Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of geotechnical engineering support technology, and in particular to a steel sheet pile support structure for foundation pits in linear projects such as culverts and trenches in municipal engineering. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of urban roads, pipelines, and other infrastructure, it is often necessary to excavate trenches on the ground to lay culverts or cables. To ensure construction safety and the stability of the surrounding environment, steel sheet piles are usually used as temporary retaining structures. When the excavation depth is large, the embedding effect of steel sheet piles alone is insufficient to resist lateral earth pressure and water pressure, and a transverse internal bracing system must be installed inside the excavation pit.
[0003] The existing conventional practice is to install two welded I-beams or H-beams as walers along the inner side of the sheet piles to collect and transfer the pressure on the sheet piles. In the width direction of the excavation pit, large-diameter, thick-walled steel pipes (e.g., 219mm or 325mm in diameter) are used as bracing members to transfer the pressure to the other side of the pit. The connection between these bracing pipes and the walers usually needs to be welded on-site, and sometimes stiffening ribs are also welded in to ensure the strength of the connection.
[0004] This traditional support method has the following serious drawbacks: High cost: The large amount of materials used for double-section I-beams and heavy steel pipes results in high unit prices and extremely heavy components, which in turn increases the cost of transportation and hoisting machinery, leading to high overall costs.
[0005] Low efficiency: The components are bulky, requiring precise coordination with large lifting equipment during installation, making the operation difficult. On-site welding procedures are complex, consuming a lot of manpower and time, and the welding quality is easily affected by weather, site conditions, and the skill level of the welders, becoming a bottleneck restricting the construction progress.
[0006] Installation and disassembly are difficult: When dismantling the rigid connection formed by welding, methods such as flame cutting must be used, which is cumbersome and slow. Moreover, the cutting process will cause irreversible damage to the component itself, which seriously affects the number of times the steel can be reused and its value.
[0007] Safety and environmental risks: Hot work operations such as welding and gas cutting at construction sites not only pose fire safety hazards, but also generate a large amount of smoke and arc light, which have adverse effects on the health of workers and the surrounding environment.
[0008] Therefore, developing a steel sheet pile foundation pit support structure that is simple in structure, low in cost, quick to construct, safe and environmentally friendly has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide an easy-to-install and disassemble steel sheet pile support structure for culvert foundation pits. This structure adopts lightweight and standardized components and achieves efficient installation and disassembly of the support system through innovative mechanical connection methods, thereby reducing costs, shortening the construction period, and improving safety.

[0013] Preferably, the supporting steel pipes 4 and 7 are arranged with matching bolt holes 9 at 90-degree intervals.
[0014] Preferably, the channel steel 6 and the steel pipe 7 are connected by welding, and stiffening ribs 8 are provided at the connection every 90 degrees, with a total of 4 stiffening ribs 8 provided at the connection between the channel steel 6 and the steel pipe 7.
[0015] Preferably, the contact surface between the channel steel 6 and the channel steel waler 2 is designed in a wedge shape, and the contact surface is sandblasted.
[0016] Preferably, the wedge-shaped design of the contact surface between the channel steel 6 and the channel steel waler 2 is 3°-5°, and the contact surface is sandblasted to a roughness of Ra12.5-25μm.
[0017] Preferably, the contact surface between the channel steel 6 and the channel steel waler 2 is coated with a friction-enhancing coating, which is composed of diamond powder and epoxy resin, so that the static friction coefficient reaches 0.45-0.55.
[0018] Preferably, the channel steel waler 2 is a channel steel of type [22a].
[0019] Preferably, the sheet pile 1 is a Larssen sheet pile, with a pile length 2-3 meters deeper than the foundation pit and a foundation pit width not exceeding 6 meters.
[0020] The construction method of the easily installable and disassembled steel sheet pile support structure for culvert foundation pits described in this utility model is as follows: 1) Survey and set out, drive 1 sheet pile; 2) Install the channel steel waler 2 and temporarily fix it; 3) Install the counter-bracing system 3 and adjust the support length to the design value; 4) Tighten bolt 10; 5) Monitoring of foundation pit excavation and support.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The use of lightweight material combination (steel pipe + channel steel) reduces the weight by more than 23.5% compared with traditional support structures, thereby reducing material costs and transportation difficulties; 2. The unique earth pressure interlocking design eliminates the need for additional connectors between the channel steel and the waler, simplifying the installation process and improving construction efficiency; 3. Modular length adjustment device, which can adapt to different pit widths and has strong versatility; 4.

Fast construction speed: all components are standardized designs, enabling mass production in factories, stable quality, and strong interchangeability. Bolted connections are completely non-destructive and reversible, ensuring that all steel components can be dismantled and recycled intact after the project is completed, achieving nearly 100% reuse, greatly saving social resources, improving efficiency by more than 3 times compared to traditional methods, and reducing overall costs by more than 30%.
