[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a spoil disposal site dam structure includes a stone dam body 1. The bottom of the stone dam body 1 is provided with a bottom stone transition layer 5, a concrete facing layer 11 and a large stone drainage layer 2 from top to bottom. The stone transition layer 5 is covered with a bottom composite geomembrane layer 4.
[0030] On the water-facing surface of the rubble dam body 1, from the inside out, there are a water-facing rubble transition layer 13 and a water-facing drainage body 3. Inside the water-facing rubble transition layer 13, from the inside out, there are a water-facing composite geomembrane layer 14 and a shotcrete protective layer 12.
[0031] A drainage culvert 6 is provided at the middle position of the top of the rubble dam 1. An anti-erosion and wear-resistant shotcrete layer 9 is provided at the contact position between the inlet of the drainage culvert 6 and the rubble dam 1.
[0032] The upstream part of the dam body 1, which is in contact with the bank slope, is equipped with erosion-resistant and wear-resistant shotcrete 10.
[0033] The slag dam body 1 is the excavated waste material that can be reused, which can effectively reduce the amount of waste material and environmental protection work at the slag yard.
[0034] The large stone drainage layer 2 and the water-facing drainage body 3 are fill bodies made of moderately weathered or slightly new rocks. The fill bodies have a large porosity and have high strength and permeability after filling.
[0035] The thickness of the bottom composite geomembrane layer 4 and the water-facing composite geomembrane layer 14 shall not be less than 3mm. The specific thickness shall be selected in combination with the project's material reserves and the upstream water head height. It has the characteristics of strong impermeability and high tensile and puncture resistance.
[0036] The height of the rockfill dam body 1 needs to be determined by combining the historical water level downstream and the hydrological conditions upstream, and taking into account a certain recurrence period, so as to reduce the risk of dam overtopping during operation to a large extent.
[0037] Downstream of the drainage culvert 6 is a drop outlet 7, and top of the drainage culvert 6 is a culvert cover 8.
[0038] The number of holes and the size of each hole in the spillway culvert 6, located at the top middle of the rubble dam 1, were determined after calculating the channel's discharge capacity based on upstream hydrological conditions and downstream historical water levels. The controlled discharge flow is between 1 m / s and 3 m / s. The erosion and wear resistance of the concrete structure is sufficient to meet the scouring of this flow velocity and can meet the flood discharge requirements during heavy rainfall.
[0039] The large stone drainage layer 2 located at the bottom of the slag dam 1 undertakes all drainage tasks when the upstream water flow is small, and when the upstream water flow is large and the water level is high enough to overflow the bottom slab elevation of the culvert, it and the culvert together complete the drainage task.
[0040] The thickness of the impact-resistant and wear-resistant shotcrete layer 9 is not less than 15cm, which can significantly reduce the scouring and erosion of the dam body around the culvert by water flow, and is easy to maintain, which improves the service life of the structure and reduces maintenance costs.
[0041] The thickness of the erosion-resistant and wear-resistant shotcrete 10 in the dam body is not less than 15cm, which can significantly reduce the scouring and erosion of the slope and dam body by water flow, and is easy to maintain, which improves the service life of the structure and reduces maintenance costs.
[0042] The axis of the drainage culvert 6 is parallel to the natural water flow direction, which can effectively reduce water erosion and ensure the efficiency of upstream water collection and discharge.
[0043] The concrete facing layer 11 located above the bottom large stone drainage layer 2 can significantly improve the integrity of the bottom large stone drainage layer 2 and increase the service life of the structure.
[0044] The construction process of this utility model is as follows:
[0045] During construction, firstly, loose stones and surface debris at the dam location are removed, and the site is leveled. Then, the bottom large stone drainage layer 2 is constructed. After this layer is completed, a concrete facing layer 11 is constructed on top of it. The concrete facing layer is only poured and roughly leveled on the top surface of the large stone drainage layer 2.
[0046] After the concrete facing layer 11 is completed, a bottom stone slag transition layer 5 with a thickness of 1 / 2 of the design is laid on it, and then a bottom composite geomembrane layer 4 is laid on it. After the composite geomembrane is laid, another bottom stone slag transition layer 5 with a thickness of 1 / 2 of the design is laid on it (to protect the composite geomembrane); then the stone slag dam body 1 is filled.
[0047] Fill to the bottom elevation of the spillway culvert 6, and construct the spillway culvert 6. The number of holes and cross-section of the spillway culvert 6 are selected after the water discharge capacity is checked. After the spillway culvert 6 is completed, construct an anti-erosion and wear-resistant shotcrete layer 9 at the contact position between the spillway culvert inlet and the rock dam body. Then fill to the top according to the design height of the rock dam body 1. The top elevation of the rock dam body 1 is obtained by hydrological analysis of upstream and downstream areas.
[0048] At the construction site on the water-facing side of the rock dam body 1, first fill the water-facing rock transition layer 13 with a thickness of 1 / 2 of the design thickness, then lay the water-facing composite geomembrane layer 14, spray a layer of shotcrete protective layer 12 on it, and then lay the remaining water-facing rock transition layer 13 with a thickness of 1 / 2 of the design thickness; finally fill the upstream water-facing drainage body 3.
[0049] After the rock dam body 1 is filled, impact-resistant and wear-resistant shotcrete 10 is applied to the upstream contact area with the bank slope to increase the resistance to seepage damage in the contact area.
[0050] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The embodiments and features described in this application can be arbitrarily combined without conflict. The protection scope of this utility model should be defined as the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
