Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road tunnel waterproofing technology, and more specifically, to a tunnel waterproofing structure. Background Technology
[0002] Waterproofing and drainage are crucial aspects of highway tunnel design and construction, especially for tunnels near reservoirs. The conventional approach is to build the tunnel above the reservoir's flood line, constructing a lining, waterproofing layer, and a network of longitudinal and transverse drainage pipes around the tunnel's cross-section. Placing the tunnel below the flood line significantly increases the difficulty of design, construction, and maintenance, and the excessive water pressure poses a significant safety hazard. If waterproofing measures fail, the tunnel is prone to leakage and water inrush, affecting normal use and structural safety. In extreme cases like dam failure, tunnels below the flood line would be subjected to immense water flow, with potentially catastrophic consequences.
[0003] However, in reservoir areas at high altitudes and in frigid regions, the presence of snow and ice deposits makes normal construction impossible. Therefore, under these challenging geological conditions, some sections of the tunnels are forced to be located below the reservoir's inundation line. In these situations, the groundwater level around the tunnel is higher than the tunnel road and walls, and conventional lining structures cannot withstand the immense water pressure. The rock mass near the tunnel is chronically saturated with water, and ordinary drainage networks cannot allow the groundwater to drain naturally downwards and outwards. Therefore, applying conventional waterproofing and drainage methods below the inundation line is unlikely to yield satisfactory results, and maintenance costs are high, requiring a long-term investment of significant manpower and resources to ensure the tunnel's waterproofing and drainage systems operate normally.

[0030] In the case of large underground water pressure or complex geological conditions, the conventional waterproof and drainage measures in the related art are difficult to effectively prevent underground water from entering the tunnel. For example, for a tunnel whose road surface is located below the submergence line of a reservoir area, or a region with high underground water level and large water pressure, underground water will seep into the tunnel under natural flow, and simple lining waterproof and drainage ditches cannot cope with a large amount of underground water. In order to achieve better tunnel waterproof effect, the density of the drainage pipe network is usually increased to enhance the drainage capacity, but this results in a large amount of underground water being drained out of the tunnel, causing water and soil loss, and in severe cases, it can also cause the surrounding underground water level to drop, causing environmental problems such as ground subsidence; and the drainage pipe may also fail due to silt accumulation, debris blockage and the like. In special high-latitude or high-altitude cold regions, ice and snow accumulation not only hinders tunnel construction, but also can cause the drainage pipe to be frozen and cracked, resulting in the paralysis of the drainage function.
[0031] In view of the problems in the above-mentioned related art, the utility model provides a tunnel waterproof structure.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The utility model embodiment provides a kind of tunnel waterproof structure, for reservoir area over dam tunnel 20, including mountain 1, corridor 2 and water stop curtain 3, the corridor 2 is located inside the mountain 1, the water stop curtain 3 is successively arranged along the length direction of the corridor 2 and is vertically buried in the mountain 1 below the corridor 2;
[0033] Grouting hole 11 is opened in the mountain 1, and the grouting hole 11 is filled with cementing material to form the water stop curtain 3, and the corridor 2 is used for the construction and maintenance of the water stop curtain 3.
[0034] The section of the over dam tunnel 20 pavement higher than the submerged line is the ordinary section 201, and the section of the over dam tunnel 20 pavement lower than the submerged line is the low section 202, and the corridor 2 is arranged on the side of the low section 202 close to the dam 10, and the two ends of the corridor 2 are respectively communicated with the ordinary sections 201 in front of and behind the low section 202.
[0035] The top elevation of the water stop curtain 3 is not lower than the elevation of the reservoir submerged line, and the bottom elevation of the water stop curtain 3 is not higher than the pavement elevation of the low section 202.
