Description
Bentonite seepage prevention structure for tunnels Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tunnel engineering seepage prevention technology, and in particular to a bentonite seepage prevention structure for tunnels. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most underground tunnel projects use waterproof membranes and waterproof boards for seepage prevention. However, this process cannot bond tightly to the base layer, creating gaps between them. As a result, most underground tunnels experience large-scale water seepage, leading to leakage and significant drainage costs. This results in a substantial increase in personnel and costs for tunnel management.
[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned existing technologies, it is necessary to study and design a new type of bentonite anti-seepage structure for tunnels, so as to overcome the problems existing in the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The existing waterproof membranes or boards often fail to bond tightly to the substrate, leading to large-area water seepage, increased drainage and maintenance costs, and other technical problems. Therefore, this invention provides a bentonite-based anti-seepage structure for tunnels. This utility model primarily utilizes bentonite's water-retaining effect by adding it between the tunnel wall and the substrate, achieving a unified anti-seepage effect through the material and structure, thus realizing permanent anti-seepage in underground tunnels.
[0005] The technical means adopted in this utility model are as follows:
[0006] A type of bentonite seepage prevention structure for tunnels includes: a seepage prevention structure for open-cut tunnels and a composite seepage prevention structure for tunnels constructed using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM);
[0007] Furthermore, the seepage prevention structure of the cut-and-cover tunnel includes: the seepage prevention structure of the bottom slab of the invert arch of the cut-and-cover tunnel, the seepage prevention structure of the vertical wall of the cut-and-cover tunnel, and the seepage prevention structure of the arch of the cut-and-cover tunnel;
[0008] Furthermore, the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) composite tunnel seepage prevention structure includes: NATM tunnel invert bottom slab seepage prevention structure, NATM tunnel vertical wall seepage prevention structure, and NATM tunnel arch top seepage prevention structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the seepage prevention structure of the invert arch bottom slab of the open-cut tunnel, from bottom to top, consists of: natural base course, aggregate and bentonite graded load-bearing seepage prevention body, 100mm thick concrete cushion layer, tunnel invert arch structure bottom slab, and tunnel roadway construction layer;
[0010] Furthermore, the seepage prevention structure of the cut-and-cover tunnel wall consists of the following components from the outside to the inside: precast reinforced concrete protective slab, bentonite seepage prevention layer, and tunnel inner wall structure. First, the tunnel inner wall structure is constructed, then the precast reinforced concrete protective slab is installed, and the bentonite seepage prevention layer is filled between the precast reinforced concrete protective slab and the tunnel inner wall structure. Finally, plain soil is gradually backfilled and compacted between the precast reinforced concrete protective slab and the natural base layer on both sides of the tunnel.
[0011] Furthermore, the anti-seepage structure of the tunnel arch from bottom to top consists of: the tunnel arch outer wall structure, longitudinal granite ribs, bentonite mortar anti-seepage layer, fiberglass grid, 30mm thick mortar protective layer, and reinforced concrete retaining slab. The tunnel arch outer wall structure is constructed first, followed by the installation of longitudinal granite ribs, with the bentonite mortar anti-seepage layer filled between them. A fiberglass grid is then installed outside the bentonite mortar anti-seepage layer, followed by a 30mm thick mortar protective layer. A reinforced concrete retaining slab is then installed outside the 30mm thick mortar protective layer, and finally, plain soil is backfilled and compacted outside the reinforced concrete retaining slab.
[0012] Furthermore, the gravel and bentonite graded load-bearing seepage barrier is a seepage barrier made of 200-500mm graded gravel and bentonite.

First, the truss is installed. Then, the initial reinforced concrete lining layer is constructed outside the surrounding geological rock of the tunnel. The formwork that can be removed is then mounted on the truss. A thick bentonite mud plaster anti-seepage layer is filled between the formwork and the initial reinforced concrete lining layer. Finally, the tunnel reinforced concrete structural wall is constructed outside the formwork. Before constructing the tunnel reinforced concrete structural wall, PVA bentonite waterstop strips are installed outside the formwork.
[0015] Furthermore, the anti-seepage structure of the tunnel arch using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) consists of the following components from top to bottom: the surrounding geological rock of the tunnel, the reinforced concrete layer of the initial tunnel lining, the bentonite slurry anti-seepage layer, the formwork that can be removed without dismantling, the PVA bentonite waterstop strip, and the external wall structure of the tunnel arch.

PVA bentonite waterstop strips are installed on the outside of the formwork, and the external wall structure of the tunnel arch is constructed on the outside of the formwork. Finally, the bentonite slurry anti-seepage layer is injected between the formwork that can be removed without dismantling and the reinforced concrete layer of the initial tunnel lining through the spherical check valve grouting pipe.
[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the bentonite mud-plaster anti-seepage layer is ≥50mm.
[0017] Furthermore, the spherical check valve grouting pipe consists of multiple pipes with a spacing of ≤6m.
[0018] Furthermore, the PVA bentonite waterstop strips are arranged vertically on the outside of the non-removable formwork.
