Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of long-term service performance evaluation technology for reinforced tunnels, and in particular to a creep testing device for the interface of steel ring reinforced shield tunnel lining and a combination thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Concrete lining structures of shield tunnels in soft soil strata are highly susceptible to structural deformation and cracking under long-term water-soil loads. Applying internal tension steel rings to prevent further tunnel deformation and improve the structure's resistance to deformation is a primary strategy for the reinforcement and maintenance of deformable tunnels. Specifically, steel plates are assembled on the inner surface of the deformable tunnel using high-strength epoxy resin adhesive or bolts. The steel plates and the deformed structure work together to resist external loads, effectively preventing further structural deformation. In this process, the long-term bonding performance between the steel plates and the deformed tunnel is crucial for improving structural stiffness and long-term service performance.

[0003] In recent years, as major projects such as shield tunnels and subway tunnels spanning rivers, lakes, and seas in my country have entered a critical stage of simultaneous construction and maintenance, the scenarios involving the treatment of defects in steel ring-reinforced deformed shield tunnels are increasing, and the deformation characteristics of shield tunnels are becoming increasingly complex. To accurately and efficiently design creep failure tests on the lining interface of steel ring-reinforced shield tunnels, the following three challenges need to be addressed: 1. Long test cycles: creep loading time under any working condition can reach at least several thousand hours; 2. High load stability requirements: taking a tunnel with a 100-year service life as an example, the lateral or longitudinal convergence deformation of any deformed tunnel develops throughout the entire service life, and the change in failure load under small deformation is minimal; 3. Complex failure load effects: the failure of interface materials after deformation of arc-shaped shield tunnel structures exhibits tensile-shear coupling characteristics, with numerous working conditions and diverse characteristics of tensile and shear force effects and their combinations.

[0004] In summary, the loading mode of the interface of tunnel lining reinforced with internally tensioned steel rings is long-term. Under continuous load, the failure of the interface material exhibits tensile-shear coupling characteristics, and the deformation and load at the interface change with the tunnel's service time. This places extremely high demands on the load and equipment stability of conventional hydraulic servo loading systems. Due to the complexity of actual ground stress and lining pressure, the poor flexibility of traditional creep testing equipment makes it difficult to meet the extensive simulation of the long-term complex load characteristics of reinforced tunnels, which greatly limits the verification and testing of tunnel reinforcement schemes. Currently, the industry still lacks efficient and systematic testing equipment for the bond interface failure of internally tensioned steel ring reinforced tunnel linings; under long-term load, determining the shear strength, bond slip, and creep deformation characteristics of the interface material has become a challenge for the stability and durability design of reinforced tunnels.

[0031] The principle of this invention is as follows:

[0032] Creep tests not only require a stable load over a long period, but also a precise load magnitude and loading rate tailored to the specific test requirements. The creep testing device for steel ring-reinforced shield tunnel lining interfaces described in this invention effectively solves these problems through a simple yet ingenious structural design:

[0033] This device directly loads the specimen using a fixed-ratio loading mechanism, while the first lever amplifies the load by a fixed ratio. This amplification aims to provide the required load while reducing the counterweight, thus minimizing equipment space and testing costs. A key feature of this device is the indirect loading of the specimen using a variable-ratio loading mechanism. The second lever of the variable-ratio mechanism and the first lever of the fixed-ratio mechanism form a series lever mechanism, allowing for significant load amplification (up to 100 times in the example below). This further reduces the counterweight size and saves costs. Furthermore, the folding structure of the second and first levers further conserves space, allowing for more equipment to be installed in the same testing space. This enables simultaneous creep testing of multiple batches of specimens with multiple devices, significantly saving time and space costs.

[0034] On the other hand, the counterweight basket of the variable ratio loading mechanism can slide back and forth on the second lever, which actually makes the length of the second lever power arm adjustable, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the load under the same counterweight weight (the adjustment accuracy in the embodiment described later can reach 1N). This not only makes it easy to achieve precise control of the loading load, but also, due to its simple operation, can well meet the control of the loading speed required by the test, so as to better simulate the real working conditions and provide more complete and accurate test data. Moreover, due to the existence of the variable ratio loading mechanism, the required load near the same counterweight block can be achieved without frequent manual changes of the counterweight block specifications, which greatly saves manpower and improves test efficiency.

[0035] Furthermore, the single device described in this invention can perform creep tests on specimens under shear or tensile stress, thus satisfying the data acquisition requirements for single-stress creep tests. By combining two devices, creep tests under both shear and tensile stresses can be performed simultaneously, simulating the actual working conditions where concrete-reinforced steel plates experience both shear and tensile stresses. This yields test data closer to real-world conditions and improves test accuracy.

[0036] Furthermore, the entire loading structure of this invention is a self-balancing system and is equipped with safety displacement baffles, so no special treatment is required for the bottom of the device. This greatly improves the flexibility of installation and use, thereby increasing the applicability and utilization rate of the device, and further reducing the requirements for the test site and lowering the operating costs. Moreover, directly connecting a tension gauge to the specimen to display the load data applied to it ensures that the load on the specimen during the test fully meets the load requirements of the test design, avoiding load value errors caused by factors such as the frictional resistance of mechanical devices and the solid volume of concrete counterweights, further improving the accuracy and precision of the test.

