Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of bridge pier protection, in particular to a bridge pier protection device for preventing scouring. BACKGROUND

[0002] The water flow structure around a bridge pier includes downward flow in front of the pier, surge wave in front of the pier and vortex behind the pier. The upper flow speed is faster than the flow speed of the river bottom, forming a horseshoe-shaped vortex around the bridge pier. The center of each vortex that rotates rapidly and moves downstream will have a negative pressure, which will suck up the riverbed sediment and carry it downstream, and deposit it downstream of the bridge pier, thereby forming a long sand ridge. At present, the measures to reduce local scouring of the bridge pier mainly include active protection measures and passive protection measures. The active protection measures start from reducing the erosion of the downward flow and the horseshoe vortex, such as expanding the pile foundation, opening slots on the pier, ring-wing type protection ring and sacrificial piles arranged upstream of the pier; the passive protection measures mainly start from improving the erosion resistance of the riverbed, such as laying granular protective materials around the pier foundation to form a protective layer and rock throwing protection and the like.

[0003] In the related art, in order to solve the problem that the downward flow in front of the sacrificial pile erodes the riverbed around the pile, causing local scouring of the pile itself, and even causing the pile to tilt or collapse, the patent with the publication number CN216999884U provides a protection device for reducing local scouring of a bridge pier foundation. The device has a simple structure, is convenient to construct and obtain materials and has a low cost, and can effectively reduce local scouring of the bridge pier foundation. Specifically, the device includes a water-permeable flow-disturbing pile, which is arranged upstream of a bridge pier to be protected. The water-permeable flow-disturbing pile has a hollow structure, is filled with a filler and has a plurality of side seams uniformly formed on the side wall.

[0004] Although the existing technical solution in the above-mentioned patent can greatly reduce the load of water flow on the water-permeable flow-disturbing pile relative to the load of water flow on the traditional solid sacrificial pile by arranging the water-permeable flow-disturbing pile, filling the water-permeable flow-disturbing pile with the filler and effectively reducing the flow speed of the water flow in front of the pier and the local scouring effect of the downward flow on the bridge pier foundation, the existing water-permeable flow-disturbing pile has a limited protection range, cannot weaken the flow speed of the water behind the pile, is prone to form backflow scouring, cannot block small-grained sediment and pebbles and is prone to accumulate and then start scouring again. The single pile body independently bears the force and lacks overall linkage, so that local damage may cause a chain failure.