[0036] Specifically, the river 30 has seasonal water level fluctuation due to natural reasons, so part of the mountain 1 near the river 30 is below the submerged line of the river 30. When the tunnel 20 pavement elevation is lower than the reservoir submerged line, the corridor 2 parallel to the tunnel 20 is arranged in the mountain 1 on the side of the tunnel 20 close to the dam 10, and the grouting hole is drilled in the mountain 1 below the corridor 2, the grouting hole is grouted through the corridor 2 to form the water stop curtain 3, the bottom plate of the corridor 2 is arranged above the submerged line elevation, and the top end of the water stop curtain 3 is fixed with the corridor 2 by pouring cementing material, the water stop curtain 3 can form a barrier in the mountain 1, block the groundwater on the side of the reservoir from spreading to the low section 202 of the tunnel 20, and also can reinforce the mountain 1, reduce the permeability coefficient of the mountain 1, seal and block water, and improve the ability of rock mass to withstand water pressure, reduce the risk of collapse of the reservoir mountain 1. The groundwater is diverted by the blocking of the water stop curtain 3, compared with the tunnel 20 drainage mode of the related art, the structure changes the drainage to water blocking, which is more conducive to the preservation of the original environment of the mountain 1, reduces soil erosion, and avoids environmental problems such as tunnel 20 settlement caused by lowering of groundwater level. The corridor 2 can provide enough space for construction grouting, later grouting and maintenance of the water stop curtain 3.
[0037] In the embodiment, Figure 2 The "+" filling area in the embodiment indicates the mountain 1, the corridor 2 and the water stop curtain 3 are aligned with the central axis, the centers of the two coincide when viewed from the plan, and it is necessary to ensure that the water stop curtain 3 is continuous and complete in the whole wall along the corridor 2 during construction. The cementing material used in the water stop curtain 3 is cement.

The through holes 211 are coaxially arranged with the grouting holes 11, and during the construction of the waterproof curtain 3, the through holes 211 can also be used as the indication points for drilling the grouting holes 11, which facilitates the drilling machine to drill the grouting holes 11 from the position of the through holes 211. In the later period, the gallery 2 can also be used for grouting quality detection and defect position grouting of the waterproof curtain 3.
[0040] In this embodiment, the curtain holes and the through holes 211 are arranged in a single row along the center line of the construction pavement 21 of the gallery 2. Exemplarily, the spacing between adjacent grouting holes 11 is 1.5 m; the gallery 2 is a circular-arch tunnel 20 structure with a net cross-sectional size of 3*3.5 m of the closed tunnel 23.
[0041] It is worth noting that the waterproof curtain 3 and the grouting hole 11 region are the same, before grouting construction, this region is the grouting hole 11; after pouring the slurry, the slurry in this region solidifies to form the waterproof curtain 3.
[0042] Referring to Figure 2 Optionally, the retaining wall 22 comprises a primary support 221 and a secondary lining 222, the primary support 221 is located outside the secondary lining 222 and is fixed to the mountain 1, and the secondary lining 222 is integrally formed with the construction pavement 21.
[0043] Specifically, since the gallery 2 is located above the submerged line elevation, the retaining wall 22 is made of the primary support 221 and the secondary lining 222 structures commonly used in ordinary tunnels 20, so that additional waterproof and drainage facilities specially used for special sections are not needed, thereby saving the construction cost of the gallery 2. Integrally forming and pouring the secondary lining 222 with the construction pavement 21 can improve the sealing property of the gallery 2 structure and avoid the infiltration of underground water into the closed tunnel 23.

[0046] Specifically, the pre-buried pipe 24 at the mouth of the through hole 211 can facilitate the connection of grouting equipment, the pre-buried pipe 24 is buried to a depth of not less than 2 m to avoid backflow caused by slurry clogging at the pipe mouth, and the top of the pre-buried pipe 24 is higher than the elevation of the construction pavement 21 to facilitate disassembly after grouting is completed.
[0047] Optionally, the grouting hole 11 includes curtain holes and inspection holes, and the inspection holes are uniformly and regularly distributed along the water stop curtain 3.
