Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of civil engineering technology, specifically to an anti-settlement structure for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous growth of transportation demand, the number of highway reconstruction and expansion projects is increasing. Soft soil sections are a common challenge during highway reconstruction and expansion. Soft soil foundations have low bearing capacity and high compressibility, making them prone to uneven settlement under the splicing of new and old roadbeds and vehicle loads. This can lead to road surface cracking, misalignment, and other defects, affecting the normal use and driving safety of the highway, and increasing subsequent maintenance costs. While various anti-settlement structures are currently available for highway reconstruction and expansion projects on soft soil sections, some shortcomings still exist.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN222631973U discloses a settlement prevention structure for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion. This structure includes an expansion connecting anchor bolt section and a soft soil base support section. The anchor bolt is fixedly connected to the hard base side within the expansion pit, and longitudinal connecting strips with transverse support strips welded to their lower ends are connected to the anchor bolt. This facilitates the connection between the expanded section and the original highway section during soft soil expansion. Simultaneously, a support bracket is welded to the transverse support strips, and concrete is poured into the expansion pit with the support brackets. A base mesh is fixedly welded between adjacent transverse support strips, providing support for the poured concrete. Furthermore, the transverse support strips connected to the longitudinal connecting strips are pulled by the longitudinal connecting strips, resulting in better settlement prevention for soft soil sections.
[0004] The existing technologies mentioned above have the following technical problems: while anchors can be fixedly connected in the expanded foundation pit by setting longitudinal connecting strips, the longitudinal connecting strips cannot be spliced in length, which is a design deficiency. At the same time, the design of pouring concrete into the support bracket to enhance the stability of the support bracket is also insufficient. Therefore, we propose a settlement prevention structure for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a settlement prevention structure for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Currently, the existing settlement prevention structures for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion, combined with the actual production and processing, use longitudinal connecting strips to fix the anchors in the expansion pit. However, the longitudinal connecting strips cannot be spliced in length, which is a design deficiency. At the same time, there are also problems such as insufficient design for pouring concrete into the support bracket to enhance the stability of the support bracket.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0032] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides the following technical solution: a settlement prevention structure for soft soil sections of highway reconstruction and expansion, comprising: longitudinal connecting strips 1; a splicing mechanism located above the longitudinal connecting strips 1, allowing splicing strips 11 to be spliced above the longitudinal connecting strips 1, thereby effectively splicing and lengthening the longitudinal connecting strips 1, thus increasing the area of connection between the splicing strips 11 and the hard subgrade; a settlement-improving mechanism located above the transverse support strips 4, which strengthens the internal casting of the transverse support strips 4, thereby enhancing the support area and strength for the soft soil foundation; and a stabilizing mechanism located inside the longitudinal connecting strips 1 and the splicing strips 11, which further enhances the stability of the connection between the longitudinal connecting strips 1 and the hard subgrade.
[0033] Before construction, preparations must be made. In the reconstruction and expansion of soft soil sections of highways, the site must first be leveled and surveyed to determine the location and size of the expansion pit. The necessary materials must be prepared, such as anchors 3, longitudinal connecting strips 1, transverse support strips 4, support brackets 5, foundation mesh 6, and concrete, etc. The quality of the materials must be inspected to ensure that they meet the design requirements.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, fixing holes 2 are set at equal intervals inside the longitudinal connecting strip 1. Anchors 3 can be threaded into the fixing holes 2. In the expanded foundation pit, the anchors 3 are driven into the hard foundation side according to the design position and spacing. Special piling equipment is used to control the driving depth and verticality to ensure that the anchors 3 are firmly fixed in the hard foundation. Then, nuts are installed on the anchors 3. The anchors 3 are made of high-strength metal material, such as Q345 steel, which has good tensile and shear resistance. Its shape is a column with a sharp end, which is easy to drive into the hard foundation. By cooperating with the nuts, the anchors 3 can be firmly fixed in the hard foundation.
