[0001] This invention relates to a method for designing and constructing a data center cluster based on a barrel foundation, applicable to the field of submarine data center construction technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening of the "New Infrastructure" strategy, submarine data centers, as an important branch of green digital infrastructure, are becoming a cutting-edge field in the integration of global marine economy and information technology. Compared with traditional land-based data centers, submarine data centers demonstrate unique value in coastal economic zones and areas with high computing power demand due to their energy-saving advantages of natural seawater cooling, low-latency data transmission characteristics, and potential for saving land resources. In recent years, domestic and foreign companies have launched several pilot projects for submarine data centers, verifying their technical feasibility. However, the demand for large-scale and clustered development has placed higher demands on the engineering of submarine data centers—how to achieve efficient connection between data center clusters and shore-based resources in complex marine environments, ensure convenient access for personnel, vehicles, and equipment, and guarantee long-term stable operation has become the core bottleneck restricting its large-scale promotion.
[0003] Starting from the connection between the barrel foundation and the submarine utility tunnel, this paper studies the design and construction methods of data center clusters, solves the problem of connecting submarine data centers with onshore resources, and proposes a design and construction method for data center clusters using a barrel foundation. Summary of the Invention

It provides a barrel-based foundation data center cluster design and construction method that can facilitate the access of personnel, vehicles and equipment, and ensure long-term stable operation. It can be widely applied in the field of submarine data center construction technology.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A data center cluster with a barrel-shaped foundation includes a barrel-shaped foundation structure cluster, a submarine utility tunnel cluster, a dedicated connecting structure, and a trestle fixed to the shore at one end. The barrel-shaped foundation structure cluster includes multiple barrel-shaped foundation structures, each being a large-diameter concrete cylinder internally divided into compartments by partition walls. The submarine utility tunnel cluster includes multiple submarine utility tunnels, each equipped with multiple first-type connectors for connection to other submarine utility tunnels. Each submarine utility tunnel connects to the barrel-shaped foundation structure using second-type connectors. When connecting the submarine utility tunnel to the barrel-shaped foundation structure, a dedicated connecting structure is provided on the bottom side of the barrel-shaped foundation structure. This dedicated connecting structure uses GINA and OMEGA waterstops and incorporates OMEGA waterstop mounting components. The other end of the trestle connects to the top of the barrel-shaped foundation structure.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the special connection structure and the partition wall of the barrel foundation structure are located on the same plane.
[0008] A bucket-based data center cluster design methodology includes the following steps:
[0009] S101. Structural deformation stability calculation of the trestle under human and vehicle load conditions;
[0010] S102. Stress and deformation stability calculation of barrel foundation structure cluster under marine environment and seismic action, and the planning of internal space size should take into account the transfer of people, vehicles and maintenance equipment.

[0014] S106 Settlement optimization analysis and further optimization layout of barrel foundation structure cluster and submarine pipe gallery cluster.
[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step S105, the reinforcement amount is obtained through the following steps:
[0016] 1) Calculate the standard deviation parameter for each soil layer. When the standard deviation is greater than the threshold σ, T At that time, the standard deviation was used as input to evaluate the cost of foundation reinforcement;
[0017] 2) When using crushed stone foundation treatment, determine the total scope of crushed stone foundation treatment and reinforcement volume based on the width and depth of foundation reinforcement;
[0018] 3) When using mixing piles for reinforcement, determine the spacing, depth, and diameter parameters of the mixing piles, and determine the total amount of mixing pile reinforcement.
[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, in step S106, the subsea utility tunnel cluster settlement optimization analysis includes the following steps:
[0020] 1) Based on the layout of the submarine utility tunnel cluster and the distribution of the connection between the barrel foundation structure and multiple submarine utility tunnels, determine the sub-clusters of the data center cluster.
[0021] 2) Based on the preset cross-sectional parameters of the barrel foundation structure and the submarine pipe gallery structure, calculate the self-weight and ballast parameters of the barrel foundation structure and the submarine pipe gallery structure.
[0022] 3) Calculate the average foundation load of the submarine utility tunnel foundation and the average foundation load of the barrel foundation structure, using the load as the input parameter.
[0023] 4) The calculated settlement of the subsea utility tunnel and the barrel foundation structure is used as input, and the initial iterative settlement of the subsea utility tunnel and the barrel foundation structure is set to 0.
