Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a foundation with chain blades during construction and its construction method, which belongs to the field of civil engineering foundation construction.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

By adopting the integral excavation construction method, the existing large-scale pile foundation technology is of long construction period, high labor intensity and poor working environment safety.

The existing underground diaphragm wall technology is to excavate a long narrow trench on the ground by groover under the protection of slurry supporting, hang a reinforcement cage in the trench, and cast underwater concrete to construct one section of trench, so as to proceed by sections. Its main shortcomings: 1) It is difficult to control and verify the quality of underwater construction in the trench, and the construction period is long; 2) The interface between trench sections is difficult to construct, which may result in water leakage; 3) The groover is relatively tall, and the application conditions are limited due to its movement along the perimeter.

The existing breakwater generally adopts concrete armor blocks on bottom riprap heaps and rock filling prisms, or reinforced concrete caissons or large diameter cylinder structures, which is of a huge construction quantity, long construction period and high cost.

The existing caisson foundation technology is to excavate in wells and form foundations by overcoming the frictional resistance of the well wall relying on its own gravity, to sink to the design elevation and seal the bottom. Its main shortcomings: long construction period; high cost; deviation correction difficulty; it is difficult for the cutting edge to overcome boulder at the well bottom and other obstacles, which may cause sudden sinking and accidents.

The existing caisson basic technology needs to pump compressed air, to provide working conditions and compress the water out of the working chamber. Its main shortcomings: complex equipment, limited working time, low efficiency, high cost, difficult bottom sealing construction, and limited depth, which may easily cause occupational diseases under high pressure conditions.

Current dam foundations generally adopt diversion structures and cofferdam structures to create dry construction conditions, which is of a large excavation earthwork and a huge construction quantity. At the completion of the dam, the cofferdam needs to be removed. It is of long construction period and high cost.

For the existing revetment and wharf foundations, excavators are generally adopted for excavation, and ditches or catchment wells for drainage. Cofferdam is also needed outside the revetment bank. In order to prevent large scale settlement, the daily masonry height is limited. It is of the long construction period and high cost.

The existing ship lock foundation is generally built by excavating passages through mountains. The earthwork excavation project is of huge scale, long construction period and high cost.

The existing pier foundation generally builds cofferdam first, pumps water, and carry out pier foundation construction in the cofferdam. Water will continue to infiltrate into the cofferdam, which needs to be continuously pumped out, to obtain dry construction conditions. It is of poor construction environment and not safe.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides a foundation with chain blades during construction and its construction method. Its object is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology.

For application in the field of pile foundation, its main advantages: 1) The column foundation can be fabricated at the prefabrication site in sections or as a whole, or cast in the fixed formwork on-site while descending, which is of easy construction; 2) The structure is simple; 3) Sink as a whole on site, which is of short construction period and low cost.

For application in the field of underground diaphragm walls, its main advantages: 1) The underground diaphragm walls can be fabricated at the prefabrication site in sections, or cast in the fixed formwork on-site while descending, which is of easy construction, good quality and highly detectable; 2) Sink as a whole on site, which is of a short construction period and low cost, especially for the underground diaphragm walls that are permanent load-bearing walls; 3) The driving device of the chain blade does not need to be moved and the section of the chain blade above ground can be arranged horizontally, which is widely used.

For application in the field of breakwater, its main advantages: 1) The breakwaters can be fabricated in the prefabricated site in sections, or assembled on site before descending as a while, which is of good quality; 2) It is of a short construction period and low cost; 3) Especially suitable for deep water area.

For application in the field of open caisson foundation, its main advantages: 1) The open caisson foundation can be fabricated at the prefabrication site in sections, or cast in the fixed framework on site while descending, which is of easy construction and good quality; 2) Sink as a whole on site, which is of a short construction period and low cost; 3) Especially suitable for the construction of bounder at the well bottom or other obstacles.

For application in the field of caisson foundation, its main advantages: 1) The caisson foundation can be fabricated at the prefabrication site in sections, or cast in the fixed formwork on site while descending, which is of easy construction; 2) Sink as a whole on site, which is of a short construction period and low cost; 3) Workers do not need to work under high pressure.

For application in the field of dam foundation, its main advantages: 1) During construction of a dam foundation, adopt the segmented cofferdam construction method. By building a dam in the manner of the cofferdam, the cofferdam also becomes the main structure of the dam. 2) The diversion tunnel reserved on the dam body is constructed for diversion, and no additional diversion structure is needed. 3) It is not necessary to remove the cofferdam, which is of the shorter construction period and low cost.

For application in the field of revetment and wharf foundations, its main advantages: 1) It is not necessary to build cofferdams, which allows simple construction; 2) Sink as a whole on site, which is of a short construction period and low cost.

For application in the field of ship lock foundations, its main advantages: 1) The ship lock foundations can be descended as a whole or by blocks, which is of a short construction period; 2) Foundation frame can be used as foundation pit support. Rock and soil excavation in the foundation frame is safe, convenient, and of small earthwork amount.

For application in the field of bridge pier foundation, its main advantages: 1) The bridge pier foundation pre-fabricated at factory will settle as a whole on-site, which is of a short construction period; 2) The construction of bridge pier in water does not need a cofferdam, and deep foundation pit construction, etc., which is safe and convenient for construction.
