Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of construction technology of building and municipal waterproofing structure, specifically relating to a slope anti-seepage and anti-collapse structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern urban landscape construction, artificial lakes, as an important component, not only beautify the environment and regulate the local climate, but also play a crucial role in urban flood control and water resource utilization. However, the problem of lake water infiltration has always been a difficult challenge for the engineering community after the construction of artificial lakes. Improper handling can lead to a series of adverse consequences, such as water loss, rising groundwater levels in the surrounding area, and geological disasters. Therefore, effective seepage prevention treatment of the lake bottom and banks has become a core aspect of artificial lake construction.

[0003] Currently, conventional methods for preventing seepage in artificial lakes employ a composite structure: compacted subsoil + layered backfill with a certain thickness of compacted clay + GCL bentonite waterproofing blanket + HDPE geomembrane + non-woven fabric + a certain thickness of backfill soil. In areas with gentle slopes at the lake bottom and along the banks, this structure exhibits good seepage prevention performance and stability. However, when applied to areas with steeper slopes or subjected to water erosion, this conventional seepage prevention structure reveals significant shortcomings. While the HDPE geomembrane boasts excellent waterproofing performance, its smooth surface lacks effective anchoring connections between the non-woven fabric and the HDPE geomembrane, and between the non-woven fabric and the backfill soil. On steeper slopes, gravity can cause the non-woven fabric and backfill soil to slide downwards, and water erosion further exacerbates this instability. Once this occurs, slope collapse can easily occur. Slope collapse directly damages the non-woven fabric, exposing the HDPE geomembrane. Once the HDPE geomembrane is exposed, it is not only susceptible to damage from external physical factors, such as scratches from sharp objects, but also ages rapidly under the long-term effects of the natural environment, thus losing its seepage prevention function and ultimately causing lake water to seep into the water. Repairing these problems requires a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, resulting in high maintenance costs. Furthermore, during the repair process, the artificial lake may need to be temporarily shut down, causing considerable impact on the surrounding landscape and functionality.

[0004] In summary, existing artificial lake seepage prevention technologies have many shortcomings when dealing with complex working conditions. It is necessary to improve these technologies and take effective measures to strengthen the connection between non-woven fabric and HDPE geomembrane, and between non-woven fabric and backfill soil, so as to make them more reliable, efficient and adaptable, in order to meet the growing demand for artificial lake construction and ensure the long-term stable operation of artificial lakes and the safety of the surrounding environment.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] See attached Figures 1-3A slope protection and collapse prevention structure includes an impermeable clay layer 1, a GCL bentonite waterproof blanket 2, an HDPE geomembrane 3, a non-woven fabric 4, and a backfill soil layer 5. The impermeable clay layer 1, GCL bentonite waterproof blanket 2, HDPE geomembrane 3, and non-woven fabric 4 are laid sequentially from bottom to top on the slope base layer 9. The compacted soil and layered backfill clay can initially block the infiltration path of lake water. The dense colloid formed after the GCL bentonite waterproof blanket 2 expands upon contact with water further enhances the impermeability. The HDPE geomembrane, with its excellent waterproof performance… As a key barrier against seepage, the non-woven fabric 4 protects the HDPE geomembrane and evenly distributes stress. After the non-woven fabric 4 is laid, anchoring components are installed on it to secure it to the HDPE geomembrane 3. Following the installation of the anchoring components, a backfill layer 5 is laid, typically greater than 30cm thick. This backfill provides a stable support structure for the entire seepage prevention system. The anchoring components also enhance the connection between the non-woven fabric 4 and the backfill. This utility model's slope protection and anti-collapse structure solves the problem of easy slippage at the contact surface between the non-woven fabric 4 and the HDPE geomembrane 3, making the slope protection and anti-collapse structure more stable, improving the anti-slip and anti-collapse capabilities of slopes or areas subjected to water erosion, and ensuring the long-term stability of the slope structure.

[0025] Specifically, the anchoring components include geocells 6 and anchors 7. Geocells 6 are a three-dimensional mesh structure formed by high-strength welding of reinforced high-density polyethylene material, typically using ultrasonic needle welding. Geocells 6 are flexible, collapsible for transport, and can be stretched into a mesh during construction. They can be filled with loose materials such as soil, gravel, and concrete to form a structure with strong lateral confinement and high rigidity. The material is lightweight, wear-resistant, chemically stable, resistant to photo-oxidative aging, and acid and alkali resistant, making it suitable for various soil conditions, including deserts. It provides high lateral confinement and anti-slip properties, prevents deformation, and effectively enhances the bearing capacity of the roadbed and distributes loads. Changing the height, welding spacing, and other geometric dimensions of geocells 6 can meet different engineering needs. They are flexible, have a small transport volume, are easy to connect, and allow for fast construction. In this invention, the geocell 6 has a grid size of 20cm×20cm~50cm×50cm, is set on the nonwoven fabric 4, and is fixed to the HDPE geomembrane 3 by the anchor 7 passing through the nonwoven fabric 4.

