TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to a multifunctional geotechnical mechanics test system for temperature, humidity and salinity control in extreme environments, belonging to the field of marine geotechnical engineering and geotechnical engineering test technology. BACKGROUND
[0002] In (marine) geotechnical engineering, the failure mechanism of geotechnical materials and the interface between soil and structure is essentially the result of long-term stress accumulation and complex environmental (temperature, humidity, salt corrosion) coupling. It presents significant particularity in scenes such as coastal saline soil and island reef foundation. The interface stability is restricted by temperature effect, humidity change, salt mist corrosion and creep behavior: on the one hand, seasonal temperature difference, tidal humidity fluctuation and salt erosion will change the physical and mechanical properties of soil and structure (such as geosynthetic materials), leading to the decay of interface strength; on the other hand, the creep deformation of the interface under long-term shear stress will continue to accumulate, which is particularly prominent in marine engineering such as reinforced soil retaining wall and submarine pipeline foundation, which relies on the reinforcement effect of geosynthetic materials. With the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, the temperature, humidity and even salinity of the environment of soil, structure and geosynthetic materials are showing dramatic fluctuations. Such multi-parameter coupling has an undeniable impact on their mechanical properties and interface behavior. Therefore, it is urgent to carry out systematic research on soil strength, soil-structure interface mechanical properties and geosynthetic material mechanical properties under different temperature, humidity and salinity conditions. However, the existing test equipment has obvious limitations: in terms of environmental simulation, the temperature and humidity control accuracy is insufficient or the adjustment range is narrow (mostly limited to normal temperature or small amplitude fluctuation range), it is difficult to reproduce extreme low temperature, high temperature, high humidity and other complex scenes, and more commonly lack of salt mist corrosion and other salinity environment simulation capability, which cannot reveal the degradation mechanism of salt erosion on material interface in scenes such as coastal saline soil and island reef foundation; in terms of functional integration, traditional equipment is mostly designed for single test type (such as direct shear apparatus only for shear test, and pull-out apparatus only for interface pull-out test), which needs to be equipped with multiple separate equipment for direct shear, pull-out, creep, crushing and piercing tests, not only occupying a large amount of laboratory space, increasing the purchase and maintenance cost, but also reducing the comparability of test data due to equipment differences, and the operation process is complicated and inefficient.
[0003] The existing research on test instruments for measuring the effect of temperature and humidity on the mechanical properties of soil and structure interface is as follows: Patent application number CN201711370202.5: only controls temperature through a constant temperature water bath circulation system, without humidity and salinity control function; only supports sand direct shear test, cannot test soil and structure interface mechanical properties; does not have multi-functional integration capability such as pull-out, piercing and crushing, and does not have visual monitoring function.
[0004] Patent application number CN201811310485.9: missing temperature, humidity, and salinity control module, limited to normal temperature environment testing; although it supports direct shear and pullout test integration and dynamic load application, the data monitoring does not integrate environmental parameters, and the influence of the environment on the mechanical properties cannot be analyzed; no visualization function.
[0005] Patent application CN202310289793.2: only integrates high and low temperature systems (-20℃ to 50℃), without humidity, salinity control, and temperature and humidity coupling simulation capabilities; the function is limited to direct shear and pullout tests, lacks piercing, crushing, and other modules, and does not use standardized accessories for quick switching; no visualization monitoring function.
[0006] Patent application number CN202121477710.5: no temperature, humidity, or salinity control function, limited to normal temperature testing; only supports direct shear and pullout, without multi-functional expansion capabilities; no mention of large-scale sample adaptability, and no visualization function.
[0007] Patent application number CN201910407217.7: although it can perform creep tests, it does not consider the influence of temperature, humidity, and salinity on the mechanical properties of the sample, and does not have related environmental control modules; the function is single and only suitable for vertical direct shear creep; no visualization function.
[0008] Patent publication number CN118424908 A: no temperature, humidity, or salinity control, unable to simulate extreme environments such as freezing and thawing, high temperature, etc.; only targets internal shear of soil samples, without a dedicated test module for the interface between soil and structures; no visualization monitoring function.
[0009] Patent publication number CN221631205U: no temperature, humidity, or salinity control module, without integrated environmental simulation function; only targets rock sample shear, without soil and structure interface test function, and no sensor or observation interface reserved; no visualization function.
