When a component is considered "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a cofferdam for river management projects includes two Larssen piles 1 driven into the bottom in sequence, consisting of a silt layer 8, a loam layer 9, and a clay layer 10. A pile top beam 2 is welded to the upper outer side of each of the two Larssen piles 1. A beam support plate 7 is welded to the lower part of the pile top beam 2 on the outer side of the Larssen pile 1. The pile top beams 2 of the two Larssen piles 1 are connected and fixed by steel tie rods 3.

[0022] The top beam 2 and Larsen pile 1 are connected by welding. The weld is full. Before welding, rust, oil and debris at the welding point are removed.

[0023] The connection between the steel tie rod 3 and the pile top beam 2 is strong and reliable.

[0024] Upstream of Larsen pile 1, above the silt layer 8, there is a ballast stone 4; downstream of Larsen pile 1, above the silt layer 8, there is a ballast bagged soil 5; and the entire cross-section inside both Larsen piles 1 is filled with bagged soil 6.

[0025] The requirements for the ballast stones in ballast 4 are as follows: natural density > 2400 kg / m³, easily calcifiable stones and weathered stones are not allowed, mud content of the stones should not exceed 1%, maximum water absorption rate ≤ 10%, saturated compressive strength > 30 MPa, and softening coefficient > 0.75. The particle size and weight of the stones to be ballasted must meet the requirements of the design drawings. Stones with a particle size of 0.15-0.5 μm should be used for ballasting, with a single stone weighing 20-70 kg. Before ballasting, stones should be ballasted sequentially from upstream to downstream, with larger stones covering smaller stones.

[0026] 5. Before filling and dumping bagged soil, tree roots, stones and other debris should be removed from the riverbed at the bottom of the weir.

[0027] 5. For the ballast bagged soil and 6. for the filling bagged soil, polypropylene ecological bags should be used. The soil inside the bags should be loose, cohesive soil and should not contain stones, garbage, wood or other debris.

[0028] The inner side of Larssen pile 1 is covered with colored tarpaulin along its height. The tarpaulin is made of double-layered polyethylene tarpaulin for engineering use, and the geotextile is 120g / m². 2 The tensile strength indicators are: warp strength ≥2100N / 5cm, weft strength ≥1600N / 5cm; it is waterproof, with a water pressure resistance value ≥2000mm water column, can withstand low temperatures, with a cold resistance temperature of -20℃, and is mildew-proof, with a mildew resistance test grade of level 1.

[0029] Larsen pile 1 is 15m long, the top elevation of Larsen pile 1 is 3.6m, and the distance between two Larsen piles 1 is 6m.

[0030] The diameter of the steel tie rod 3 is 40mm, and the spacing between two adjacent steel tie rods 3 is 0.8m.

[0031] The crossbeam support plate 7 has a triangular structure, with dimensions of 0.5×0.5m and a thickness of 14mm.

[0032] The bottom elevation of the pile top beam 2 is 2.28m.

[0033] This utility model has a simple structure. Through the steel reinforcement rod 3, the ballast stone 4, the ballast bag soil 5, and the filling bag soil 6, it can ensure the overall stability of the cofferdam in all aspects, and improve the strength and performance of the cofferdam.

[0034] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or direct application to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
