Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of immersed tunnel technology, and in particular to a platform for immersed tunnel sections and an immersed tunnel section assembly system. Background Technology
[0002] In immersed tunnel construction, immersed tunnel sections are typically prefabricated in a dock or dry dock. In some cases, two sections need to be joined together to form a single unit, facilitating simultaneous transportation and installation of the two sections later. The connection and joining of the sections is a crucial aspect of immersed tunnel quality control. The support platform, located beneath the prefabricated immersed tunnel, is a structural element. Traditional joining platforms are typically concrete slab platforms, which often suffer from insufficient load-bearing capacity and high resistance. In particular, the friction between the platform and the immersed tunnel section during joining operations causes the platform to bear enormous horizontal joining forces. Traditional platforms are unable to withstand these forces, severely impacting the joining accuracy of the immersed tunnel sections and consequently affecting the overall quality and safety of the tunnel project. Utility Model Content

[0052] Example 1
[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a platform for immersed tube sections. The platform can sit on the base 6. The platform includes a drainage and pressure reduction layer 1, a first concrete layer 2, a mixing layer and a drag reduction layer 5 arranged sequentially from bottom to top.

[0055] The first concrete layer 2 is located on the drainage and pressure relief layer 1. It can be formed by pouring plain concrete and mainly serves to level and distribute the upper load.
[0056] The mixed layer is located on the first concrete layer 2, and includes a crushed stone layer 3 and a second concrete layer 4 set above and below. The crushed stone layer 3 can be formed by filling graded crushed stone. The crushed stone layer 3 can play a role in adjusting the uneven settlement of the base 6, as well as drainage and stress diffusion, which is conducive to improving the overall performance of the platform. The second concrete layer 4 is located on the crushed stone layer 3. It can be formed by pouring plain concrete and can play a role in leveling the crushed stone layer 3 and distributing the load.
[0057] A steel structure is embedded in the crushed stone layer 3 and the second concrete layer 4. The steel structure is the core load-bearing structure of the platform. While increasing the vertical load-bearing capacity of the platform, it can also improve the horizontal shear strength of the platform, enabling it to withstand the huge tensile force during the installation of the immersed tunnel sections.
[0058] Preferably, the steel structure includes H-beams 7, with at least two H-beams 7 spaced apart longitudinally; a connector 71 is provided between adjacent H-beams 7, the lower part of the H-beams 7 is located within the crushed stone layer 3, and the upper part of the H-beams 7 is located within the second concrete layer 4; the H-beams 7 are embedded in the crushed stone layer 3 and the second concrete layer 4, which can improve the stability of the H-beams 7 on the one hand, and further improve the shear strength through the interaction between the H-beams 7 and the crushed stone layer 3 / second concrete layer 4 on the other hand.
[0059] The drag-reducing layer 5 is located at the top of the platform and is mainly used to reduce the friction between the platform and the contact surface of the immersed tunnel section, thereby reducing the tension required when the two immersed tunnel sections are pulled together, reducing the construction difficulty, and preventing the immersed tunnel section from bearing excessive tension, thus reducing the probability of the immersed tunnel section being damaged.
[0060] The pedestal for the immersed tunnel section described in this embodiment can promptly drain groundwater from the foundation through the drainage and pressure-reducing layer 1, thereby reducing the buoyancy exerted by groundwater on the pedestal and lowering the probability of slippage of the pedestal relative to the foundation. The first concrete layer 2 can play a role in leveling and stabilizing support, and can evenly distribute the load from the superstructure to the foundation, enhancing the overall stability of the pedestal. The crushed stone layer 3 in the mixed layer can further regulate the uneven settlement of the foundation, and at the same time play a role in drainage and stress diffusion, improving the overall performance of the pedestal structure. By embedding H-beams 7 and connectors 71 in the mixed layer, the vertical and lateral bearing capacity of the pedestal can be greatly improved, enabling the pedestal to stably support the immersed tunnel section and withstand huge tension forces, thereby ensuring the strength and stability of the pedestal during the tensioning process of the ultra-heavy concrete structure. The drag-reducing layer 5 can reduce the friction between the immersed tunnel section and the pedestal during the tensioning process, reduce the power required for tensioning, and avoid damage to the structure due to excessive friction.
[0061] The platform for the immersed tunnel section described in this embodiment has a unique structural design that enables it to support the ultra-heavy concrete structure and withstand the huge tensile forces between the ultra-heavy concrete structures. It can be used for the connection and docking of the immersed tunnel section.

During construction, the lower layer 31 can be laid on the top surface of the first concrete layer 2 first, and then several H-beams 7 and connectors 71 can be placed on the lower layer 31. Finally, the upper layer 32 can be laid on the lower layer 31 so that the lower part of the H-beams 7 is embedded in the crushed stone layer 3.