[0010] Patent application number CN200910200536.7: no wide-range temperature control capability, no humidity or salinity control function, unable to meet the testing needs in extreme environments such as low temperature and high temperature; although it supports soil synthesis material related direct shear tests, the function is single and has no visualization monitoring function.
[0011] In summary, existing patents generally have problems such as missing environmental control dimensions (no humidity, salinity control, limited temperature control range), low functional integration (only supporting single or a few test types), and lack of visualization monitoring capabilities, making it difficult to meet the research needs of multi-dimensional mechanical properties of geotechnical materials in complex environments.
[0012] To this end, the application precisely reproduces extreme and complex environmental conditions by integrating a wide-range temperature and humidity (-50℃~200℃, 10%RH~95%RH) and salinity (0-40%) combined control system; at the same time, modular standardization design is adopted to realize rapid switching of multiple test functions such as direct shear, drawing, creep, crushing, stretching, and piercing. SUMMARY

The core purpose is to solve the problems of single function of traditional equipment, inability to simulate complex marine environments (temperature and humidity, salinity), limited sample size, lack of microscopic observation means, and inability to perform long-term creep tests.
[0014] The object of the application can be achieved by the following technical solutions.

[0019] The pull-out test box is fixed by a standardized bolt interface with a pressure plate, the geosynthetic material is clamped by a clamp, one end is connected with a horizontal push-pull rod, and the other end is limited in displacement by a middle stopper. The stopper is fixed between double tracks to prevent lateral deviation of the sample during the test.
[0020] The horizontal push-pull rod is connected with the adapter block and the pull-out clamp by means of a latch, and the switch between the direct shear mode and the pull-out mode can be completed within 10 seconds; the shear box and the pull-out test box are quickly installed by means of a pre-positioning pin and a bolt.

[0027] Compared with existing test systems, the significant advantages of the present application are: 1) The application is designed with a standardized interface and an adapter interface, so that the sample device and the fixing clamp can be flexibly assembled with the shared push-pull rod and the telescopic fixing rod, relying on the same horizontal and vertical force loading mechanism, the application can complete the application and collection of various types of forces, greatly reducing the cost investment and structural complexity of the equipment. The key technical innovation of the multifunctional integration is reflected in the following two aspects: ① Core loading platform and multi-module compatible design: one loading system platform, controlled by a servo motor and a hydraulic servo system, realizes horizontal / vertical loading; realizes the sharing of six types of test functions such as direct shear, pull-out, creep, puncture, stretching and crushing; all function mode switching components (such as shear box, pull-out box, puncture head, clamp, etc.) adopt standardized adapter interface (bolt / pin), quick disassembly and assembly, mode switching can be completed within a few minutes. ② Flexible adaptation of dynamic loading mode: the servo motor and the hydraulic system can be flexibly switched to static, dynamic or creep loading mode according to the test requirements, fully meeting the diversified requirements of different test scenarios for loading mode.

The temperature and humidity, salinity sensors and mechanical data are collected synchronously, supporting multi-environmental parameter-stress-strain coupling analysis, and filling the gap of traditional equipment in the interface creep research under marine extreme environment.