[0024] 5) Based on the structure of each sub-cluster, establish a numerical model for settlement calculation according to the submarine pipe gallery and barrel foundation structure;
[0025] 6) Establish a settlement calculation model for multi-layered soil, calculate the settlement at different locations of the submarine pipe gallery and the barrel foundation structure, and calculate the final settlement of the sub-cluster structure.
[0026] 7) Calculate the settlement of the sub-cluster structure submarine pipe gallery and the barrel foundation structure. When the difference between the two settlements meets the preset parameters, terminate the iteration; if the requirements are not met, adjust the overall size parameters of the barrel foundation and the bottom foundation, and repeat steps 3) to 7).
[0027] 8) Determine the overall dimensions of the sub-cluster structure submarine utility tunnel and barrel foundation structure;
[0028] 9) Based on the optimized parameters and deformation of each sub-cluster structure, the differences in settlement and displacement deformation between sub-clusters are analyzed; the optimization objective is to reduce the differential settlement between adjacent sub-clusters.
[0029] 10) Calculate the overall differential settlement standard deviation. If the standard deviation does not meet the preset requirements, adjust the sub-cluster division based on the subsea tunnel settlement data at different locations of each sub-cluster and redetermine the sub-cluster system scope; restart the iterative analysis from step 1); terminate when the requirements are met.
[0030] A method for constructing a bucket-based data center cluster includes the following steps:
[0031] S201. Offshore construction of trestle pile foundations, pile caps, crossbeams, longitudinal beams, and prestressed beams;
[0032] S202, Construction of the lower foundation of the barrel foundation structure and the submarine pipe gallery;
[0033] S203. Construction of the barrel foundation structure: The barrel foundation structure is transported by floating on water using tugboats to the installation position, and the ballast well is filled with water to sink it. After sinking to the designated position, the boulders and torsion blocks are installed to prevent disturbance.
[0034] S204. The installation of the submarine utility tunnel in the sea is carried out by barge sinking method. While the submarine utility tunnel is floating in the sea, two barges are arranged at both ends. The barges are moored at four points in the sea, and two winches are arranged at each point to realize the sinking of the submarine utility tunnel into the foundation bed by water injection in the sea.
[0035] S205. For the connection construction between the subsea utility tunnel and the barrel foundation structure, winches are installed on top of the dedicated connection structure of the barrel foundation structure, and four cable-spinning bollards are placed at the four corners of the joint section. The two subsea utility tunnels are installed symmetrically and simultaneously, and are sunk to the predetermined positions using a barge. The four winch cables of each dedicated connection structure are connected to the mooring points at the four corners of the second type of connector end of the subsea utility tunnel, pulling the subsea utility tunnel towards the docking end on the foundation surface, pressing the waterstop onto the end face of the dedicated connection structure of the barrel foundation structure, and achieving initial waterstopping. The process involves: pumping water out of the barrel foundation structure and using a barge for continuous shearing to preload the structure; sequentially removing one end face of the barrel foundation structure and one end face of the subsea utility tunnel from the dedicated connection structure within the barrel foundation structure; installing OMEGA waterstops using embedded parts; connecting the two anchor plates of the two subsea utility tunnels with prestressed steel cables and tensioning the prestress to compress the GINA waterstops to a predetermined amount; and installing shear keys for the dedicated connection structure between the subsea utility tunnel and the barrel foundation structure to ensure the overall shear resistance of the subsea utility tunnel and the barrel foundation structure.
[0036] S206. For the connection construction between submarine utility tunnels, a specialized floating barge is used, equipped with winches. Four cable-spinning bollards are placed at the four corners of the first-type connector section of each submarine utility tunnel, for a total of eight sets. The two submarine utility tunnels are installed symmetrically and simultaneously, using a barge to sink them to the predetermined positions. The four winch cables of each submarine utility tunnel's first-type connector are connected to the mooring points at the four corners of the side of the first-type connector end of the main submarine utility tunnel on the axis of symmetry. This pulls the two symmetrical submarine utility tunnels towards the docking end on the bed surface, pressing the waterstop onto the... Initial watertightness is achieved on the end face of the dedicated connection structure of the main subsea utility tunnel; water is pumped out from the docking end of the main subsea utility tunnel and continuously moved by a dedicated floating barge to achieve preload; the two end faces of the dedicated connection structure are sequentially removed inside the connected main subsea utility tunnel; OMEGA waterstops are installed through embedded parts; the two anchor plates of the two subsea utility tunnels are connected by prestressed steel cables and prestressed to compress the GINA waterstops to the preset amount; shear keys of the dedicated connection structure of the subsea utility tunnel are installed to ensure the overall shear resistance of the subsea utility tunnel cluster.
