Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foundation treatment and pile foundation technology, and in particular to a composite reinforcement structure for shallow solidification of soft soil foundation and pile foundation. Background Technology

[0002] Soft soil foundations are defined as weak soil layers with low strength and high compressibility, often containing some organic matter. Soft soil foundations are a common type of unsuitable foundation in engineering construction. Due to their characteristics of high compressibility, low bearing capacity, and poor permeability, they pose significant challenges to the safety and stability of engineering projects. The problems with soft soil foundations are particularly prominent in coastal areas, near rivers and lakes, and in low-lying inland areas.

[0003] Traditional methods for treating soft soil foundations mainly include replacement, drainage consolidation, and dynamic compaction. Replacement involves excavating a certain depth of soft soil below the foundation and then filling it in layers with hard, high-strength, stable, and erosion-resistant materials (such as sand, gravel, pebbles, plain soil, lime-soil, cinder, and slag). Simultaneously, manual or mechanical methods are used to compact and vibrate each layer to achieve the required density, creating a good artificial foundation. Drainage consolidation involves pre-installing vertical drainage systems (such as plastic drainage strips or bagged sand wells) in the foundation. Under the weight of the building or external preload, the drainage system drains pore water from the foundation, causing consolidation settlement and improving the bearing capacity and stability. Dynamic compaction utilizes the powerful impact of a heavy hammer falling freely from a height to compact the foundation, increasing the soil density and reducing the void ratio, thereby improving the bearing capacity and stability.

[0004] However, these methods have certain limitations in practical applications. The replacement method requires a large amount of earthwork, which not only has a long construction period but also high costs. Although the drainage consolidation method can effectively reduce the water content of the foundation, the drainage process is slow and it is not effective for deep soft soil layers. The dynamic compaction method may have adverse effects on the surrounding environment due to excessive impact force.

[0005] In summary, this technology aims to provide a composite reinforcement structure for shallow solidification and pile foundation of soft soil foundation to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] Implementation examples, by Figure 1-2 The present invention describes a composite reinforcement structure for shallow solidification and pile foundation of soft soil foundation, comprising a shallow solidification structure and a pile reinforcement structure. The shallow solidification structure includes a sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5, a steel slag cushion layer 6, and a shallow solidification layer 7. The pile reinforcement structure includes multiple precast pipe piles 1 and transverse and longitudinal reinforcing grids 2. The shallow solidification layer 7 is laid on the surface of the soft soil foundation to be treated. The shallow solidification layer 7 is formed by improving the soft soil with an industrial solid waste-based solidification agent, with a thickness of 1.5-2.5m, and the solidification agent contains a certain percentage by mass. The precast pipe piles consist of 40-60% carbonated steel slag, 4-6% slag powder, and 34-54% cement. Multiple precast pipe piles 1 are embedded in a shallow curing layer 7 in a quincunx pattern. The tops of the precast pipe piles 1 are connected by a horizontally and vertically reinforced grid 2, which is made of biaxially oriented fiberglass. The precast pipe piles 1 are cement-based composite piles with a diameter of 50-70cm, a spacing 3-5 times the diameter, a grid size of 50mm×50mm, and a tensile strength ≥80kN / m². 2Drainage blind ditches 3 are installed every 20 to 35 meters around and within the shallow solidification layer 7. The drainage blind ditches 3 around the soft soil foundation to be treated and the drainage blind ditches 3 within the area are interconnected to form a drainage network. Multiple water collection wells 4 are installed in the drainage blind ditches 3. The steel slag cushion layer 6 is located above the shallow solidification layer 7, and the sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5 is located above the steel slag cushion layer 6. The thickness of the sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5 is 50-60cm, and the particle size of the crushed stone is no greater than 40mm. The thickness of the steel slag cushion layer 6 is 60-70cm, and the particle size is no greater than 50mm. The bottom of the water collection well 4 extends below the bottom of the drainage blind ditch 3, and the well opening extends above the sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5. A reinforced concrete well pipe is installed inside the water collection well 4. The bottom and sides of the reinforced concrete well pipe are backfilled and fixed with crushed stone filter material. The upper end of the reinforced concrete well pipe extends out of the well hole and is hinged with a well cover for sealing. A water pump is also installed at the bottom of the reinforced concrete well pipe, and the output end of the water pump is connected to a water pipe extending out of the top of the reinforced concrete well pipe.

[0019] Specifically, firstly, a shallow solidification layer 7, formed by modifying the soft soil with an industrial solid waste-based solidifying agent, is laid on the soft soil foundation to be treated. This layer is 2 meters thick, and the solidifying agent is a mixture of 50% carbonated steel slag, 5% slag powder, and 45% cement by weight percentage. Next, multiple precast cement-based composite pipe piles 1, each 60 cm in diameter, are embedded in a quincunx pattern on the shallow solidification layer 7, with a pile spacing of four times the diameter, i.e., 2.4 meters. The pile tops are connected by a horizontally and vertically reinforced grid 2 made of biaxially stretched fiberglass material. The grid mesh size is 50 mm × 50 mm, and the tensile strength reaches 80 kN / m. 2 .

[0020] Drainage blind ditches 3 are installed every 25 meters around and within the shallow solidification layer 7. These ditches are filled with gravel to form effective drainage channels. The drainage blind ditches 3 are interconnected around and within the soft soil foundation to be treated, forming a drainage network. Collection wells 4 are installed at regular intervals within the drainage blind ditches 3. The bottom of the collection well 4 extends below the bottom of the drainage blind ditches 3, and the well opening extends above the subsequently laid sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5. The collection well 4 contains a reinforced concrete well pipe. The bottom and sides of the well pipe are backfilled and fixed with gravel filter material. The upper end of the well pipe extends out of the well opening and is hinged with a well cover for sealing. A water pump is also installed at the bottom of the well pipe to remove accumulated water. The pump output is connected to a water pipe extending out of the top of the well pipe.

[0021] Above the shallow solidification layer 7, a 65 cm thick steel slag cushion layer 6 and a 55 cm thick sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5 are laid sequentially. The particle size of the steel slag cushion layer 6 is no greater than 50 mm, and the particle size of the crushed stone in the sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5 is no greater than 40 mm.

[0022] The reinforcement structure in this embodiment effectively improves the bearing capacity and stability of the soft soil foundation. The shallow solidification layer 7 enhances the overall strength of the foundation. The composite reinforcement structure of precast pipe piles 1 and horizontal and vertical reinforcing grids 2 further improves the foundation's resistance to deformation. The quincunx arrangement of the precast pipe piles 1 creates multi-directional constraints, which can effectively resist lateral deformation of the soil and increase the friction of the pile-soil interface. At the same time, the cement-based material of the shallow solidification layer 7 can fill the gaps between piles and inhibit soil softening caused by groundwater seepage. Finally, the setting of drainage blind ditch 3 and sump well 4 effectively removes water accumulation in the foundation, reducing the impact of water on the stability of the foundation. Combined with the laying of steel slag cushion layer 6 and sand and gravel drainage cushion layer 5, it can ensure the integrity and smoothness of the entire drainage system and further improve the drainage performance and bearing capacity of the foundation.
