Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water conservancy project construction, in particular to an emergency disposal device for preventing seepage failure of earth-rock dams. Background Technique

[0002] Reservoir projects store a large amount of water all year round. Each hydrological year faces large fluctuations in water levels. Especially during the flood season, the water levels are high. At this time, there is a large water head difference between the inside and outside of the dam, and the dam body is subjected to a great water pressure. At this time, the stability of the dam body and the safety of the structure are crucial for the normal operation of the reservoir. Especially for earth-rock dams, since the dam body is mainly composed of loose materials, it is not only subjected to a strong reservoir water pressure, but also a large seepage pressure will be generated inside the dam body under the action of a large water head difference. When the phreatic line in the dam body is high and the hydraulic gradient is greater than the allowable gradient of the dam body material, piping or soil flow and other seepage failures will occur in the earth-rock dam, thus endangering the stability and safety of the dam.

[0003] At present, there are 98,000 reservoirs in the country, 90% of which are earth-rock dams. When operating at high water levels, the high phreatic line in the downstream dam area causes seepage failures such as piping and soil flow, which is an important reason endangering the stability of the dam and is also the main problem to be addressed in the emergency rescue of reservoir dams over the years. When operating at high water levels, once the downstream slope of the earth-rock dam shows signs of seepage water infiltration on the slope surface, emergency rescue measures can be taken to prevent seepage failure. Among them, guiding seepage through the downstream dam area to lower the phreatic line is a commonly used emergency rescue method. This method is mainly divided into 3 categories. The specific methods, advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

[0004] 1. Excavate a seepage guiding ditch in the seepage infiltration area of the downstream dam slope to drain the seepage water. The depth and width should be determined according to the seepage situation, generally 0.5 - 1 meter. Anti-seepage materials are laid in the seepage guiding ditch to prevent soil particles from being carried out. This method is simple in construction and low in cost; however, the stability of the dam body may be affected during the excavation process, and the seepage guiding depth is limited, resulting in limited reduction of the phreatic line.

[0005] 2. Set up relief wells downstream of the dam to reduce the seepage pressure inside the dam body. Filter pipes are installed in the wells, and anti-seepage materials are filled around. This method can effectively reduce the seepage pressure and prevent seepage failure; however, hole collapse may occur during the well completion process, thus affecting the stability of the dam body, and the construction difficulty is large and the cost is high.

[0006] 3. Lay an anti-seepage layer in the seepage infiltration area of the downstream dam slope, which can prevent soil particles from being carried out by the seepage water and protect the stability of the dam slope. This method is simple in construction and low in cost; however, it can basically not reduce the phreatic line inside the dam body, and the seepage guiding effect is limited.

The seepage water in the dam enters the spiral drain pipe 4 through the water inlet holes 9 and is discharged through the water outlet of the spiral drain pipe 4, having good seepage guiding effect.

[0034] Among them, the spiral drain pipe 4 includes a head pipe 6, a plurality of intermediate pipes 11 and a tail pipe 14 that are detachably connected in sequence. The tapered anchor head 7 is located at the front end of the head pipe 6, and the connector 16 is located at the rear end of the tail pipe 14. The spiral wings 8 are arranged at equal pitches on the outer peripheral surfaces of the head pipe 6, the intermediate pipes 11 and the tail pipe 14, and a plurality of water inlet holes 9 are evenly arranged on the head pipe 6 and the intermediate pipes 11. Specifically, the head pipe 6 is threadedly connected to the intermediate pipe 11 at the forefront, the adjacent two intermediate pipes 11 are threadedly connected, and the intermediate pipe 11 at the rearmost is threadedly connected to the tail pipe 14.

[0035] In this embodiment, an external thread connecting portion 10 is provided at the rear end of the head pipe 6, an internal thread connecting portion 12 is provided at the front end of the intermediate pipe 11, an external thread connecting portion 13 is provided at the rear end of the intermediate pipe 11, and an internal thread connecting portion 15 is provided at the front end of the tail pipe 14.
