Description

  The present invention relates to a rock fall protection facility.

  Conventionally, Patent Document 1 discloses a rockfall protection bank body mainly composed of a reinforced embankment and a retaining wall.

In addition, rock fall protection levee bodies using air mortar and air milk instead of reinforced embankment have been proposed.
JP 2005-256602 A

The conventional rock fall protection dam described above has the following problems.
(1) In the rock fall protection levee mainly composed of reinforced embankment and retaining wall, it takes labor to construct the reinforced embankment hierarchically, and the installation area of the levee body is increased in order to improve the buffer performance. There is a point that should be improved by securing a large levee with a large space.
(2) For rockfall protection levee bodies using air mortar or air milk, multiple retaining wall panels must be firmly connected to counter the foaming pressure of air mortar that acts directly on retaining wall panels. It is necessary to take integrated measures so that the dam body and the retaining wall panel are not separated when the levee body expands and deforms to the side during rockfall.
In addition to the large amount of cement used in air mortar and air milk, there is a problem that the overall cost is high because of the increased cost for rigid connection and integration measures between the retaining wall panels as described above.
Furthermore, since the air mortar hardened at the time of falling rock easily cracks, there is a problem that the buffering performance against the falling rock after that is remarkably lowered.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rock fall protection facility that can suppress the occurrence of cracks in a bank body and maintain excellent buffer performance.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a rockfall protection facility that can reduce the load on the retaining wall by reducing the side pressure applied to the retaining wall during a rockfall.

A rock fall protection facility characterized by insulating a buffer wall and a retaining wall.
A second invention of the present application provides a rockfall protection facility according to the first invention, wherein a grit material is embedded in the buffer dam body and the grit material is insulated from a retaining wall.

Provided is a rock fall protection facility characterized by containing a powder filling material that does not compact.
A fourth invention of the present application provides the rock fall protection facility according to any one of the first invention to the third invention, wherein the retaining wall is composed of a plurality of wall panels provided with buffer insulating layers. To do.

(1) By mixing short fibers into the air-mixed lightweight soil, the bond strength between the soil particles is increased, giving the buffer dam body flexibility and plasticity, and improving the integrity and flexibility of the entire dam body. Can be made.
Therefore, not only the occurrence of cracks when impact force acts on the buffer dam body, but also the plastic deformation of the dam body can be effectively suppressed, so the conventional reinforced embankment dam body, air mortar and air milk The buffer performance can be greatly improved as compared with the dam body.
(2) In particular, since the occurrence of cracks in the buffer dam body can be surely suppressed, excellent buffer performance can be maintained even if rock fall acts repeatedly, so that the buffer performance can be guaranteed over a long period of time.
(3) When the grid material is embedded in the buffer dam body, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of cracks and the buffer performance can be further enhanced by the synergistic action of the grid material and the short fibers.

In particular, the side pressure of the buffer dam body is not absorbed only by the buffer insulation layer interposed between the buffer dam body and the retaining wall, but the side pressure generated in the buffer dam body itself can be reduced. It can be designed lower than the conventional one.
(5) Since the buffer dam body is poorly mixed with cement, and the earth and sand can be used effectively, the material cost can be kept low.
Furthermore, since the construction period can be shortened, the construction cost can be reduced.
(6) The impact dispersion layer provided on the upper surface of the buffer dam body is composed of a laminated body of a buffer bag and an impact dispersion bag, so that the impact force of falling rocks can be absorbed in advance and through the compacted impact dispersion bag The impact force of falling rocks can be dispersed and absorbed over a wide area of the buffer wall.
(7) Only the retaining wall that has been rapidly constructed in advance can be expected to protect rocks.
(8) When placing the buffer dam body, it is possible to greatly reduce the opportunity for the operator to enter the retaining wall where there is a risk of falling rocks, and to ensure the safety of the work.

  Hereinafter, a rockfall protection facility according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(1) Overview of rockfall protection facility FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a rockfall protection facility according to the present invention.
The rock fall protection facility is mounted on the retaining wall 20 supported by the support column 12 erected on the bottom portion 11 of the slope 10, the buffer dam body 30 provided on the back side of the retaining wall 20, and the upper surface of the buffer dam body 30. And the received dispersion layer 40.

(2) Column The column 12 erected on the foundation concrete 13 with a predetermined interval is a steel material such as H-shaped steel, for example.
As will be described later, the rock fall protection facility according to the present invention is transmitted with the lateral pressure applied to the retaining wall 20 relaxed at the time of impact, so that the bending strength of the column 12 and the connection strength between the wall panels 21 constituting the retaining wall 20 are transmitted. It is not necessary to design an excessively large.

