[0031] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3A pile hole 103 is provided through the shallow reinforcement zone 1 and the transition buffer zone 2. The composite geomembrane 101 is made of high-density polyethylene composite material. The concrete cast-in-place pile 3 penetrates the shallow reinforcement zone 1 and the transition buffer zone 2 and is fixedly connected to the concrete cap 4. The first gravel mixture layer 201 and the second gravel mixture layer 203 are mixtures of natural river sand and pebbles with a fineness modulus between 2.8 and 3.2. The effective combination of the high-density polyethylene composite geomembrane 101 and the crushed stone cushion layer 102 in the shallow reinforcement zone 1 not only prevents surface water...

The transition buffer zone 2 adopts a double-layer gravel mixture design, with an impermeable membrane 202 in the middle, which further isolates fillers of different particle sizes and reduces the migration speed of water in the vertical direction. This not only strengthens the layering of the foundation and improves the overall durability and long-term stability of the foundation, but also indirectly extends the service life of the pipeline.