The H-beams 7 can be parallel to the transverse direction, and several H-beams 7 can be arranged at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction, with the spacing between adjacent H-beams 7 preferably being 1.0m-1.5m.
[0066] Preferably, the vertical dimension of the connector 71 is smaller than the vertical dimension of the web of the H-beam 7. The connector 71 can be a strip structure, so that the end of the connector 71 is fixedly connected to the web of the H-beam 7, thereby connecting adjacent H-beams 7 into one piece. The connector 71 can play the role of transmitting longitudinal force.
[0067] Preferably, the top surface of the upper part 32 is flush with the top surface of the connector 71.
[0068] Preferably, the top surface of the connector 71 is located at 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the height of the H-beam 7.

[0071] The connector 71 can be welded or bolted to the H-beam 7. After the H-beam 7 and connector 71 are arranged on the lower layer 31 and the elevation is adjusted, the upper layer 32 can be laid on the top surface of the lower layer 31 and compacted using a light rolling mill so that the top surface of the compacted upper layer 32 is flush with the top surface of the connector 71. Furthermore, after the crushed stone layer 3, H-beam 7 and connector 71 are set up, concrete can be poured on the upper part of the crushed stone layer 3 and connector 71 and on the side of the H-beam 7 to form the second concrete layer 4.
[0072] In some embodiments, the drainage pressure relief layer 1 includes a perforated blind drain pipe 11 and sandy soil, with the perforated blind drain pipe 11 buried in the sandy soil.
[0073] The perforated blind drain pipe 11 is a tubular structure with holes in its body.