(3) Retaining wall The retaining wall 20 includes a plurality of precast wall panels 21.
As shown in FIG. 3, the wall surface panel 21 used in this example includes a rectangular panel body 22 and a plurality of overhang portions 23 and 23 integrally formed by protruding from the back surface of the panel body 22 at a predetermined interval. And a buffer insulating layer 50 integrally attached to the back surface of the panel body 22.

  The upper and lower end surfaces of the rectangular panel body 22 are formed with recesses and projections that can be fitted to each other so that the upper and lower wall surface panels 21 can be fitted together when stacked.

Further, through-holes 23a are formed at the same height in the overhang portions 23, 23. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, a rod 24 such as a steel rod spanned over these through-holes 23a, 23a, Each wall panel 21 is integrated with the support 12 by fixing the support 12 with a connecting member 25 such as a reinforcing bar.
The form of integration of the column 12 and each wall panel 21 is not limited to the form illustrated in FIG. 4, and a known fixing form can be applied.

(4) Buffer Insulating Layer One of the features of the wall surface panel 21 used in the present invention is that the buffer insulating layer 50 is integrally provided on the entire back surface of the panel body 22 and the back surfaces of the overhang portions 23 and 23.
The buffer insulation layer 50 structurally insulates between the wall panel 21 and the buffer dam body 30 and also buffers the earth pressure and deformation force of the buffer dam body 30 acting toward the wall panel 21 by its own deformation performance. It is a member for the purpose.
In order to attach the buffer insulating layer 50 to the wall surface panel 21, it may be fixed in a state that allows deformation of the buffer insulating layer 50 by means such as adhesion.

  Unlike the air milk, the buffer dam body 30 is subjected to earth pressure after solidification in the same manner as the embankment and the like. Also works.

The reason why the buffer insulating layer 50 is integrated with the wall surface panel 21 in advance is as follows.
The first reason is that by simply building up the retaining wall 20 by stacking the wall panels 21, the buffer insulating layer 50 can be installed at the same time, thereby reducing the work time and labor on site due to the omission of the construction process. This is to realize rapid construction.
The second reason is that, since the buffer wall 30 is constructed using the retaining wall 20 as a formwork, a buffer material such as earth and sand is separately provided in a narrow space between the retaining wall 20 and the buffer bank 30. Not only is it technically difficult to fill, but also filling unevenness is likely to occur. In order to eliminate such a problem, the buffer insulating layer 50 was integrated with the wall surface panel 21 in advance.

As the buffer insulating layer 50, for example, “endren mat” (manufactured by Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd.), which is a mat-like material having a loofah-like structure made of polyester monofilament and having not only buffer performance but also drainage, is suitable.
As the other material of the buffer insulating layer 50, a known material such as urethane having a buffer property can be applied.

(5) Buffer dam body The buffer dam body 30 is a light and self-supporting, light-weight, mixed-oil lightweight soil that is mainly composed of earth and sand, and is mixed with short fibers, water, poor blended cement, and foaming agent (or foam beads). Become. Soil can be generated from locally generated soil, purchased soil, waste materials, etc.
The short fibers were mixed to increase the bonding force between the soil particles, to give the buffer dam body 30 flexibility and plasticity (stickiness), and to improve the integrity and flexibility of the dam body as a whole. This is because when the shock is applied to the buffer dam body 30, the generation of cracks is suppressed and the buffer performance (impact resistance performance) is enhanced.

Furthermore, in the present invention, in order to further enhance the effect of suppressing the occurrence of cracks by the buffer dam body 30 and the buffer performance, the net-like grid material 31 is embedded horizontally inside the buffer dam body 30.
As the grid material 31, “Rockdem” (manufactured by Maeda Kosen Co., Ltd.) excellent in durability and tensile strength is suitable, but a known geogrid can also be used.

  Laying horizontally does not mean strict horizontality, but in a broader sense means a direction crossing the buffer dam body 30, and includes a form in which it is inclined and attached.

In addition, the pitch of the grid members 31 to be embedded in multiple stages may be equal, but it is desirable to change the pitch so that the pitch of the upper layer is narrower than the lower layer.
In addition, the grid material 31 that is formed in a net shape by intersecting in two general directions includes a type in which a core material is embedded only in one direction and a type in which a core material is embedded in two directions. In the former case, the upper and lower grid members 31 may be laid so as to intersect with each other so that the tensile directions are orthogonal to each other.

