Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] When constructing a concrete structure or a large, heavy concrete building such as an apartment building or a building on the ground, a large number of foundation piles with a required diameter and a specified length are driven into the ground at the construction site as foundation work to support the heavy structure or large building. This invention relates to a technology for constructing these foundation piles by excavating vertical holes using a horizontal hole boring machine used in underground burial pipe construction, reusing the generated soil, adding a solidifying material to form improved soil, and mixing and filling the drilled holes. [Background technology]
[0002] As shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, conventional foundation pile driving work involves installing a PC impact machine or pile driver equipped with a long vertical leader of over 10 m on the site, and using a PC pile driving method or pre-boring method to drive long foundation piles from above ground into the ground while applying impact vibrations until they reach the supporting layer, thereby constructing the foundation piles. Also, when constructing cast-in-place piles, one method involves digging with a boring machine using a large crawler crane, filling the hole with a bentonite solution or the like, and then replacing it with concrete from below using a tremie pipe.
[0003] This conventional foundation pile construction method requires the safe installation of large, tall PC hammers, pile drivers, drilling machines, etc., and requires a large installation space. In addition, there is a risk that the PC hammers and pile drivers will tip over due to earthquakes or wind, destroying surrounding buildings, and they also generate large vibrations and noise at the construction site.
[0004] In addition, with the conventional foundation pile installation method, it was difficult to change the pile diameter or length on-site in response to the properties of the ground below or changes in those properties. Also, the amount of excavated soil particles discharged to the ground during ground excavation work was large, and the subsequent disposal of the excavated soil particles was costly.

Hold The improvement body filling and mixing process involves lifting the tunneling machine and the steel pipe above it to the ground level of the starting platform with a hydraulic jack, separating the flange-connected steel pipes, and recovering the tunneling machine to the ground. The improvement body that was stirred while the tunneling machine was being recovered upward solidifies and forms a wall of the drilled hole with a specified outer diameter and a specified depth that reaches the supporting ground. Attached This is a construction method for on-site foundation piles, which consists of a solidification process in which the concrete foundation piles are attached to the supporting ground and then solidified to complete the on-site concrete foundation piles supported by the supporting ground. 2) A method for constructing foundation piles on site as described in 1) above, in which an annular inner flange is provided that protrudes from the rear edge of the outer shell of the tunneling machine to the inside of the outer shell as a flange connecting the rear edge of the outer shell of the tunneling machine and the lower end edge of the steel pipe serving as a lining immediately above it, and an annular inner flange is provided that protrudes from the respective edges of the upper and lower ends of the steel pipe to the inside of the pipe, and the tunneling machine and the inner flanges that overlap above and below the opposing edges of the steel pipe above them, which are arranged in series in the same vertical direction, are connected to each other detachably with bolts and nuts at the launch pad. 3) The launch pad is on the site ground. FirmlyThe launch platform has a frame structure that holds the tunneling machine and the steel pipe so that the tunneling machine and the steel pipe connected thereto are in the same vertical direction as the pile center position of the foundation pile to be constructed, and the launch platform has a frame structure that holds the tunneling machine and the steel pipe so that the tunneling machine and the steel pipe can move up and down in the same vertical direction.

The vertical tunneling machine and the steel pipes above them are connected to each other with flanges, and then the hydraulic jack device attached to the starting platform is operated to apply a downward force to the uppermost push wheel by the hydraulic jack device to the tunneling machine and the multiple connected steel pipes, while the rotation of the tunneling machine is started. motionBy operating the device, the tunneling machine excavates the ground in a vertical direction with its cutter section, takes in the excavated soil from the soil discharge port of the bulkhead, and temporarily stores the discharged soil in the soil discharge tank via the soil discharge pipe and the vacuum pump on the ground. Also, when the tunneling machine excavates the steel pipe connected to it downward by the length of several pipes, the necessary number of steel pipes are added to the upper end lip of the topmost steel pipe inserted as a lining in the ground of the launching platform so that they are on the same vertical line as the steel pipe pressed into the ground on the launching platform, and the steel pipes are connected to each other with flanges, and then the topmost pipe end of the added steel pipe is lifted up by the hydraulic jack device. The hydraulic jack device is used to press the same vertical line downward with the push wheel while simultaneously operating the tunneling machine to excavate. When the tunneling machine has excavated to a predetermined depth where the ground strength is high, the operation of the hydraulic jack device and the tunneling machine is stopped. The discharged soil from the discharged soil storage tank and the solidification material in the solidification material hopper are mixed in a predetermined ratio in an improved body manufacturing device to produce an improved body. The improved body thus mixed is then pumped into the soil discharge pipe exposed above ground by the improved body pumping device, and the improved body is ejected from the soil discharge port at the lower end while the tunneling machine is operated and stirred with its cutter section. The uppermost steel pipe on the starting platform is then pumped by the hydraulic jack device.

