Description
The present invention relates to a bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scrubbing prevention construction method and structure thereof, and more specifically, by mounting a bag filled with local dredging soil around the bridge foundation, and then bound by one rope, construction is simple and construction period and The present invention relates to a bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scour prevention construction method and structure thereof that can not only drastically reduce construction cost but also can be permanently used.
In general, the foundation is formed in the bottom of the bridge piers across the river, river, etc. in a well shape or a square pillar shape.
Most of the bridge foundations of the bridges are installed in a state where some or all of them are submerged in water, and as time passes, erosion or erosion of the surrounding ground occurs by the flowing water. Therefore, the reinforcement is performed through various reinforcement devices and reinforcement methods using the same.
The method for reinforcing the bridge foundation of the bridge is to install the formwork to maintain a certain distance from the outside of the bridge foundation, and to reinforce the reinforcing bar in the middle of the formwork and the well, and then cast concrete, Prior to the installation, the construction of temporary screening works is carried out to build banks around the piers or to embed sheet piles to prevent water access.
The bridge foundation reinforcement method of the conventional bridge made as described above is a formwork installation work separately from the temporary barrier, the work is cumbersome and waste of additional equipment and cost required for installation.
In addition, since the formwork installed after the temporary film work is difficult to fix by maintaining a certain distance from the outer surface of the bridge foundation, it is first fixed by electric welding to the reinforcing bars. Therefore, the dismantling operation of the formwork is complicated and difficult, and if it is not dismantled, the formwork is corroded, resulting in water pollution.
In addition, in the conventional bridge foundation reinforcement method of the bridges made as described above, if the clogging through the seat pile, the length of the pile pile is constant on the floor located in the water regardless of the surrounding topography of the bridge foundation may be a weak part. .
Then, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in more detail for the conventional bridge bridge foundation scrubbing method and its problems.
1 to 4 is a view showing a conventional bridge bridge foundation scour prevention method, Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a scour prevention method using sandstone, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a scour prevention method using a gabion hole, Figure 3 Is a cross-sectional view showing a scour prevention method using a sheet pile, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a scour prevention method using a concrete block mat.
First, the scour prevention method using the sandstone of Figure 1 is easy for temporary and emergency construction and can be underwater construction, there is a disadvantage in the construction efficiency (construction quality) is low and the construction efficiency when dropped underwater. And since there is no interconnection between the sandstone and the sandstone, the construction is close to elliptical shape, so there is a risk of falling in the event of flooding or heavy rain.At this time, the felled sandstone may collide with the lower bridge and cause safety accident and defect There is.
And the scour prevention method using the gabion perforation of FIG. 2 is easy for temporary and emergency construction and can be underwater construction like the four stone method, it is difficult to confirm the construction efficiency (construction quality) when the water is dropped and the corrosion of the wire mesh This has a short lifespan. In addition, there is a fear of loss due to displacement due to scour in flooding or heavy rain, and there is a fear that a second local scour may proceed as the lost gabions accumulate downstream.
In addition, the scour prevention method using a sheet pile of FIG. 3 is a construction method when the support base is deep, so that sufficient load transfer can be achieved by driving a plurality of piles to reach the support base. A footing is installed over a plurality of piles and a pier column is installed in the footing.
The scour prevention method using the sheet pile is semi-permanent, has excellent rigidity and good safety of the substructure, but underwater construction is impossible, construction efficiency is low, temporary screening is required, and scour may occur outside the pile. . In addition, there is a problem of post-treatment of the residue of the trench due to excessive amount of excavation during construction, and it requires a lot of work space, so it is difficult to simultaneously proceed with the work, and thus a lot of construction period is required. In addition, when driving small piles, noise and vibration are severely generated, causing civil complaints, and when foundation foundation is gravel layer, the driving and penetration of piles are difficult, and only the piles are supported by piles, making them vulnerable to lateral pressure. There is this.
Finally, the scour prevention method using the concrete block mat of Figure 4 is easy to check the quality, such as the connection of the concrete block mat and assembled on the land, the construction efficiency is high and can be installed according to the surface area. In addition, the low center of gravity planar, all the blocks are connected, there is no fear of loss of conduction in the case of red sand or heavy rain, there is an advantage that can be underwater construction. However, the scour prevention method using the concrete block mat has a disadvantage in that the construction cost is much higher than the other construction methods, the construction using a large crane.
In addition, the conventional scour prevention methods are affected by the impact of acidity, alkalinity, salinity and flowing rocks of the flowing water because the foundation structure of the existing piers, especially underwater foundations are always in contact with the water Over time, it causes scour, the surface of which is corroded and damaged. At this time, the scour phenomenon is progressed slowly in the water, so it is not easily detected, and may develop to a level that hinders the safety of the bridge after a long time. The foundation of the damaged pier is repaired by underwater work by placing and filling underwater concrete with scoured areas, or by installing water barriers around the pier foundation, draining the water in the partitioned space, and performing repair work. have.
However, as is well known, underwater work is difficult to carry out for a long time, so the construction period is longer than necessary, and the water barrier must be installed firmly to withstand the water pressure, so the work of dismantling and removing it after completion of construction There is a problem that must be accompanied. In addition, in the conventional repair method, since the concrete layer filling the scoured site falls off again, the repair effect could not be greatly expected.
Technical problem to be solved by the present invention in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, by mounting a bag or a two or more steps around the pier foundation filled with local dredging soil, and binds with one rope, construction is easy and construction period and The purpose of this study is to present a bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scour prevention construction method and structure that can drastically reduce construction cost.

In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to propose a bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scour prevention construction method and structure that can be used to reinforce the bridge foundation and at the same time prevent scour using local dredged soil.
In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to not only enable the foundation reinforcement and scour prevention of bridge bridges, but also the bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scrubbing construction method and structure that can remove the soil piled up on the river floor together with the structure To present.
In addition, another technical problem to be achieved by the present invention is to build a dredged sanding bag around the bridge foundation and bind it together with a rope to strengthen the connectivity and easy construction of bridge bridge foundation reinforcement and scour prevention construction method and its structure To present.
