Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of environmental engineering, specifically to a drainage system for a slope-type spoil disposal site. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale civil engineering projects typically require large spoil heaps. Based on geological and topographical conditions, their relative location to rivers, and flood control methods, spoil heaps can be categorized into gully-type, riverside-type, sloping-type, flat-type, and reservoir-type. For typical sloping-type spoil heaps, only slope stability under heavy rainfall conditions needs to be considered. Therefore, the common practice is to implement anti-sliding measures at the end of the spoil heap and then construct a crisscrossing surface drainage system to reduce the impact of surface seepage on the slopes, thus ensuring the overall stability of the spoil heap. However, for sloping spoil heaps with deep overburden and high groundwater levels, seepage within the spoil heap is difficult to drain quickly under heavy rainfall conditions. Combined with the high groundwater level, groundwater inrush and surface seepage can easily lead to slope instability. Utility Model Content
[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a drainage system for sloping spoil disposal sites, which is expected to effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A drainage system for a sloping spoil heap includes a surface drainage system, a shallow drainage system, and a deep drainage system. The surface drainage system includes intercepting ditches and several walkways. The intercepting ditches are set around the edge of the spoil heap. The walkways are set across the surface of the spoil heap. A walkway drainage ditch is provided on the inner side of the walkway. Both ends of the walkway drainage ditch are connected to the intercepting ditches.
[0006] The shallow drainage system includes several deep intercepting drainage channels and drainage blind ditches. The deep intercepting drainage channels are arranged in a crisscross pattern below the ground line of the spoil disposal site and above the lower limit of the fully weathered zone. The deep intercepting drainage channels are connected to the drainage blind ditches, and the ends of the deep intercepting drainage channels are connected to drainage steel pipes.
[0007] The deep drainage system includes drainage tunnels located below the lower limit of the strong weathering zone, arranged in a zigzag pattern. The drainage tunnels have several deep drainage holes spaced at intervals on the inner arch and upstream side. The drainage tunnel openings are equipped with drainage channels that connect to the roadside ditch.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a drainage system for a sloping spoil heap includes a surface drainage system, a shallow drainage system and a deep drainage system. The surface drainage system includes a water interception ditch 1 and several walkways. The water interception ditch 1 is set around the edge of the spoil heap. The walkways are set across the surface of the spoil heap. The walkway drainage ditch 2 is set on the inner side of the walkway to drain surface seepage water. The two ends of the walkway drainage ditch 2 are connected to the water interception ditch 1.
[0026] The shallow drainage system includes several deep intercepting drainage channels 3 and drainage blind ditches 4. The deep intercepting drainage channels 3 are arranged in a crisscross pattern below the ground line of the spoil disposal site and above the lower limit of the fully weathered zone. The deep intercepting drainage channels 3 are connected to the drainage blind ditches 4. A slag retaining dam is built at the bottom slope of the spoil disposal site to enhance the anti-sliding stability of the slag body. A drainage steel pipe 6 is pre-buried downstream of the slag retaining dam. The end of the deep intercepting drainage channel 3 is connected to the drainage steel pipe 6.
[0027] The deep drainage system includes a drainage tunnel 5, which is located below the lower limit of the strong weathering zone and is distributed in a zigzag shape. The inner arch and the upstream side of the drainage tunnel 5 are provided with several deep drainage holes 52 at intervals. The interval between two adjacent deep drainage holes 52 is 6 m. The entrance 51 of the drainage tunnel is provided with a drainage ditch, which is connected to the roadside ditch.
[0028] The deep drainage channel 3 is equipped with a first geotextile 31.
[0029] The deep drainage trench is arranged from bottom to top as follows: geotextile pipe 32, graded crushed stone 33, geotextile pipe 32, stone chips 34, and completely weathered soil 35.
[0030] The geotextile 32 is wrapped with geotextile to filter fine particles on the surface of the slag and prevent the geotextile from becoming clogged.
