Sheet pile foundation is a common foundation construction technology and is widely used in construction projects, bridge projects, ports and terminals and other engineering projects. It embeds precast concrete sheet piles into the ground to provide load-bearing and lateral force resistance. This article will focus on the construction technology and precautions of sheet pile foundation.
1. Construction technology of sheet pile foundation
(1)Selection of sheet piles
Before proceeding with the construction of sheet pile foundation, it is necessary to select appropriate sheet piles according to the actual conditions of the project. The selection of sheet piles should take into account factors such as geological conditions, bearing capacity requirements, and ease of construction. At the same time, it is also necessary to fully consider the interaction between sheet piles and surrounding underground facilities to avoid damage to the surrounding environment during the construction process.
(2) Pile foundation pretreatment
Before the construction of sheet pile foundation, pile foundation pretreatment is usually required. The purpose of pretreatment is to improve the bearing capacity and stability of the pile foundation. Common pretreatment methods include soil density, cement mixing piles, and bored piles. These methods can effectively improve the mechanical properties of the foundation and increase the bearing capacity of the sheet pile foundation.
(3)Construction technology
The construction technology of sheet pile foundation mainly includes three links: pile position arrangement, pile body installation and pile head treatment. First, according to the design requirements, mark the pile positions on the ground and measure the position and elevation of the pile positions. Then, carry out excavation work to excavate the pile position, while paying attention to cleaning up the debris and soft soil at the bottom of the pile position. Next, the sheet piles are installed by inserting the prefabricated concrete sheet piles into the dug holes one by one and embedding them into the ground using impact or vibration equipment. Finally, the pile heads are processed, cut neatly, and the steel bars are connected and concrete is poured.
2. Precautions
(1) Geological survey
Before proceeding with sheet pile foundation construction, a detailed geological survey must be carried out. Geological survey can provide geological information and groundwater level data to help us understand the underground conditions and formulate reasonable construction plans. Proper geological survey can help avoid problems and risks during construction.
(2)Construction monitoring
The construction process of sheet pile foundation requires real-time monitoring. The purpose of construction monitoring is to discover and solve problems in time to ensure construction quality. The monitoring content includes the accuracy of the pile position, the verticality of the pile body, and the connection quality of the pile body and pile head. Only by maintaining monitoring during the construction process can the safety and reliability of the sheet pile foundation be guaranteed.
(3)Construction drawings
Before proceeding with sheet pile foundation construction, detailed construction drawings need to be prepared. Construction drawings can clearly express construction plans and requirements and guide construction personnel to operate. At the same time, construction drawings can also be used as an important basis during the construction process to ensure that the construction meets the design requirements.
(4)Construction safety
When carrying out sheet pile foundation construction, construction safety must be paid attention to. Clear safety warning signs should be set up at the construction site, the construction area should be reasonably demarcated, and relevant safety equipment should be equipped. Construction workers should receive professional safety training and strictly implement relevant safety regulations. Only by ensuring construction safety can accidents be avoided.
(5)Construction quality
Construction quality is key to sheet pile foundation construction. During the construction process, attention should be paid to the quality control of the process and results. Whether it is pretreatment, pile body installation or pile head treatment, operations need to be carried out in accordance with specification requirements, and corresponding inspection and acceptance must be carried out. Qualified construction quality can not only ensure the long-term stability of the project, but also reduce the workload of later repairs and maintenance.
Through the introduction of this article, we understand the construction technology and precautions of sheet pile foundation. During the actual construction process, appropriate sheet piles should be selected based on geological conditions and engineering requirements, and pile foundation pretreatment should be carried out. During construction, attention should be paid to issues such as geological survey, construction monitoring, preparation of construction drawings, construction safety and construction quality. Only by paying full attention to these aspects can the construction effect and project quality of sheet pile foundation be ensured.