Further, the grid material 31 is laid over the entire horizontal section of the buffer dam body 30, or the strip-shaped grid material 31 is laid at a predetermined interval.
In any case, the grid material 31 may be laid in the longitudinal direction of the buffer dam body 30.

In the present invention, the end of the grid member 31 may not be connected to the retaining wall 20.
For the sake of convenience, one end of the grid material 31 is connected to the support column 12 because of the laying workability.
In order to connect one end of the grid material 31 to the support column 12, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, one end of the grid material 31 is folded and wound around the auxiliary material 14 that is horizontally mounted on the support column 12, Coil by winding the coil.

Since the buffer dam 30 has a porous structure, when water is included, the weight increases and the strength decreases.
Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slope side and the upper surface side of the buffer dam body 30 may be covered with a water shielding sheet 32, and drain pipes 33 may be provided on the upper and lower portions of the buffer dam body 30.

(6) Impact dispersion layer The impact dispersion layer 40 is a semi-integrated flexible layer formed by bagging to absorb and disperse the impact force caused by falling rocks acting on the buffer dam body 30, and in this example the buffer dam body. The shock distribution is distributed by a plurality of impact dispersion bags 41 placed in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the buffer dam body 30 on the upper surface of 30 and a plurality of buffer bags 45 placed and spread on the impact dispersion bag 41 group. A case where the layer 40 is configured will be described.

  The impact dispersion bag 41 is composed of a slender bag body 42 and a filling material 43 made of a single grain structure such as earth and sand or crushed stone filled therein, and is filled with a single grain structure when an external force is applied. The materials 43 are engaged with each other by the interlocking action to change into a lump shape.

The buffer bag 45 includes a bag body 46 and a filling material 47 made of powder that does not compact even when an external force such as clinker ash filled in the bag body 46 is applied.
The bag bodies 42 and 46 constituting both the bags 41 and 45 are formed of a material excellent in tensile strength.

[How to build a rockfall protection facility]
Next, I will explain how to build a rockfall protection facility.

(1) Erecting the retaining wall As shown in FIG. 5, the columns 12 are erected on the foundation concrete 13 at a predetermined interval, and the wall panels 21 with the buffer insulating layers 50 are sequentially stacked on the front surfaces of the columns 12. The retaining wall 20 is constructed.
Between the both sides of the retaining wall 20 and the inclined surface 10, a wall surface panel 21 or a separate panel is assembled to form a closed space.
As a result, the entire back surface of the wall surface 20 is covered with the buffer insulating layer 50.

(2) Construction of buffer dam body Next, as shown in FIG. 6, a bubble-mixed lightweight soil having fluidity in which earth and sand, short fibers, water, poorly mixed cement and foaming agent (or foam beads) are mixed is formed. A buffer dam 30 having a predetermined height is constructed by placing in a space between the inside of the retaining wall 2 that also serves as a frame and the slope 10 covered with the water shielding sheet 32.

  A suitable blending example of the bubble-mixed lightweight soil is illustrated below.

  Since the buffer dam body 30 is mainly made of earth and sand, it can be constructed early by effectively using the soil and waste materials generated on the site, and since no large foaming pressure is generated, the burden on the retaining wall 20 and the column 12 can be reduced. There are advantages.

In order to bury the grid material 31 horizontally when placing the bubble-mixed lightweight soil, the grid material 31 previously connected to the support column 12 is expanded horizontally during the placement of the bubble-mixed lightweight soil, or mixed with the bubble. After placing all the grid members 31 horizontally before placing the lightweight soil, the bubble-mixed lightweight soil is finally placed.
Drain pipes 33 are arranged at predetermined positions above and below the buffer dam body 30, respectively.

  Unlike the air milk or the like, the buffer bank 30 does not generate a large foaming pressure, but after solidification, the earth pressure acts like the embankment and the like. This earth pressure is absorbed by the buffer insulating layer 50 on the back surface of the retaining wall 20.

(3) Formation of the impact dispersion layer As shown in FIG. 7, a plurality of impact dispersion bags 41 are placed in parallel along the longitudinal direction of the buffer dam body 30 on the upper surface of the cured buffer dam body 30.
A plurality of shock-absorbing bags 45 are spread on the impact dispersion bag 41 group to obtain the impact dispersion layer 40.

  In the field where the impact force of the falling rock is expected to be large, it is desirable that the dispersion bags 41 are stacked in multiple stages, or the laying directions of the long impact dispersion bags 41 are orthogonally stacked.

