Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydraulic retaining wall and embankment construction technology, specifically to a retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor and an embankment structure using the same structure. Background Technology
[0002] To prevent erosion damage to river and lake banks and to bridge the differences in elevation between water and land, retaining walls are often constructed. Due to aging, damage, or higher safety standards, some retaining walls require reinforcement. Furthermore, in recent years, with social development, retaining walls have also needed to address new demands such as improving the ecological function of river and lake shorelines and creating waterfront recreational spaces.
[0003] CN118390456A discloses a flood control wall heightening structure and construction method. This structure mainly includes a heightening component installed on top of the original flood control wall. This component comprises a template box, a cover unit, a water-retaining unit, and a support unit. The cover unit can be opened and closed, and the template box serves as a casting template and for storage. The water-retaining unit, together with the concrete foundation, forms a new, stable, and reliable flood control wall. The support unit is moved from the bottom to the top, reducing its impact on the passage of the sightseeing corridor and simultaneously supporting the water-retaining unit for reinforcement. Since this type of flood control wall is located on the side of the sightseeing corridor, heightening the wall to enhance flood control would obstruct the view. This patented solution uses a complex and prone-to-failure heightening component. Normally, the component needs to be lowered mechanically for easy viewing; during floods or when water levels rise, it needs to be raised to block high-level floodwaters. This results in high cost, complex structure, and relatively low flood control safety. Utility Model Content

[0007] Furthermore, the cross-sectional structure of the main wall, wall base, and load-bearing plate after connection is C-shaped.
[0008] Furthermore, a retaining step is provided on the top surface of the side of the wall base closest to the water area. The retaining step is used to pile up a layer of soil and rocks for cultivation on the top surface of the wall base.
[0009] Furthermore, the main wall, wall base, and load-bearing plate are integrated and consolidated.
[0010] Furthermore, the main wall has several first drainage channels, which run through both sides of the main wall.
[0011] This utility model proposes a embankment structure that utilizes a retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor, as described in any of the preceding claims. The embankment structure includes the aforementioned retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor and an embankment. The embankment includes an embankment retaining wall and an embankment soil layer that is separated by the embankment retaining wall. The side of the main wall facing away from the water area is connected to the embankment retaining wall.
[0012] Furthermore, the main wall has several first drainage channels that run through both sides of the main wall; the embankment retaining wall has several second drainage channels; the first drainage channels are connected to the corresponding second drainage channels.
[0013] Furthermore, the embankment structure includes several anchor bars; the anchor bars are respectively inserted into the retaining wall and the main wall of the embankment to reinforce the connection between the retaining wall and the main wall.
[0014] Furthermore, the retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor is at the same height as the embankment retaining wall relative to sea level.

[0024] Example 1
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown:
[0026] This embodiment proposes a retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor. It includes an upwardly extending main wall 42 and a wall base 41 extending toward the water area 100 (specifically, a river / lake). The cross-sectional structure of the main wall 42 and the wall base 41 after connection is L-shaped. The side of the main wall 42 facing away from the water area 100 is connected to the embankment. The main wall 42 is provided with a load-bearing plate 422 extending toward the water area 100 and located on the top side of the main wall 42, which serves as a waterfront corridor.
[0027] Ideally, the cross-sectional structure of the main wall 42, the wall base 41, and the load-bearing plate 422 after connection is U-shaped.
[0028] Further optimized, the top surface of the support plate 422 is parallel to or slightly inclined to the horizontal plane (the slight inclination of the top surface of the support plate 422 helps to prevent water accumulation).
[0029] Ideally, a retaining step 411 is provided on the top surface of the side of the wall base 41 closest to the water area 100. The retaining step 411 is used to pile up a cultivation soil and stone layer 2 on the top surface of the wall base 41. Specifically, the retaining step 411, the wall base 41 and the main wall 42 form an upward-facing cavity, which is filled with soil and stone to form the cultivation soil and stone layer 2, which serves as a substrate for plant growth or a habitat for cave-dwelling animals, thus becoming a waterfront ecological corridor. It can also increase the weight of the wall base 41, thereby further improving its stability. Several third drainage channels 3 are provided in the side wall of the retaining step 411 to connect the pore water in the cultivation soil and stone layer 2 with the river and lake water, thereby achieving water integration and improving the ecological effect.
[0030] Ideally, the main wall 42, the wall base 41, and the load-bearing plate 422 are integrated and consolidated.
[0031] Ideally, the main wall 42 is provided with several first drainage channels 423, which penetrate both sides of the main wall 42; the first drainage channels 423 are used to discharge groundwater in the embankment soil.
[0032] In a further optimized manner, the load-bearing plate 422 (i.e., the suspended plate) is located on top of the main wall 42 (i.e., the protective panel) and is fixed to the main wall 42 as a whole; the platform formed by the load-bearing plate 422 can serve as an extension of the land area of the embankment, becoming a waterfront activity corridor such as a waterfront walkway and a waterfront platform for human activities.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown:
[0035] This embodiment proposes a embankment structure that utilizes the retaining wall reinforcement structure that combines waterfront corridor functions as described in any of the technical solutions in Embodiment 1 above. The embankment structure is characterized by including the aforementioned retaining wall reinforcement structure that combines waterfront corridor functions and an embankment; the embankment includes an embankment retaining wall 400 and an embankment soil layer 300 that is separated by the embankment retaining wall 400; the side of the main wall 42 facing away from the water area 100 is connected to the embankment retaining wall 400.
[0036] Ideally, the main wall 42 is provided with several first drainage channels 423, which penetrate both sides of the main wall 42; the embankment retaining wall 400 is provided with several second drainage channels 4001; the first drainage channels 423 are connected to the corresponding second drainage channels 4001; specifically, the second drainage channels 4001 penetrate both sides of the embankment retaining wall 400.
[0037] Ideally, the embankment structure includes several anchor bars 1; the anchor bars 1 are respectively inserted into the embankment retaining wall 400 and the main wall 42 to reinforce the connection between the embankment retaining wall 400 and the main wall 42.
[0038] Ideally, the retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor is at the same height as the embankment retaining wall 400 relative to sea level.
[0039] Specifically, the retaining wall reinforcement structure that also serves as a waterfront corridor is located outside the existing embankment retaining wall 400. The main wall 42 is closely attached to the outside of the existing embankment retaining wall 400 and is connected to the existing embankment retaining wall 400 as a whole through anchor bars. When there is a drainage channel in the existing embankment retaining wall 400, the drainage channel set in the main wall 42 is connected to the drainage channel of the existing embankment retaining wall 400 to ensure smooth drainage of the embankment retaining wall 400.
[0040] In a further optimized manner, the wall base 41 is placed on the foundation of the existing embankment retaining wall 400, becoming part of the foundation of the existing embankment retaining wall 400.
[0041] The trough-shaped retaining wall reinforcement structure of this utility model, which also serves as a waterfront corridor, is attached to the outer side of the existing embankment retaining wall 400 and connected to the embankment retaining wall 400 as a whole through anchor bars 1. The main wall 42 can improve the scour resistance and structural strength of the embankment retaining wall 400, thus solving the structural strength problem of the existing embankment retaining wall 400. The wall base 41 is placed on the foundation of the existing embankment retaining wall 400, becoming part of the foundation of the existing embankment retaining wall 400, increasing the foundation width of the embankment retaining wall 400, and improving the stress distribution of the foundation. The trough-shaped retaining wall reinforcement structure of this utility model, which also serves as a waterfront corridor, the overall weight of the cultivation soil and rock layer 2, and the anti-sliding force formed by the foundation can improve the anti-sliding stability of the embankment retaining wall 400.
[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
