Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of retaining wall technology, and in particular to a retaining wall structure with directional drainage. Background Technology

[0002] A retaining wall is a structure used to support steep slopes and maintain soil stability. It is widely used in civil engineering projects in highways, railways, water conservancy, mining, shipping, and construction. The loads it bears are mainly lateral earth pressure and water pressure behind the wall. Poor drainage within the slope behind the retaining wall generally increases the water content of the soil and foundation soil, increasing the soil's water density and reducing the shear strength of the soil and foundation surface, as well as the foundation's compressive bearing capacity. Furthermore, the increased water content generates additional hydrostatic pressure, soil expansion, and frost heave pressure, thus altering the active earth pressure on the back of the wall. With prolonged soaking, the probability of landslide instability in the soil and rock mass behind the retaining wall increases significantly.

[0003] Existing drainage systems for retaining walls typically involve drainage ditches or pipes. However, these systems are inefficient, especially during periods of high water volume when water flow is excessive. In such cases, water cannot be discharged promptly, and the pipes are prone to blockage, leading to system failure and ultimately causing the retaining wall to become unstable and damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a guide-type drainage retaining wall structure that can relieve water pressure in a timely manner, has a large drainage flow, and prevents blockage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A directional drainage retaining wall structure for draining soil and rock layers behind the retaining wall, comprising:

[0007] The expanded clay layer is set between the retaining wall and the soil and rock layer, and a water collection well is provided on the soil and rock layer;

[0008] Two drainage components are vertically spaced inside the ceramsite layer. Each drainage component includes a water collection pipe, multiple drainage pipes, and multiple drain pipes. The water collection pipe is horizontally arranged inside the ceramsite layer along the length of the retaining wall. Each drainage pipe is spaced along the length of the water collection pipe, with one end of each drainage pipe connected to one side of the water collection pipe and the other end passing through the retaining wall and extending to the outside of the retaining wall. Each drain pipe is spaced along the length of the water collection pipe, with one end of each drainage pipe connected to the other side of the water collection pipe and the other end connected to the water collection well.

[0009] And a connecting pipe, which is installed between the two water collection pipes to connect the two water collection pipes.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two connecting pipes are provided, and each connecting pipe is spaced apart along the length of the water collection pipe. The bottom of the water collection pipe is provided with filter holes at intervals, and the filter holes are located at the connection between the water collection pipe and the connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, each drainage component also includes a plain concrete cushion layer, which is set at the bottom of the water collection pipe. A medium sand filter layer is provided at the top of the water collection pipe at the bottom, and a pebble filter layer is provided at the top of the water collection pipe at the top.

[0012] Furthermore, non-woven geotextiles are installed at the bottom and top of the medium sand filter layer and at the bottom and top of the pebble filter layer.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the drain pipe extends through the retaining wall and slopes downwards.

[0014] Furthermore, one end of the drainage pipe penetrates into the soil layer and is inclined upwards.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the drainage pipe that penetrates the soil layer is equipped with a filter pad and a filter screen from the inside out. The filter pad has filter holes, and the filter screen is a metal filter screen.

[0016] Furthermore, the top of the ceramsite layer is covered with gravel.

[0017] Furthermore, an impermeable soil layer is provided behind the retaining wall, which is located at the bottom of the ceramsite layer.

[0018] Furthermore, a roadbed is provided on one side of the retaining wall, and an open ditch is provided on the side of the retaining wall where the roadbed is close to.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] In this utility model, the retaining wall structure with directional drainage has water inlets for drainage pipes with different requirements installed at different water levels, and each pipe is directionally buried and interconnected. This ensures that water in the slope behind the retaining wall can flow into the drainage pipes in a directional manner. During the high water season, when the water volume is large, the water volume can be diverted in time through the horizontal water collection pipe and the vertical connecting pipe, which can relieve the water pressure behind the retaining wall in time, prevent the slope from being soaked by water seepage, and ensure the safety of the retaining wall. At the same time, each drainage channel can also operate independently to avoid damage or blockage of a certain pipe, which would affect the overall drainage function.

[0021] The installed ceramsite can absorb seepage water in the soil and rock mass, and ceramsite has excellent compressive strength. When the soil and rock mass behind the retaining wall exerts pressure on the retaining wall, the compressive strength of the ceramsite and the pores between the ceramsite can be used to relieve the pressure, ensuring the safety of the retaining wall. In addition, the installed ceramsite can wrap and protect each drainage pipe, greatly reducing the damage to the pipes.