[0048] Specifically, the inspection holes are arranged in the grouting hole 11 at a certain ratio and are uniformly and regularly distributed along the water stop curtain 3, in the grouting construction process, the curtain holes are grouted first, and whether there is an abnormality is observed. If there is an abnormality such as slurry leakage or large slurry consumption, the nearest inspection hole can be used to timely investigate the abnormality.
[0049] Referring to Figure 3 In this embodiment, only a line segment represents the center line of the grouting hole 11, and for example, the spacing between the center lines of adjacent grouting holes 11 is 150 cm, and the ratio of the curtain holes to the inspection holes is 9:1.
[0050] Optionally, the inspection hole is configured to be grouted in the whole hole.
[0051] Specifically, after the inspection of the abnormal grouting position is completed, grouting is continued in the inspection hole, so as to maintain the continuity and integrity of the water stop curtain 3.
[0052] Referring to Figure 3 Optionally, the grouting hole 11 is divided into multiple types according to the pouring sequence, and the grouting holes 11 of different sequences are regularly and alternately arranged along the path center line of the gallery 2.
[0053] Specifically, the regular and alternate arrangement along the path of the gallery 2 can ensure the uniformity of the grouting quality of the water stop curtain 3.
[0054] In this embodiment, the grouting holes 11 are divided into first-order holes, second-order holes and third-order holes. In the construction process, the first-order holes are poured first, then the second-order holes are poured after all the first-order holes are poured, and so on, and the third-order holes are poured after all the second-order holes are poured.
[0055] Referring to Figure 3 Optionally, the bottom edge of the waterproof curtain 3 is parallel to the road surface of the low-end section 202 of the dam-passing tunnel 20. The dam-passing tunnel 20 is divided into a high-end and a low-end according to the road surface elevation. The grouting holes 11 of the same order are arranged to be poured from the low-end to the high-end in sequence.
[0056] Specifically, Figure 3 The upper parallel to the X-axis solid line segment represents the upper and lower edges of the gallery 2, and the inclined dashed line extending along the X direction represents the edge of the dam-passing tunnel 20. The left side of the figure is the high-end, and the right side is the low-end. The figure uses a line segment parallel to the Z-axis to represent the center line of the grouting hole 11.

The top edge of the waterproof curtain 3 is at the same elevation as the submergence line of the reservoir area, and the bottom edge is parallel to the bottom edge of the tunnel 20, which can effectively prevent water while saving and reducing drilling and grouting costs as much as possible. Pouring the grouting holes 11 of the same order from the low-end to the high-end in sequence can achieve self-compaction of the slurry by gravity, so as to avoid the situation of slurry leakage at the high-end due to the existence of gaps inside the mountain 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, for example, the bottom edge of the waterproof curtain 3 is 10m away from the bottom edge of the dam-passing tunnel 20.
[0058] Referring to Figure 1 Optionally, the horizontal clear distance between the gallery 2 and the dam-passing tunnel 20 is not less than twice the diameter of the dam-passing tunnel 20.
[0059] Specifically, the dam-passing tunnel 20 and the gallery 2 are both arranged inside the same mountain 1. For safety and economic considerations, the horizontal clear distance between the dam-passing tunnel 20 and the gallery 2 is preferably greater than twice the diameter of the dam-passing tunnel 20. If the clear distance between the two parallel mountain tunnels is too small, it will interfere with each other's construction and additionally increase the cost of supporting the mountain 1, which is not conducive to maintaining the stability of the structure of the mountain 1.
[0060] Optionally, the gallery 2 is provided with hydrological monitoring equipment.
[0061] Specifically, after the construction of the waterproof curtain 3 is completed, hydrological monitoring equipment is arranged inside the gallery 2, which can monitor the hydrological conditions around the dam-passing tunnel 20 at all times. When the waterproof curtain 3 leaks or is damaged, the monitoring data can be used to timely discover and eliminate safety hazards, further improving the utilization rate of the gallery 2.