[0037] S207. Install the external protective structure for the connection, using a combination of steel shell and geotextile materials to provide external protection for the connection.
[0038] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By employing a combination of barrel-type foundation structure clusters, submarine utility tunnel clusters, dedicated connecting structures, and trestle bridges, and utilizing the dedicated connecting structures of the submarine utility tunnels and barrel-type foundations for connection, while ensuring sealing performance through prestressed technology and waterstop devices, efficient connection between the data center cluster and shore-based resources can be achieved. The internal layout and structural design of the barrel-type foundations take into account the passage and transfer of personnel, vehicles, and equipment, while the trestle bridges provide convenient transportation channels between the shore-based infrastructure and the data center cluster. Through precise settlement optimization analysis and foundation reinforcement measures, overall settlement is effectively controlled, ensuring that differential settlement between each sub-cluster is minimized.

[0044] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments given herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the invention; however, the invention may have other embodiments and modifications thereof. Therefore, the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0045] Example 1: A data center cluster with a barrel foundation, including a barrel foundation structure cluster, a submarine utility tunnel cluster, a dedicated connection structure 2, and a trestle.
[0046] The cluster of barrel foundation structures includes multiple barrel foundation structures 1. Each barrel foundation structure 1 is a large-diameter concrete cylinder, and its interior is divided into compartments by partition walls 11. Each barrel foundation structure connects to multiple submarine utility tunnels 3.
[0047] The submarine utility tunnel cluster includes multiple submarine utility tunnels 3. Each submarine utility tunnel 3 is equipped with multiple first-type connectors 31 to connect with other submarine utility tunnels 3. The submarine utility tunnel 3 connected to the barrel foundation structure 1 is equipped with second-type connectors 32 at the connection point.
[0048] A dedicated connecting structure 2 serves as an intermediate structure to connect the subsea utility tunnel 3 to the barrel foundation structure 1. The cross-sectional dimensions of the dedicated connecting structure 2 are consistent with those of the subsea utility tunnel 3 to ensure the required docking error. The side wall 21 of the dedicated connecting structure 2 and the partition wall 11 of the barrel foundation structure 1 are located on the same plane to ensure reasonable force transmission. A reinforcing structure is arranged between the dedicated connecting structure 2 and the outer wall of the barrel foundation structure 1. The dedicated connecting structure 2 uses GINA and OMEGA waterstops and has built-in OMEGA waterstop installation components to achieve the installation and connection of the second waterstop. The dedicated connecting structure 2 has built-in prestressed cable anchor plates to apply prestress to the connection between the dedicated connecting structure 2 and the subsea utility tunnel 3, thereby increasing the pressure of the waterstop and stopping water.
[0049] The trestle bridge, with one end set on top of the barrel foundation structure and the other end set on the shore, is used to connect the barrel foundation structure 1 and the shore. It adopts either a one-way road + vehicle U-turn area or a two-way road for traffic. It enables people, vehicles and equipment to reach the top surface of the barrel foundation structure 1 from the shore via the trestle bridge. The overall structural type of the trestle bridge adopts a combination of pile foundation + superstructure. The superstructure adopts either a combination of pile cap + crossbeam and longitudinal beam or cap beam + prestressed longitudinal beam.
[0050] In this embodiment, the compartmentalized layout of the barrel-type foundation structure 1 includes a working shaft, an elevator shaft, a safety ladder shaft, and a ballast shaft. Multiple dedicated connecting structures are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the barrel-type foundation structure 1. This symmetrical arrangement allows for synchronous docking construction of the subsea utility tunnel 3, which is beneficial to the overall stability of the barrel-type foundation structure 1. The symmetrical dedicated connecting structures 2 have symmetrically arranged end steel shells and anchor plates, with symmetrical holes between the anchor plates. After the symmetrical dedicated connecting structures 2 dock with the subsea utility tunnel 3, prestress is applied through the symmetrical anchor plates to maintain the pressure of the waterstop and achieve water stoppage. Simultaneously, the prestress helps provide overall cluster connection integrity, promotes overall settlement, and avoids localized settlement.

When the difference between the two settlements meets the preset parameters, terminate the iteration; if the requirements are not met, adjust the overall size parameters of the barrel foundation and the bottom foundation, and repeat steps 3) to 7).
[0070] 8) Determine the overall dimensions of the sub-cluster structure submarine utility tunnel and barrel foundation structure;
