[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a sediment reduction road structure for a sewage treatment plant, which mainly includes:

[0024] 1. Crushed gravel and sand layer, 2. Lower crushed stone block, 3. Upper crushed stone block, 4. Silt-stabilized soil layer, 5. First filling layer, 6. Subbase layer, 7. Woven bidirectional geotextile, 8. Second filling layer, 9. Semi-rigid base layer, 10. Road surface, 11. Grouting holes and 12.

[0025] The gravel and sand layer 1 is built on the original foundation, and its thickness is generally set to 0.5-0.8m.

[0026] A layer of solidified silt soil 4 is laid on top of the gravel and sand layer 1, with a thickness generally set at 1.0-1.2m. The solidified silt soil layer 4 can specifically be a slab structure formed by solidifying fluid silt soil. This structural form has the characteristics of good integrity and is not prone to settlement.

[0027] A first filling layer 5 is laid on top of the silt-stabilized soil layer 4. The material of the first filling layer 5 is generally an existing 4% cement-stabilized graded gravel layer, and its thickness is generally set to 0.2-0.4m.

[0028] A subbase 6 is laid on top of the first filling layer 5. The subbase 6 is generally made of existing reinforced concrete, and its thickness is generally set to 0.1-0.2m. The subbase 6 provides stable support for the layer above.

[0029] A woven bi-directional geotextile 7 is laid on top of the subbase 6. The woven bi-directional geotextile 7 can play a role in isolation and seepage prevention, effectively protecting the road structure below from damage by external forces.

[0030] A second filling layer 8 is laid on top of the woven biaxial geotextile 7. The material of the second filling layer 8 is generally an existing 6% cement-stabilized graded gravel layer, and its thickness is generally set to 0.25-0.35m.

[0031] A semi-rigid base course 9 is laid on top of the second fill layer 8. The material of the semi-rigid base course 9 is generally an existing cement-stabilized crushed stone layer, and its thickness is generally set to 0.15-0.25m. The second fill layer 8 and the semi-rigid base course 9 mainly serve to support the road surface 10 above.

[0032] The pavement 10 is laid on the semi-rigid base 9. The material of the pavement 10 is generally an existing asphalt concrete layer, and its thickness is generally set to 0.15-0.35m.

[0033] The load from the road surface 10 can be dispersed through the combined action of the first filling layer 5, the subbase layer 6, and the second filling layer 8. Specifically, the load borne by the road surface 10 is first partially dispersed by the semi-rigid base layer 9, and then uniformly transferred to the silt-stabilized soil layer 4 through the second filling layer 8, the subbase layer 6, and the first filling layer 5 in sequence.

[0034] In this invention, multiple sets of lower crushed stone blocks 2 and upper crushed stone blocks 3 are provided in the crushed stone and gravel layer 1, the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and the first filling layer 5. Each set consists of one lower crushed stone block 2 and one upper crushed stone block 3. The lower crushed stone block 2 and the upper crushed stone block 3 are vertically arranged, with the lower crushed stone block 2 located below the upper crushed stone block 3. Furthermore, the lower crushed stone block 2 and the upper crushed stone block 3 have the same diameter. Multiple such combinations can be provided and evenly distributed. The distance between adjacent sets is 1-2m, preferably 1.5m. Specifically, the lower end of the lower crushed stone pier 2 is inserted into the crushed stone and gravel layer 1 at a depth of 0.1-0.3m; the upper end of the lower crushed stone pier 2 is located in the silt-stabilized soil layer 4; the upper end of the upper crushed stone pier 3 is inserted into the first filling layer 5, and the upper end of the upper crushed stone pier 3 is in contact with the lower surface of the cushion layer 6; the lower end of the upper crushed stone pier 3 is located in the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and the lower end of the upper crushed stone pier 3 is in contact with the upper end of the lower crushed stone pier 2. Multiple sets of lower crushed stone piers 2 and upper crushed stone piers 3 can better withstand the load from above, improve the structural stability of the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, make the silt-stabilized soil layer 4 more stable, increase its bearing capacity, and prevent loosening and settlement problems.

