Large-scale multifunctional frozen soil-composition contact surface cycle direct shear apparatus and test operation method

Abstract

The invention is a large multifunctional frozen soil-structure interface cyclic direct shear apparatus and a test operation method. The structure of the apparatus comprises a horizontal and vertical loading system, a horizontal and vertical displacement and a load sensor, a temperature control and refrigeration system, a temperature sensor, a data collecting and self-stabilizing system, a guide rail system, and a soil sample box and supports. The test operation method comprises the steps of: 1. Installing the interface steel of required roughness; 2. Applying normal boundary conditions to a soil sample; 3. Cooling the soil sample; and 4. When the temperature cools to a target temperature, performing a shearing to the frozen soil interface in a selected shearing speed, at the same time the date collecting system beginning to record the stress-strain relation of the frozen soil interface. The apparatus and the method are the advantageous in that: 1) accurate control of the interface temperature in the temperature range between 0 DEG C and -20 DGE C can be achieved; 2) three normal boundary conditions of constant stiffness, constant displacement and constant stress can be accurately applied; 3) interfaces of various roughness can be simulated; 4) two shear modes of cyclic shear and monotonic shear can be realized; and 5) the stress applying and displacement control are accurate.
