Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flood control facilities technology, and in particular to a glass landscape flood control wall structure. Background Technology
[0002] The existing flood control dikes in urban areas are mainly constructed of reinforced concrete and earth-rock. With continuously rising flood control standards, and limited by topography and urban planning, it is necessary to raise and reinforce the existing flood control dikes to meet the new, higher-standard design requirements. Continuing to raise the existing dikes using conventional reinforced concrete or earth-rock methods presents the following problems: 1. The cross-section of concrete and earth-rock dikes is relatively large. After years of development, the riverbanks are densely populated with buildings, making relocation and resettlement difficult, limiting available space for dike construction, and increasing the complexity and investment of the engineering plan; 2. Concrete and earth-rock dike structures obstruct the view of the riverside scenery, hindering the development of a scenic urban landscape. In some cases, even higher dikes are built outside existing buildings, blocking sunlight and creating a sense of oppression.
[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, when the crest elevation of a gravity dam does not meet flood control requirements, a wave wall is typically installed upstream of the dam crest. The wave wall is a reinforced concrete structure, with a road running downstream of the dam crest. Dams are generally located in the suburbs, far from urban areas, and are constructed using integral concrete pouring, offering advantages such as high structural strength, good durability, and long service life. However, a disadvantage is that if this structure is used as a heightened flood wall along urban riverbanks, its appearance is unsightly, and excessive height obstructs the view of the river and hinders residents' enjoyment of the river scenery, thus being incompatible with urban development.

[0023] Example 1:
[0024] This embodiment provides a glass landscape flood control wall structure, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, it includes a foundation 1, multiple support columns 2 and multiple flood control glass baffle units 4.
[0025] The foundation 1 is installed at the top along the axis of the flood control dike that needs to be raised. Multiple support columns 2 are distributed at intervals on the foundation 1. On the sides of the support columns 2 and the top of the foundation 1, there are slots 3 that fit the flood control glass baffle unit 4. The periphery of the flood control glass baffle unit 4 is inserted into the slots 3 and sealed by a sealing element 101. The sealing element 101 can be a sealant or similar material, used to seal the periphery of the flood control glass baffle unit 4 with the slots 3, preventing water seepage and thus serving as a water barrier and flood control measure.
[0026] This embodiment of the glass landscape flood control wall structure uses flood control glass baffle units 4 as water-retaining walls. These units allow pedestrians on the bank to easily view the river through the glass baffles, providing a wider field of vision. This glass landscape flood control wall structure has a small footprint; it is thin and lightweight, requiring less bearing capacity from the original embankment foundation; it is aesthetically pleasing, practical, and environmentally friendly; and it is easy to inspect and maintain. If a flood control glass baffle unit 4 is partially damaged, it can be directly replaced. This effectively solves the shortcomings of existing flood control embankment heightening projects in urban areas.
[0027] In one preferred embodiment, the sealing element 101 is a U-shaped rubber, and the periphery of the flood control glass baffle unit 4 is inserted into the U-shaped rubber. The U-shaped rubber expands when exposed to water, providing a good water-stopping effect.
[0028] Additionally, it should be noted that sealant or similar materials can also be used as sealants to seal the flood control glass baffle unit 4 and the slot 3.
[0029] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the foundation 1 includes a base 11 and a pedestal 12, with the pedestal 12 disposed on the base 11. The width of the base 11 is greater than the width of the pedestal 12, and the base 11 extends relative to the pedestal 12 towards the side away from the river channel, so that the foundation 1 has a stronger supporting function.
[0030] The base 11 is positioned below the road surface to connect with the underlying substrate, providing strong support stability to the foundation 1 and preventing pedestrian obstruction. The flood-proof glass baffle unit 4 is mounted on the base 12. A slot is located on the upper side of the base 12, and the bottom edge of the flood-proof glass baffle unit 4 connects to this slot.
[0031] In one preferred embodiment, foundation 1 is a reinforced concrete foundation 1, and support columns 2 are reinforced concrete support columns 2. During construction, reinforced concrete foundation 1 is first arranged along the top of the flood control dike axis to be heightened, and then reinforced concrete support columns 2 are arranged on the foundation at intervals of 1.5-1.8m, so that foundation 1 and support columns 2 have high load-bearing strength. The width d of support column 2 is 30cm.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the glass landscape flood control wall structure of this embodiment also includes a handrail 6, and a support 5 is provided on the side of the support column 2 facing away from the river channel. The support 5 extends relative to the support column 2 towards the side facing away from the river channel. Figure 2 As shown, the cross-section of support 5 can be trapezoidal, providing strong support. Support 5 is 1.3m above the ground, meeting the height requirements for general human use. Support 5 can be integrally cast with support column 2, or it can be a support block installed on support column 2 via connectors. Handrail 6 is connected to support 5 between support columns 2. Handrail 6 is connected to support 5 via anchoring components. Handrail 6 can be made of wood, which is lightweight, easy to install, and reduces the load on support 5.
[0033] As a preferred embodiment, the flood control glass baffle unit 4 is made of tempered glass, which has good transparency and strength, does not obstruct the view, facilitates the enjoyment of the river view, and is both beautiful and practical.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the distance between two adjacent support columns 2 is 1.5-1.8m, which is more suitable, but it can also be smaller.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the flood control glass baffle unit 4 is preferably square, with a diameter of 1.7-2.0m, but it can also be smaller. The embedding depth of the flood control glass baffle unit 4 in the slot 3 is 100mm. The slot depth is 120mm. The thickness of the flood control glass baffle unit 4 is available in various specifications, ranging from 19mm to 40mm. When the thickness is greater, laminated glass can be used.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the foundation 1 is connected to the existing earth-rock flood control dike 10 by grouting 9. The grouting 9 seeps vertically into the existing earth-rock flood control dike 10 to make the foundation 1 and the existing earth-rock flood control dike 10 firmly connected.
[0037] In this embodiment, the glass landscape flood control wall structure has a municipal road 7 on the side of the foundation 1 facing away from the river, and a building 8 on the other side of the municipal road. The municipal road 7 provides a space for people to walk, move around, and relax. People walking on the municipal road 7 can enjoy the river view through the flood control glass baffle unit 4. Figure 2As shown, the original road width range is a, the road width range after the height increase is b, and the exposed glass height c is 1.5-1.8m.
[0038] This embodiment employs a transparent landscape flood control dike structure combining glass and supporting columns. This structure is safe and reliable, occupies little space, is easy to construct, aesthetically pleasing and practical, requires low investment, and is convenient to inspect and maintain. It effectively solves the shortcomings of existing flood control dike structures, such as large footprint, lack of aesthetic appeal, high investment, and inconvenient inspection and maintenance.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art without departing from the inventive concept of the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