A water collection tank or other structure can be set at the end of the perforated blind drain pipe 11 to centrally treat the discharged water.
[0074] Preferably, at least two perforated blind drain pipes 11 are arranged longitudinally at intervals, and the perforated blind drain pipes 11 are parallel to the transverse direction; the perforated blind drain pipes 11 are parallel to the H-beams 7, and the perforated blind drain pipes 11 can be arranged at a slight inclination to facilitate the flow of groundwater in the perforated blind drain pipes 11.
[0075] Preferably, a strip-shaped recess 61 is provided on the base 6, and the perforated blind drain pipe 11 is located in the recess 61; the recess 61 can further concentrate groundwater and allow the perforated blind drain pipe 11 to be buried at a lower ground level, so as to facilitate the flow of groundwater into the perforated blind drain pipe 11.
[0076] In some embodiments, the drag-reducing layer 5 includes a steel plate 51, which is laid on the second concrete layer 4. The steel plate 51 can play a role in leveling and distributing the load. The top surface of the steel plate 51 is smoother than the concrete surface, which can reduce the resistance when the immersed tube section moves.
[0077] To further reduce the resistance of the top surface of the pedestal, preferably, the top surface of the steel plate 51 is cleaned to remove burrs, rust and oil stains, the unevenness of the plate surface is checked, and a lubricant, such as lubricating oil or grease, is applied to the top surface of the steel plate 51.
[0078] Preferably, adjacent steel plates 51 are welded together, and the weld 52 between adjacent steel plates 51 is located on the top surface of the H-beam 7, and the weld 52 extends along the H-beam 7.
[0079] More preferably, the end of the steel plate 51 is provided with a bevel 53, the bevel 53 can be at an angle of 45°, the two sides of the weld 52 are respectively connected to the bevel 53, and the bottom of the weld 52 is connected to the H-beam 7.
[0080] In this embodiment, weld 52 refers to the welding electrode formed by the cooling of welding flux during the welding operation. Weld 52 is located on the top surface of H-beam 7 and connected to H-beam 7, which can fix the end of steel plate 51 to H-beam 7. This not only reduces the probability of slippage of steel plate 51, but also reduces the warping of the end of steel plate 51, making steel plate 51 flatter. Using bevel welding can increase the welding area. The ends of the two steel plates 51 are spaced apart, allowing the welding flux to penetrate and connect to H-beam 7. After welding, the surface is ground flat. The connection between the steel plate 51 and the edge of H-beam 7 should be made by welding with open plugs at a certain interval along the center of H-beam 7. After welding, the surface is ground flat.
[0081] Example 2
[0082] This embodiment provides a platform for supporting the assembly of immersed tunnel sections. The platform consists of five parts: a drainage and pressure-reducing layer 1, a plain concrete layer, a graded crushed stone layer, a steel structure layer, and a drag-reducing layer 5; as detailed below:
[0083] Part 1: Drainage and pressure relief layer 1. Drainage and pressure relief layer 1 is located at the bottom of the platform and is mainly used for drainage and pressure relief to prevent groundwater from generating buoyancy on the platform.
[0084] Construction method: After excavating the foundation 6, remove surface debris and loose soil, and perform bearing capacity treatment on the foundation 6 to ensure that the compaction degree of the foundation meets the design requirements, generally not less than 90%. After meeting the requirements, install perforated blind drain pipes 11 by trenching at 1.5m intervals. After completion, backfill and level the foundation with sandy soil.
[0085] Part Two: Plain Concrete Layer. In this embodiment, the plain concrete layer is equivalent to the first concrete layer 2 in Embodiment 1. The plain concrete layer is located above the drainage and pressure relief layer 1 and mainly serves to level the foundation and provide stable support. It can evenly distribute the load from the superstructure to the foundation and enhance the overall stability of the platform.
[0086] Construction method: Lay a 10cm thick concrete pad on the drainage and pressure relief layer 1. During the pouring process, use a vibrating device to fully vibrate the concrete to ensure its compactness.
[0087] Part Three: Graded Crushed Stone Layer + Steel Structure Layer. The graded crushed stone layer is located above the plain concrete layer and is mainly used to further adjust the uneven settlement of the foundation. It also plays a role in drainage and stress diffusion, improving the overall performance of the pedestal structure. The steel structure layer is the core load-bearing structure of the pedestal and can withstand huge tensile forces, ensuring the strength and stability of the pedestal during the tensile process of the ultra-heavy concrete structure.
[0088] Production method:
[0089] Step 1: Select hard, well-graded crushed stone as raw material. The maximum particle size of the crushed stone should not exceed 40mm, and the compaction degree should not be less than 95%. Determine the model and specifications of H-beam 7 according to the stress analysis and design requirements of the tensioning platform. For parts that bear large tension forces, H-beam 7 of models such as H400×400×13×21 can be selected.
[0090] Step 2: First, lay a 50mm thick layer of graded crushed stone on the plain concrete layer and compact it with a road roller.
[0091] Step 3: On the first layer of compacted graded crushed stone, a row of H-beams 7 are equidistantly placed along the longitudinal direction of the platform; the H-beams 7 are arranged according to the design spacing, which is generally between 1.0m and 1.5m.
[0092] Step 4: After adjusting the elevation of H-beam 7, use L100 steel to horizontally weld or connect each H-beam 7 securely with bolts. The spacing is generally between 1.5m and 2.0m. The top surface of the L100 steel weld should be at two-thirds of the height of the H-beam 7.
[0093] Step 5: After connecting all the H-beams 7 with the L100 steel, lay two-thirds the thickness of the graded crushed stone on the first layer of graded crushed stone, and compact it with a light rolling device. After compaction and leveling, the height should be basically the same as that of the transverse L100 steel.
[0094] Step 6: Pour concrete blocks on the graded crushed stone layer, making the top surface of the concrete blocks flush with the top surface of the H-beam 7, ensuring the surface flatness. This concrete block is equivalent to the second concrete layer 4 in Example 1.
[0095] Step 7: Lay a steel plate 51 of not less than 18mm on the H-beam 7 and the concrete block. When hoisting and laying the steel plate 51, reliable measures should be taken to prevent permanent deformation of the steel plate. The splice of the steel plate extends along the length of the H-beam 7, and the splice is welded with a bevel and firmly welded to the H-beam 7. All welds are required to be fully penetrated. After welding, the surface is ground smooth. The connection between the steel plate 51 and the edge of the H-beam 7 should be welded along the center of the H-beam 7 using open plugs at certain intervals. After welding, the surface is ground smooth.
[0096] Part 5: Drag Reduction Layer 5, located above the second concrete layer 4, is used to reduce the friction between the immersed tube section and the platform during the pulling process, reduce the power required for pulling, and avoid damage to the structure due to excessive friction.
[0097] Manufacturing method: After the steel plate 51 is laid, its top surface is cleaned to remove burrs, rust and oil stains. The unevenness of the steel plate surface is tested, and the unevenness per linear meter is required to be <5mm. Before the prefabrication of the immersed tube section, a layer of lubricating oil ≥2mm is evenly applied to the surface of the pedestal steel plate before laying the waterproof bottom steel plate of the immersed tube to reduce the friction between the bottom surface of the immersed tube and the pedestal.
[0098] This embodiment addresses the field of immersed tunnel segment pedestal fabrication, particularly for pedestals used in the connection of ultra-heavy concrete structures. Through unique structural design and drag reduction measures, the pedestal described in this embodiment can withstand the enormous tensile forces between ultra-heavy concrete structures, ensuring structural safety during construction. It successfully solves the challenges of load-bearing capacity and tensile resistance in pedestals for connecting ultra-heavy concrete structures. The fabrication method of this embodiment has clear steps, uses common materials for each structural layer, and employs mature construction techniques, making it easy to promote and apply in practical projects. It can effectively improve construction efficiency and shorten the construction cycle. In an actual immersed tunnel project, the fabrication structure and method of this embodiment were used to construct the tensile pedestal. Testing showed that the load-bearing capacity of the pedestal fully met the project requirements. During the tensile process, the tensile resistance was reduced by more than 40% compared to traditional pedestals, significantly reducing the power required for tensile equipment. Simultaneously, it ensured the accuracy of the immersed tunnel segment connection within ±5mm, effectively improving construction quality and efficiency, and verifying the feasibility and superiority of this embodiment.

The platform is located on the base 6, and the submerged tunnel segments are located on the top surface of the platform, that is, on the top surface of the drag-reducing layer 5. The two submerged tunnel segments are pulled together and the pulling direction is parallel to the transverse direction.

The first tube section 8 is 101m long, the second tube section 9 is 4m long, and the weight is about 1200t. The second tube section 9 can be prefabricated on the platform as described above. The end of the first tube section 8 can also be located on the platform as described above. During the docking, the second tube section 9 is pulled towards the first tube section 8 by a pulling device.
[0103] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