Finally, as shown in FIG. 2, the surfaces of the plurality of buffer bags 45 are covered with a known protective mat 44.
In addition, a lightweight air milk is placed in a gap formed between the back surface of the upper portion of the retaining wall 20 and the buffer bag 45 to construct the partition wall 48.
If necessary, the protection fence 14 of a cultivated land is constructed using the support 12.

[Buffer action of rock fall protection facilities]
Next, a buffering action when a rockfall collides with the rockfall protection facility will be described with reference to FIG.

(1) Absorbing action of impact force by impact receiving dispersion layer When a falling stone falls toward the falling rock protection facility, the impact force acts on the receiving dispersion layer 40 through the buffer bag 45.
Part of the impact force acting on the impact dispersion layer 40 is absorbed by the buffering action of the upper buffer bag 45.

When the impact force exceeds the deformation strength of the upper buffer bag 45, the impact force of the falling rock is transmitted to the lower impact dispersion bag 41.
Even in the impact dispersion bag 41, the impact force of falling rocks is buffered to some extent, but the entire impact dispersion bag 41 is hardened in a lump shape with the action of external force.
As a result, the impact force of falling rocks is distributed and transmitted to a wide contact surface of the buffer dam body 30 with which the entire length of the impact dispersion bag 41 contacts.

(2) Absorbing action of impact force by the buffer dam body As described above, the buffer dam body 30 is not a dam body using air mortar or air milk which is liable to generate cracks.

The buffer dam body 30 is mainly composed of earth and sand, and short fibers are mixed inside, and the grid material 31 is also embedded to give flexibility and plasticity (stickiness) to the entire dam body.
Therefore, when an impact force acts through the impact dispersion layer 40, the buffer dam 30 undergoes compaction deformation and plastic deformation in the range where the impact force is applied. At this time, the short fibers mixed in the soil and the grid material 31 cooperate to resist the compaction deformation and plastic deformation of the soil particles, and cracks hardly occur when the buffer dam body 30 is deformed.
In addition to the original buffering action of the earth and sand itself, the synergistic action of the short fibers and the grid material 31 can not only suppress the generation of cracks, but also effectively suppress the plastic deformation of the buffer dam body 30. The impact force acting on the buffer dam body 30 is effectively attenuated.

In particular, even if there is a rock fall in the same position of the buffer dam body 30 in the present invention, the buffer dam body 30 is not cracked and can maintain a good buffering performance. Works effectively.
More specifically, even if the falling rock repeatedly falls, the buffer wall 30 can maintain elasticity like a sponge if it is compared, so that the protective function of the falling rock is not lost.

By mixing the short fibers in the soil and embedding the grid material 31, the lateral expansion and deformation of the buffer dam body 30 is restricted, and the lateral pressure acting on the retaining wall 20 is reduced.
Since the side pressure generated toward the retaining wall 20 is absorbed by the deformation of the buffer insulating layer 50 provided on the back surface of the retaining wall 20, it does not directly act on the retaining wall 20.
That is, the side pressure toward the retaining wall 20 can be significantly reduced by the synergistic action of the three members of the short fiber, the grid material 31 and the buffer insulating layer 50.

[Other embodiments]
FIG. 8 shows a model diagram of a rock fall protection facility provided with a buffer dam body 30 in which the grid material 31 is embedded.
In this example, a grid member 31b is additionally embedded in the vertical direction of the buffer wall 30 on the retaining wall 20 side.
In this example, a case in which the grid material 31b is embedded in the vertical direction continuously to the grid material 31a laid horizontally will be described. However, the horizontal grid material 31a and the grid material 31b in the vertical direction are separately embedded. In some cases.

In this example, the grid material 31b embedded in the vertical direction on the retaining wall 20 side of the buffer wall 30 restrains the expansion deformation of the buffer wall 30 on the retaining wall 20 side outward. The side pressure of the buffer dam body 30 at the time of impact can be reduced.
In particular, when the grid materials 31a and 31b in both directions are continuous, the tensile force generated along with the bending deformation of the horizontal grid material 31a at the time of impact is transmitted to the vertical grid material 31b. Since 31b is tensioned so as to wrap the buffer dam body 30 inside, there is an advantage that the effect of reducing the side pressure of the buffer dam body 30 is remarkably improved.

The following embodiments can also be applied to the present invention.
The retaining wall 20 is not limited to being constituted by a plurality of precast wall surface panels 21 and may be a single retaining wall. In this case, the retaining wall 20 may be any type of precast or on-site construction as long as a configuration in which the buffer insulating layer 50 is attached to the back surface of the retaining wall 20 is obtained.
