Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of water conservancy projects, in particular to a permanent water stop structure of a connecting joint of an aqueduct. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous development and improvement of water conservancy project construction in China, large aqueducts, which can effectively regulate the balance of water resources between regions, are increasingly applied in actual projects. The aqueduct, also known as a water crossing bridge, is mainly used for conveying channel water flow across rivers, valleys, depressions, roads and the like. The large aqueduct mainly adopts a reinforced concrete structure. In order to prevent cracks or damage of the structure due to temperature changes (thermal expansion and cold contraction), a gap of a certain size is reserved at certain intervals along the length direction of the aqueduct, and a expansion joint device is arranged at the gap to enable the main body structure of the aqueduct to horizontally expand and contract along the length direction. Meanwhile, the expansion joint device of the aqueduct also needs to have a water stop function. If the water stop function is not available, acid and alkali corrosive substances will react with the concrete at the beam end of the expansion joint after the aqueduct leaks, resulting in loose and peeled concrete and corroded structural steel bars.

[0003] The commonly used expansion joint device of the aqueduct in the prior art includes an adhesive type, a buried type and a filler type. The water stop structure at the joint between adjacent spans of the aqueduct is disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN205444119U. The water stop structure is provided with a concrete water stop between the two span trough bodies and an L-shaped groove. A pre-embedded part is pre-embedded on the L-shaped groove, the concrete water stop is welded on the pre-embedded part, and then fine stone concrete is poured in the L-shaped groove.

[0033] As Figures 1-2As shown, the application provides a permanent water stop structure of aqueduct connecting joint, which comprises a first aqueduct 1, a second aqueduct 2, an interface transition layer 3, a thermoplastic buffer layer 4, a water stop belt 5 and an elastic support layer 6; the first aqueduct 1 is provided with a filling groove for filling the second-stage anchor concrete 7 at the end face; the second aqueduct 2 is arranged in a spaced manner with the first aqueduct 1 to form a connecting joint; the interface transition layer 3 is arranged in the connecting joint and the top surface thereof serves as a water-facing surface; the thermoplastic buffer layer 4 is arranged adjacent to the interface transition layer 3 below; the water stop belt 5 is arranged adjacent to the thermoplastic buffer layer 4 below, wherein the two ends of the water stop belt 5 are respectively embedded in the first aqueduct 1 and the second aqueduct 2, and the one end of the water stop belt 5 has a spacing with the groove bottom of the filling groove; the elastic support layer 6 is arranged adjacent to the water stop belt 5 below.

[0034] The permanent water stop structure of aqueduct connecting joint provided by the application can effectively avoid the concrete shrinkage stress concentration area by designing the spacing between the filling groove and the end of the water stop belt 5, reduce the interface peeling risk, reserve the expansion space for the second-stage anchor concrete 7, form the stress gradient transition, and has the rigid impermeability effect of the interface transition layer 3, realizes the flexible buffering through the thermoplastic buffer layer 4, realizes the water stop through the water stop belt 5, and provides the elastic compensation through the elastic support layer 6, so that the four-layer composite structure forms the modulus gradient design to realize the stress step-by-step dissipation, and the displacement adaptability is improved; meanwhile, the two ends of the water stop belt 5 in the application are directly embedded in the first aqueduct 1 and the second aqueduct 2, which is convenient for construction and can ensure the stability of the water stop belt 5, and can simplify the construction process.

[0035] In the application, the end face of the first aqueduct 1 and the second aqueduct 2 refers to the end face of one end in the length direction of the first aqueduct 1 or the length direction of the second aqueduct 2.

[0036] In the application, the filling groove is opened from the end face of the first aqueduct 1, that is, the filling groove is communicated with the connecting joint, and the filling groove penetrates the first aqueduct 1 upward to realize the pouring of concrete.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, the water stop belt 5 is constructed as a red copper water stop sheet with a U-shaped structure in the middle.

[0038] In the application, the red copper material has excellent corrosion resistance and ductility, and cooperates with the U-shaped structure to adapt to multidirectional displacement deformation, maintains sealing integrity when bearing water flow impact and temperature change, the geometric design of the U-shaped structure increases the deformation absorption space, the structure strength is strengthened through cold working, is combined with the concrete stably, significantly reduces the leakage risk, and realizes long-term reliable waterproof effect.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, the two ends of the water stop belt 5 are constructed as a bending structure.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, after the waterstop 5 is embedded in the first aqueduct 1 and the second aqueduct 2, the bending structure at both ends of the waterstop 5 can improve the anchoring effect, thereby improving the stability of the waterstop 5 and ensuring that the waterstop 5 has a long-term effective waterproof function.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the bending directions of the waterstop 5 at both ends are the same, for example, in the working state, both ends of the waterstop 5 are bent upward.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, the symmetrical bending structure enhances the tightness of the interface between the waterstop 5 and the concrete, forms a continuous anti-seepage barrier, and effectively blocks potential water seepage paths; at the same time, the same bending direction makes the stress distribution more balanced, can adapt to multi-directional displacement deformation of the joint synchronously, and reduces the risk of material distortion caused by the difference between the double-side deformations. The design also simplifies the construction positioning process, ensures the consistency of the anchoring force at both ends, improves the structure's anti-pulling-off ability, and strengthens the overall deformation coordination, thereby maintaining stable waterproof performance under complex working conditions.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, the elastic support layer 6 is attached to the outer arc surface of the U-shaped structure of the waterstop 5.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the elastic material forms a cooperative deformation mechanism by closely attaching to the U-shaped curved surface, which can not only constrain the excessive deformation of the waterstop 5 through the reverse supporting force to maintain the geometric stability of the U-shaped structure, but also uniformly transmit external loads to the support layer, thereby significantly reducing the risk of local stress concentration of the waterstop 5. The design also enhances the self-resetting ability of the waterstop 5 through the elastic energy storage effect, so that the waterstop 5 can recover to the sealed state more quickly after the joint displacement. In addition, the physical limiting function of the support layer can prevent the U-shaped structure from accidentally collapsing during construction, improve the installation reliability, and ultimately achieve more durable waterproof effect under dynamic load.

