[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in this embodiment, a drainage system for backfill areas in rainy regions is disclosed. This system can be applied to the backfill and dynamic compaction construction process in rainy regions to control and drain rainwater washed down from the mountains during the rainy season and rainwater intruding into the backfill area 2, thereby ensuring the quality of backfilling and dynamic compaction construction in the backfill area 2 and the stability of the soil, and preventing rainwater from eroding the soil and causing soil and water loss.
[0027] The drainage system for the fill area in this rainy region includes a drainage blind ditch 9 and an intercepting ditch 10. The drainage blind ditch 9 is located between the fill area 2 and the original soil body 1, and the intercepting ditch 10 is located on the outer perimeter of the fill area 2. The lower end of the drainage blind ditch 9 is connected to the intercepting ditch 10, which is connected to the municipal drainage system. This system can drain rainwater that intrudes into the fill area 2 and rainwater that washes down from the hillside, preventing rainwater from eroding and intruding into the original soil body 1. After rain, the soil can be quickly drained, achieving the conditions for backfilling and dynamic compaction.
[0028] Specifically, please combine Figure 3 The drainage blind ditch 9 includes a trench, geotextile 3, a water-conducting pipe 4, a gravel filling layer 5, and a gravel cushion layer 6. The trench has a U-shaped cross-section and can be formed by excavating downwards from the surface of the undisturbed soil 1. The geotextile 3 is laid in the trench and adheres to the bottom and walls of the trench; the width of the geotextile 3 is not less than the perimeter of the trench cross-section. The gravel filling layer 5 is placed on and wrapped by the geotextile 3. The water-conducting pipe 4 is installed longitudinally within the gravel filling layer 5, and several permeable holes 7 are provided on the upper part of the pipe wall. The gravel cushion layer 6 is laid on top of the trench.
[0029] When constructing the drainage blind ditch 9, firstly, a trench is excavated downwards on the surface of the original soil 1 to form a pipe trench. Geotextile 3 is laid in the pipe trench to fit the bottom and walls of the trench. Then, some crushed stone is backfilled as a cushion layer for the water pipe 4. The water pipe 4 is placed on the cushion layer, and then the pipe trench is filled with crushed stone. All the crushed stone located around the water pipe 4 in the pipe trench constitutes the crushed stone filling layer 5. The surface of the crushed stone filling layer 5 is covered by geotextile 3 extending to the outside of the trench wall, wrapping the crushed stone in the entire pipe trench. Finally, a crushed stone cushion layer 6 is laid on the geotextile 3 above the pipe trench to form the drainage blind ditch 9.
[0030] The drainage ditch 9 is located at a point where contour lines are dense, which is the rainwater gully area on the mountain surface. It is used to drain rainwater that intrudes into the soil during the rainy season and rainwater that washes down from the mountainside, preventing rainwater from eroding and intruding into the original soil 1. After rain, the soil can be quickly drained, making it possible to backfill and compact the soil.
[0031] As one implementation method, the geotextile 3 is a permeable geotextile, and a geotextile of 400g / ㎡ can be used. This allows rainwater that has penetrated the soil to pass through the geotextile 3 into the drainage ditch 9 and be discharged through the water pipe 4. At the same time, it can also prevent soil particles from entering the drainage ditch 9, causing blockage downstream of the water pipe 4, water and soil loss, and affecting the backfilling and compaction quality of the filling area 2.
[0032] As one implementation method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the water conduit 4 is an HDPE steel-reinforced pipe, and the permeable holes 7 are located between the ribs of the HDPE steel-reinforced pipe. The permeable holes 7 are arranged in a quincunx pattern on the water conduit 4, with a diameter of 10 mm and a spacing of 125 mm. The specific hole diameter and spacing can be calculated and determined based on rainfall and flash flood flow, facilitating rainwater intrusion into the soil to enter the water conduit 4 through the permeable holes 7 and be discharged.
[0033] As one implementation method, the distance between the HDPE steel-reinforced pipe and the bottom of the trench should be no less than 150mm. This serves two purposes: firstly, the crushed stone below the water guide pipe 4 protects it during dynamic compaction; secondly, rainwater that fails to enter the water guide pipe 4 can be buffered within this range, preventing it from completely infiltrating the original soil 1 in a short time. Installing two HDPE steel-reinforced pipes in the trench, compared to installing a single water guide pipe 4, allows for a reduced pipe diameter while still meeting the drainage rate requirements, preventing damage to the pipe caused by backfilling and dynamic compaction. The ring stiffness of the water guide pipe 4 should be no less than SN12.5, ensuring long-term stable use without deformation.
[0034] As an example, the HDPE steel strip-wound reinforced pipe is wrapped with a fine nylon mesh with a mesh size of not less than 80 to further prevent soil particles from entering the water pipe 4 through the permeable holes 7 with rainwater, causing blockage downstream of the water pipe 4, soil erosion, and affecting the backfilling and compaction quality of the filling area 2.
[0035] As an example, the crushed stone filling layer 5 consists of well-graded crushed stone with a particle size of 25-40mm. During the construction of this crushed stone filling layer 5, the crushed stone is manually compacted. The compaction degree of the crushed stone within the same height range as the HDPE steel-reinforced pipe should be no less than 95%. The compaction degree of the crushed stone within a 500mm height range above the HDPE steel-reinforced pipe and extending 1m beyond the pipe on both sides (i.e., within a 2m range above the HDPE steel-reinforced pipe) should be no less than 85%. The compaction degree of the crushed stone in the remaining portion of the trench should be no less than 90%. Under these conditions, the drainage blind ditch 9 has a relatively stable structure and good drainage performance.
[0036] As an example, the thickness of the crushed stone cushion layer 6 is not less than 300mm, the compaction degree is not less than 90%, the width of both sides extending beyond the pipe trench is not less than 500mm, and a cushion layer is set above the drainage blind ditch 9 to protect the drainage blind ditch 9 from damage during the backfilling and dynamic compaction of the soil above it.
[0037] As an example, the intercepting ditch 10 is ring-shaped along the ground surface, surrounding the fill area 2 and connected to the municipal drainage system. It intercepts rainwater flowing down from higher elevations of the hillside, preventing the fill area 2 from being soaked and affecting the backfilling and compaction quality. The intercepting ditch 10 includes a ditch body 11, geotextile 3, and a gravel filling layer 5. The ditch body 11 is a U-shaped channel formed by masonry. During construction, the channel is first excavated downwards, and then the bottom and walls are constructed using masonry of at least M7.5 MU30. The geotextile 3 is laid in the ditch body 11 and adheres to the bottom and walls. The gravel filling layer 5 consists of gravel filled within and wrapped by the geotextile 3, with its top layer forming a sloping surface. The intercepting ditch 10 is connected to the drainage blind ditch 9 via a gravel channel to drain rainwater from the drainage blind ditch 9, ensuring unobstructed drainage.
[0038] As an example, the slopes on both sides of the top layer of the intercepting ditch 10 are provided with a cement mortar protective surface 8 with a thickness of not less than 10 mm and a width of not less than 500 mm. It is made of 1:2 cement mortar and can effectively protect the intercepting ditch 10.
[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
