[0031] Embodiment 1:
[0032] As shown in Figures 1-3 , this embodiment has one or more tunnels located on the upper part of the bottom of the foundation pit outside, and in specific implementation, the following steps are included:
[0033] 1) Position and construct the underground continuous wall 2.
[0034] 2) Construct the deformed control pile 4 at the predetermined position interval between the tunnel structure and the underground continuous wall 2, the deformed control pile 4 is formed by drilling equipment to form a hole, then lowering the steel reinforcement cage 6 and pouring concrete, one or more self-balancing jacks are arranged in the middle part of the steel reinforcement cage 6 to form the active control device 5, and the upper and lower ends of the self-balancing jack are fixed on the annular steel plate at the end of the steel reinforcement cage 6 through welding.
[0035] 3) Excavate earthwork, construct horizontal supports 3 and basement structure;
[0036] 4) During the excavation of the foundation pit, the unloading of soil causes vertical and lateral displacement of the soil around the tunnel. At this time, the active control device 5 is activated to apply pre-loaded axial force to the deformation control pile 4 to prevent the soil around the tunnel from sinking and causing vertical displacement of the tunnel structure. At the same time, the deformation control can be used as an isolation pile to reduce the horizontal displacement of the soil around the tunnel.
[0037] In addition, one or more rows of deformation control piles 4 are set according to calculations, and the spacing between each row of deformation control piles 4 is determined according to calculations; the pre-applied axial force value of the active control device 5 is dynamically adjusted according to the excavation depth of the foundation pit and the monitoring data of the monitoring equipment 10.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment involves one or more tunnels located at the bottom of the foundation pit. The specific implementation includes the following steps:
[0040] 1) Locate and construct the diaphragm wall 2.
[0041] 2) Deformation control piles 4 are constructed at predetermined intervals on both sides of the tunnel structure or between two tunnels in the pit. The deformation control piles 4 are formed by drilling equipment, lowering a steel cage 6 and pouring concrete. One or more self-balancing jacks are set in the middle of the steel cage 6 to form an active control device 5. The upper and lower ends of the self-balancing jacks are fixed to the annular steel plates at the ends of the steel cage 6 by welding.
[0042] 3) A reaction frame 7 is set above the deformation control pile 4. The reaction frame 7 is composed of several longitudinal 9 and several transverse 8 reaction beams. The two ends of the reaction frame 7 can be fixedly connected to the retaining structure 2, and counterweight components can also be placed on the reaction frame 7. The reaction frame 7 can be assembled from steel or be a cast-in-place concrete structure.
[0043] 4) Excavate earthwork, construct horizontal supports 3 and basement structure.
[0044] 5) During the excavation of the foundation pit, the soil around the tunnel floats and shifts laterally due to the unloading of the soil. At this time, the self-balancing jacks 5 are activated to pre-apply axial force to the lower part of the deformation control piles 4 to prevent the soil around the tunnel from floating and causing vertical displacement of the tunnel structure. At the same time, the deformation control piles can be used as isolation piles to reduce the horizontal displacement of the soil around the tunnel.
[0045] In addition, deformation control piles 4 can be selected to be set on one or both sides of the tunnel or in the middle of the two tunnels according to calculations. One or several rows can be set on each side, and the pile spacing of each row of deformation control piles 4 is determined according to calculations. The pre-loaded axial force value of the self-balancing jack 5 is dynamically adjusted according to the excavation depth of the foundation pit and the monitoring data of the monitoring equipment 10.
[0046] In summary, excavation and construction level support and basement structure are the key links in the whole deformation control pile construction process. Through fine soil excavation operation, the stability and safety of the foundation pit are ensured, and at the same time, the effective setting of the horizontal support can further reinforce the foundation pit structure and prevent the deformation of the foundation pit. The construction of the basement structure is carried out according to the design requirements, to ensure its coordination and functionality with the whole deformation control pile system. After the subsection steel reinforcement cage is lowered, the pre-axial force is applied to the deformation control pile through the active control device, driving the pile body formed by the upper steel reinforcement cage 61 or the lower steel reinforcement cage 62 to move vertically to overcome the vertical displacement of the soil body, so as to prevent the vertical displacement of the soil body around the tunnel from causing the vertical deformation of the tunnel structure. Through the smooth implementation of the above steps, a solid foundation is laid for the subsequent pre-axial force of the deformation control pile and the protection of the tunnel.