[0035] The construction methods for the lower crushed stone pier 2 and the upper crushed stone pier 3 can be carried out according to existing technology. As a preferred embodiment, a crushed stone and gravel layer 1, a silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and a first filling layer 5 can be laid sequentially. Then, a modified auger drills are used to drill holes, sequentially drilling into the first filling layer 5, the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and the crushed stone and gravel layer 1 from top to bottom. The resulting hole 12 is then filled with crushed stone with a particle size of 15-20mm and compacted to form the lower crushed stone pier 2. Next, crushed stone with a particle size of 5-10mm is filled and compacted to form the upper crushed stone pier 3. The minimum compaction degree of the lower crushed stone pier 2 and the upper crushed stone pier 3 is 0.93. All lower crushed stone piers 2 and upper crushed stone piers 3 can be constructed using this method.

[0036] After the lower crushed stone block 2 and the upper crushed stone block 3 are completed, continue to lay the subbase 6, woven bidirectional geotextile 7, second filling layer 8, semi-rigid base layer 9 and pavement 10 according to the existing road construction method.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, grouting holes 11 can also be provided in the gravel and sand layer 1, the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and the first filling layer 5. Specifically, in the first case, multiple grouting holes 11 and multiple holes 12 for constructing the lower gravel pier 2 and the upper gravel pier 3 are simultaneously constructed using a modified auger drill. The diameter of the grouting holes 11 is the same as that of the holes 12 for constructing the lower gravel pier 2 and the upper gravel pier 3; their arrangement is preferably as follows: Figure 3 As shown, multiple grouting holes 11 and multiple holes 12 used to make the lower crushed stone block 2 and the upper crushed stone block 3 are arranged in a series of evenly spaced intervals, that is, the spacing between adjacent grouting holes 11 and holes 12 is the same.

[0038] In the second scenario, instead of setting up lower and upper crushed stone blocks 2 and 3, multiple evenly distributed grouting holes 11 are directly installed. Specifically, a crushed stone and gravel layer 1, a silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and a first filling layer 5 are laid sequentially. Then, a modified auger is used for drilling, drilling from top to bottom into the first filling layer 5, the silt-stabilized soil layer 4, and the crushed stone and gravel layer 1, thereby forming grouting holes 11. The spacing between two adjacent grouting holes 11 is 1-2m, preferably 1.5m.

[0039] In both the first and second scenarios described above, after the grouting holes 11 are constructed, a reinforced concrete structure can be built within them using existing reinforced concrete construction methods. The upper end of this reinforced concrete structure connects to the lower end of the cushion layer 6, and its lower end is inserted into the gravel and sand layer 1 to a depth of 0.1-0.3 m. This reinforced concrete structure penetrates the first filling layer 5 and the entire silt-stabilized soil layer 4, further providing stable support to both layers and effectively controlling and reducing settlement.

[0040] In this invention, the optimal configuration is one that simultaneously includes a lower crushed stone pier 2, an upper crushed stone pier 3, and a reinforced concrete structure in the grouting hole 11, thus achieving the optimal road structure design for reducing settlement.

[0041] This utility model provides a settling-reducing road structure for wastewater treatment plants, mainly applicable to wastewater treatment plant areas. Before constructing the various treatment ponds in the wastewater treatment plant area, the settling-reducing road structure is constructed first. After the settling-reducing road structure is completed, the treatment ponds are then constructed on top of it. At this point, the road surface 10, semi-rigid base layer 9, and second filling layer 8 can be excavated sequentially. Then, the pond structure is constructed on the woven bi-directional geotextile 7 using existing construction methods. The structures below the woven bi-directional geotextile 7 in the settling-reducing road structure remain unchanged. This method achieves anti-settlement design for the treatment ponds in the wastewater treatment plant area, providing stable support and reducing the occurrence of settlement. To reduce construction costs, the treatment ponds can be constructed simultaneously with the settling-reducing road structure; that is, the second filling layer 8, semi-rigid base layer 9, and road surface 10 are not constructed at the construction locations of the treatment ponds, and the treatment ponds are constructed directly. Figure 4 As shown, other normal driving roads and pedestrian roads in the sewage treatment plant area are constructed according to the aforementioned settling reduction road structure.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