[0035] By creating a locking groove 7 inside the upper part of the longitudinal connecting strip 1, the locking groove 7 can engage with the locking block 8 installed below the splicing strip 11. At the same time, a limiting block 9 is set on the upper outer side of the longitudinal connecting strip 1. After the locking groove 7 and the locking block 8 are engaged, the limiting block 9 can be rotated inward to fit against the outer side of the locking block 8. Then, the threaded rod 10 is inserted into the locking block 8 and the limiting block 9 to tighten and limit the position. This can effectively increase the length of the longitudinal connecting strip 1, thereby expanding the area of the longitudinal connecting strip 1 connected to the rigid base side, which can greatly enhance the firmness of the connection.
[0036] Secondly, fixing blocks 12 are installed inside both the longitudinal connecting strip 1 and the splicing strip 11, and fixing frames 13 are welded inside the fixing blocks 12, which can further strengthen the firmness of the connection between the longitudinal connecting strip 1 and the rigid base.
[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a stable support structure is formed by welding a transverse support strip 4 to the lower end of the longitudinal connecting strip 1 vertically. Support brackets 5 can be welded to the upper part of the transverse support strip 4 according to the design spacing. The welding direction of the support brackets 5 must be perpendicular to the transverse support strip 4, and the welding must be firm to prevent loosening during subsequent construction and use. Secondly, a base mesh 6 is welded inside the transverse support strip 4. In addition, all the steel bar intersections of the base mesh 6 must be welded to ensure the integrity and strength of the base mesh 6. The base mesh 6 can support the poured concrete. At the same time, the transverse support strip 4 connected to the longitudinal connecting strip 1 can be pulled by the longitudinal connecting strip 1, which makes the anti-settlement effect of soft soil road sections better.
[0038] Meanwhile, a grouting port 14 is set above the support bracket 5. When the structure is installed, concrete can be poured. The pouring method can be adopted in layers. Vibration equipment is used to fully vibrate the concrete to ensure its density. During the pouring process, pay attention to the deformation of the structure and adjust it in time if there is any abnormality.
[0039] The poured concrete then enters the interior of the support bracket 5 through the grouting port 14. A movable block 15 is set at the top of the interior of the support bracket 5. The lower part of the movable block 15 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the interior of the support bracket 5 by a spring 16. When the movable block 15 is subjected to concrete pressure, it will move downward, thereby compressing the spring 16. As the movable block 15 moves downward, it will contact the support rod 17 that is equidistantly slidable inside the support bracket 5, pushing the support rod 17 outward. A locking block 18 is installed at the bottom of the movable block 15. As the movable block 15 moves downward, the locking block 18 will be firmly engaged with the locking groove 19 opened at the bottom of the interior of the support bracket 5. The compression of the spring 16 allows the concrete to slowly flow into the interior of the support bracket 5 for pouring. The removal of the support rod 17 can greatly enhance the firmness of the concrete pouring, thereby increasing the support area and strength for soft soil foundations.
[0040] After the concrete is poured, it is cured for no less than a certain number of days. Once the concrete reaches the design strength, subsequent highway pavement construction and other procedures can be carried out.
[0041] The working principle of the anti-settlement structure for the soft soil section of the highway reconstruction and expansion is as follows: By making the longitudinal connecting strips 1 splicable, the area of the spliced strips 11 connected to the hard subgrade can be expanded. At the same time, a support bracket 5 is set above the transverse support strips 4. The concrete entering the support bracket 5 can flow smoothly, and the support rods 17 set at equal angles inside the support bracket 5 will move outward, which can greatly enhance the firmness of the concrete pouring, thereby increasing the support area and strength of the soft soil foundation. Secondly, a fixing block 12 is set inside the longitudinal connecting strips 1 and the spliced strips 11. The fixing bracket 13 can be welded inside the fixing block 12, which can further strengthen the firmness of the connection between the longitudinal connecting strips 1 and the hard subgrade.