At the same time, the improvement material filled and mixed in the drilled hole is solidified, and becomes a foundation pile that has the advantages of both a high-strength support pile with a long excavation depth that reaches the supporting layer with the diameter of the tunneling machine, and a friction pile that is dense with the surrounding ground, and further, Rooted in The above-mentioned can be used to construct a solid foundation pile. 3) Note On-site construction method for foundation piles 5) The soil used for the improvement body is excavated by the tunneling machine and sent to the ground through the soil discharge pipe, eliminating the need to transport the soil to a treatment plant. ~4) On-site construction method of foundation piles as described in any one of the following is located. Effect of the Invention
[0008] According to the present invention, a tunnel boring machine used in tunnel jacking method is used to drill holes for foundation piles in the ground at the site, and multiple steel pipes that follow it above are flange-connected to a launching platform on the ground, and the boring machine is operated while being placed vertically from the launching platform and pushed down by a hydraulic cylinder, and a hole is excavated in the ground with the cutter at the bottom of the boring machine. Therefore, the method of the present invention makes it possible to carry out construction in narrow spaces, and vibrations and noises that are sensed on the ground are greatly reduced. The soil discharged from the face is taken into the soil discharge pipe through the soil discharge valve inside the boring machine from the soil discharge port in the bulkhead at the bottom of the boring machine, and is transported through the steel pipe to the soil discharge container tank on the ground side.
[0009] Furthermore, whether the tunneling machine has reached a layer with high supporting strength can be accurately confirmed by the rotational load on the cutter, or by measuring devices such as an excavation depth gauge, or by the length of the tunneling machine and the number of steel pipes driven in, and the tunneling machine can be made to reach the supporting layer to the required depth by adding the required number of steel pipes to the tunneling machine with flanges. In this invention, hydraulic jacks are used for the downward pushing and lifting of the tunneling machine and steel pipes, so no noise or vibration is generated. Also, since no expensive machinery is used, it is easy to work in narrow areas.
[0010] When the tunneling machine reaches the supporting layer at a specified depth, the tunneling machine and steel pipe are stopped, and the discharged soil and sand sent to the ground side are mixed with the solidification material in the solidification material hopper installed on the ground side in a specified ratio in a kneading device. The improved soil produced by the mixing is pumped by the pressure pump into the inside of the soil discharge pipe exposed above ground. If the discharged soil generated during excavation is used, it is mixed with the solidification material on the ground and returned to the drilling hole, so most of the discharged soil volume is reused and reduced.
[0011] The pressure-fed improvement body passes through the soil discharge pipe and is discharged to the face from the soil discharge port in the partition at the lower end of the tunneling machine, allowing the face space to be pressurized and filled with the improvement body.
[0012] Moreover, when the tunneling machine is operated in this state and the rotating blade of the cutter at the bottom rotates, this cutter remixes and stirs the improvement mass filled in the face, and the injection pressure at the time of insertion allows it to thoroughly fill in any irregularities or cracks in the pile hole wall. While rotating this rotating blade of the cutter, the hydraulic jack device on the ground slowly lifts the steel pipe connected with the flange and the entire tunneling machine below it above ground. In this way, the concrete strength of the hardened foundation pile is high, ensuring a high quality and also allowing for accurate construction of the pile diameter and depth.
