Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model patent belongs to the technical field of gully source slope support structure, specifically relating to a gully source erosion protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the main protective structure for upstream erosion in gullies is the valley dam. While this structure and measure have proven effective in engineering practice, they each have limitations depending on topography and hydrological conditions. Furthermore, due to the steepness of the upstream erosion slopes along the gully banks, the impact range of the valley dam backfill counterpressure is limited. The following problems exist with previous structures and solutions:
[0003] 1. Insufficient adaptability to terrain: Traditional retaining structures (such as valley dams) rely on flat foundations or stable bedrock, but valley terrain is often steep with severely eroded bedrock, making foundation conditions difficult to consider. The structure is prone to overall failure due to foundation deformation or lateral sliding instability;
[0004] 2. Mismatch between impact resistance and scale: Source erosion is often accompanied by small-scale collapses or mixed impacts of water and debris flow at multiple points. Traditional structures have limited energy resistance to a single impact, so multi-stage energy dissipation structures are required.
[0005] 3. The coupling of water and debris flow damages the gully, making it prone to forming debris flows during the rainy season. The water flow erodes and hollows out the structural foundation, while simultaneously carrying away rocks, exacerbating the impact. Traditional structures lack coordinated protection against the hydrodynamic forces. The retaining structure tilts or collapses due to water erosion.
[0006] 4. At the same time, traditional retaining structures do not take into account or do not consider the steep slope of the dam crest adequately. Large-scale slope cutting / releasing can easily lead to the collapse and instability of the dam crest slope.
[0007] Therefore, this utility model proposes a channel erosion protection structure. Utility Model Content
[0008] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a gully erosion protection structure that combines the functions of a pile dam and a secondary dam to develop a gully erosion protection barrier structure, thus solving the problem of preventing and controlling geological disasters caused by gully erosion.
[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a channel erosion protection structure, which is divided into several groups of protection structures distributed from top to bottom in the channel. Each group of protection structures also includes a pile dam support structure set in the upstream of the channel, a secondary dam structure set in the downstream of the channel, and a trapezoidal stilling basin connecting the pile dam support structure and the secondary dam structure. The pile dam support structure also includes anti-slide piles, a continuous wall, and a baffle. The anti-slide piles are arranged in two or more in the channel. The continuous wall connects the adjacent anti-slide piles from the bottom of the channel bed. The baffle is set in front of the anti-slide piles and above the continuous wall.
[0010] Preferably, the anti-slide piles can be square piles with a cross-section of 1.25×1.75m, a pile spacing of 4~5m, a pile length of 10~15m, and an exposed length of 6~7m.
[0011] Preferably, the continuous wall is 0.8-1.2m thick, 1.8-2.1m wide at the top, and made of C20 concrete.
[0012] Preferably, the continuous wall is 0.8-1.2m thick, 1.8-2.1m wide at the top, and made of C20 concrete.
[0013] Preferably, the stilling basin is provided with retaining walls along the slope of the terrain on both sides, with a top width of 0.5~1.0m, a back slope ratio of 1:0.25, a front slope ratio of 1:0.40, and a bottom slab of 0.5m thick C20 concrete.
[0014] Preferably, the secondary dam structure is configured as a valley-shaped dam, with a dam crest width of 0.8-1.2m, a back slope ratio of 1:0.40, a front slope ratio of 1:0.10, and C20 concrete as the wall material.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model primarily aims to prevent geological disasters caused by headward erosion of gullies. It utilizes a pile dam support structure as the main support structure, with a continuous wall at the bottom of the gully bed connecting the anti-slide piles within the pile dam support structure. This prevents lateral sliding of individual anti-slide piles and improves the overall stability of the pile dam. A downstream secondary dam structure prevents downcutting erosion of the gully bed in front of the dam, ensuring the overall stability of the protective structure. This expands the impact range of the counter-pressure backfill while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing and harmonious appearance. The technology is mature, facilitating construction and subsequent maintenance. Attached Figure Description

In the construction project, drainage holes or drainage tunnels need to be reserved.
