Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] refer to Figures 1-9As shown, a deep foundation pit ladder cage reinforcement platform is provided. This embodiment is applicable to scenarios where the ladder cage is located close to the foundation pit wall. It includes a pit opening beam 1, foundation pit wall 2, foundation pit bottom 3, ladder cage section 4, support beam 5, inter-section tie rope 6, connecting plate 7, front tie rope 8, rear stabilizing beam 9, steel pipe pile 10, corbel 11, platform beam 12, and hanging plate 13.

[0037] The pit opening beam 1, the pit wall 2, and the pit bottom 3 are the completed architectural structures of the pit itself. The ladder cage section 4 consists of several sections, which are spliced ​​together to form a complete ladder cage. The ladder cage provides passage for pit workers to move up and down, enabling safe and efficient pit construction operations.

[0038] The ladder cage section 4 is equipped with a hanging plate 13, which is hung on the platform beam 12. That is, the lower platform beam 12 supports a certain ladder cage section 4, improving the overall safety and stability of the ladder cage. At the same time, the hanging plate 13 can limit the ladder cage to prevent it from shifting or shaking.

[0039] The platform beam 12 is located between the front steel pipe pile 10 and the rear corbel 11. The steel pipe pile 10 is located on the bottom 3 of the foundation pit, and the corbel 11 is located on the foundation pit wall 2. Through the steel pipe pile 10 and the corbel 11, the load of the platform beam 12 is transferred to the foundation pit itself, and the foundation pit can ensure the stable placement of the platform beam 12.

[0040] Support beams 5 are provided between the pit opening beams 1. Support beams 5 are connected to the ladder cage sections 4 by inter-segment tie ropes 6. Inter-segment tie ropes 6 are connected between the interval ladder cage sections 4. Several ladder cage sections 4 form a section. Support beams 5 lift the uppermost ladder cage section 4 and lift adjacent ladder cage sections 4. Inter-segment tie ropes 6 realize the transmission of lifting force and ensure the lifting support of the entire ladder cage.

[0041] Hanging plate 13 is hung on support beam 5, that is, the uppermost cage section 4 is supported by the upper support beam 5, which improves the overall safety and stability of the cage. The pithead beam 1 is a reinforced concrete beam, the support beam 5 is an I-beam, and the inter-section tie rope 6 is a steel wire rope, which is tied to the connecting pipe 402 of the cage section 4.

[0042] The foundation pit wall 2 is equipped with a connecting plate 7 (steel waler). A front pull rope 8 is connected between the connecting plate 7 and the front end of the ladder cage section 4. The front pull rope 8 pulls on the front end of the ladder cage section 4 to ensure its stability and prevent it from shifting or swaying. A rear stabilizing beam 9 is connected between the connecting plate 7 and the rear end of the ladder cage section 4. The rear stabilizing beam 9 supports the rear end of the ladder cage section 4, also to ensure its stability and prevent it from shifting or swaying.

[0043] The connecting plate 7 is a double-section I-beam, installed simultaneously during the construction of the steel waler. The front tie rope 8 is a steel wire rope, and the rear stabilizing beam 9 is a double-section channel steel. A pull ring 701 is welded to the connecting plate 7. The rear end of the front tie rope 8 is tied to the pull ring 701, and the front end of the front tie rope 8 is tied to the column 401 of the cage section 4. The front end of the rear stabilizing beam 9 is welded to the pipe beam 403 of the cage section 4, and the rear end of the rear stabilizing beam 9 is welded to the connecting plate 7.

[0044] The ladder cage section 4 includes columns 401, connecting pipes 402, pipe beams 403, ladder platforms 404, and step ladders 405. The columns 401, connecting pipes 402, and pipe beams 403 are all made of square steel. Several columns 401 are arranged vertically, preferably four at the four corners. The upper end of each column 401 is bolted to the connecting pipe 402 of the upper section, and the lower end of each column 401 is bolted to the connecting pipe 402 of the same section. Pipe beams 403 are welded between the columns 401, and ladder platforms 404 are welded between the pipe beams 403. Step ladders 405 are bolted between the ladder platforms 404 of the upper section and the ladder platforms 404 of the same section. A stable scaffolding 406 is provided between the bottom of the ladder cage section 4 and the bottom of the pit 3 to maintain the relative stability of the bottom of the ladder cage section 4 and the soil surface.

[0045] The corbel 11 is a reinforced concrete corbel, and the rebar 1101 of corbel 11 is located inside the retaining pile. In this embodiment, the platform support consists of two steel pipe piles and two corbels. When the earthwork is excavated to the corresponding elevation, down-the-hole drill is used for drilling with casing. After reaching the design depth, concrete is poured into the steel pipe to increase its rigidity, forming a steel pipe pile. Reinforced concrete corbels are constructed simultaneously with the retaining wall of the foundation pit near the retaining piles. The rebar is connected to the retaining piles through rebar installation (the rebar installation meets relevant specifications), and two corbels are installed. The elevation and distance of the corbel surfaces correspond to the supporting column piles.

[0046] The platform beam 12 includes a platform crossbeam and platform longitudinal beams. The platform crossbeam is fixed between the front steel pipe pile 10 and the rear corbel 11. The front end of the platform crossbeam is welded and fixed to a connecting steel plate embedded in the steel pipe pile 10, and the rear end of the platform crossbeam is welded and fixed to a connecting steel plate embedded in the corbel 11. The platform longitudinal beams are welded between the platform crossbeams.

[0047] The cage has one steel section on each side. The steel section perpendicular to the direction of the adjacent foundation pit is connected to the steel pipe pile and the corbel respectively. The steel section is welded to the steel pipe pile. The steel section parallel to the direction of the adjacent foundation pit is welded to the steel section in another direction to increase the overall rigidity.

[0048] Hanging plates 13 are hung on the platform crossbeams and / or platform longitudinal beams to support the ladder cage section 4 from the front and rear and / or left and right. Hanging plates 13 are T-shaped and made of steel plates. The horizontal flanges of the hanging plate T-shape are connected to the connecting pipes and columns of the ladder cage section by high-strength bolts and are located at the four corners of the ladder cage. The vertical flanges of the hanging plate T-shape are hung on the structural steel to reinforce the ladder cage.

[0049] The assembly steps for the ladder cage reinforced platform are as follows: steel pipe pile driving (platform support bracket construction) → platform beam steel installation → ladder cage frame and hanging plate connection → ladder cage smoothly connected with earthwork excavation.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] refer to Figures 6-14 As shown, a reinforced platform for deep foundation pits with ladder cages is provided. This embodiment is suitable for scenarios where the ladder cage is located far from the foundation pit wall. The difference from the previous embodiment is that the platform beam 12 is positioned between the front and rear steel pipe piles 10. In this embodiment, the platform support consists of four steel pipe piles, with the platform crossbeam specifically positioned between the front and rear steel pipe piles 10.

[0052] Everything else is the same as in Example 1.

[0053] The foregoing basic examples and their further alternative examples can be freely combined to form multiple embodiments, all of which are embodiments that can be adopted and claimed in this application. In the scheme of this application, each alternative example can be arbitrarily combined with any other basic example and alternative example.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