[0037] In summary, the creep testing device described in this invention, based on the lever principle and physical loading mode, greatly optimizes the stability and flexibility of the test load. It can simulate the interface creep failure characteristics of reinforced structures throughout the entire life cycle of deformable tunnels, while saving energy consumption for long-term creep tests lasting thousands of hours. It boasts advantages such as high test control accuracy and low testing cost. Furthermore, the device combination mechanism effectively solves the problem of simulating tension-shear coupled load under complex service environments of deformable tunnels. Biaxial combined loading provides an effective solution for complex interface creep failure problems. The low complexity of the device allows multiple instruments to work collaboratively, improving testing efficiency. The physical and lever loading modes and the device combination design reduce energy requirements, enhancing the economics of large-scale testing. This device is particularly suitable for studying interface creep failure problems of reinforced structures under large sample sizes, providing a scientific basis for the long-term stability performance evaluation of reinforced shield tunnels in engineering, and offering an economical and efficient testing approach for maintenance decisions, repair technology development, and scheme comparison for deformable shield tunnels.

[0038] Therefore, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: the device of the present invention is simple to operate, improves test efficiency, reduces test cost, and improves test accuracy and precision when used for creep testing of steel ring reinforced lining interface in tunnels.

[0076] (2) Figures 3-5 As shown, the specimen in this embodiment includes: a standard size C50 concrete block of 150mm×150mm×150mm, a reinforcing steel plate of 100mm×100mm×20mm, strength grade Q345, and epoxy resin injection type steel bonding adhesive poured between the concrete and the reinforcing steel plate.

[0077] (3) This embodiment mainly verifies the creep mechanical behavior of the bonding interface between the inner steel ring and the tunnel lining under long-term load conditions. Therefore, before the test, resistance strain gauges need to be pasted at appropriate positions on the adhesive layer of the bonding interface between the steel plate and the concrete specimen. The strain gauges selected are foil strain gauges of model BX120-#AA, with a resistance value of 120.0±0.1Ω and a sensitivity of 2.0±1%. For uniaxial shear and biaxial shear specimens, strain gauges with a wire grid size of 5×2mm (BX120-2AA) are selected. Starting from a position 10mm away from the loading end on the side, one strain gauge is evenly arranged at intervals of 20mm, for a total of 5 strain gauges. For uniaxial tensile and biaxial tensile specimens, strain gauges with a wire grid size of 3×2mm (BX120-3AA) are selected. The strain gauges are pasted along the tensile direction of the bonding interface, with 2 strain gauges symmetrically arranged on each side, for a total of 8 strain gauges. In the experiment, the Donghua DH3816N multi-channel static strain gauge was used to record strain data. Temperature compensation was set in the strain gauge channel, the acquisition frequency was 2Hz, and all channels of the acquisition instrument were zeroed before the formal loading.

[0078] (4) In the uniaxial tensile test, the concrete specimen is fixed using a clamping device. A steel handle is welded to the center of the upper surface of the reinforcing steel plate to apply the tensile load. The design of the uniaxial tensile test specimen is shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown.

[0079] In the uniaxial shear test, the concrete specimen is also fixed using a clamp. To avoid force eccentricity during shearing, a steel handle is welded to the middle of the upper side of the reinforcing steel plate to apply the shear load. The design of the uniaxial shear test specimen is shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown.

[0080] In biaxial tensile and biaxial shear tests, since the specimen is subjected to both tensile and shear loads, a steel handle needs to be welded to the center of the upper surface of the reinforcing steel plate and the center of the upper side. The design of the biaxial test specimen is shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown.

[0081] (5) Fix the prepared unit body to the platform with fixing bolts and safety baffle, and connect the steel handle of the reinforcing steel plate to the tension gauge. The tension gauge is an S-type column load cell with model MZLZ / 10T and a maximum range of 10T. This sensor has the advantages of high accuracy, good strength and good stability. When equipped with a digital measuring instrument, it can realize the real-time display and recording of the load value. The digital display instrument is model MZ4896 / 220V and the display accuracy is 1N.

[0082] (6) Before loading, a stress of approximately 0.05 MPa should be applied to the specimen to observe whether it is centered and whether any torsion occurs. If so, the specimen needs to be re-centered until it is in a pure shear or pure tension state. After the stress stabilizes, unload the specimen and reset the digital display reading to zero.

[0083] (7) Level the device by changing the length of the vertical steel tie rod to ensure that the axes of the first lever and the second lever are both horizontal.

[0084] (8) During the formal loading process, the rate of load application needs to be strictly controlled. At the beginning, the load is achieved by gradually increasing the counterweight. When the load value is close to the test design load level, the weight is stopped and the "sliding device" is used to fine-tune the test load value until the digital display reaches the test design maximum stress value. Several representative load values ​​are shown in Table 1.

[0086]

[0087] (9) Immediately record the instantaneous strain of the specimen when it begins formal loading. Then record test data every 30 seconds until the load reaches the design load level. After the test enters the creep stage, record test data at 1 min, 3 min, 6 min, 9 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 h, 1.5 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, and 12 h. Subsequently, gradually reduce the measurement frequency of test data according to the degree of change in the bond interface strain data until the designed creep test duration of 1000 h is reached. The creep curves under different shear stresses and tensile stresses are shown in the attached figures. Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown.

[0088] If the specimen does not peel off at the interface after 1000 hours of creep as set in the test, static loading is required until the specimen fails. The residual strength of the bond interface after creep is tested, and the effect of creep on the bond strength and failure mode of the bond interface is studied by comparing the results with those of static tests that have not undergone creep.
