Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water conservancy engineering technology, and in particular to a water-stopping structure for use between new and old concrete structures. Background Technology

[0002] The Ministry of Water Resources is making every effort to promote the construction of water conservancy infrastructure. After long-term operation, most water conservancy projects have now entered the stage of reinforcement, renovation, and upgrading. In practice, a safety assessment is usually conducted first, retaining the qualified parts of the old concrete structure, and then constructing a new concrete structure on this basis. A water-stop structure needs to be installed at the joint between the old and new concrete, and the quality of the water-stop structure directly affects the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the project. There are two main existing methods for water-stop installation: The first method involves chiseling a rectangular groove 2' on the water-facing surface of the old concrete structure 1', and then installing a water-stop plate 3' at the joint between the old and new concrete (see...). Figure 1 , 2 The second method involves attaching one end of the waterstop 3' to the surface of the old concrete 1' joint, and casting the other end into the new concrete structure 4' (see...). Figure 3 , 4 The former method cuts off the reinforcing steel in the concrete surface layer, affecting the safety of the original structure. Furthermore, the contact surface between the newly poured concrete and the old concrete at the groove is relatively weak, making it more susceptible to damage under long-term water flow, thus leading to the failure of the waterproofing structure and affecting project safety. The latter method, while not causing significant damage to the old structure, relies on anchor bolts or similar methods to attach the waterproofing sealant to the joint. If the sealant on the joint surface ages and deteriorates over time, a weak point for seepage will form between the waterproofing sealant and the structural joint surface. This prevents the waterproofing sealant from providing secondary protection, impacting project safety and efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a simple, easy-to-implement, safe and reliable water-stopping structure for use between new and old concrete structures. Specifically, the following technical solution can be adopted:

[0004] The water-stopping structure for use between old and new concrete structures according to this utility model includes an old concrete structure, a new concrete structure, and a water-stopping plate disposed between the two; the old and new concrete structures are arranged side by side, and both the old and new concrete structures have a layer of reinforcing steel bars on their water-facing surfaces; an installation groove is provided on the side of the old concrete structure, the opening of the installation groove is opposite to the joint between the old and new structures, the installation groove is located below the layer of reinforcing steel bars, and the lower side wall of the installation groove is a planar structure that gradually slopes downward towards the joint between the old and new structures; the water-stopping nose of the water-stopping plate is disposed in the joint between the old and new structures, one side wing of the water-stopping plate is attached to and fixedly connected to the lower side wall, and the other side wing of the water-stopping plate is disposed in the new concrete structure; a cement mortar backfill layer is provided in the installation groove, and a sealant sealing layer is provided at the entrance of the joint between the old and new structures.

[0005] The joint between the old and new structures is perpendicular to the water-facing side.

[0006] The cross-section of the mounting groove is an isosceles right triangle with its base parallel to the seam between the old and new structures.

[0007] The waterstop is a 1.0mm thick copper waterstop.

[0008] The lower sidewall is provided with a lower gasket, a waterstop plate, an upper gasket, and a pressure plate in sequence. The lower gasket, waterstop plate, upper gasket, and pressure plate are connected to the old concrete structure by anchor bolts.

[0009] This utility model provides a water-stopping structure for the transition between new and old concrete structures. It employs a groove-cutting method on the side of the old concrete structure to avoid the load-bearing steel reinforcement layer on the water-facing side, thus avoiding the drawback of cutting off the reinforcement during grooving and preserving the original structure's structural strength. The waterstop is fixed at an angle within the side groove, and then backfilled with high-strength cement mortar. The junction of the backfill material and the side groove avoids the water-facing side, making it resistant to damage over long-term operation. This utility model features a simple structure, is easy to construct, is safe, reliable, stable, and durable, and provides excellent water-stopping performance, making it highly suitable for the reinforcement, upgrading, and renovation of water conservancy projects.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the water-stopping structure for the gap between old and new concrete structures according to this utility model includes an old concrete structure 1, a new concrete structure 2, and a water-stopping plate 3 disposed between the two.

[0019] The old concrete structure 1 and the new concrete structure 2 are arranged side by side. In this embodiment, the joint between the two (i.e., the joint 4 between the old and new structures) is perpendicular to the water-facing side. Both the old concrete structure 1 and the new concrete structure 2 are equipped with reinforcing bars and distribution bars (forming a reinforcement layer 5) on their water-facing sides according to the structural stress conditions to meet the safety requirements of the concrete structure.

[0020] An installation groove 6 is provided on the side of the old concrete structure 1 (i.e., the side near the joint 4 between the old and new structures). The installation groove 6 is located below the reinforcing steel layer 5. The opening of the installation groove 6 is opposite to the joint 4 between the old and new structures, and the lower sidewall of the installation groove 6 is a planar structure that gradually slopes downward towards the joint 4. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the installation groove 6 is an isosceles right triangle structure with its base parallel to the joint 4 between the old and new structures. That is, the upper sidewall of the installation groove 6 is inclined upward at 45° along its axis of symmetry, and the lower sidewall is inclined downward at 45° along its axis of symmetry. Therefore, when installing the waterstop 3, only one side of its flange needs to be folded upward at 45°, which is convenient and easy. Furthermore, when the flange of the waterstop 3 is attached to the lower sidewall, if water seepage occurs, it will converge along the flange towards the waterstop nose (i.e., the U-shaped bend in the middle of the waterstop 3), improving the water-blocking effect.

[0021] The aforementioned waterstop 3 is made of 1.0mm thick copper. Its central waterstop nose is positioned within the joint 4 between the new and old structures. One side flange is attached to and fixedly connected to the lower side wall of the mounting groove 6, while the other side flange is poured into the new concrete structure 2 during construction. Closed-cell foam boards are installed within the joint 4 between the new and old structures to separate the concrete.

[0022] The aforementioned waterstop 3 is connected to the old concrete structure 1 by anchoring. Specifically, a lower gasket 7 is installed above the lower side wall of the installation groove 6, followed by the waterstop 3, upper gasket 8, and pressure plate 9, which are then placed sequentially. Anchor bolts 10 are then used to fix the lower gasket 7, waterstop 3, upper gasket 8, and pressure plate 9 to the old concrete structure 1. The upper gasket 8 and lower gasket 7 are typically rubber gaskets, the pressure plate 9 is made of Q235 steel, and multiple anchor bolts 10 are evenly spaced along the length of the installation groove 6.

[0023] After the new concrete structure 2 is completed, high-grade cement mortar (with a strength higher than that of the old concrete structure 1) is injected into the installation groove 6 through the grouting pipe to form a cement mortar backfill layer 11, and sealant is filled at the entrance of the joint 4 between the new and old structures to form a sealant sealing layer 12.

[0024] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
