[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Example

[0019] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution for widening a high-fill, deep soft soil section of an existing roadbed: it includes mixing piles 110 spaced apart and inserted into the soft soil foundation, and a foamed concrete wall 130 supported on the soft soil foundation. The inner side of the foamed concrete wall 130 has a protrusion supporting the existing roadbed, which is fixed to the existing roadbed. It can be seen that the inner and outer sides of the foamed concrete wall are supported by the existing roadbed and the soft soil foundation, respectively. Figure 1 The existing roadbed excavation shown has steps 120. The protrusions of the foamed concrete wall 130 have a shape adapted to the steps 120, so that the protrusions of the foamed concrete wall 130 are supported by the steps 120. The upper surface of the existing roadbed is flush with the upper surface of the foamed concrete wall 130.

[0020] like Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, this widening structure also includes steel pipe piles 140 sequentially inserted into the foamed concrete wall 130 and the existing roadbed step 120, with the step 120 and the foamed concrete wall 130 fixed together by the steel pipe piles 140. To ensure stable support for the foamed concrete wall 130, the mixing piles 110 penetrate the soft soil layer and enter the underlying layer (hard soil or rock layer) to a depth of not less than 1.0m. The spacing between the mixing piles 110 is set to 1.2m, the length of the mixing piles 110 is set to 12m, and the diameter of the mixing piles 110 is set to 500mm. Through composite foundation reinforcement, the bearing capacity and overall stability of the foundation can be improved. The step 120 and the foamed concrete wall 130 are provided above the mixing piles 110. The density of the foamed concrete wall 130 is 300-600 kg / m³. 3 With a strength grade greater than or equal to C30, it effectively meets the requirements for widening narrow sections, reduces pressure on deep soft soil foundations, minimizes uneven settlement between new and old roadbeds, and improves the overall stability of the widening project. The foamed concrete wall 130 is constructed using a layered pouring method, with each layer having a pouring height of 300-500mm. During the pouring process, a dedicated foamed concrete foaming equipment and delivery pump are used to evenly pour the foamed concrete into the formwork. This eliminates the need for large-scale machinery and complex formwork support systems, significantly shortening the construction period and reducing construction costs. Steel pipe piles 140 with a diameter of 700mm are installed sequentially between the foamed concrete wall 130 and the step 120 to enhance the connection between the foamed concrete wall 130 and the existing roadbed.

[0021] In this embodiment, the foamed concrete wall 130 is provided with vent holes and drainage holes. The spacing between drainage holes is set to 1.0-1.5m, and the spacing between drainage holes is set to 0.5-1.0m. The vent holes and drainage holes are used to remove gas and excess water generated during the pouring process, ensuring the density and quality of the foamed concrete wall 130. A steel mesh is installed at intervals inside the foamed concrete wall 130, with a spacing of 150-200mm and a diameter of 6-10mm. The steel mesh effectively improves the crack resistance and integrity of the foamed concrete wall 130, enhancing its stability under complex stress conditions. The foamed concrete wall 130 is provided with concave-convex joints or tongue-and-groove joints, and waterstop strips or rubber waterstops are pre-embedded in these joints. The width of the waterstop strips or rubber waterstops is set to 20-30mm, and the thickness is set to 10-15mm. These waterstops prevent groundwater from seeping into the foamed concrete wall 130 along the construction joints, thus affecting its durability and stability.

[0022] In this embodiment, a crushed stone cushion layer 150 is provided on the top of the mixing pile 110. The crushed stone cushion layer 150 is filled with crushed stone and gravel materials. The thickness of the crushed stone cushion layer 150 is set to 300-500mm. The crushed stone cushion layer 150 can adjust the stress distribution between each mixing pile 110, so that the load can be evenly transferred to the mixing pile 110 and the soft soil, thereby improving stability.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0024] In this embodiment, a method for widening a deep soft soil section of an existing roadbed with high fill is implemented. First, the deep soft soil foundation is pre-treated. Steps 120 are excavated at the edge of the existing roadbed according to specified dimensions. Mixing piles 110 are used to reinforce the soft soil foundation, penetrating the soft soil layer and inserting into the underlying layer (hard soil or rock layer). A crushed stone cushion layer 150 is placed on top of the mixing piles 110. A foamed concrete wall 130 is then constructed above the mixing piles 110. The density of the foamed concrete wall 130 is 300–600 kg / m³. 3 With a strength grade greater than or equal to C30, it effectively meets the requirements for widening narrow sections, reduces pressure on deep soft soil foundations, minimizes uneven settlement between new and old roadbeds, and improves the overall stability of the widening project. The foamed concrete wall 130 is constructed using a layered pouring method, with each layer having a pouring height of 300-500mm. During the pouring process, a dedicated foamed concrete foaming equipment and delivery pump are used to evenly pour the foamed concrete into the formwork, eliminating the need for large machinery and complex formwork support systems. This significantly shortens the construction period and reduces construction costs. Steel pipe piles 140 with a diameter of 700mm are installed between the foamed concrete wall 130 and the step 120 to enhance the connection between the foamed concrete wall 130 and the existing roadbed.