[0045] In some optional embodiments, the bottom of the filling groove is a wedge surface structure, wherein the side of the bottom of the filling groove away from the connecting joint is higher than the side close to the connecting joint.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, the filling groove adopts a wedge-shaped bottom design, and the structural features thereof optimize the distribution of the filling material through the gravity guiding effect. The inclined bottom surface can naturally guide the anchoring concrete to flow to the joint side, forming a high-density filling band in the near-joint area, and effectively eliminating the end cavity defect that is prone to occur in traditional flat-bottom grooves. The wedge-shaped structure produces a gradual compaction effect when the joint is displaced, and continuously pushes the material to the joint interface through the inclined surface sliding, thereby strengthening the dynamic sealing effect. The design can provide a visual filling termination line for construction, ensure that the material usage and the joint shape are accurately matched, and realize the dual improvement of structural reliability and construction economy.

[0047] In some optional embodiments, the interface transition layer 3 is configured as a two-component polysulfide sealant layer.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, the interface transition layer 3 adopts a two-component polysulfide sealant layer. The material realizes controllable curing through accurate proportioning of A / B components, forms a flexible interface with high bonding strength and elastic modulus, can form a chemical anchoring effect with heterogeneous substrates such as concrete and metal, and can buffer structural deformation stress through flexible molecular chain hinge. The sulfur end group structure endows excellent medium penetration resistance, can block water vapor migration channels and resist acid and alkali corrosion, and the three-dimensional network structure formed after curing can maintain elastic memory function within a certain temperature range, can adapt to a certain degree of expansion and contraction of the joint without debonding, and is suitable for application occasions of aqueduct connecting joints. In addition, the two-component system realizes self-leveling filling through viscosity control during construction, effectively fills micro defects in the interface, and constructs a continuous and dense waterproof transition zone.

[0049] In some optional embodiments, the thermoplastic buffer layer 4 is configured as a polyethylene flashing board.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, the polyethylene board with closed pores absorbs joint displacement energy through elastic compression, effectively disperses shear stress generated by thermal expansion and cold contraction of concrete, provides stable backing support for the sealant, prevents tearing of the sealant caused by three-sided bonding, and can block capillary water infiltration paths. During construction, it can be cut according to the modulus of the joint width, and its self-lubricating surface can also reduce the risk of sealant interface peeling, forming a permanent stress buffer isolation zone.

[0051] In some optional embodiments, the elastic support layer 6 is configured as a closed-cell foam board.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the elastic support layer 6 adopts a closed-cell foam board, and the independently closed cell units form an elastic matrix, which can absorb dynamic load energy and realize recoverable deformation, effectively relieving stress concentration caused by structural displacement. It provides compressive strength while providing a uniform support interface for the upper sealing system, preventing interface peeling caused by stress transmission. During construction, a continuous support surface can be constructed by hot melt welding, and its honeycomb energy dissipation structure can also block the transmission of sound waves and heat flow, forming a multifunctional interface layer with mechanical buffering and physical protection.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 the connecting joint includes a first section 8 and a second section 9 arranged in the center from top to bottom, wherein the width of the first section 8 is greater than the width of the second section 9; the thermoplastic buffer layer 4 is located in the first section 8, and the elastic support layer 6 is located in the second section 9.

[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, the connecting joint adopts a sectional structure design, and the first section 8 (wide area) and the second section 9 (narrow area) arranged in the center from top to bottom constitute a differentiated functional layer. The thermoplastic buffer layer 4 is arranged in the wide first section 8, and the large width allowance of the thermoplastic buffer layer 4 allows the material to flow plastically to a certain extent, and dissipate kinetic energy impact through viscoelastic hysteresis effect; the elastic support layer 6 of the narrow second section 9 is constructed by a closed-cell foam board to build a stable base and form a gradient support system. The two-section structure realizes stress step attenuation through modulus matching, and the wide flexible layer absorbs dynamic deformation first, and then the narrow rigid layer can inhibit residual displacement from being conducted to the main structure.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the centering arrangement refers to that the width direction midpoint of the first section 8 coincides with the width direction midpoint of the second section 9.
