Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the silt dam technical field, is a kind of silt dam based on geosynthetic composite structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In some areas, the terrain is mountainous and deep, summer rain is concentrated, and the duration is short, which is easy to produce local rainstorm flood, and the soil erosion is serious, the surface soil erosion resistance is weak, and the soil particles can be carried away by water flow when raining, which is easy to appear sandy water flow, and it has serious erosion on loess plateau, and its gully terrain promotes the development of the erosion. Silt dam is an effective measure to control soil erosion, reduce flood discharge and reduce river bed incision speed, and becomes the main engineering measure for blocking mud and silt in loess plateau soil conservation management.

[0003] At present, many silt dams have been built, most of which are homogeneous dams filled by local materials by rolling, and after long-term operation, many silt dams are currently running with diseases, and the silt dam itself has the risk of slope instability, seepage damage, and safety hazards such as cracks, collapse, seepage and gully, and its main performance is the following engineering problems:

[0004] ① Dam slope instability and damage: in silt dam, reservoir basin water, dam land water and rainwater will penetrate downstream, and the dam foot will be immersed, the soil weight will increase, the cementing material in the soil will be dissolved to weaken the soil strength, and the fine particles in the soil will be carried away by the seepage water flow to empty the soil skeleton, which will eventually lead to the instability and collapse of the dam slope under the influence of gravity.

[0005] ② Dam body piping damage: the upstream dam land is formed by the natural deposition of soil particles in sandy water, with low density and high water permeability. During the process of rainwater infiltration, the dam land will be damaged by the effect of hidden erosion, and then the settlement phenomenon will appear. Surface water will gather in the settlement part to form water, which will soak the surface loess and make it collapse. At the same time, the water penetrates downward along the joint, crack and pore, further intensifies the damage of hidden erosion to the dam land, causes the fine particles in the soil to be carried away, the cementing material between the soil particles to be dissolved, and the dam body to be continuously penetrated, so as to empty the soil skeleton of the dam body, thereby causing piping damage.

[0006] ③ Dam body settlement damage: under the continuous penetration of upstream water storage and seepage rainwater, soil particles will be displaced under the action of water flow, and the arrangement will be more compact, which will cause the settlement of dam body. This uneven deformation will produce tensile force in the soil body, and once the tensile force exceeds the tensile strength of the soil body, the dam body will appear transverse cracking.

[0007] ④ Dam slope surface erosion damage: The dam body of the traditional silt dam on the Loess Plateau is filled with loose and porous loess, under the action of rainfall, the surface soil particles of the loess slope are carried away by the water flow under the erosion of rainfall, and gullies are formed on the slope surface of the dam slope; At the same time, many built silt dams do not set drainage ditches around the dam slope, and the dam slope is eroded by the runoff of the bank slope for a long time to form gullies. Almost all homogeneous dam type silt dams constructed by loess on the Loess Plateau have large or small gullies on the slope surface of the dam slope.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new silt dam solution to solve the problem of easy damage of the above-mentioned silt dam, and to improve the safety and service life of the dam shell. SUMMARY

[0009] The utility model provides a kind of silt dam based on geosynthetic composite structure, overcome the above-mentioned prior art insufficient, it can effectively solve the problem of existing silt dam easy penetration, erosion damage leads to dam shell damage short service life.
