Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an aqueduct leakage repairing method which belongs to the field of hydraulic engineering, in particular to the field of repairing aqueducts in hydraulic engineering.


BACKGROUND

Aqueducts are a kind of overhead water conveyance structure which conveys canal water across rivers, roads, mountains, valleys, etc., and are one of the most widely used three-dimensional crossing structures in hydraulic structures. In addition to conveying canal water, they can also be used for flood discharge, sediment discharge, navigation and diversion. With the construction of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the domestic water conservancy infrastructure, aqueducts have been widely adopted. Large aqueducts often adopt new prestressed technology, and relevant research results have appeared one after another. Aqueducts are a kind of important hydraulic structure in long-distance water transfer project. Once they fails, direct and indirect economic losses will be immeasurable.


The main causes of aqueduct damage include earthquake, wind, water damage, durability problems (including concrete carbonization, water stop aging, freeze-thaw, corrosion, water erosion, soil frost heave, uneven settlement, etc.), overload damage and unreasonable design or poor construction quality, and so on, among which earthquake, wind, and water damage are sudden. A damaged aqueduct is commonly embodied by leakage of aqueduct body and unstable structure of aqueduct body. The leakage of aqueduct body will cause corrosion of steel bars. When the corrosion of the steel bars reaches a certain level, the volume of the steel bars expands. The concrete outside the aqueduct cracks under the action of expansion force, until it collapses, which damages aqueduct wall structure and affects normal use of the aqueduct.


In order to prevent aqueducts from leaking, commonly used reinforcement methods mainly use special concrete, mesh cloth and fiber materials for reinforcement. However, the existing methods have many limitations, such as poor seepage prevention effect, complex construction steps, and high construction costs. Due to influences of materials and construction, the adhesion between later reinforcement materials and the original structure is poor. In addition, the cost of fiber materials is higher.

A thin-wall formwork which is non-dismantling is used to pour a reinforcing layer inside an aqueduct body. The aqueduct leakage repairing method according to the present invention has simple construction steps for repairing aqueduct leakage and high construction efficiency.

    • S3: pouring concrete into the gap to form a reinforcing layer;
    • S4: curing the reinforcing layer; and
    • S5: removing the supporting rods and the fixing rods after curing, and the formwork which is a non-dismantling formwork forming a part of the aqueduct after pouring is completed.


The aqueduct leakage repairing method further comprises a step after step S5: cutting expansion joint at an original expansion joint position of the aqueduct, and then filling the expansion joint with fixed rubber parts.


A plurality of transverse and vertical stiffening ribs are arranged on side surfaces of the side formwork plates and the bottom formwork plates, and the stiffening ribs are rectangular ribs with rectangular sections; the fixing rods are arranged outside the side formwork plates and the bottom formwork plates for auxiliary fixation; the fixing rods are in a rod-shaped structure and are each provided with a plurality of clamps; each of the clamps includes an upper clamping head and a lower clamping head which are correspondingly arranged to form a clamping groove; the clamping grooves have rectangular sections which match with the rectangular ribs, so that the rectangular ribs are embedded into the clamping grooves for being clamped.
