Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce uplift pressure acting on a bottom face of a gravity-type structure. <P>SOLUTION: A tsunami/tidal-wave resistant reinforcing construction method is for a breakwater 11 placed on a rubble mound 13 built on the ground 12 of a harbor bottom. A foot-protection block 14 is disposed on the harbor exterior end of the rubble mound 13, and then a gap-filler 15 is laid on a sloped portion of the rubble mound 13 on which the foot-protection block 14 is disposed. Subsequently, a water-sealing plate 16 is disposed over the harbor exterior side of the rubble mound 13, the gap filler 15, and the foot-protection block 14. As a result, sea water inflow to the harbor exterior side of the rubble mound and to the gap filler is reduced, which enables to reduce the uplift pressure caused by incoming waves without accompanying an increase in the weight of the gravity-type structure such as an existing breakwater, or the like. Since the construction method requires merely disposing the foot-protection block, the gap filler, and the water-sealing plate on the harbor exterior side of the rubble mound, the construction work is facilitated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a reinforcing method capable of reducing lifting pressure due to an external force such as tsunami and storm surge that acts on the bottom surface of a gravitational structure such as an existing breakwater or caisson.

  Existing breakwaters are usually designed to withstand external forces caused by wind waves, and it is not assumed that there will be a water level difference between the outside of the port and the inside of the port due to a tsunami. Therefore, when existing breakwaters are also used as tsunami defense facilities, the effect of this water level is significant and new reinforcement may be required.

  For example, in a conventional upright caisson type breakwater, as shown in FIG. 6, a breakwater 3 that is a gravitational structure is installed on a rubble mound 2 constructed on a seabed ground 1 (Patent Document 1). ).

  In the gravitational structure having such a configuration, the external force such as a wave that pushes from the outside of the port to the inside of the port (push wave) or a wave that pulls from the inside of the port to the outside of the port (pulling wave) It will be cut off at the wall.

  For example, when an external force acts on the port outer wall surface of the breakwater 3 due to waves rushed from the port outer side, the wave pressure F1 acts on the port outer wall surface. In addition, a lifting pressure F2 (triangular distribution) corresponding to the difference in water level between the front and rear surfaces of the breakwater 3 acts on the bottom surface of the breakwater 3.

  For this reason, on the breakwater 3, a force that tries to slide from the outside of the harbor toward the inside of the harbor and a force that tries to fall over act. In addition, when the wave is applied, the generation principle of the lifting pressure F2 is the same except that the wave pressure F1 is applied to the inner wall surface of the port.

  By the way, in general, the stability of the gravitational structure is often determined by the conditions at the time of the wave action, and it is necessary to ensure the stability against sliding and falling due to the force acting at the time of the wave.

  However, in the existing gravitational structure as shown in FIG. 6, when a water level difference occurs between the outside of the port and the inside of the port due to a tsunami / storm surge, lift pressure acts on the bottom of the structure due to the difference in water level. In some cases, the downward force at the time decreases, and a predetermined sliding safety factor and fall safety factor cannot be secured.

  Therefore, when the predetermined sliding safety factor and the falling safety factor cannot be secured, the blocks 4 and 5 are reinforced at the top end and the outer side surface of the existing gravity type structure such as the breakwater 3 as shown in FIG. Thus, it is necessary to add a weight equivalent to or higher than the lifting pressure, but if the weight is simply mounted on the existing structure, the earth strength may be insufficient. In that case, in order to satisfy the predetermined sliding safety factor, the falling safety factor, and the ground supporting force, it is necessary to widen the bottom surface width of the structure.

  However, the method of reinforcing by the weight increase of the existing gravity structure and the widening of the bottom surface width does not have a reduction effect on the external force, but also increases the bottom surface area of the gravity structure, so that the lifting pressure increases. There's a problem. In addition, there is a problem that an increase in weight due to the blocks and an additional rubble mound (2 ′ in FIG. 7) are necessary, leading to an increase in cost.

JP 2001-207425 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that when a block is reinforced on the top end of the gravity type structure and the outer side surface of the port, the area of the bottom surface of the gravity type structure increases because the block is reinforced on the outer side surface of the port. That is, the lifting pressure increases. In addition, it is necessary to increase the weight by blocks and add a rubble mound, leading to an increase in cost.

  The present invention adopts the following configuration in order to solve the point that the lifting pressure is increased and the weight increase due to the block and the addition of the rubble mound are necessary, which are in the above-mentioned reinforcing method.