[0013] As the tunneling machine rises, the improvement mass from the soil discharge port is gradually ejected from above while being stirred by the cutter section, filling the pile hole evenly, and the stirring force and injection pressure of the improvement mass allow it to penetrate well into the hole wall. The tunneling machine and the steel pipe above it are all lifted by a hydraulic jack device on a launch pad on the ground. With this method, the tunneling machine and the steel pipe above it are advanced into the ground and lifted to the launch pad using the digging force of the tunneling machine and the propulsion and lifting force of the hydraulic jack device, so no impact or vibration noise is generated and there is almost no pollution from these.
[0014] This process allows the improvement body to be thoroughly mixed with the excavated soil and sand, and to be solidified while being thoroughly filled in the pile hole under pressure and agitation. When the tunneling machine and steel pipe are raised to a starting platform on the ground, the flange connection between the tunneling machine and the upper steel pipe is released and separated, or they are moved to the starting platform for the next foundation pile driving position without being separated.
[0015] When the improvement body is filled into the drilled hole and solidified, the solidified body in the center of the drilled space and the improvement body on the periphery of the pile hole adhere to the cracks and unevenness in the drilled hole wall due to the filling pressure and stirring by the cutter, and the solidified outer periphery solidified body spreads out like branches to become an integrated foundation pile.A foundation pile with a pile diameter the same as the diameter of the tunneling machine's shell and which is strongly integrated with the surrounding ground is created.
[0016] The on-site foundation pile construction method of the present invention provides the following advantages (1) to (13). (1) This is a construction technique that reduces the size of all construction machinery used, while still achieving the same high strength structures and quality as larger machinery. (2) Equipment can be brought in and out even on narrow public roads, and compact size can be achieved. (3) This construction method produces very little noise and vibration. (4) Piles made of steel or concrete prefabricated products are not used. (5) The weight of the tunneling machine itself (outer diameter φ1000mm, the tunneling machine tip weighs about 2.5t, and with an outer diameter of φ800mm it weighs about 2t) means that a mobile crane (10T lifting) is required to hoist the tunneling machine vertically once to set it up, but after that a vehicle such as a 4T truck (lifting truck) can be used to hoist the steel pipe, which makes it possible to reduce the use of construction machinery. (6) It is possible to freely change the drilling diameter (by replacing the tunneling machine) to ensure the bearing capacity for the weight of the building structure above and to deal with changes in the ground, so it is possible to respond flexibly to changes in the ground at the site. This is also an issue or concern that has been a problem with conventional foundation piles, and this construction method is highly adaptable to changes in the ground, the pile length to the supporting layer, and the pile cross-sectional area. (7) When the tunneling machine is pulled up, the improvement body is filled into the tunnel face, which strengthens the adhesion between the hole wall and the surrounding ground and increases the surrounding friction force (utilizing the advantages of both support piles and friction piles). (8) The excavated soil and sand are temporarily stored in a storage tank on the ground surface, and then later mixed and stirred with a cement-based material (solidification material) using a small mixer to convert it into an improved body with high plastic fluidity. This improved body is then refilled into the ground as pile material to construct improved piles. This construction method significantly reduces the amount of soil and soil that is ultimately disposed of, making it a construction technology that greatly reduces the environmental burden. (9) When the tunneling machine performs preliminary excavation while boring a hole in the ground, a reusable flange-fastened steel pipe is used for the following pipe body, and while filling the improvement body into the lowest tunneling machine face, the steel pipe and the tunneling machine are simultaneously pulled up to the ground by the amount of pressure filling to form a pile. The tunneling machine and all of the steel pipes can be recovered to the ground, and this is a cost-reducing construction method that can be reused for the next construction work. (10) The soil discharge system during excavation uses the tunneling machine soil discharge valve (air + rubber valve) used when constructing a horizontal pipeline inside the vertical tunneling machine's subsequent body pipe, and pulls the discharged soil up to the ground surface with a normal suction soil discharge device (vacuum force generator). In this case, since the steel pipe is unmanned, it is necessary to adjust the amount of air supplied, so the air supply steel pipe and soil discharge pipe are installed in parallel inside the steel pipe. In addition, an openable and closable valve is installed on the ground surface to adjust the amount of air supplied. (11) A cement-based solidification material is added to the waste soil generated during excavation (a mixture of natural soil and muddy water from the face). In this case, a mixing and stirring device is used to form a fluid improved mass, which is then reverse-injected into the drainage valve of the tunneling machine using a pressure pump to solidify the face. At this time, the cutter part of the tunneling machine is rotated to further mix the material, allowing the construction of highly uniform piles. (12) In the method of the present invention, the shape and dimensions of the excavated cross section and the reinjection cross section are clearly defined by drilling a hole with a tunneling machine and following steel pipes, etc., and the quality of the improved soil to be filled can be controlled by using test pieces each time. (13) Because a vertical tunneling machine is used, tunneling is carried out with the face pressurized, which means that the impact on the surrounding ground (loosening of the ground, etc.) is very small, and damage and impact to adjacent houses, etc. can be kept to a minimum.

