Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of deep foundation pit technology, specifically a structure for treating confined water seepage in deep foundation pits. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, surface space is becoming increasingly scarce, making underground space development an inevitable trend, with foundation pits becoming larger and deeper. Therefore, deep foundation pit construction faces more complex problems, one of which is piping. Piping frequently occurs when excavating into sandy or silty soil layers rich in confined water. The water flow carries away soil particles, reducing the soil strength and threatening the safety of the foundation pit and surrounding buildings. Therefore, taking timely and effective measures when piping occurs is crucial.

[0003] Currently, common methods for dealing with piping include injecting cement grout around the piping point. After the grout solidifies, the formation strength increases and permeability decreases, effectively sealing the piping. Alternatively, a filter well can be constructed, with boulders or gravel placed at the piping point to reduce the water pressure. Both of these methods are effective for piping under low water pressure. However, when the formation is rich in confined water and the flow is rapid and large, injecting cement grout outside the well will result in it being washed away by the water flow, failing to stop the flow. The second method relies on experience, is prone to recurrence, requires on-site monitoring, and poses safety hazards.

[0004] While existing technologies may already offer solutions to the aforementioned problems, this case aims to provide an alternative or replacement technical solution. Utility Model Content

[0030] It should be noted that filter material is filled at the location of piping to achieve initial water stoppage. The filter material can be a cotton quilt. A steel casing is inserted into the formation, with the filter material inside the steel casing to isolate the pressurized water and prevent the piping from spreading further. During the installation of the steel casing, the center of the steel casing should be aligned with the location of the piping, and real-time monitoring should be conducted to ensure that the steel casing is vertical.

[0038] It should be noted that the first double grout is injected into the steel casing through the grouting pipe inside the pit and under the cotton quilt. Grouting can be stopped only when there is no obvious water flow. The steel casing is raised according to the site conditions to make it 1m above the pressurized water level to balance the water pressure. The second double grout is injected into multiple grouting pipes outside the pit.

[0039] As a preferred and further option, the steel casing is a hollow structure, with interfaces at both ends, and the depth of the steel casing inserted into the formation is not less than 3m.

[0040] It should be noted that the structure and method of splicing two steel pipes using an interface is existing technology and is not an innovation of this technical solution. It will not be elaborated here. You can refer to a socket structure for steel pipe connection with publication number CN103953807B, which can extend the steel casing by connecting the interfaces of two steel casings.

[0041] As a preferred and further option, the height of the steel casing is 2.5m, the diameter of the steel casing is 1.5m larger than the diameter of the piping point, and the wall thickness of the steel casing is 5mm.

[0042] Preferably, the crushed stone cushion layer has a crushed stone particle size of 40-150mm and a thickness of not less than 0.5m;

[0043] As a preferred and further option, the height of the soil bag shall not be less than 1m;

[0044] As a preferred and further option, the spacing between the multiple external grouting pipes and the steel casing is 1.5m;

[0045] As a preferred and further option, the first dual slurry is a phosphoric acid and water glass solution, wherein slurry A is a 15% phosphoric acid solution and slurry B is a water glass solution with a Baume degree of 20, and slurry A and slurry B are mixed in a 1:1 ratio.

[0046] As a preferred and further option, the first grout is a cement and water glass solution. Grout A is made of 42.5 grade ordinary Portland cement with a water-cement ratio of 1:1; Grout B is a water glass solution with a Baume degree of 30. Grout A and grout B are mixed in a 1:1 ratio.

[0047] Working principle and method:

[0048] Step 1, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, after piping is discovered, the location of the piping is immediately determined, and cotton quilts are filled into the area where the piping occurs as a filter material to achieve the purpose of initial water stoppage.

[0049] Step two, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a steel casing is driven into the location where piping occurs. During the driving process, the center of the steel casing should be aligned with the location of the piping. At the same time, real-time monitoring should be conducted to ensure that the steel casing is vertical. The depth of the steel casing should be no less than 3m, the height of the steel casing should be 2.5m, the diameter should be 1.5m larger than the diameter of the piping point, and the wall thickness should be 5mm.

[0050] Step 3, as shown in the attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, a crushed stone cushion layer is laid and compacted within a 2.5m radius of the outer diameter of the steel casing. Soil bags are piled on top of the crushed stone cushion layer. The crushed stone has a particle size of 40-150mm, uniform gradation, and a thickness of not less than 0.5m. The pile height of the soil bags is not less than 1m.

[0051] Step 4: Inject phosphoric acid and water glass grout into the piping point inside the steel casing through the grouting pipe inside the pit until there is no obvious water inflow. The grout materials are phosphoric acid and water glass solutions. A 15% phosphoric acid solution is used as grout A, and a 20 Baume water glass solution is used as grout B. Grout A and grout B are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Then, raise the steel casing until it is 1m above the pressurized water level to balance the water pressure.

[0052] Step 5: Multiple grouting holes are laid out circumferentially around the steel casing for inserting multiple external grouting pipes. These external grouting pipes are positioned 1.5m radially from the steel casing and evenly arranged in a quincunx pattern. A ZLG-1200 drilling rig is used to drill holes with a diameter of 80mm and a vertical accuracy of less than 1%. The external grouting material for the steel casing consists of cement and water glass solution. 42.5 grade ordinary Portland cement is used, with a water-cement ratio of 1:1, to form grout A. A water glass solution with a Baume degree of 30 is used as grout B. Grout A and grout B are mixed in a 1:1 ratio.

[0053] Step 6: Grout in 3 sections every 1 meter from the bottom of the grouting hole upwards, with each section being 33cm high. After each section is completed, pull it up 33cm and grout again until it reaches a height of 2m below the ground. The grouting pressure is 0.2-1.2MPa, adjusted according to the actual grouting effect on site. The grouting pressure in a single hole is increased to the final pressure and grouting is continued for more than 10 minutes to complete the grouting.

[0054] Among them, a three-way valve is set at the grout outlet of the grouting machine, and grout A and grout B are injected through different grouting pipes, and finally mixed and injected into the formation in the three-way valve.

[0055] Step 7: After the grouting volume and pressure reach the design values, the external grouting pipe and the internal grouting pipe need to be lifted quickly, evenly, and at certain intervals. Then, the external grouting pipe and the internal grouting pipe should be cleaned.

[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
