Abstract
Description
A highway subgrade settlement control structure Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of roadbed engineering technology, and in particular to a roadbed settlement control structure. Background Technology
[0002] Roadbed settlement is a common problem in highway engineering, especially in areas with soft soil or high groundwater levels. With increasing traffic volume and frequent heavy vehicle traffic, roadbed settlement is becoming increasingly serious, leading to uneven road surfaces, driving safety hazards, and increased maintenance costs.
[0003] Traditional roadbed settlement control techniques include reinforcing the foundation with deep mixing piles or high-pressure jet grouting piles. This method can effectively improve the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation, but it has a long construction period, high cost, and significant environmental impact. Another method is to set up a drainage system to reduce settlement by lowering the groundwater level. This method is suitable for areas with high groundwater levels, but the maintenance and management of current drainage systems are relatively complex, and the drainage effect is limited, resulting in water accumulation inside the roadbed that cannot be drained in time, exacerbating the roadbed settlement problem.
[0004] Therefore, this application provides a highway subgrade settlement control structure. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a roadbed settlement control structure that overcomes these deficiencies. The aim is to solve the problems of traditional roadbed settlement control techniques, which involve strengthening the foundation using methods such as deep mixing piles or high-pressure jet grouting piles. While these methods can effectively improve the bearing capacity and stability of the foundation, they are time-consuming, costly, and have a significant environmental impact. Another approach is to install a drainage system to reduce settlement by lowering the groundwater level. This method is suitable for areas with high groundwater levels, but current drainage systems are complex to maintain and manage, and their drainage effect is limited, leading to water accumulation inside the roadbed that cannot be drained in a timely manner, thus exacerbating the roadbed settlement problem.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a roadbed settlement control structure, comprising a roadbed base, the roadbed base including a filler bottom layer, a filler middle layer laid at the top of the filler bottom layer, a filler surface layer laid at the top of the filler middle layer, a drainage mechanism provided inside the filler middle layer, the drainage mechanism including several sets of transverse drainage pipes, the transverse drainage pipes being fixedly installed at the top of the filler bottom layer, the top of the transverse drainage pipes being connected to several sets of longitudinal drainage pipes, the several sets of longitudinal drainage pipes being fixedly installed inside the filler middle layer, the filler surface layer being provided inside several sets of drainage layers, the several sets of drainage layers corresponding one-to-one with the longitudinal drainage pipes, several sets of prestressed anchor rods installed inside the roadbed base, and a grid mesh laid at the top of the filler surface layer.

They can also withstand water erosion for a long time without easily breaking. The prestressed anchor rods are made of high-strength steel, which can withstand large loads and deformations, providing strong support for the road base. The grid is made of polyethylene, which has good tensile strength and wear resistance, and is not easily broken, thus enhancing the overall strength and stability of the road base.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom end of the prestressed anchor rod is fixedly connected with several sets of barbs.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the barbs enhance the connection between the prestressed anchor and the installation surface below the roadbed, thereby improving the stability of the anchor during long-term use.

The transverse drainage pipes 201 and the longitudinal drainage pipes 202 form a crisscross drainage network. The water on the road surface enters the longitudinal drainage pipes 202 through several sets of drainage layers 4, so that the transverse drainage pipes 201 can be quickly discharged into the road base layer 1 along the set path. The prestressed anchor rods 3 provide additional support and tension to the road base layer 1. The gravel layer 401 and the crushed stone layer 402 are used to collect the infiltrated water.
[0038] Among them, the waterproof membrane layer 501 is laid at the bottom of the road base layer 1 to prevent groundwater from seeping into the road base layer 1 as much as possible. The compacted clay layer 502 further enhances the water-proofing effect. The water-proof layer 5 effectively prevents groundwater from rising to reduce settlement. It is used in combination with the drainage mechanism 2, prestressed anchor rods 3, and grid 6 to further improve the settlement control effect of the road base layer 1. The foamed lightweight soil layer, lightweight aggregate concrete layer, and polyethylene paving pad layer are all lightweight fillers, which helps to reduce the weight of the road base layer 1.
