Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of debris flow prevention and control technology, and in particular to a stepped debris flow retaining dam. Background Technology
[0002] Debris flow prevention and control projects in the Loess Plateau region face new challenges. Especially in areas like Gansu and Shaanxi, the unique properties of loess, particularly after heavy rainfall, make them highly susceptible to large-scale debris flows, causing immense damage to the surrounding environment. Therefore, more innovative exploration is needed to address the challenges of prevention and control projects. Debris flow engineering measures are the most commonly used and effective prevention and control methods, including retaining walls, check dams, drainage channels, aqueducts, and open trenches, among which check dams are the most frequently used engineering measure.
[0003] The disaster has triggered extremely serious debris flow disasters in Longnan, Gansu Province. In these disasters, frequent earthquakes, coupled with concentrated and heavy rainfall, cause large amounts of precipitation in a short period of time to saturate the soil on the hillsides and loose deposits in the valleys, thus triggering debris flows. The debris flows move at high speeds and have extremely strong impact and destructive power.
[0004] Existing debris flow dam technologies cannot effectively reduce some of the energy of debris flows or mitigate the impact of debris flows and large rocks on the dam body.
[0005] Therefore, a stepped debris flow retaining dam is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stepped debris flow retaining dam, which aims to solve or improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: This utility model provides a stepped debris flow retaining dam, comprising:
[0008] Dam foundation;
[0009] The dam body is fixed to the upper surface of the dam foundation, and the backwater side of the dam body is provided with a stepped structure.

[0014] According to the present invention, a stepped debris flow retaining dam is provided, wherein the height of each set of steps in the stepped structure is no more than 5 meters, and the width of each set of steps in the stepped structure is no more than 5 meters.

[0016] According to the present invention, a stepped debris flow retaining dam is provided, wherein the main body of the dam is a concrete dam body.
[0017] According to the present invention, a stepped debris flow retaining dam is provided, wherein the height of the stepped water-retaining strip is 0.3 to 1.8 times the height of each set of steps in the stepped structure.
[0018] According to the present invention, a stepped debris flow retaining dam is provided, wherein the drainage hole is located at 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the height of the stepped structure.

[0037] With this design, this utility model addresses the impact resistance requirements of debris flow retaining dams. Combining the characteristics of debris flow movement, a stepped structure 4 is provided on the backwater surface 8 of the main body 2 of the dam to reduce the flow velocity of debris flow, dissipate some of the energy of debris flow, and buffer the impact force of debris flow and boulders. Two stepped water-retaining strips 3 concentrate the overflowing debris flow under the stepped structure 4, reducing its diffusion and erosion around the dam body, and increasing the service life of the retaining dam.
[0038] In this utility model, the top surface of the stepped water-retaining strip 3 is set as an inclined surface, so that the stepped water-retaining strip 3 has a triangular slope structure, which enhances the stability of the dam body, reduces its construction cost, and significantly improves economic benefits.

[0042] Further optimization of the plan resulted in the main body of the dam being a concrete dam body.
[0043] The scheme was further optimized so that the height of the stepped water-blocking strip 3 is 0.3 to 1.8 times the height of each set of steps in the stepped structure 4.