[0031] The drainage blind ditch 4 was constructed from the original drainage ditch and open channel. The bottom of the drainage blind ditch 4 is composed of large stones 41, pebbles 42, second geotextile 43, and gravel layer 44 from bottom to top.
[0032] A sedimentation tank 7 is installed at the outlet of the drainage steel pipe 6 to settle the fine particles in the seepage water.
[0033] A funnel-shaped outlet 8 is installed downstream of sedimentation basin 7 to connect with the existing open channel or downstream river channel to discharge slag and seep water.
[0034] The diameter of the drainage tunnel 5 is 3-5 m.
[0035] The deep drainage hole 52 is equipped with a PE drainage pipe and is wrapped with geotextile to filter fine particles on the surface of the slag.
[0036] To achieve rapid drainage and meet the requirements of the spoil disposal site, the surface of the spoil disposal site after removing the overburden layer is first constructed with a deep drainage channel 3 and a blind ditch 4. After the construction is completed, the spoil disposal site can be piled up. At the same time, drainage tunnel 5 is excavated and deep drainage hole 52 is constructed. After the spoil is piled up to the design elevation, a horse trail and a horse trail drainage ditch 2 are set up on the slope.
[0037] The deep drainage system is also designed to ensure the safety of the entire slag yard drainage. This is mainly because if the geotextile in the crisscrossing intercepting and drainage channels 3 of the shallow drainage system ages or is damaged during use, it will carry away the fine particles in the slag during the drainage process, which may lead to the overall instability of the slag body and cause it to collapse.
[0038] Specifically, the drainage system for the aforementioned slope-type spoil heap is implemented through the following steps:
[0039] S1: Construct intercepting ditches around the perimeter of the slag dump. The intercepting ditches shall be constructed of reinforced concrete.
[0040] S2: After removing the surface cover layer of the mountain, the original gullies and open channels on the surface are converted into drainage blind ditches. The ditches are laid and compacted in layers from bottom to top in the order of large stones, pebbles and gravel to the design elevation. To ensure the drainage effect of the blind ditches and prevent fine particles from clogging them, a layer of geotextile is placed between the pebble and gravel layers.
[0041] S3: Concrete retaining dam is built at the bottom slope of the spoil disposal site. A drainage steel pipe is pre-embedded in the dam body. A reinforced concrete sedimentation tank is set at the downstream outlet of the drainage steel pipe to settle fine particles in the seepage water of the spoil. A funnel-shaped opening is set at the downstream of the sedimentation tank to connect with the existing open channel or downstream river to discharge the seepage water of the spoil.
[0042] S4: First, remove the completely weathered layer from the deep, crisscrossing interception and drainage trenches on the mountain surface. Then, lay geotextile pipes at the bottom and wrap them with geotextile fabric. Backfill the inside of the interception and drainage trenches with crushed stone and stone chips, and wrap the bottom of the interception and drainage trenches with geotextile fabric. After the excavation platform at the top of the drainage trenches is treated with geotextile pipes wrapped with geotextile fabric and stone chips backfilled, backfill a layer of completely weathered soil on top and pile the waste in the spoil disposal site by layered compaction. The end of the drainage trench is effectively connected to the drainage steel pipe of the slag retaining dam.
[0043] S5: After the spoil heap is piled up to the design elevation, a horse walkway is set up on the surface, and a horse walkway drainage ditch is set up on the inside of the horse walkway to drain some of the natural slope rainwater.
[0044] S6: A zigzag drainage tunnel is excavated below the strong weathering limit at the bottom of the slag heap. To meet the drainage needs of the drainage tunnel, the tunnel is arranged along the slope. To save construction time, the drainage tunnel can be excavated using the TBM method. The diameter of the excavation section should be 3-5 m. Deep drainage holes are constructed inside the drainage tunnel. PE drainage pipes are buried in the deep drainage holes and wrapped with geotextile. A drainage ditch is excavated at the entrance of the drainage tunnel to lead to the existing roadside ditch for discharge.
[0045] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present utility model, and are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made to the present utility model within the spirit and protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