For example, the existing gravity structure of the present invention has a tsunami resistance / storm surge reinforcement method,
A tsunami resistance and storm surge reinforcement method for a gravity structure installed on a rubble mound built on the ground at the bottom of a harbor,
After installing a squeeze block at the outer edge of the port of the rubble mound,
Laying a padding material on the slope part of the rubble mound on the side where this rooting block is installed,
After that, the most important feature is to install a water shielding plate on the outside of the port of these rubble mounds, the padding material, and the upper part of the root block.

  In the present invention, since a padding material is laid on the rubble mound slope portion on the side of the consolidation block installed at the outer edge of the port of the rubble mound and covered with a water shielding plate, the inflow of seawater to the rubble mound and the padding material And the lifting pressure acting on the bottom surface of the gravity structure can be reduced.

  In the present invention, a gap is provided between the water shielding plate and the rooting block, and when the pressure is applied and when the water pressure on the outside of the port and the inside of the port is equal, it is between the water shielding plate and the rooting block. If an opening / closing member that closes the gap and opens the gap only during the action of the wave is provided at the end of the water shielding plate, the seawater flowing into the rubble mound and the padding material will open and close during the wave. Since it flows out from the member portion to the outside of the port, the lifting pressure is reduced.

  In the present invention, since the inflow of seawater to the rubble mound outside the port is reduced by providing a water shielding plate, the lifting pressure at the time of wave pressing is not accompanied by an increase in the weight of existing gravitational structures such as breakwaters. Can be reduced. Moreover, since it is only necessary to provide, for example, a root block, a padding material, and a water shielding plate outside the port of the rubble mound, construction is easy.

  In the present invention, for example, when a gap provided between a water shielding plate and a rooting block is closed with an opening / closing member and opened only at the time of the wave, the seawater flowing into the rubble mound and the inside of the padding material at the time of the wave Flows out from the opening / closing member, so that the lifting pressure generated at the time of wave drawing as well as at the time of pushing wave is reduced.

  In the present invention, for the purpose of reducing lifting pressure, after laying a padding material on the slope portion of the rubble mound on the side of the kerf block installed at the outer edge of the port of the rubble mound, the rubble mound, the padding material, and the root This was realized by providing a water shielding plate at the top of the solidified block.

  Hereinafter, the tsunami-resistant / storm surge reinforcing method of the existing gravity structure of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(First embodiment: FIGS. 1 and 2)
In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a breakwater, for example, placed on a rubble mound 13 constructed on the ground 12 at the bottom of the harbor. It is made like that.

  With respect to the existing breakwater 11 installed in this way, the tsunami-resistant / storm surge reinforcing method of the present invention is constructed as follows.

  First, the root block 14 is sunk and installed on the ground 12 at the outer edge of the harbor of the rubble mound 13. Next, the filling material 15 is sunk and laid on the slope portion of the rubble mound 13 on the side where the root block 14 is installed.

  And after that, the water shielding board 16 is sunk in the port outer part of the rubble mound 13, the padding material 15, and the upper part of the rooting block 14, and the port outer part of the rubble mound 13, the padding material 15 and the rooting block 14 are sunk. Install to cover the top of the.

  In this construction, the smaller the gaps 17 (see FIG. 2) between the root-solidifying blocks 14 and between the root-solidifying blocks 14 and the water shielding plate 16 are better. However, if the conditions are smaller than the gap directly under the breakwater 11 (the gap between the rubble mound 13, the gap between the rubble mound 13 and the breakwater 11, and the gap between the rubble mound 13 and the ground 12), the breakwater 11 The working lifting pressure can be reduced. However, in the opposite case, there is no effect of reducing the lifting pressure.

  If the above-mentioned reinforcement is performed, the port outside water pressure acts on the upper side of the water shielding plate 16 and the port inner side water pressure acts on the lower side of the water shielding plate 16 at the time of the action of the push wave. Due to the fact that the water level outside the harbor is higher than the water level inside the harbor, a downward force F3 acts on the water shielding plate 16.

  Accordingly, when the wave is applied, the root block 14 and the water shielding plate 16 reduce the inflow of seawater to the rubble mound 13 and the padding material 15, and the lift pressure acting on the breakwater 11 can be reduced.

