Description
A roadbed anti-settlement structure Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of road structure, and in particular to a roadbed anti-settlement structure. Background Technology
[0002] Subgrade settlement control structures are structural systems designed in road engineering to prevent subgrade settlement or uneven settlement. These structures are typically used to improve subgrade stability, extend road service life, and ensure driving safety and comfort. The design and construction of subgrade settlement control structures are important aspects of civil engineering, especially in areas with soft soil foundations, collapsible loess areas, or other areas with poor geological conditions. The subgrade is the foundation of a road, bearing the loads of the pavement and its superstructure, and transferring them to the foundation. The stability of the subgrade directly affects the overall performance of the road.
[0003] Generally, settlement prevention is achieved through methods such as replacement, reinforced soil technology, pile foundation reinforcement, preloading, and drainage consolidation. Replacement involves excavating unsuitable soil layers and backfilling with high-strength materials (such as sand and gravel) to improve the bearing capacity of the roadbed. Reinforced soil technology involves adding high-strength geosynthetics (such as geogrids and geotextiles) to the roadbed to enhance its overall stability and settlement resistance. Pile foundation reinforcement involves driving piles into soft soil foundations to transfer the load to deeper, more stable soil layers, thereby reducing settlement. Preloading involves applying additional loads before roadbed construction to consolidate the foundation in advance, reducing later settlement. Drainage consolidation involves setting up vertical drainage channels (such as plastic drainage boards and sand wells) to accelerate the drainage of pore water in the foundation, thereby improving the degree of consolidation. However, various settlement prevention technologies still have limitations in terms of complexity and effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

The lower geogrid is disposed on the lower drainage layer. The upper drainage layer is disposed on the lower geogrid. The upper drainage layer has a granular accumulation layer structure with a porosity of 15% to 20%. The lower geogrid consists of multiple first rubber strips arranged in parallel. Each first rubber strip has a group of drainage holes penetrating its thickness direction. Adjacent first rubber strips are spaced apart at multiple connection points in the length direction. Each first rubber strip is spaced apart at multiple structural strips in the length direction. The structural strips are embedded in the middle of the thickness direction of the first rubber strip and are arranged along the width direction of the first rubber strip.

[0036] The road surface layer 600 is stacked on the road surface layer 500.
[0037] In the existing technologies, various anti-settlement processes still have the problem of being relatively complex and having room for improvement in effectiveness.
[0038] The roadbed anti-settlement structure provided by this utility model includes:
[0039] Roadbed 100 serves as the structural foundation. The material of Roadbed 100 can be a compacted foundation surface at the construction site, such as soil.
[0040] Subbase layer 200 is laid on top of subgrade 100. Subbase layer 200 has a granular compacted structure with a porosity of 4% to 7%. Subbase layer 200 has a relatively dense structure and can be composed of fine sand and crushed stone with a particle size of 3.0mm–10.0mm, compacted together.

The gradation of the fine sand and crushed stone is selected based on actual conditions. Subbase layer 200 provides structural support while also achieving a certain degree of moisture removal.
[0041] The drainage layer comprises a lower drainage layer 310, a lower geogrid 320, and an upper drainage layer 330. The lower drainage layer 310 is water-resistant and is stacked on top of the foundation layer 200.

The granules in the lower drainage layer 310 can be fine sand and crushed stone, and the gradation of the fine sand and crushed stone is selected according to the actual situation.
[0042] A lower geogrid 320 is installed on the lower drainage layer 310. An upper drainage layer 330 is laid on top of the lower geogrid 320. The upper drainage layer 330 has a granular accumulation structure with a porosity of 15% to 20%. The lower geogrid 320 consists of multiple first adhesive strips 321 arranged in parallel.

The structural strips 322 are embedded in the middle of the thickness of the first adhesive strip 321 and are arranged along the width of the first adhesive strip 321. The structural strips 322 enhance the strength of the first adhesive strips 321 in the width direction, thereby strengthening the structural strength of each grid in the lower geogrid 320. The structural strips 322 can be made of iron wire or steel wire, etc. By strengthening the lower geogrid 320, the overall strength of the upper drainage layer 330 is guaranteed, while the toughness of each grid in the lower geogrid 320 is improved, thus reducing the possibility of structural abnormalities in the upper drainage layer 330.

Adjacent second adhesive strips are spaced apart along their length to form multiple connection points. The second adhesive strips can be connected by welding or bonding.
[0044] The pavement layer 500 is laid on top of the geogrid 400 to form a bond. The pavement layer 500 is made of cement. It forms the main structural support. Reinforcement is achieved through the composite geogrid 400, thus increasing the structural strength of the pavement layer 500. The pavement layer 500 is made of cement and incorporates appropriately sized reinforcing bars to provide structural strength. The thickness of the pavement layer 500 is determined according to actual construction standards. The cement-based pavement layer 500 offers advantages such as simple construction and superior performance.

The upper drainage layer 330 is laid on top of the lower geogrid 320. Structural strips 322 are embedded in the middle of the thickness direction of the first adhesive strip 321 and are positioned along its width. The structural strips 322 enhance the strength of the first adhesive strip 321 in its width direction, thereby strengthening the structural strength of each grid in the lower geogrid 320. This structurally reinforced lower geogrid 320 ensures the overall strength of the upper drainage layer 330 while increasing the toughness of each grid, thus reducing the likelihood of structural abnormalities in the upper drainage layer 330. The composite reinforcement with the upper geogrid 400 further enhances the structural strength of the pavement layer 500.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two ends (two legs) of the U-shaped connector 324 are each clamped by a sub-film 323, and the clamping operation can be completed simultaneously during the forming process of the first adhesive strip 321. The introduction of the U-shaped connector 324 enables connection between adjacent first adhesive strips 321. The number of U-shaped connectors 324 depends on the specific dimensions.
[0049] In one embodiment, adjacent first adhesive strips 321 are welded or bonded together.
[0050] In this embodiment, adjacent first adhesive strips 321 are heat-melted at the bonding location to achieve connection, or the connection is achieved through external adhesive, which has the advantages of simplicity and convenience.
