Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an auxiliary equipment for civil engineering construction, and more particularly to a geotextile covering and fastening clamp for tunnel sidewalls. Background Technology
[0002] For cut-and-cover tunnel projects, the sidewalls are a key component of the tunnel lining structure, and their concrete curing and waterproofing effects directly affect the overall quality, service life, and operational safety of the tunnel. Geotextile fabric is often laid on the inner surface of the sidewalls.
[0003] On the one hand, ensuring the geotextile adheres tightly to the sidewall surface is a crucial construction step in concrete curing. A tight fit effectively slows moisture evaporation, contributing to the steady increase of concrete strength. Poor adhesion leads to rapid moisture loss from the concrete surface, and under the influence of humidity and temperature gradients, uneven shrinkage can easily cause cracks, weakening the sidewall's load-bearing capacity and durability, posing a safety hazard to tunnel operation. On the other hand, as a key pre-support for the subsequent construction of the composite waterproofing system using waterproofing membranes, the integrity of the geotextile itself is paramount. Damage to it will have a significant adverse impact on the overall waterproofing effectiveness.
[0004] Current methods for fixing geotextile to the inner sidewalls of tunnels have the following drawbacks: nailing and shims can easily damage the geotextile and lead to loosening over time; expansion bolts, while secure, can damage the sidewall structure during drilling and are slow to install; adhesive bonding is highly dependent on environmental and substrate conditions, resulting in slow bond strength development, poor water resistance, high operational difficulty, and challenging maintenance; hot-melt welding is limited to specific materials, has high equipment costs, and requires stringent technical expertise. Therefore, ensuring a tight and undamaged fit of the geotextile to the tunnel sidewall is a critical technical challenge that urgently needs to be overcome in tunnel construction. Summary of the Invention

The column slot has a U-shaped structure, and the column support rod is located inside the column slot. The column locking screw passes through one side of the column slot and is threaded to one side of the column slot. The end of the column locking screw can contact the outer wall of the column support rod.