[0022] Furthermore, each pipeline can be prefabricated in the factory and transported to the site for assembly. The construction process is simple, which greatly improves construction efficiency, saves construction time, has a wide range of applications, and has significant social and economic benefits.

[0031] The retaining wall structure for the guided drainage includes an expanded clay layer 11, two drainage components, and a connecting pipe 10;

[0032] A soil and rock layer 14 is set behind the retaining wall 1, and a water collection well is set on the soil and rock layer 14. An impermeable soil layer 17 is set behind the retaining wall 1. A 20cm-30cm thick ceramsite layer 11 with impact resistance and water filtration is set between the retaining wall 1 and the soil and rock layer 14. The ceramsite layer 11 is located on top of the impermeable soil layer 17. The top of the ceramsite layer 11 is provided with compacted gravel 12, and an open ditch is provided on top of the gravel 12.

[0033] Two drainage components are vertically spaced inside the ceramsite layer 11, located at 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the wall height of the retaining wall 1, respectively. Each drainage component includes a 300mm diameter water collection pipe 9 and a C20 plain concrete cushion layer 6. The water collection pipe 9 is horizontally arranged inside the ceramsite layer 11 along the length of the retaining wall 1, and the plain concrete cushion layer 6 is located at the bottom of the water collection pipe 9.

[0034] Each drainage component also includes multiple 100mm diameter drain pipes 2 and multiple 200mm diameter drain pipes 3. Each drain pipe 2 is spaced apart along the length of the collection pipe 9, and one end of each drain pipe 2 is connected to one side of the collection pipe 9, and the other end passes through the retaining wall 1 and extends to the outside of the retaining wall 1. One end of the drain pipe 2 extends out of the retaining wall 1 and is inclined downward with an external slope of 5%. Each drain pipe 3 is spaced apart along the length of the collection pipe 9, and one end of each drain pipe 2 is connected to the other side of the collection pipe 9. The other end of each drain pipe 2 enters the soil layer 14, is inclined upward, and is connected to the collection well of the soil layer 14.

[0035] The end of the drainage pipe 3 that penetrates into the soil layer 14 is provided with a filter pad 16 and a filter screen 15 from the inside to the outside. The filter pad 16 has filter holes, and the filter screen 15 is a rust-proof metal filter screen. The filter pad 16 is located 2cm-3cm inside the filter screen 15.

[0036] The top of the water collection pipe 9 at the bottom is provided with a medium sand filter layer 5, which is filled with fine sand. The bottom and top of the medium sand filter layer 5 are provided with non-woven geotextile 7, which wraps the fine sand.

[0037] The top of the water collection pipe 9 is equipped with a pebble filter layer 8, which is filled with pebbles with a particle size of 20mm-50mm. The bottom and top of the pebble filter layer 8 are both covered with non-woven geotextile 7.

[0038] At least two connecting pipes 10 are provided, and each connecting pipe 10 is spaced apart along the length of the water collection pipe 9. The connecting pipe 10 is located between two water collection pipes 9 to connect the upper and lower water collection pipes 9. The bottom of the upper water collection pipe 9 is provided with filter holes 18 at intervals.

[0040] The working principle of this guided drainage retaining wall structure is as follows: Accumulated water enters through one end of each drainage pipe 3, flows along the inclined drainage pipe 3 into the collection pipe 9. When the accumulated water enters the drainage pipe 3, it first passes through the filter screen 15 and filter pad 16 to prevent foreign objects from entering the drainage structure of the retaining wall 1. After filtration, the accumulated water enters the collection pipe 9 and is then discharged through the inclined drain pipe 2 on one side of the collection pipe 9. The accumulated water discharged through the drain pipe 2 falls into the open ditch 13 for discharge. When the water volume is large, since the upper and lower collection pipes 9 are connected by the connecting pipe 10, it is ensured that during the high water season, when the water volume is large, the water volume can be diverted in time through the horizontally connected collection pipe 9 and the vertical connecting pipe 10, which can relieve the water pressure behind the retaining wall 1 in time, prevent the slope from being soaked by water seepage, and ensure the safety of the retaining wall 1.
