[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0039] To better understand the waterproofing system for tunnel construction joints provided by this utility model, we will first introduce its application background. As an important transportation hub connecting different regions, the safety and durability of the tunnel structure are directly related to the normal operation of the entire transportation system.
[0040] Tunnel construction joints are joints formed during the concrete pouring process due to different construction stages or technical requirements. These joints constitute potential weaknesses in the tunnel structure and can easily become channels for groundwater infiltration. Traditionally, waterstops are used to seal construction joints at different locations. As a common waterproofing method, waterstops prevent water from penetrating the construction joints through their elasticity and sealing properties.
[0041] Although the above-mentioned waterproofing methods can meet basic waterproofing needs in most cases, the waterstop may still lose its effectiveness due to displacement or other reasons when facing high-pressure water environments or complex geological conditions, thus leading to leakage problems.
[0042] Therefore, how to further improve the waterproofing performance of construction joints and ensure the safe operation of the transportation system has become an important issue that urgently needs to be addressed.
[0043] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a waterproofing system for tunnel construction joints, which can further improve the waterproofing effect at construction joints and ensure the safe operation of transportation systems.
[0044] The following is combined Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a waterproofing system for tunnel construction joints.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 4A waterproofing system for tunnel construction joints includes a waterstop strip laid on the construction joint. The construction joint includes a longitudinal construction joint, an arch wall circumferential construction joint, and an invert arch circumferential construction joint. The waterstop strip includes a longitudinal waterstop strip 10, an arch wall circumferential waterstop strip 11, and an invert arch circumferential waterstop strip 12. The longitudinal waterstop strip 10 is laid on the longitudinal construction joint; the arch wall circumferential waterstop strip 11 is laid on the arch wall circumferential construction joint; and the invert arch circumferential waterstop strip 12 is laid on the invert arch circumferential construction joint. The arch wall circumferential waterstop strip 11 and the invert arch circumferential waterstop strip 12 are connected to the longitudinal waterstop strip 10 as a whole through joints.
[0046] It should be noted that the tunnel includes the arch wall and the invert. The aforementioned longitudinal construction joint refers to the construction joint extending along the longitudinal direction of the tunnel. The aforementioned circumferential construction joint of the arch wall refers to the construction joint formed within the tunnel arch wall and extending along the arc of the arch wall. The aforementioned circumferential construction joint of the invert refers to the construction joint formed within the tunnel invert and extending along the arc of the invert.
[0047] Through the above technical solution, the longitudinal waterstop 10 is laid on the longitudinal construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel from the longitudinal construction joint. The arch wall circumferential waterstop 11 is laid on the arch wall circumferential construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel from the arch wall circumferential construction joint. The invert arch circumferential waterstop 12 is laid on the invert arch circumferential construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel from the invert arch circumferential construction joint. The joint connects the longitudinal waterstop 10, the arch wall circumferential waterstop 11, and the invert arch circumferential waterstop 12 into a continuous whole, which can effectively reduce potential leakage points and significantly improve the compressive strength and structural stability of each waterstop. The waterstop is not easily displaced or damaged by external forces, which is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of the entire waterproofing system, thereby further improving the waterproofing performance at the construction joint and ensuring the safe operation of the transportation system.
[0048] It is understood that the above description of the tunnel structure is only a brief overview, intended to provide a more intuitive understanding of the placement of each waterstop and the positional relationship between them. Other aspects of the tunnel structure are not described in detail in this embodiment. Furthermore, the dimensions and specifications of each waterstop can be flexibly configured according to actual construction needs, and no specific limitations are imposed in this embodiment.
[0049] In one embodiment of this utility model, the aforementioned joints include a T-shaped joint 20 and a cross-shaped joint 21. Specifically, at the misalignment between the circumferential construction joint of the arch wall and the circumferential construction joint of the inverted arch, the circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall and the circumferential waterstop 12 of the inverted arch are respectively connected to the longitudinal waterstop 10 via the T-shaped joint 20. At corresponding positions of the circumferential construction joint of the arch wall and the circumferential construction joint of the inverted arch, the circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall, the circumferential waterstop 12 of the inverted arch, and the longitudinal waterstop 10 are connected via the cross-shaped joint 21.
[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, the "T"-shaped joint 20 has three overlapping sides, including two first overlapping sides 22 located at both ends of the "T"-shaped joint 20 along the first direction L, and a second overlapping side 23 located at one end of the "T"-shaped joint 20 along the second direction N. The first direction L is perpendicular to the second direction N, and the three overlapping sides are located in the same plane. The longitudinal waterstop 10 on the same longitudinal construction joint is segmented. The two first overlapping sides 22 are used to connect two adjacent segments of the longitudinal waterstop 10 on the same longitudinal construction joint, and the second overlapping side 23 is used to connect the circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall or the circumferential waterstop 12 of the inverted arch. The circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall or the circumferential waterstop 12 of the inverted arch, the longitudinal waterstop 10, and the joint overlap and connect into a whole in the same plane.
