Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of civil engineering highway technology, and in particular to a technology for the renovation of old embankments, specifically a new type of highway embankment widening structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy and society, local roads built in the early stages have gradually become unable to meet the requirements of mixed pedestrian and non-motorized traffic or driving comfort after more than ten years of operation. Therefore, it is necessary to widen the roadbed and renovate the pavement at the same time.

[0003] In engineering practice, highway embankment widening is generally carried out using either double-sided or single-sided widening. Double-sided widening is further divided into double-sided equal-width widening and double-sided unequal-width widening. According to conventional experience or practice, when the widening width is greater than 1.5m, it can be achieved by excavating steps and then backfilling and sloping. However, when the widening width is less than 1.5m, in order to ensure the minimum construction width for machinery, it is often necessary to construct an extra-wide embankment on the outside of the existing road and then cut the slope. However, this method requires additional land acquisition and demolition, and the extra-wide embankment needs to be excavated later, wasting resources, increasing costs, and failing to reflect the concept of green and sustainable development.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a road embankment widening structure and construction method that does not require additional land occupation and demolition, avoids resource waste, overcomes differential settlement, is easy to construct, and has a reasonable cost is one of the technical problems that urgently need to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem that when the existing embankment widening width is less than 1.5m, in order to ensure the minimum construction width for machinery, the method of filling the roadbed with extra width on the outside of the old road and then cutting the slope is often adopted. This method requires additional land use and demolition, and the extra-wide roadbed needs to be excavated later, which wastes resources, increases costs, and does not reflect green and sustainable development. The present invention designs a new embankment widening structure that can achieve the goal of widening the roadbed without the need for additional land use and saves resources and costs by using L-shaped blocks.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A novel highway embankment widening structure includes an old roadbed 1, with an old road subgrade 5 at the bottom and an old road surface 3 at the top. The highway embankment, composed of the old road surface 3, the old roadbed 1, and the old road subgrade 5, has sloping sides. Its key feature is that L-shaped blocks 2 are symmetrically installed on one or both sides of the old road shoulder before reconstruction. The L-shaped blocks 2 are reinforced concrete structures integrally cast from sidewalls 201 and a base plate 202. The base plate 202 is supported in the old roadbed 1. The inner side of the sidewall 201 intersects with the narrowest point of the old road surface 3 (i.e., the inner side of the sidewall 201 should intersect with the widened road surface). A filling space 4 is formed between the inner side of the sidewall 201, the innermost side of the base plate 202, and the surface of the base plate 202 not connected to the sidewall 201 to facilitate the installation of the L-shaped blocks 2. The filling space 4 is filled with a filling material compatible with the material of the old road surface 3.

[0008] Preferably, the L-shaped stop is a cast-in-place reinforced concrete structure, consisting of side walls and a bottom slab forming an L-shape.

[0009] Preferably, the outer edge of the top of the L-shaped block sidewall is aligned with the outer edge of the top of the roadbed after widening. The width of the sidewall is controlled according to the shoulder of the new road after widening the old road. The top surface of the sidewall is controlled to be 1-2 cm lower than the shoulder of the new road. The depth of the sidewall is controlled according to the top of the old roadbed.

[0010] Preferably, the L-shaped block base plate is connected to the bottom of the side wall, and the inner edge of the base plate is determined according to the width of the old roadbed, with a minimum of 175cm. The thickness of the base plate can be controlled at 22cm.

[0011] Preferably, the concrete in the L-shaped stop is C30 cement concrete, and the reinforcing bars are composed of load-bearing reinforcing bars and structural reinforcing bars, numbered ① to ⑤.

[0012] Preferably, when a crash barrier is required, a corrugated beam barrier can be installed by pre-embedding a guardrail post sleeve 203 in the side wall of the L-shaped block; the height of the sleeve is controlled according to the height of the side wall of the L-shaped block, the sleeve diameter should be 4 to 10 cm wider than the post diameter, and reinforcing ribs are arranged around the sleeve.

[0013] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:

[0014] 1) This utility model directly sets L-shaped blocks on the outside of the old roadbed, without requiring additional land occupation or demolition;

[0015] 2) This utility model avoids the waste caused by excavation after the roadbed is filled with excessive width, saves costs and conserves resources;

[0016] 3) This utility model can effectively reduce the differential settlement between new and old roadbeds by directly setting L-shaped blocks on the old roadbed that has been in operation and compacted for many years;

[0017] 4) By setting up L-shaped blocks, the entire structure can be tied with steel bars and concrete poured on site, making construction convenient, simple, and fast. Attached Figure Description
