Description:

ASSEMBLY SYSTEM FOR PREFABRICATED SECONDARY TUNNEL LINING

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention is related to the system of translatory assembling of prefabricated tunnel secondary lining to already installed beds-channels by means of automatic hydraulically powered scaffolding, achieving in this way saving of working time in the tunnel.

According to the International Patent Classification (IPC), the subject of this invention is classified under and designated by classification symbol E21D 11/08, 11/18, 11/40.

TECHNICAL PROBLEM

Technical problems, which are solved by this invention relating to the assembly system of prefabricated secondary tunnel lining, are the following:

1. Beds-channels design in tunnel secondary lining,

2. Assembly of elements of tunnel secondary lining, 3. Assembly of elements of lowered ceiling,

4. Assembling of elements of lowered ceiling in tunnel reconstruction,

5. Concreting of intermediate space between the primary lining and prefabricated tunnel secondary lining,

6. Assembling of partition- wall for emergency escape area.

The solution of these technical problems should unite all the following technical- technological characteristics:

a) particles assembled to arc-unity form have to represent the final processing of the surface of tunnel lining, b) water-proof insulating layer on the outer surface of prefabricated elements and rubber sealing on the lateral sides have to create water-proof layer in the way that there is no need to have separate water-proof insulation on tunnel primary lining, c) by producing prefabricated elements made of fire-proof concrete provide protection of concrete filling and primary tunnel lining against collapsing in case of fire in the tunnel, in which case the fire-proof concrete constitutes between 10% and 15% of classic secondary tunnel lining, d) prefabricated elements have concrete filling panel purpose, and by concreting system, applied simultaneously with the assembling of lining a continuous and quality controlled concreting of intermediate space should be achieved.

STATE OF THE ART

In our country there is no system worked-out in detail for assembling of prefabricated tunnel secondary lining, and monolith tunnel lining is made by means of mobile lining, in the way that first primary lining with water-proof insulation is made, and after that monolith secondary tunnel lining is made in panelling; the progress is conditioned by water-proof panelling length and by the time needed for concrete to be hardened after being built in. In the world there is, far as we know, the solution of prefabricated lining only for tunnels made by TBM's "mole", which is completely different from this proposed by the invention. The only invention of assembling prefabricated tunnel lining, for which we know, is our previously invented solution including scaffolding for circular assembling procedure, which is applied in patent application PCT/HRO 1/00046.

DESCRIPTION OF TECHNICAL PROBLEM SOLUTION

1 - Design of prefabricated elements "bed-channel"

The solution is presented in three basic forms:

Bed - channel (fig. Ia and fig. Ib) Bed - channel - drainage bed (fig. 2a and 2b) Bed - channel - channel (fig. 3a and 3b)

Channels assembling is starting after primary lining parallel to setting up the sewerage by the system of half and half longitudinal section in the way that road construction must be finished up to the final asphalt bed. Free space between primary lining and the back channel facade must be filled with M30 waterproof concrete up to the barbacana" s level including inclinations 2-5 % in relation to barbacana, and up to the height - 0,2 m bellow the upper edge of the channel with concrete without fraction 0-4 mm, so that the water can pass through up to barbacana and further in the channel and in the sewerage.

2 - Assembling of prefabricated elements for secondary lining (C, D).

Assembling of approximately 6,5 tons (= 14560 pounds) heavy elements under the tunnel's arch roof, with the condition that free space between prefabricated assembling elements and primary tunnel lining is limited to twenty centimetres, is a very demanding technical problem, which we solved by the scaffolding system for translatory lateral and vertical translating.

The scaffolding (1) comprises the central part with free archway for transient vehicles from building-site, and lateral elements (4) that are used for acceptance and assembling of lower lining elements (C), making possible changing of positions in longitudinal and transversal direction, and vertically lifting elements (24) for receiving and assembling top head elements of upper lining (D) on which vacuum-elements elements (25) are installed for accepting,

longitudinal and transversal changing of positions of assembling element (D). On the front side of scaffolding on the portals (26) bridge-cranes (27) are installed to receive lining elements (C 5 D) from the transporters, and for lifting, turning and setting up of lateral element (C) on lateral parts (4) and the top head element (D) on vertically lifting element (24). In the structure of scaffolding there are provisional assembling beds (7) for receiving lateral prefabricated element (C) on bed- channel (A, B, G), which have also the purpose to fasten panelling for concrete of intermediate space between element (C) and bed-channel (A, B, G).

3) Assembling of the lowered ceiling (E, F).

On the backside of the scaffolding there are console-cranes (38) assembled on the portals (37) for receiving and assembling of the lowered ceiling (E) together with the partition walls (F). Description of the assembly, the manner of fastening and provision of the stability are given with the description of the drawings to be conculted.

4) Assembling of the lowered ceiling (E, F) in the reconstruction of the existing tunnels

On the front side of the scaffolding the lifting element (24) is disassembled and then assembled between the front and back portal (26) with previous disassembling of bridge-cranes (28). The still tabernacle support (40) is installed on the lifting element (24) with built in required number of drilling machines (41) to drill tunnel-bores in tunnel lining to install the anchors with the length resulted from the calculation of lifting power related to the quality of tunnel lining.

To the lateral parts (4) for receiving, lifting and assembling lateral elements (C), the working scaffolding (42) is assembled, from which the anchors are built in for receiving the lowered ceiling.

On the backside of the scaffolding on portals (37), the console-cranes (38) are installed for receiving and assembling of the lowered ceiling (E) together with the partition- walls (F).

5) Concreting of the space between the primary lining and secondary prefabricated lining

On the front side of the scaffolding, the pump for concrete filling (29) with flexible tube support (30) is used for concreting the intermediate space between primary and secondary tunnel lining, and the support (30) is travelling transversally to the tunnel axe together with the support (36) along the support (35), which is following the curved form of the secondary tunnel lining, and flexible tube support for concreting (30) is travelling longitudinally along the support (36) to be introduced in the intermediate space between primary and secondary prefabricated tunnel lining.