[0029] 3) The application can be compatible with multi-size sample tests, the upper shear box has multiple sizes and models, and the loading system can set the size area to accurately convert and collect the stress, meeting the testing of different size samples. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are based on the technical solution of the present invention and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures. However, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0032] Example 1 like Figures 1-4 As shown, this invention discloses a multifunctional geotechnical mechanics testing system for temperature, humidity, and salinity control under extreme environments. Through combined temperature and humidity control, it is adaptable to large-scale applications and includes visualization modules (such as...). Figure 24 , 25 Core innovations include (as shown), and the ability to achieve multi-directional force loading through standardized interfaces. This enables tests such as direct shear / creep, pull-out, single-particle crushing, and geosynthetic tensile / puncture tests, and supports the study of the mechanical properties of large-scale specimens under extreme temperature and humidity coupling conditions. Furthermore, it provides visualization of the experimental process, thus supplementing the research in this area. For example... Figure 1 The structural diagram is the main view of the test system, mainly consisting of threaded column 3, vertical pressure rod 16, horizontal push rod 7, anti-fog observation window 26, sensor 4, data acquisition system 1, horizontal push-pull rod 5, and adapter block 6 (its main view and top view are shown in the diagram). Figure 15 , 16 As shown in the diagram. (As shown in the diagram) Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of Embodiment 1, which consists of a threaded column 3, a vertical pressure rod 16, and an upper shear box 9 (its main view is shown below). Figure 13 (as shown), horizontal push rod 7, lower shear box 10 (its main view is shown) Figure 14 (As shown), slider 18, pressure plate 8, anti-fog observation window 26, water tank 12, high-speed camera 27 (its side view is shown) Figure 23 It consists of sensor 4, data acquisition system 1, horizontal push-pull rod 5 and adapter block 6, as shown, and is used for direct shear creep experiments. Figure 9 This is a top view of the internal structure of pure soil under direct shear test conditions. Figure 10 This is a top view of the internal fixture structure during a direct shear test, which includes a water tank 12, a direct shear fixture 13, and a track 19. Figure 11 This is a top view of the internal track, which mainly consists of track 19 and stop block 20. Regarding the temperature and humidity control section, according to... Figure 12 The internal structure diagram of the integrated environmental temperature, humidity, and salinity control box shows the salt solution tank 21 (its main view is shown below). Figure 21 The system consists of a salinity sensor 22, an electric stirrer 23, and an atomizing nozzle 24 (as shown in the image). The specific salt solution tank can be seen in the image. Figure 21 The device consists of a salinity sensor 22, an electric stirrer 23, and an atomizing nozzle 24. The specific steps of the direct shear creep experiment are as follows: ① Place the two threaded holes on the bottom of the adapter block opposite the two welded screws on the rail plate on the rail plate, connect the horizontal push-pull rod to the left side of the adapter block, insert the cylindrical pin into the circular hole on the upper surface of the adapter block, and connect the horizontal push rod to the right side of the adapter block. ② Fix the lower shear box and the sink as a whole on the pressure bearing plate. ③ Fix the geosynthetic material, lay the geosynthetic material on the surface of the sink, and cover the six conical holes on the surface of the sink below the shear test geosynthetic material clamp, then fix the geosynthetic material with the sink through the shear test geosynthetic material clamp (the front view and side view thereof are shown in Figure 18 、 19 ), and the fixed geosynthetic material should ensure complete coverage of the surface in contact with the upper shear box and be flat without wrinkles. ④ Prepare the sample, place the upper shear directly above the geosynthetic material and completely cover the surface in contact with the upper shear box, and load the sample with a length, width, and height of 300x300x75mm according to the test requirements. ⑤ Adjust the distance between the horizontal bar and the upper shear box by rotating the rotating disc, so that the horizontal bar is in contact with the right side of the upper shear box. In this way, the upper shear box can be kept from moving to the right without rotating the rotating disc. ⑥ According to the test requirements, set the temperature and humidity (such as 40℃, 80% RH), salinity (5%), normal stress, normal stress loading speed, steps, test direction, constant stress control mode, control value, control parameter, switching condition, pause time, and cycle number, etc. data through the computer instrument operation software, and then perform the test. ⑦ The test will first load the normal stress, and load to the set normal stress according to the normal stress loading speed, and maintain it. ⑧ When the set normal stress is reached and stabilized, the horizontal push rod is in contact with the left side of the lower shear box, and starts to push the lower shear box, the sink, and the geosynthetic material fixed with the sink as a whole along the contact surface between the geosynthetic material and the sample to perform the shear test under the creep condition. ⑨ Start the high-speed camera simultaneously to record the interface shear process; after the test is completed, CT scan the sample to analyze the distribution of salt crystals inside the sample. ⑩ After the test is completed, the software will automatically generate the shear stress and deformation relationship curve, force and time relationship curve, temperature and humidity salinity-stress coupling curve, and calculate the cohesion between the geosynthetic material and the soil sample, the friction angle, and the friction ratio. The time-shear displacement relationship curve of the direct shear creep test at 60℃ is shown in Figure 26 .
