Abstract

A road network balanced drainage method aimed at reducing urban waterlogging is disclosed. According to the drainage demand, the existing intersection elevation is changed or the intersection elevation that meets the drainage requirement is designed and implemented in new construction so that the intersection drainage is distributed according to the desired proportion; the water flowing to the water accumulation position is transferred to reduce the waterlogging degree. Through the analysis of the depth of water accumulation in the whole road network, the method of water flow distribution at the intersection is used to make the precipitation flow evenly distributed in the whole road network. The method can be used for solving serious water accumulation of a certain road section, the balanced drainage of the whole road network, the technical transformation of existing intersections, and for the planned and designed roads. The method can effectively eliminate and prevent urban waterlogging.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A road network balanced drainage method aimed at reducing urban waterlogging, comprising:
Step 1: determining a water accumulation section;
Step 2: taking the intersection at the upstream of the road section where the water accumulation section is located as the first intersection;
Step 3: judging if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the first intersection;
Step 4: carrying out elevation reconstruction at the first intersection if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the first intersection so that the water flowing into the first intersection flows to the road other than the road where the water accumulation section is located; if the requirement of flow distribution is not met at the first intersection, tracing along the water inlet road of the first intersection upwards to the second intersection at upstream side;
Step 5: judging if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the second intersection;
Step 6: carrying out elevation reconstruction at the second intersection if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the second intersection so that the water flowing into the second intersection flows towards the road outside of the first intersection; if the requirement of flow distribution is not met at the second intersection, tracing along the water inlet road of the second intersection upwards to the third intersection at upstream side;
Step 7: judging if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the third intersection;
Step 8: carrying out elevation reconstruction at the third intersection if the requirement of flow distribution is met at the third intersection so that the water flowing into the third intersection flows to the road outside of the second intersection; if the requirement of flow distribution is not met at the third intersection, tracing along the water inlet road of the third intersection upwards to the fourth intersection at upstream side; and
repeating Step 1 to Step 8 until the intersection meeting the requirements of flow distribution is found and the facade renovation is carried out at the intersection, so that the flow of water into the intersection to flow to the road other than the upper intersection or to flow to the road other than the road where the water-logged section is located,
wherein Step 1 is (1) determining the waterlogged road section through observation and analysis, or (2) through drawing analysis and on-site observation, the section with V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at the non-intersection is determined as the waterlogged road section.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the conditions for meeting the flow distribution requirement are: in addition to the road where water accumulation sections are located, one or more longitudinal slope roads are deviating from the intersection, and there is no water accumulation section on the longitudinal slope roads deviating from the intersection.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the elevation reconstruction is to change the topography of the intersection and its limited adjacent areas according to functional requirements, so that the water flow into the intersection flows to the road other than the upper intersection or to the road other than the road where the water-logged section is located.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein if the number of longitudinal slope roads that meet the requirement of flow distribution at the same intersection is greater than or equal to 2, the amount of water entering different longitudinal slope roads can be controlled through elevation reconstruction.

5. A road construction method based on the purpose of the balanced road network drainage, comprising building a road intersecting with a road with water accumulation, the height and slope of the road at the intersection can be changed through elevation design to control the water flow to not flow or less flow to the road with water accumulation section,
wherein the roads with water accumulation sections are existing roads with waterlogged sections and water accumulation sections, existing roads with V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at non-intersections, or roads that are not built but have V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at non-intersections in the design.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, for the existing roads with waterlogged sections and water accumulation sections, and the existing roads with V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at the non-intersection, when building the intersecting roads, the newly built road will not drain towards the existing roads and/or the water originally flowing into the water accumulation section will flow to the newly built roads through elevation reconstruction at the intersection point.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein, for the unbuilt roads that have V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at the non-intersection point in the design, when newly designing and building the intersecting roads, the newly designed and built road will not drain toward the unbuilt road that has V-shaped longitudinal road surface alignment at the non-intersection point in the design, and/or the water flowing into the low point of V-shaped will flow to the newly designed and built intersecting road through elevation reconstruction at the intersection point.
