AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When the water level difference between upstream and downstream of a rubber dam is small and the downstream water depth is large, the water flow downstream of the dam will generate a deflecting flow under the influence of wind, waves and river morphology, causing the dam bag to sway, affecting the safety of the dam body and threatening the overall stability of the hydraulic structure.

Method used

Multiple guide walls and toe piers are installed downstream of the rubber dam to adjust the flow direction and flow pattern, reduce unfavorable deflecting water flow, and shorten the wind zone length through the guide wall and toe pier structure to improve the stability of the dam bag.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces the impact of wind, waves, and river morphology on the dam bag, improves the stability and durability of the rubber dam, and enhances the structural stability of the dam bag.

[0018] A rubber dam diversion energy dissipation structure includes at least one central pier 3 and multiple toe piers 2.

[0019] The dam bag 7 is set on the rubber dam base plate 6, and there are wing walls 4 on both sides of the dam bag 7 set on the rubber dam base plate 6.

[0020] Multiple central piers 3 are set on the dam bag 7.

[0021] Each of the middle piers 3 is connected to a guide wall 1 downstream, which is located on the slope section of the stilling basin 5. The number of guide walls 1 is the same as the number of middle piers 3.

[0022] Multiple toe piers 2 are set downstream of the dam bag 7, and the toe piers 2 are located on the slope section of the stilling basin 5.

[0023] Specifically, multiple toe blocks 2 are set between the guide walls 1 and between the guide walls 1 and the edge wing walls 4.

[0024] Furthermore, the height of the toe pier 2 is lower than the height of the guide wall 1.

[0025] In this embodiment, the guide wall 1 is a reinforced concrete structure with a length of 500cm and a width of 80cm. The width of the guide wall 1 is the same as that of the middle pier 3. The upstream pier head of the guide wall 1 is smoothly connected to the downstream pier head of the middle pier 3. The shape of the upstream pier head of the guide wall 1 is complementary to the concave and convex shape of the downstream pier head of the middle pier. For example, the upstream pier head of the guide wall 1 has a protrusion, and the downstream pier head of the middle pier 3 has a depression. The downstream pier head of the guide wall 1 can be semi-circular or streamlined.

[0026] The guide wall 1 is 200cm higher than the bottom slab 6 of the rubber dam. The downstream abutment of the guide wall 1 is semi-circular and is 300cm higher than the bottom slab of the stilling basin 5. The guide wall 1 is anchored to the sloping section of the stilling basin 5 and extends 100cm into the horizontal section of the stilling basin 5.

[0027] Toe pier 2 is a reinforced concrete structure located between guide wall 1 and wing wall 4. Multiple toe piers 2 are arranged at equal intervals, with a width of 60cm, a center-to-center spacing of 500cm, and a net distance of 470cm. The upstream abutment of toe pier 2 is semi-circular, extending 30cm above the bottom slab 6 of the rubber dam. The downstream abutment of toe pier 2 is semi-circular, extending 130cm above the bottom slab of the stilling basin 5. Toe pier 2 is anchored to the slope section of the stilling basin 5, or both the upstream and downstream abutments of toe pier 2 are streamlined.

[0028] Specifically, the reinforced concrete diversion wall 1 is 500cm long, 80cm wide, and 200-300cm high.

[0029] The reinforced concrete toe pier 2 is 400cm long, 30cm wide, and 30-130cm high.

[0030] The height of the central pier 3 is 450cm, the length is 800cm, and the width is 80cm.

[0031] The aforementioned guide wall 1 is a reinforced concrete structure with a concrete strength grade of not less than C25 and a steel reinforcement grade of III.

[0032] The reinforced concrete structure of the toe pier 2 has a concrete strength grade of not less than C25 and a steel reinforcement grade of [missing information].

[0033] Level III.

[0034] Streamlined shapes can be chosen from various conventional shapes that facilitate the flow of water downstream.

[0035] All other parts not described in detail are existing technology.