[0033] Example 2 Unlike the implementation case 1, the functional mode switching assembly of this embodiment includes a tensile mechanical test module, as shown in Figure 6 , which mainly consists of a threaded column 3, a sensor 4, an anti-fog observation window 26, a micro-CT scanner 28 (the top view thereof is shown in Figure 22 ), a tensile clamp 14, a tensile box 11 (the front view thereof is shown in Figure 17 ), and a data acquisition system 1. The tensile test process using this example is as follows: ①Loosen the fixing nut of the shear box and the pressure plate, remove the upper and lower shear boxes, and fix the pull-out test box on the pressure plate by screws. ②Place the two screws welded on the rail plate on the two screw holes at the bottom of the geosynthetic material pull-out test fixture, connect the horizontal push-pull rod to the left side of the fixture, add the test sample into the pull-out test box, and when the test sample is almost flush with the left side hole in the pull-out test box, place the geosynthetic material along the hole, and fix the geosynthetic material on the right side of the hole with the fixture. ③The test requires a test sample with a length, width and height of 250x200x75mm. ④According to the test requirements, set the temperature and humidity (such as 0℃, 20℃, 40℃, 60℃ and 80℃, 60% RH), salinity (10%), normal stress, normal stress loading speed, steps, test direction, constant stress control mode, control value, control parameter, switching condition, pause time, cycle number and other data through the computer instrument operation software, and then perform the test. ⑤The test will first adjust the environmental parameters to the set value, and then load the normal stress after consolidation for 2 hours. According to the normal stress loading speed, load to the set normal stress, and maintain it. After reaching the set normal stress and stabilizing, the horizontal push-pull rod starts to pull out the geosynthetic material, and performs the pull-out test under the condition of creep. ⑥The high-speed camera records the sliding process of the geogrid-saline soil interface in real time; after the test is completed, the CT scan analyzes the corrosion of the grid ribs. ⑦After the test is completed, the software will automatically generate the shear stress and deformation relationship curve, force and time relationship curve, temperature and humidity salinity-stress coupling curve, and calculate the cohesion between the geosynthetic material and the soil sample, the friction angle and the friction ratio.
[0034] Pull-out test record: 1. Screen the calcareous sand and Fujian standard sand samples, strictly control the particle size distribution curve of each group of samples to remain consistent, and divide each group of samples into three times for loading. After loading the test sample each time, the test sample is subjected to compaction treatment.
[0035] 2. Apply vaseline to the left side of the drawing box to reduce the friction between the geogrid and the drawing box during the drawing process. After the first sample is filled, put the geogrid into the left side of the drawing box and connect it with the clamp connected to the horizontal sensor on the left side. Tighten the clamp bolt to fix the geogrid, then fill the second and third samples. For different particle sizes of calcareous sand and Fujian standard sand, control the weight of each group of samples to remain consistent. After the sample is filled, level and compact the top of the sample, cover the upper loading plate, and contact the normal stress loading rod with the upper loading plate through software control to achieve the specified normal stress. Turn on the environmental temperature box and set the predetermined test environment to allow the sample to consolidate for two hours under the specified environmental conditions to ensure that the inside and outside of the sample reach the preset temperature, humidity, and salinity. Then, clear the data in the software. The drawing rate of the test is set to 1 mm / min, the normal stress is set to 20 kPa, 35 kPa, and 50 kPa, the test temperature is set to (0℃, 20℃, 40℃, 60℃, and 80℃), the humidity is set to 60% RH, and the salinity is set to 10%. The displacement-shear stress relationship diagram is shown in Figure 27 Table 1 shows the data of the coral sand-geogrid drawing test.
[0036] Table 1 Coral sand-geogrid drawing test data Example 3 Unlike Example 2, the functional mode switching assembly of this example includes a single particle crushing test test module, as shown in Figure 8 which includes a lower shear box 10, test pads, and the like. The process of performing a single particle crushing test on coral sand using this example is as follows.