  When the difference between the water pressure outside the harbor and the water pressure inside the harbor is equal to zero (such as when the water is still), the breakwater 11 and the water shielding plate 16 have sufficient underwater weight. The breakwater 11 will not fall over.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, the water shielding plate 16 and the breakwater 11 are connected by a tie rod 18 (or a chain) having one end attached to the water shielding plate 16 and the other end attached to the breakwater 11. The tie rod 18 (or chain) is made of steel and has a sufficient corrosion allowance. The tie rod 18 (or chain) is attached to the existing breakwater 11 by, for example, attaching an anchor bolt (eye bolt) to the existing breakwater 11 in underwater construction and connecting it to the tie rod 18 (or chain). Do.

  In this case, the downward force F3 acting on the water shielding plate 16 supports the breakwater 11 via the tie rod 18 (or chain) during the action of the pushing wave. That is, the water shielding plate 16 compensates for the horizontal resistance that is insufficient in the existing breakwater 11. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the breakwater 11 from horizontally moving from the outside of the harbor to the inside of the harbor due to waves (external force) rushing from the outside of the harbor.

  In the case of the breakwater 11 that has been reinforced, if the water pressure inside the port is lower than the water pressure outside the port during the action of the wave, a downward force acts on the breakwater 11 and the water shielding plate 16 due to the water pressure difference. Thus, no upward water pressure is generated on the breakwater 11.

  However, when the harbor inner water pressure is higher than the harbor outer water pressure, upward water pressure acts from the bottom surface 11a of the breakwater 11 and the bottom of the water shielding plate 16 due to the difference in the water pressure, and the bottom surface 11a of the breakwater 11 and the water shield. A lifting pressure F <b> 2 is generated on the plate 16. However, since the load at the time of the wave is actually sufficiently smaller than the load at the time of the wave, a large lifting pressure F2 is not generated.

  According to the above reinforcing method of the present invention, without increasing the weight of the existing breakwater 11, the lifting pressure F2 of the breakwater 11 due to the tsunami and storm surge generated during the push action is reduced, and the breakwater 11 due to the force acting during the push action is reduced. Stability against sliding and falling can be ensured.

(Second embodiment: FIG. 3)
In FIG. 3, reference numeral 19 denotes a gap provided between the water shielding plate 16 and the rooting block 14. In the second embodiment, the water shielding plate 16 is installed so as to provide this gap 19. Then, an opening / closing member 20 is provided at the end of the water shielding plate 16, and when the wave action is applied and when the water pressure on the outside of the port and the inside of the port is equal, the opening / closing member 20 closes the gap 19 and Only the gap 19 is opened.

  This second embodiment is suitable when a problem arises in the stability of the breakwater 11 due to the lifting pressure F2 generated when the wave is applied, and suppresses the lifting pressure F2 generated during the wave. it can.

  That is, if the above-described reinforcement is performed, the opening / closing member 20 that closes the gap 19 between the water shielding plate 16 and the root block 14 is provided inside the rubble mound 13 as shown in FIG. And it opens by the port inner side water pressure which flows through the inside of the padding material 15. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the lifting pressure F2 acting on the breakwater 11 by causing seawater to flow out to the outside of the port.

  On the other hand, at the time of the action of the wave, the opening / closing member 20 is pressed by the wave so as to close the gap 19 between the water shielding plate 16 and the root block 14, so that the inflow of seawater is reduced and the breakwater 11 is applied. The acting lifting pressure F2 can be reduced.

  According to the reinforcing method of the present invention, the lifting pressure F2 of the breakwater 11 generated not only during the wave action but also during the wave action can be reduced without increasing the weight of the existing breakwater 11.

  The present invention is not limited to the above example, and it goes without saying that the embodiments may be changed as appropriate within the scope of the technical idea described in each claim.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the water shielding plate 16 and the breakwater 11 are connected by the tie rod 18, but the water shielding plate 16 and the breakwater 11 may not be connected by the tie rod 18.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the interlining material 15 is installed, but the interlining material 15 may not be installed as long as the water shielding plate 16 has sufficient rigidity.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the water shielding plate 16 is maintained in a horizontal state by the root block 14 and the padding material 15. However, when the breakwater 11 has a weight that does not move horizontally due to a tsunami or storm surge, the outside of the port of the rubble mound 13 may be covered with a water shielding member so as to be smaller than the gap directly under the breakwater 11. . As the water shielding member, in addition to the water shielding plate 16 and the water shielding film (not shown) shown in FIG. 4, a combination of the water shielding plate 16 and the water shielding film 21 shown in FIG. Moreover, you may make it cover with the layer of a gravel and sand whose water permeability is small enough compared with the breakwater 11 directly.