[0026] Specifically, the anchor 7 includes an anchor plate 71, an anchor ring 72, and an anchor nail 73, all made of plastic. The anchor plate 71 has a diameter of 10-15 cm and a thickness of 3-5 mm. After uniformly coating the back of the anchor plate 71 with epoxy resin adhesive, it is adhered to the HDPE geomembrane 3. This avoids damaging the HDPE geomembrane 3, ensuring its anti-seepage function. An anchor ring 72 is fixedly installed on the geocell 6. The anchor plate 71 and anchor ring 72 have openings corresponding to the size of the anchor nail 73. Finally, the anchor nail 73 passes through the anchor ring 72 and the non-woven fabric 4 in sequence and is inserted into the anchor plate 71, connecting and fixing the anchor ring 72 and the anchor plate 71. This invention strengthens the connection between the non-woven fabric 4 and the HDPE geomembrane 3 without damaging the HDPE geomembrane 3, solving the problem of easy slippage at the contact surface between the non-woven fabric 4 and the HDPE geomembrane 3.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Construction method and steps for this utility model of slope anti-seepage and anti-collapse structure:

[0029] Step 1: Leveling and compacting the slope base layer. Before construction, level and compact the slope base layer 9 to ensure that there are no obvious undulations and that the compaction standards meet the requirements.

[0030] Step 2: Backfill with impermeable clay layer. After leveling and compacting the slope base layer 9, backfill with impermeable clay layer 1, generally 30cm thick, in one go. Then compact it with a road roller. After compaction, check the flatness and compaction degree to ensure that there are no obvious protrusions on the surface and that the compaction degree meets the design requirements.

[0031] Step 3: Excavate the anchoring trench. Excavate anchoring trench 8 at the top of the slope, and its excavation depth and width should meet the design requirements.

[0032] Step 4: Lay the GCL bentonite waterproofing blanket. After the anchoring trench 8 is excavated, lay the GCL bentonite waterproofing blanket 2. The top of the waterproofing blanket needs to extend into the anchoring trench 8 and be anchored with steel nails. The GCL bentonite waterproofing blanket 2 should be laid flat, with a certain overlap width between adjacent waterproofing blankets. Within the overlap width, evenly spread a layer of GCL bentonite on the lower layer of GCL bentonite waterproofing blanket 2 before covering it with the upper layer of waterproofing blanket. The overlap seams between four adjacent GCL bentonite waterproofing blankets 2 should not form a cross-shaped continuous seam.

[0033] Step 5: Laying the HDPE geomembrane. After the waterproofing blanket is completed, the HDPE geomembrane 3 should be laid as soon as possible to prevent it from being soaked by rainwater. The HDPE geomembrane 3 is generally laid manually from the top of the bank downwards. Before laying, plan the single-laying range and area to avoid too many welds or excessive welding volume. The top of the HDPE geomembrane 3 needs to extend into the anchoring trench 8 and be anchored with steel nails. For the overlap of adjacent HDPE geomembrane 3, reserve a weld overlap width + 5-10cm of redundancy. Welding of the HDPE geomembrane 3 is performed in one pass using a geomembrane welding machine, according to design requirements. The welding preheating temperature and welding speed depend on the specific welding machine's technical requirements. The welds between four adjacent HDPE geomembrane 3 pieces should not form a cross-shaped continuous seam. After welding, check the weld quality; any defects must be addressed promptly. After each HDPE geomembrane 3 laying is completed, check for any damage. Repair any damaged areas using HDPE geomembrane 3 blocks.

[0034] Step 4: Laying the non-woven fabric. After the HDPE geomembrane 3 is laid, lay the non-woven fabric 4. The top of the non-woven fabric 4 needs to extend into the anchoring trench 8 and be anchored with steel nails. After the non-woven fabric 4 is anchored, backfill the anchoring trench 8 with qualified soil and compact it. Overlap the adjacent non-woven fabrics 4 with an overlap width of about 10cm.

[0035] Step 5: Install geocells. After the non-woven fabric 4 is laid, install the geocells 6. Before installing geocells 6, first lay them out from the top of the bank to the bottom, and temporarily fix them after they are fully extended. Make small and precise holes in the non-woven fabric 4 corresponding to the anchor points of geocells 6. Apply epoxy resin adhesive evenly to the back of the plastic anchor plate 71 and then stick it to the HDPE geomembrane 3. After the adhesive has cured, use plastic anchor nails 73 to connect and fix the anchor rings 72 of geocells 6 to the anchor plate 71. The anchoring connection should first anchor the top row of anchor points, then anchor the other anchor points at intervals, and finally anchor the remaining anchor points to avoid the failure of temporary anchoring measures and deformation and displacement of the geocell 6 window panes.

[0036] Step 6: Laying the backfill layer. After the geocell 6 is anchored, the backfill layer 5 is constructed. Special treatment is generally required for steeper slopes. For backfill layer 5, a small excavator is used at the top or bottom of the slope to fill the geocells with backfill soil first, then the remaining thickness is added. The final backfill layer should be level to avoid excessive slope undulation after compaction. Backfill compaction is performed using a small excavator and a vibratory plate compactor. During compaction, the plate compactor should first be used at the bottom of the slope, moving horizontally from one side to the other, until the compaction meets the requirements, then proceeding layer by layer from the bottom to the top of the slope.

[0037] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