[0037] ① Place the two threaded holes on the bottom of the adapter block opposite the two welded screws on the rail plate on the rail plate, connect the horizontal push-pull rod to the left side of the adapter block, insert the cylindrical pin into the circular hole on the upper surface of the adapter block, and connect the horizontal push rod to the right side of the adapter block. ② Fix the lower shear box and the sink as a whole on the pressure plate. ③ The temperature control single particle crushing experiment is carried out according to the requirements of GB-T44750-2024 specification. ④ The selected calcareous sand single particle is washed with clean water and soaked for 24 hours. The dust on the surface of the calcareous sand is completely washed away to ensure that the test results are not affected by external dust. ⑤ Dry the calcareous sand single particle at 80°C. ⑥ Place the calcareous sand single particle in the environmental temperature and humidity salinity box, set the temperature to 40°C, the humidity to 50% RH, and the salinity to 10%, and preheat for 1 hour. ⑦ Place a calcareous sand single particle in the middle of the upper and lower loading plates, control the vertical loading rod to descend, and when the software acquisition system displays the loading force, it indicates that the upper loading plate has just contacted the calcareous sand particle, stop the vertical loading rod from descending and reset the vertical displacement. Continue to operate the vertical loading rod until the particle is crushed, and simultaneously start the CT scanner to record the internal pore evolution of the particle in real time. ⑧ Continue to operate the vertical loading rod until the software acquisition system shows that the loading force has rapidly decreased, indicating that the calcareous sand single particle has been crushed. The maximum loading force measured is the peak load of the calcareous sand single particle. ⑨ After the test is completed, generate the crushing strength-salinity relationship curve and analyze the weakening effect of salt crystallization on the crushing strength.
[0038] The temperature is 0°C, 40°C, 80°C, the humidity is 50% RH, and the salinity is 10%. The single particle crushing test of calcareous sand is shown in Figure 28 .
[0039] Example 4 The functional mode switching assembly of this embodiment includes a geosynthetic tensile puncture test module, as shown in Figure 7 , which includes a threaded column 3, a detachable puncture device 17 (a conical puncture head front view is shown in Figure 20 ), a horizontal push rod 7, a geosynthetic material clamp 15, a rail 19, and a fog-proof observation window 26. The process of conducting a geosynthetic tensile puncture test using this embodiment is as follows: ① Remove the water tank and the lower shear box. ② Connect the geosynthetic material adapter clamp to the right side fixed rod and connect the pulling clamp to the left side horizontal push-pull rod, ensuring that the two are in the same horizontal plane. ③ Fix the geosynthetic material to be tested at both ends of the clamp. ④ Turn on the environmental temperature and humidity salinity box and set the temperature to 60℃, the humidity to 90% RH, and the salinity to 8%, and preheat for 2 hours. ⑤ Turn on the loading system, move the horizontal push-pull rod to the left, and perform the tensile test. The high-speed camera records the tensile deformation process of the material. ⑥ Connect the geosynthetic material piercing device to the vertical pressure rod, turn on the loading system, and apply a normal stress to the geosynthetic material downward from the vertical loading rod to perform the piercing test. Record the correlation between the peak piercing force and the salinity.
[0040] Example 5 Unlike Example 4, the functional mode switching assembly of this example includes a direct shear test module, as shown in Figure 9 The process of performing a pure soil direct shear test using this example is as follows: ① Keep the water tank and the lower shear box switching device (a hollow water tank with an opening of 300x300mm, see the attached Figure 5 ). ② Screen the calcareous sand sample and strictly control the particle size distribution curve of each group of samples to remain consistent. ③ Fill the lower shear box with the sample, which is divided into three times. After each time of sample filling, the sample is compacted. ④ After the lower shear box sample is filled, the upper shear box is installed and connected with the right side bolt. ⑤ Then fill the upper shear sample, which is also divided into three times. After each time of sample filling, the sample is compacted. ⑥ After the sample is filled, the top of the sample is leveled and compacted, and the upper loading plate is covered. ⑦ The software-controlled normal stress loading rod is in contact with the upper loading plate and reaches the specified normal stress. ⑧ Turn on the environmental temperature and humidity salinity control box and set the predetermined test environment. Let the sample consolidate for two hours under the set environmental conditions to ensure that the inside and outside of the sample reach the preset conditions. Then, the software data acquisition system is cleared. ⑨ Set the test shear rate to 1mm / min, the normal stress to 35kPa, the test temperature to 0℃, 40℃, 80℃, the humidity to 50% RH, and the salinity to 10%. ⑩ When the shear displacement reaches 60mm, the test is completed.
[0041] The shear displacement-shear stress relationship curve of the calcareous sand pure soil direct shear test under 35kPa, temperatures of 0℃, 40℃, 80℃, humidity of 50% RH, and salinity of 10% is shown in Figure 29 .
