[0032] Please see Figures 1-3This application provides a cofferdam structure 10, constructed on the alluvial-diluvial deposits of a riverbed. These deposits are primarily composed of alluvial materials such as pebbles, sand, or clay, with varying particle sizes, poor roundness, indistinct stratification, high permeability, and a large overburden thickness. The cofferdam structure 10 provided in this application eliminates the need for large-scale excavation within the alluvial-diluvial deposits, thereby reducing safety risks and saving costs and time.

[0033] In this embodiment of the application, the cofferdam structure 10 includes a cover plate 100, a composite geomembrane 200, and a cofferdam body 300. The cover plate 100 is disposed on the alluvial-diluvial deposit, the composite geomembrane 200 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 100, the cofferdam body 300 is disposed on the alluvial-diluvial deposit, and the composite geomembrane 200 penetrates through the cofferdam body 300.

[0034] The cover plate 100 is provided with a row of curtain grouting layers 110 and multiple rows of consolidation grouting layers 120. The multiple rows of consolidation grouting layers 120 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis L of the cofferdam structure 10. The curtain grouting layer 110 is located at the central axis L of the cofferdam structure 10. The curtain grouting layer 110 includes multiple curtain grouting holes 111 arranged at intervals. The consolidation grouting layer 120 includes multiple consolidation grouting holes 121 arranged at intervals.

[0035] The cover plate 100 can be made of reinforced concrete, and its thickness can be designed according to soil conditions and grouting pressure. Surface reinforcement can be installed on the cover plate 100, and mortar anchors 150 can be installed on the bank slope section to enhance the overall structural integrity and stability. The curtain grouting layer 110 and the multi-row consolidation grouting layer 120 are both integrated into the cover plate 100. Cement grout can be applied to the ground through the curtain grouting layer 110 and the multi-row consolidation grouting layer 120 to cement the alluvial deposits into a hard, unified structure, improving the foundation bearing capacity and preventing cofferdam settlement or sliding. The cover plate 100 can distribute grouting pressure, preventing excessive local pressure from penetrating soft soil layers. When installing the cover plate 100, the foundation surface should be cleaned along the ground line first, and then the grouting of the cover plate 100 should be carried out. Mortar anchors 150 can be installed on the bank slope section.

[0036] Multiple rows of consolidation grouting layers 120 are symmetrically arranged along the central axis L of the cofferdam structure 10, meaning that an even number of rows of consolidation grouting layers 120 can be arranged symmetrically along the central axis L of the cofferdam structure 10. Specifically, four rows of consolidation grouting layers 120 can be arranged, with two rows of consolidation grouting layers 120 arranged on each side of the central axis L of the cofferdam structure 10, and a curtain grouting layer 110 arranged in the middle of the four rows of consolidation grouting layers 120. Consolidation grouting holes 121 and curtain grouting holes 111 are used for grouting. Through multi-row controllable consolidation grouting, a reinforced zone is quickly formed, improving the integrity and stability of the alluvial-flood deposit. The curtain grouting in the middle reinforces seepage prevention, forming a dual guarantee mechanism of "shallow rapid consolidation + deep precise seepage prevention". That is, consolidation grouting enhances the stability of the alluvial-flood deposit at the dam foundation, and forms a plate-shaped water-stopping curtain under the action of grout consolidation, reducing the seepage channels in the curtain grouting zone and improving the curtain seepage prevention effect. The composite geomembrane 200 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 100 to form a seepage prevention curtain, which improves the overall integrity and seepage prevention effect, and realizes the organic combination of the grouting curtain and the composite geomembrane 200 curtain.

[0037] Consolidation grouting can utilize a cement-accelerator two-component grout, with the setting time dynamically adjusted according to site conditions to ensure thorough consolidation and rapid solidification, thereby improving construction efficiency. Curtain grouting can employ ultrafine cement grout to form a seepage barrier. Central curtain grouting reinforces seepage prevention and reduces the risk of seepage damage in the consolidated area. Curtain grouting and consolidation grouting complement each other functionally and are spatially integrated. Consolidation grouting provides "shallow reinforcement" as a pretreatment for curtain grouting's "deep seepage prevention," providing the necessary conditions for subsequent curtain grouting. Curtain grouting forms a deep seepage barrier, blocking deep leakage paths and creating a three-dimensional protection system with the shallow consolidated area.

[0038] The dam body 300 can be constructed using riprap, with a riprap slope protection on the upstream water-facing side. The dam body 300 primarily uses stone for filling, which is simple to construct, readily available, and allows for full utilization of excavated material. The riprap slope protection on the upstream water-facing side reduces scouring and erosion, ensuring the stability and safety of the cofferdam structure 10.

[0039] In the cofferdam structure 10 provided in this application, since the cover plate 100 is provided with curtain grouting holes 111 and consolidation grouting holes 121, grouting reinforcement can be carried out directly on the ground surface through the curtain grouting holes 111 and consolidation grouting holes 121 on the cover plate 100. The plate-shaped reinforcement zone is formed by controllable consolidation grouting, without the need for large-scale excavation of deep pits in the alluvial deposits, thereby reducing safety risks and saving costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, the consolidation grouting hole 121 extends 2m into the strongly weathered layer, and the curtain grouting hole 111 extends 2m into the weakly weathered layer.

