Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of drainage structures, in particular to a foundation drainage structure for a concrete face rockfill dam. Background Art

[0002] In hydropower and water conservancy projects, the concrete face rockfill dam is a common dam type. After the foundation excavation, the terrain downstream of the toe slab of the concrete face rockfill dam is generally higher than the elevation of the toe slab foundation, resulting in poor foundation drainage. The reverse water pressure acting on the face slab formed by rainfall during the construction period, construction water use and seepage during the operation period may cause damage to the face slab and engineering failure.

[0003] Most concrete face rockfill dams are located in river beds and valleys, and the terrain downstream is only slightly higher than the toe slab. During the construction period, a reverse drainage structure or drainage channel can be used to solve the problem. Before impoundment, the reverse drainage structure is blocked, and the drainage channel can continue to be used for drainage during the operation period; during the operation period, the drainage channel excavated during the construction period can be used to continue drainage, or considering that the terrain downstream is only slightly higher than the toe slab and the upstream of the face slab is backfilled with some stone slag, which can effectively level the pressure, no special foundation drainage measures are set during the operation period.

[0004] For some existing projects, due to terrain reasons, a secondary dam needs to be set on the reservoir bank. The terrain of the toe slab is much higher than the toe slab foundation, and it is difficult and costly to excavate the drainage channel. Moreover, due to the large terrain height difference, the reverse water pressure acting on the face slab during the sudden drop of the water level during the operation period cannot be effectively leveled by backfilling with stone slag, and the risk of face slab damage is great.

[0023] The following further elaborates on the present utility model Figures 1-3 in conjunction with the appended drawings.

[0024] Please refer to the drawings in the specification Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 . An embodiment provided by the present utility model: A drainage structure for the foundation of a concrete face rockfill dam, comprising a concrete face rockfill dam 1, and a rockfill backfill 7 is laid upstream of the concrete face rockfill dam 1.

[0025] A drainage tunnel 2 is provided in the foundation of the concrete face rockfill dam 1, and the drainage tunnel is constructed together with the excavation of the dam foundation by the drill and blast method; the diameter of the drainage tunnel 2 is 3 m, the periphery of the drainage tunnel 2 is lined with C25 concrete with a thickness of 30 cm, and the longitudinal slope of the bottom plate of the drainage tunnel 2 is 5%. Lining the periphery of the drainage tunnel 2 with a layer of C25 concrete with a thickness of 30 cm facilitates increasing the stability and drainage effect of the drainage tunnel 2, and at the same time facilitates the operator to enter the drainage tunnel 2 for maintenance.

[0026] A reinforced gabion 3 is arranged outside the inlet of the drainage tunnel 2. The length, height and width of the reinforced gabion 3 are all 100 cm. The reinforced gabion 3 is filled with pebbles 8, and the particle size of the pebbles 8 is 8 - 20 cm. The reinforced gabions 3 are neatly stacked upstream of the inlet of the drainage tunnel 2 for reverse filtration drainage and can avoid the possibility of the dam filling stones entering the drainage tunnel 2.

[0027] A concrete retaining wall 4 is arranged inside the inlet of the drainage tunnel 2. The concrete retaining wall 4 is a C20 concrete structure. The height of the concrete retaining wall 4 is the same as the height of the drainage tunnel 2. The concrete retaining wall 4 adopts a gravity-type concrete wall structure. The top width of the concrete retaining wall 4 is 1 m, and the upstream surface is vertical, and the downstream surface is 1:0.5. Drainage holes 9 with a pore diameter of 50 cm are arranged on the wall of the concrete retaining wall 4.

[0028] A concrete toe plate 5 is provided on the face rockfill dam 1, and a basic drainage structure is provided within the dam foundation of the face rockfill dam 1 with higher terrain downstream of the concrete toe plate 5 to drain the seepage of the dam and avoid the possibility of reverse water pressure at the bottom of the face plate and affecting safety; the concrete toe plate 5 is connected to the face plate as a whole through a peripheral seam with a water stop to form an anti-seepage body above the dam foundation, and is also connected to the bedrock after foundation treatment to close the leakage channel below the ground, so that the upper and lower anti-seepage structures are connected as a whole. In addition to anti-seepage, its main function is to serve as a cover plate for foundation grouting and a base for the face plate.

[0029] Curtain grouting 6 is arranged below the concrete toe plate 5. Curtain grouting 6 is a grouting project in which slurry is poured into cracks and pores of rock or soil to form a continuous water-blocking curtain to reduce seepage flow and lower penetration pressure.
