Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underground engineering construction technology, specifically to a connection structure between the initial support arch and the pilot tunnel node in the PBA method. Background Technology

[0002] The PBA method, short for "Pile-Beam-Arch Method," is a construction method that organically combines traditional open-cut and tunneling techniques. Its basic principle is to form a support system of beams, columns, and arches underground using pilot tunnels and pile support technology, thereby bearing the loads during construction. Typically, pilot tunnels are excavated first, followed by the arch excavation. The initial support steel frame of the arch and the initial support reinforcement of the pilot tunnel are then connected; the connection strength of this joint is crucial.

[0003] To ensure the connection between the initial support arch steel frame and the guide tunnel steel frame, the common method is to extend the length of the arch steel frame with reinforcing bars to achieve the connection with the guide tunnel steel frame. However, after the reinforcing bars are extended, it is difficult to find an accurate welding position between them and the guide tunnel steel frame, resulting in inaccurate connections and low connection strength. Utility Model Content

During construction, the arch steel frame and the guide tunnel steel frame can be connected quickly and accurately, and the node connection strength is high.

The angle steel connectors are welded to the main reinforcement of the arch steel frame at one end, which connects to the guide tunnel steel frame. The connecting steel plate and the angle steel connectors are fixedly connected by bolts. The anchor bars are welded to the connecting steel plate and extend into the guide tunnel steel frame. One end of the L-shaped steel bar is welded to the main reinforcement of the arch steel frame, and the other end is welded to the main reinforcement of the guide tunnel steel frame.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the length and width of the connecting steel plate are both greater than the spacing of the main reinforcing bars of the guide hole steel frame and the spacing of the main reinforcing bars of the arch-fastening steel frame.

The aforementioned two outer main reinforcing bars refer to the two main reinforcing bars near the connecting ends of the main reinforcing bars 6 of the arch-fastening steel frame.

[0038] It should be noted that the connecting steel plate 1 can be welded to the main reinforcement 5 of the guide tunnel steel frame inside the tunnel, so that the welding position of the connecting steel plate 1 can be adjusted according to the connection position with the main reinforcement 6 of the arch steel frame, so as to better align and connect with the angle steel connector 2 welded on the main reinforcement 6 of the arch steel frame.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this application, a plurality of bolt holes 8 are provided through the connecting steel plate 1, and the bolt holes 8 are distributed on the outer side of the main reinforcing bar 5 of the guide hole steel frame.

[0044] It should be noted that the aforementioned angle steel connector 2 and the main reinforcement 6 of the arch steel frame can be pre-welded outside the hole.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, the angle steel connectors 2 are distributed on the outside of the main reinforcing bars 5 of the guide tunnel steel frame. After construction connection, the outer corners of the aforementioned angle steel connectors 2 are located on the outside of the main reinforcing bars 5 of the guide tunnel steel frame.

These four L-shaped reinforcing bars 4 have a diameter of 25mm and can be pre-welded to the main reinforcing bars 5 of the guide tunnel steel frame outside the tunnel.

[0049] Specifically, four L-shaped steel bars 4 are welded to the two inner main reinforcement bars of the guide tunnel steel frame, that is, two L-shaped steel bars 4 are welded to each of the two inner main reinforcement bars of the guide tunnel steel frame. During construction, after the two angle steel connectors 2 are connected to the connecting steel plate 1 by bolts 7, the four L-shaped steel bars 4 are welded to the four main reinforcement bars 6 of the arch steel frame respectively.