[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, the "+" shaped joint 21 has four overlapping sides, including two first overlapping sides 22 located at both ends of the "+" shaped joint 21 along the first direction L, and two second overlapping sides 23 located at both ends of the "+" shaped joint 21 along the second direction N. The first direction L is perpendicular to the second direction N, and the four overlapping sides are located in the same plane. The longitudinal waterstop 10 on the same longitudinal construction joint is segmented. The two first overlapping sides 22 are used to connect two adjacent segments of the longitudinal waterstop 10 on the same longitudinal construction joint, and the two second overlapping sides 23 are used to connect the circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall and the circumferential waterstop 12 of the invert arch, respectively. The circumferential waterstop 11 of the arch wall, the circumferential waterstop 12 of the invert arch, the longitudinal waterstop 10, and the joint overlap and connect into a whole in the same plane.
[0052] In one embodiment of this utility model, the overlapping area of the waterstop and the joint is connected by a hot vulcanization process.
[0053] It should be noted that the rubber hot vulcanization process is a commonly used joining process for rubber products. The specific process parameters and steps can be referred to the existing technology, and will not be repeated in the embodiments of this utility model.
[0054] In one embodiment of this utility model, the overlap width between the waterstop and the joint is greater than or equal to 5 cm, which ensures the connection strength and sealing performance between the waterstop and the joint.
[0055] Depending on different working conditions and design requirements, waterstops can have a variety of different structural forms.
[0056] In one embodiment of this utility model, the waterstop includes a back-adhesive waterstop 13.
[0057] Reference Figure 5The back-adhesive waterstop 13 is installed between the initial support and the secondary lining of the tunnel and laid on the construction joint. The back-adhesive waterstop 13 serves as a waterproof barrier between the initial support and the secondary lining. It mainly includes a first body 130 and multiple first ribs 131. The first body 130 is laid along the length of the construction joint and includes a first surface and a second surface along the thickness direction. The second surface is used to cooperate with the secondary lining to seal the construction joint formed on the secondary lining. The first ribs 131 protrude from the second surface of the first body 130.
[0058] Specifically, after the back-adhesive waterstop 13 is installed, multiple first ribs 131 are embedded in the secondary lining. This not only increases the contact area between the back-adhesive waterstop 13 and the secondary lining, extends the water infiltration path, and improves the sealing effect, but also increases the stability of the connection between the back-adhesive waterstop 13 and the secondary lining, ensuring that the back-adhesive waterstop 13 can be firmly attached to the position of the circumferential construction joint, so that it maintains good waterproof performance.
[0059] In one embodiment of this utility model, the waterstop includes an embedded waterstop 14.
[0060] Reference Figure 6 The embedded waterstop 14 is embedded in the secondary lining and laid on the construction joint. As a waterproof barrier set in the secondary lining, the embedded waterstop 14 mainly includes a second body 140 and multiple second ribs 141. The second body 140 is laid along the length of the construction joint. The second ribs 141 protrude from both sides of the second body 140 along the thickness direction.
[0061] Specifically, after the embedded waterstop 14 is installed, multiple second ribs 141 are embedded with the concrete structure of the secondary lining. This not only increases the contact area between the embedded waterstop 14 and the secondary lining, extends the water infiltration path, and improves the sealing effect, but also increases the stability of the connection between the embedded waterstop 14 and the secondary lining, ensuring that the embedded waterstop 14 can be firmly attached to the position of the circumferential construction joint, so as to maintain good waterproof performance.
[0062] It is understood that waterstops include, but are not limited to, the types listed above. Other types of waterstops can also be applied according to different construction needs, and will not be listed in detail in this embodiment of the utility model.
[0063] It is understood that, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of the different embodiments or examples.
[0064] The tunnel construction joint waterproofing system provided by this utility model embodiment has a longitudinal waterstop 10 laid on the longitudinal construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel. An arch wall circumferential waterstop 11 is laid on the arch wall circumferential construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel. An invert arch circumferential waterstop 12 is laid on the invert arch circumferential construction joint to prevent water from seeping into the tunnel. The joint connects the longitudinal waterstop 10, the arch wall circumferential waterstop 11, and the invert arch circumferential waterstop 12 into a continuous whole, which can effectively reduce potential leakage points and significantly improve the compressive strength and structural stability of each waterstop. The waterstops are not easily displaced or damaged by external forces, which is conducive to improving the stability and reliability of the entire waterproofing system, thereby further improving the waterproofing performance at the construction joint and ensuring the safe operation of the transportation system.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
