AI Technical Summary
When constructing foundations in shallow sandy and gravelly areas, the traditional steel sheet pile enclosure method involves many procedures and is costly. Furthermore, the sandy and gravelly strata have poor stability, which can easily lead to slope collapse, affecting the construction progress and economy.
Sandbags were used to form a cofferdam to isolate the water source. A concrete well shaft was used in conjunction with the well cutting edge. The foundation structure was fixed by sinking the well shaft and using a concrete cushion layer. Medium and coarse sand was used to backfill and stabilize the foundation, avoiding the use of sheet piles for enclosure, thus reducing construction complexity and cost.
It enables a dry construction environment in shallow water and gravel areas, reduces construction complexity and cost, ensures the stability of the foundation and the fixation of the basic structure, avoids slope collapse, and improves construction efficiency and economy.

[0012] The technical scheme of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the described embodiments.
[0013] With reference to Figure 1The utility model relates to a kind of open caisson method foundation structure 7 suitable for shallow sand pebble area, including the cofferdam formed by sandbag 1, the ground of cofferdam city is quasi-construction site, concrete shaft 4 is made on quasi-construction site, the lower end of the concrete shaft 4 is provided with well blade foot 5, base pit 3 is excavated in concrete shaft 4 on quasi-construction site, the concrete shaft 4 is sunk into base pit 3 by well blade foot 5, after concrete shaft 4 sinks into design position, concrete cushion 6 is poured at the bottom of concrete shaft 4, foundation structure 7 is poured above the concrete cushion, the gap between foundation structure 7 and the well wall of concrete shaft 4 is backfilled with medium coarse sand 8, in the utility model, first, sandbag 1 is used to cofferdam, river water is isolated, water in cofferdam is removed, to ensure dry construction working surface, well blade foot 5 is provided to facilitate the removal of earthwork in well, concrete cushion can sink by gravity after earthwork in well is removed, reduce the frictional resistance with soil, when concrete shaft 4 reaches design position, prevent the collapse of side slope by concrete shaft 4, and make foundation structure 7 and pebble stratum 2 isolated by constructing concrete cushion 6 in concrete shaft 4, ensure firm foundation, the transverse position of foundation structure 7 can be fixed by medium coarse sand 8 backfilled between concrete shaft 4 and well wall, prevent foundation structure 7 from tilting, so compared with prior art, without using steel sheet pile enclosure, construction is more convenient, and cost is also lower.
[0014] Preferably, the concrete shaft 4 is cast in situ using a formwork support, the width of the concrete shaft 4 is not less than 40 cm, so that the concrete shaft 4 has good compression resistance, the lower opening of the concrete shaft 4 is left with an inclination of 45° as a well blade foot, the interior of the concrete shaft 4 is provided with a reinforcing main reinforcement, the reinforcing main reinforcement of the concrete shaft 4 uses three-level steel with a diameter of not less than 16 mm and a spacing of 15 cm, to ensure that the well wall body of the concrete shaft 4 has high strength and avoids collapse of the concrete shaft 4.
[0015] Preferably, the thickness of the concrete cushion is not less than 30 cm, and the strength is not less than C30, so that the bottom of the foundation structure 7 is firm, and the foundation structure 7 is firm.
[0016] The construction method of the utility model comprises the following steps:
[0017] 1. Shallow cofferdam construction: because the foundation construction area is located in a shallow water area, sandbags are used to cofferdam, river water is isolated, and water in the cofferdam is removed to ensure a dry construction working surface.
[0018] 2. Site leveling: the site is leveled on the construction site, and the foundation bearing capacity of the concrete shaft 4 is not less than 120 Kpa.
[0019] 3. Concrete shaft 4 production: on the leveled site, a concrete square shaft is produced, using the template support method as the formwork for the cast-in-place concrete. The concrete shaft 4 is not less than 40 cm wide, and the lower opening of the concrete shaft 4 is left with a 45° inclined angle, so that after the earthwork in the shaft is removed, the concrete cushion can sink by gravity, reducing the frictional resistance with the soil. The main reinforcement of the concrete shaft 4 uses three-level steel with a diameter not less than 16 mm and a spacing of 15 cm.
[0020] 4. Earthwork excavation in the shaft: after the concrete shaft is produced on the leveled site, the earthwork excavation in the shaft begins. The earthwork excavation uses a small excavator combined with manual excavation. The earthwork excavation is symmetrical left and right, and must not be excavated eccentrically, so as to prevent the concrete shaft from sinking unevenly due to the lateral pressure of the earthwork, causing the concrete shaft to be inclined. The depth of each layer of earthwork excavation is not greater than 50 cm. After each excavation, the concrete shaft 4 is observed for inclination, and the building deformation is observed once.
[0021] 5. Concrete shaft 4 sinking: after the earthwork in the shaft is removed in layers and symmetrically, the cutting edge of the lower opening of the concrete shaft 4 begins to cut the earthwork by relying on the gravity of the concrete shaft 4 itself, forming a slow sinking. In this way, the concrete shaft 4 sinks 50 cm for each 50 cm deep layer of earthwork excavation, until the concrete shaft 4 sinks to the designed position.
[0022] 6. Bottom sealing concrete pouring: after the concrete shaft sinks to the designed position, the earthwork excavation in the shaft is stopped. The earthwork in the shaft is leveled, and the pouring of the bottom concrete cushion is started, so as to prevent the earthwork in the shaft from rising and deforming, causing the concrete shaft 4 to be inclined. The thickness of the concrete cushion is not less than 30 cm, and the strength is not less than C30.
[0023] 7. Foundation structure 7 construction: after the cushion has a certain bearing capacity, the subsequent structure construction in the shaft begins.
[0024] 8. Medium-coarse sand 8 backfilling: after the structure construction is completed, the medium-coarse sand 8 is used to backfill the gap between the structure and the wall of the concrete shaft 4, keeping the foundation stable.
[0025] As above, although the utility model has been shown and expressed with reference to a specific preferred embodiment, it must not be interpreted as a limitation on the utility model itself, and various changes can be made to the form and details thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model defined by the appended claims.
