Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of waterproof structure for construction joints of tower crane foundations, and more particularly to a waterproof structure for construction joints of tower crane foundations. Background Technology

[0002] Tower cranes are widely used in building construction, and the tower crane foundation is a crucial structural element. As building height increases, so does the depth of the foundation pit, leading to greater groundwater pressure. This often results in water leakage at the joints between the concrete pier-type tower crane foundation and the surrounding raft slab concrete structure. Due to the numerous embedded reinforcing bars in the foundation, conventional water-stop steel plates are affected by the placement of the reinforcing bars and formwork, resulting in poor water-stopping effects around the foundation concrete, high maintenance costs, and difficult repairs.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN219862984U discloses a waterproof structure for construction joints in tower crane foundations. It includes a construction joint located between the tower crane foundation layer and the post-cast foundation layer. The tower crane foundation layer comprises an excavated pit, with a cushion layer laid on top of the pit's inner cavity. A waterproof layer is placed on top of the cushion layer, and a pre-cast concrete layer is poured on top of the waterproof layer. This invention, through the combined use of a waterproof layer and waterproof membrane, prevents water seepage from the bottom of the pit and the post-cast foundation layer. The installation of a water-stop steel plate provides initial waterproofing to the construction joint. The combined use of a construction groove, self-healing agent, water-swellable water-stop strip, and self-healing putty further enhances the waterproofing effect of the construction joint. The combined use of waterproof coating one and waterproof coating two further strengthens the waterproofing effect of the construction joint, thus achieving effective waterproofing of the tower crane foundation construction joint.

[0004] Existing waterproofing structures for tower crane foundation construction joints suffer from problems such as poor waterproofing and sealing effects, difficulty and high cost in subsequent treatment, and difficulty in completely eradicating leaks. To overcome these disadvantages, this utility model provides a waterproofing structure for tower crane foundation construction joints. Utility Model Content

A waterproof layer is hot-melt laid on the concrete cushion layer, and an SBS waterproof layer is hot-laid on top of the waterproof layer. Geotextile is laid on the SBS waterproof layer, and the geotextile has a unit mass of 200g / m2.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper row of reinforcing bars is located in the upper part of the column pier structure and is inserted into the reinforcing bars of the first-phase tower crane foundation.

The lower row of reinforcing bars is located in the lower part of the column pier structure and is inserted into the reinforcing bars of the first-phase tower crane foundation. The pre-embedded anchorage length will be tied into the second-phase reinforcing bars when the second-phase concrete is poured.