[0021] (Construction process / work procedure) The work will be explained below according to the construction drawings in Figures 18 and 19. 1: A small pit is excavated at the pile position on the ground surface, and a guide 14, which is the pit entrance hardware (entrance), and a grounding frame 10 for the launch pad 1 are installed (see Figures 5 and 18). 2: Install a vertical launch platform 1 on top of the ground frame 10 at the entrance (see Figs. 3 to 5 and 18). 3: Fix the tunneling machine 3 and the upper steel pipe 4 inside the launch pad 1 (see Figures 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 18). 4: An excavation additive plant 60 (mud plant), waste soil storage tank 51, etc. are installed outside the mine. 5: Using the remote control panel, the hydraulic jack device 2 in the vertical launch platform 1 is used to rotate the rotary blade of the cutter unit 34 of the tunneling machine 3 while performing excavation work downward (see Figs. 5 to 9 and 18). 6: At the same time, the hydraulic jack (pull jack) 20 is used to push the tunneling machine 3 into the ground (the tunneling speed is approximately 2 cm / min to 10 cm / min) (see Figures 5 to 9, 18). 7: After the tunneling machine 3 is inserted into the ground, a steel pipe (temporarily about 80 cm to 100 cm long) is connected to the top of the tunneling machine 3 (repeat Figures 6 to 9, see Figure 18). 8: Once the pipe connection work is completed, re-excavation will be carried out (see Figures 6-9 and 18). 9: Once the excavation for the length of the No. 1 steel pipe is completed, change the setup and connect the No. 2 steel pipe (see Figures 6-9, 18, and 19). 10: Repeat the process of adding steel pipes (see Figures 6-9, 18, and 19) 11: After the excavation is completed down to the solid supporting ground SR, the waste soil stored in the waste soil storage tank 51 installed on the ground surface is mixed and mixed with the improved soil manufacturing device 53, which mixes and kneads the solidification material in the solidification material hopper 52, such as cement, to create a fluidized improved soil (see Figures 1, 2, and 19). 12: The improved body is pumped from the ground surface to the tunneling face by the improvement body pressure delivery pump 54, and the excavator 3's soil discharge pipe 36 is reused as a transport pipe to pump the improved body, filling it into the drilled hole (see Figure 19). 13: Depending on the lifting speed of the hydraulic jack device 2 of the tunneling machine 3, the improvement body is continuously pressurized and filled into the hole wall by the improvement body pressure delivery pump 54 (see Figure 19). 14: As soon as each steel pipe has been filled, it is pulled up by the hydraulic jack device 2, and the steel pipes 4 protruding from the launch pad 1 on the ground surface are removed one by one, forming a continuous cast-in-place pile from the bottom of the excavation (see Figure 19). 15: Repeat steps 11 to 13 above to pull the rear of the tunneling machine 3 up to the launch pad 1 on the ground surface (see Figure 19). 16: After the tunneling machine 3 is removed, the vertical launch pad 1 is dismantled and removed. 17: Finally, the tunnel head hardware installed on the surface is removed and one unreinforced cast-in-place pile foundation is completed.
[0022] In this way, construction is possible at the site where the foundation piles are to be constructed as long as a low launch platform and hydraulic jack device can be installed, so construction can be carried out easily and quickly even in a small site. It is safe and produces little noise and vibration, resulting in less pollution. [Industrial Applicability]
[0023] In this invention, multiple foundation piles can be constructed on site in parallel at the same time using multiple launch platforms and hydraulic jack devices, which makes the work easier and also makes it easy to change the pile diameter. [Explanation of symbols]