[0041] The strongly weathered layer and the weakly weathered layer are located in the bedrock under the alluvial-diluvial deposit. The consolidation grouting hole 121 extends 2m below the strongly weathered layer to ensure that the soft soil and the strongly weathered layer are reinforced together. The curtain grouting hole 111 extends 2m below the weakly weathered layer because there are still micro-cracks in the weakly weathered layer, which need to be plugged with ultrafine cement.

[0042] In some embodiments, in a row of consolidated grouting layers 120, the distance between two adjacent consolidated grouting holes 121 is 2m, and the distance between two adjacent rows of consolidated grouting layers 120 is 1.5m. In two adjacent rows of consolidated grouting layers 120, multiple consolidated grouting holes 121 are staggered.

[0043] The consolidation grouting is carried out in two sequences, first grouting the riverbed area and then grouting the bank slope area from left to right. With the cofferdam axis as the center, grouting is carried out from the outside to the inside. The downstream consolidation grouting hole 121 is grouted first, and then the upstream consolidation grouting hole 121 is grouted. The optimization of the construction sequence can make the grout fully grouted and compacted, thus improving the grouting quality.

[0044] In some embodiments, the distance between two adjacent curtain grouting holes 111 is 2m, and the distance between the curtain grouting layer 110 and the adjacent consolidation grouting layer 120 is 1.5m.

[0045] Consolidation grouting has a lower pressure, while curtain grouting has a higher pressure. Consolidation grouting can be carried out first, followed by curtain grouting. Through differentiated design of materials and pressures and optimization of construction sequence, precise control of shallow reinforcement and deep seepage prevention can be achieved, solving the problem of needing both foundation reinforcement and seepage prevention on deep alluvial layers.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the cover plate 100 is provided with anchoring grooves 130 and fasteners 140. The end of the composite geomembrane 200 is attached to at least part of the inner wall of the anchoring groove 130. The fasteners 140 connect the composite geomembrane 200 and the cover plate 100, thereby mechanically connecting the composite geomembrane 200 and the cover plate 100. The composite geomembrane 200 and the grouting curtain are organically combined to form a seepage barrier. By connecting the anchoring groove 130 integrated on the grouting cover plate 100 with the upper seepage-proof composite geomembrane 200 as a whole, the organic combination of the grouting curtain and the composite geomembrane 200 curtain is achieved. The integrated design of the anchoring groove 130 and the grouting cover plate 100 reduces the construction difficulty and improves the anchoring reliability of the composite geomembrane 200.

[0047] Specifically, the dimensions of the anchoring groove 130 can be determined according to the seepage level of the cofferdam. The fasteners 140 may include stainless steel expansion bolts 141 and pressure strips 142. The thickness of the pressure strip 142 is greater than or equal to 3mm, and the width is 50mm to 80mm. The periphery of the pressure strip 142 is filled tightly with polysulfide sealant. The ends of the composite geomembrane 200 can be folded, and the folded portion of the composite geomembrane 200 is attached to at least part of the inner wall of the anchoring groove 130.

[0048] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the anchoring groove 130 has a slope 143, and the end of the composite geomembrane 200 is attached to the slope 143, thereby increasing the contact area between the end of the composite geomembrane 200 and the anchoring groove 130 to improve the connection strength. Specifically, the anchoring groove 130 may be a right trapezoidal shape.

[0049] In some embodiments, a filling layer 144 is provided inside the anchoring groove 130, and the filling layer 144 is compacted to form a composite geomembrane 200. The filling layer 144 can be fine aggregate concrete, that is, the anchoring groove 130 is filled with fine aggregate concrete and compacted to ensure that the ends of the composite geomembrane 200 are embedded in the anchoring groove 130 after welding to form a closed seepage-proof body.

[0050] In some embodiments, a transition layer 310 is provided on both sides of the composite geomembrane 200, and the transition layer 310 is in contact with the weir body 300.

[0051] The two sides of the composite geomembrane 200 are the upstream and downstream of the composite geomembrane 200. The transition layer 310 can be made of graded sand and gravel (particle size ≤ 80mm). Fine-particle materials are selected on the side close to the composite geomembrane 200, and the outer side gradually transitions to coarse-particle materials to form a filter layer between the rockfill and the composite geomembrane 200 to protect the composite geomembrane 200 from damage and prevent seepage.

[0052] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0053] 1) Simple structure and convenient construction: This utility model is based on alluvial and diluvial foundation, avoiding the need for large-scale deep foundation pit excavation or complex grouting process. The construction is simple and quick, reducing safety risks and construction costs, and shortening the construction period. It is suitable for cofferdam projects with deep soft foundation.

[0054] 2) Significant effects and good synergy: Curtain grouting and consolidation grouting complement each other functionally and are spatially integrated. Through differentiated design of materials and pressure, as well as optimization of construction sequence, they meet the needs of rapid consolidation and efficient seepage prevention in alluvial deposits, forming a triple guarantee mechanism of "shallow rapid consolidation + deep precise seepage prevention + organic combination of composite geomembrane". The grouting effect is highly efficient and the synergistic performance is excellent.

[0055] 3) Green and environmentally friendly, energy-saving and emission-reducing: It avoids large-scale foundation pit excavation and support and drainage. The composite geomembrane 200 anti-seepage wall avoids the encroachment of anti-seepage soil material mining on local land and environmental slope damage, which is conducive to environmental protection.

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments as well as all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the present invention.
