Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ballast track bed maintenance and reinforcement, and particularly relates to a railway ballast track reinforcement and repair anti-seepage pad for rapid construction. BACKGROUND

[0002] Since the 1950s, China's railways have experienced rapid development and continuous expansion, becoming one of the longest and busiest railway networks in the world. The total mileage of China's railways has significantly increased over the past few decades. According to the latest data, as of the end of 2021, the total mileage of China's railways exceeded 140,000 kilometers, including high-speed railways, conventional speed railways, and mine railways of different types of railway lines.

[0003] Among them, ballast tracks are widely used in conventional speed railways, mine railways, and other fields. They refer to railway tracks that use ballast stones (gravel) as the track layer on railway lines. They have advantages such as good shock absorption, low price, convenient maintenance, and energy absorption and noise reduction. However, under the influence of high-speed and heavy-load trains and underground water seepage, the track bed is prone to mud and slurry, vertical cumulative settlement, and lateral displacement, leading to track bed degradation. Ballast, as a natural granular material, has almost zero inter-particle cohesion and poor tensile performance. To improve the overall shear strength and stability of the track bed and reduce lateral deformation, there have been research and application of laying geogrids for reinforcement in engineering. However, practical application shows that geogrids, as geotechnical materials for reinforcing railway track beds, can reduce track bed deformation and extend maintenance cycles, but the strength and stiffness of geogrids cannot meet the requirements of railway foundations. In particular, in sections with high underground water levels, mud and slurry lead to serious overall degradation of the track bed structure, and conventional replacement and grouting treatment is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with poor results.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that:

[0018] 1. The solid base anti-infiltration pad has a three-layer structure, the middle layer is a grid, the upper and lower layers are film layers, and the film layers are directly formed on the middle grid; the grid is the main force structure, can effectively control the overall settlement of the track, and the large-area mesh of the grid provides deformation space for the upper and lower film layers, so that the upper and lower film layers can deform when subjected to impact from the upper and lower parts without being directly damaged, and can also have a good buffering effect to better protect the main structure. The entire upper surface of the solid base anti-infiltration pad is micro-arched, facilitating water drainage of the upper surface layer.

[0019] 2. The bottom surface anti-infiltration layer, which is a high-density polyethylene film, can prevent the upward flow of mud.

[0021] 4, the surface protection layer-geotextile composite film can prevent the damage of the grid to the grid. The ballast in the ballast layer may impact and press the grid, and the geotextile composite film as a protective layer can effectively disperse and reduce the impact force, and cooperate with the central grid layer to form a micro-arch structure with high middle and low sides along the track direction. The surface protection layer integrates anti-seepage and drainage functions, which can improve the overall service life and stability of the material.
