Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular to a lockable steel pipe pile socket-type grooved cofferdam structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of deep-buried bridge pier caps across major rivers located on floodplains, cofferdams are an indispensable temporary structure to ensure slope stability and effective water stoppage during construction. Currently, in China, technologies such as concrete caisson cofferdams, double-walled steel cofferdams, sheet pile cofferdams, interlocked steel pipe pile cofferdams, and bored pile cofferdams are commonly used for constructing deep foundation pit pier caps. However, interlocked steel pipe pile cofferdams have limitations.
[0003] Existing technology for interlocking steel pipe pile cofferdams involves an outer perimeter constructed from several interlocking steel pipes, with supporting steel pipes inside and a concrete bottom lining. The cofferdam is used for constructing pile holes, foundations, and piers. When construction of a foundation in one area is completed, and construction of an adjacent foundation is needed, the cofferdam needs to be extended on one side to widen the construction area for another foundation and pier. This process requires additional interlocking steel pipes to be spliced into the existing interlocking steel pipes of the cofferdam. However, on existing structures such as foundations or existing interlocking steel pipes, the newly spliced interlocking steel pipes are difficult to anchor stably, precise positioning is challenging, and the water-stopping effect is poor. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4The present invention proposes a locking steel pipe 20 pile socket type groove cofferdam 10 structure. The cofferdam 10 is surrounded by a number of locking steel pipes 20. The cofferdam 10 is equipped with supporting steel pipes 30 inside. The bottom of the cofferdam 10 is covered with concrete, and the bottom of the concrete is equipped with construction pile holes 40 and pile caps 60. The pile caps 60 are used to arrange bridge piers 70. The cofferdam 10 is equipped with a reserved concrete groove 80, which extends to the opposite sides of the cofferdam 10. The reserved concrete groove 80 is provided with a receiving groove 81 along the extension direction. The locking steel pipes 20 can be inserted into the receiving groove 81 and locked with the locking steel pipes 20 on the opposite sides of the cofferdam 10. The receiving groove 81 is filled with mortar.
[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By pre-embedded in the concrete bottom of the cofferdam 10 with a reserved concrete groove with a receiving groove 81, the precise insertion and anchoring of the new and old interlocking steel pipe 20 piles are achieved, effectively improving the overall stability of the structure; the tight interlocking interface formed by the receiving groove 81 and the interlocking steel pipe 20 forms multiple water-stop barriers after being sealed with mortar, greatly enhancing the seepage prevention performance at the joint; the standardized design of the reserved groove means that there is no need for on-site cutting and modification during the extension construction of the cofferdam 10, which shortens the construction cycle and reduces material consumption, and is particularly suitable for continuous construction scenarios with multiple pile caps 60 in deep water areas of tidal flats; in addition, this structure, through the combination of prefabrication and cast-in-place methods, not only retains the advantages of the traditional interlocking steel pipe 20 cofferdam 10 in terms of high rigidity and strong support, but also innovatively solves the problem of existing structural connection, and has comprehensive technical advantages of convenient construction, controllable quality, economy and environmental protection.
[0030] In this embodiment, the reserved concrete trough 80 can be installed above the foundation 60. The reserved concrete trough installed above the foundation 60 can avoid conflict between the reserved trough and the existing foundation 60 structure, and can also use the self-weight of the foundation 60 to enhance the anchoring stability of the reserved trough.
[0031] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 81 is an inverted "П"-shaped elongated groove structure. The cross-section of the inverted "П"-shaped elongated groove matches the outer contour height of the locking steel pipe 20, increasing the contact area between the steel pipe and the groove, and improving shear resistance through the complementary interlocking of geometric shapes.
[0032] In this embodiment, the reserved concrete trough 80 is made of reinforced concrete. The precast reserved trough is made of reinforced concrete, and the internal reinforcement enhances the bending stiffness of the trough, avoiding trough deformation caused by deep water pressure or soil compression. The synergistic effect of concrete and steel can disperse local stress and extend the service life of the trough, which is especially suitable for the engineering needs of repeatedly extending the cofferdam 10 under the complex geological conditions of the tidal flat area.
[0033] In this embodiment, the cofferdam 10 is arranged in a rectangular ring structure; a pre-reserved concrete trough 80 is set inside the cofferdam 10 along the width direction. The rectangular ring structure of the cofferdam 10 forms a closed force system, which, together with the pre-reserved trough in the width direction, allows the newly added steel pipe piles to be symmetrically distributed on both sides during the extension construction of the cofferdam 10, maintaining the overall center of gravity balance of the cofferdam 10; the regular internal space of the ring structure is conducive to the arrangement of the supporting steel pipe 30 system and the positioning of the pile cap 60, improving the stability during the deep foundation pit excavation stage.
[0034] Furthermore, the pier cap 60 is designed as a rectangular base. The rectangular pier cap 60 and the rectangular annular cofferdam 10 are spatially adapted to each other, optimizing the transmission path of the supporting force within the cofferdam 10.
[0035] In this embodiment, several construction pile holes 40 are provided and evenly distributed below the pile cap 60. The even distribution of the construction pile holes 40 below the pile cap 60 ensures that the pile load is evenly transferred to the foundation, avoiding differential settlement caused by local stress concentration.
[0036] Specifically, a bottom sealing concrete layer 50 is installed between the foundation 60 and the cofferdam 10. The bottom sealing concrete layer 50 between the foundation 60 and the cofferdam 10 fills the structural gap and forms a continuous waterproof interface to prevent groundwater from seeping into the foundation pit along the inner wall of the cofferdam 10.
[0037] In this embodiment, the cofferdam 10 is provided with at least two layers of supporting steel pipes 30 along the longitudinal direction. The longitudinal multi-layer supporting steel pipes 30 form a three-dimensional support frame, which constrains the lateral deformation of the cofferdam 10 by layer and adapts to the high water and soil pressure during the construction of the deep-buried foundation 60; the multi-layer support can apply prestress in sections, dynamically adjust the stress state of the cofferdam 10, avoid the overload failure of a single layer support, and significantly improve the safety of deep foundation pit excavation.
[0038] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
