[0002] In construction projects involving deep, fractured, and hard rock formations, conventional seepage prevention and reinforcement methods have numerous limitations. For example, while traditional grouting can fill fissures, it is difficult to form a continuous seepage-proof structure, and the grout is prone to loss; high-pressure jet grouting is prone to borehole wall collapse in fractured rock formations, leading to construction interruptions; and anchor bolt support can only provide localized reinforcement and cannot effectively block groundwater seepage. These methods cannot simultaneously meet the dual requirements of seepage prevention and reinforcement, resulting in frequent safety hazards and affecting construction progress and quality.

[0003] Therefore, this application aims to provide a seepage prevention and reinforcement structure for deep fractured hard rock strata to better solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, the drainage body includes a vertically arranged drainage plate and a horizontally arranged drainage pipe. The drainage plate is inserted into the rock stratum fissure, the top of the drainage plate is connected to the horizontal drainage pipe, and the end of the drainage pipe not connected to the drainage plate is connected to the filter section.

[0024] See Figure 1The deep fractured hard rock strata seepage prevention and reinforcement structure described in this embodiment consists of three parts: a seepage prevention layer 1, a reinforcement component 2, and a drainage system 3. The seepage prevention layer 1 is fixed to the surface of the rock strata. The reinforcement component 2 includes an assembled sleeve 21 and a rigid rib 22. The assembled sleeve 21 is connected to the rigid rib 22 and fixed to the rock strata to form a grid-like reinforcement skeleton. The drainage system 3 is provided with a drainage body 31 and a filter part 32. The drainage body 31 is inserted into the rock strata fissures, and the filter part 32 is connected to the drainage body 31.

[0025] This embodiment has a simple structure and reasonable design. By fixing the seepage-proof layer 1 to the surface of the rock stratum, groundwater can be directly blocked from seeping in through the surface of the rock stratum, forming the first seepage barrier. The prefabricated sleeve 21 is connected to the rigid reinforcement 22 to enhance the overall stability of the fractured rock stratum and prevent local collapse or deformation. The drainage system 3 guides the groundwater in the rock stratum fissures to the filter section 32 for discharge, reducing the destructive effect of water pressure on the rock stratum and preventing water accumulation from softening the rock stratum. Thus, through seepage prevention, reinforcement and drainage, a better seepage prevention and reinforcement effect is achieved.

[0026] In some embodiments, the impermeable layer 1 is configured as a double-layer HDPE membrane 11 with a GCL waterproof pad 12 sandwiched in between.

[0027] Specifically, the double-layer HDPE membrane 11 is hot-melt welded and anchored to the rock layer by expansion bolts, and the double-layer HDPE membrane 11 is fixed to the drainage body 31 by rivets.

[0028] In this embodiment, a double-layer HDPE membrane 11 is used to avoid the risk of leakage caused by single-layer damage. GCL (bentonite waterproof blanket) is used as the middle layer. It expands when it comes into contact with water to form a dense colloid, which fills the seams or minor defects of HDPE membrane 11 and effectively enhances the reliability of seepage prevention.

[0029] In some embodiments, the prefabricated sleeve 21 is grouted and fixed to the rock stratum, the rigid reinforcement 22 is fixed to the prefabricated sleeve 21 by welding, and the rigid reinforcement 22 and the prefabricated sleeve 21 are covered with a concrete curing layer.

[0030] Specifically, the assembled sleeve 21 is made of seamless steel pipe, and the rigid rib 22 is made of threaded steel.

[0031] In this embodiment, the grout fills the gaps between the casing and the rock strata, forming an anchoring force to prevent the casing from loosening or being pulled out. The rigid reinforcement 22 is welded and fixed, making the casing and the reinforcement a whole, jointly bearing the stress of the rock strata, avoiding local stress concentration that could lead to fracture. The concrete curing layer covers the reinforcement component 2 to protect it from groundwater corrosion, while also enhancing the rigidity of the grid skeleton and suppressing rock strata displacement, thereby achieving a better reinforcement effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, the drainage body 31 includes a vertically arranged drainage plate and a horizontally arranged drainage pipe. The drainage plate is inserted into a rock fissure, the top of the drainage plate is connected to the horizontal drainage pipe, and the end of the drainage pipe not connected to the drainage plate is connected to the filter section 32.

[0033] Specifically, the filter section 32 is made of gravel with a particle size of 5-10mm wrapped in geotextile, which is used to prevent mud and sand from clogging the drainage pipe.

[0034] In this embodiment, a drainage board is inserted into the rock fissures to quickly collect groundwater and reduce the retention time of water in the fissures. The end of the drainage pipe is connected to a filter 32 to prevent silt from entering the drainage system 3, avoid clogging the pipe, and ensure long-term drainage efficiency.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
