Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of outdoor in-situ direct shear testing technology, specifically relating to an in-situ direct shear testing device, testing system, and method of use. Background Technology

[0002] Accurate determination of the shear strength parameters of soil and rock masses is of great significance in geotechnical engineering construction. The direct shear test, also known as the direct shear test, is a test used in geomechanics to determine the shear strength of soil. It is based on Coulomb's law, which states that the internal friction force of soil is proportional to the normal pressure on the shear surface. During the test, the sample is placed in a shear box, with the lower box fixed and the upper box sliding horizontally. First, a vertical pressure is applied, then horizontal shear forces are gradually applied to the upper box until the sample fails. The shear strength of the soil is then determined by collecting test data throughout the process.

[0003] Currently, most commonly used equipment for related geotechnical tests is a large, integrated direct shear apparatus. In contrast, the large direct shear apparatus of this invention has a simple structure and a high degree of modularity, overcoming the shortcomings of existing large direct shear apparatuses such as heavy weight and high cost. It has advantages such as miniaturization and lightweight, and can also better control test conditions to more accurately determine the mechanical properties of the soil, improving the reliability of the large direct shear apparatus in the field and the convenience of test operation. In addition, many devices cannot achieve precise pressure application and accurate data collection.

This direct shear test system uses a square shear box, larger than those in traditional medium and small-sized direct shear test systems. A small metal box with a latex film is placed at the bottom of the shear box to realistically reproduce the flexible boundary conditions during deformation, instability, and failure of soil and rock mass.

[0063] Example 2 In this embodiment, the method of using the in-situ direct shear testing device of the present invention includes the following steps: Before excavating the test pit, the layout of the test pit and samples should be determined on-site based on the spatial distribution of structural planes within the soil and rock mass and the direction of the shear test. Test wells should be constructed at both ends of the planned trench to determine the target layer before excavation of the test pit. The geometric dimensions of the test pit should meet the testing and safety requirements. When used as a horizontal inclined support for reaction loading, the strength of the pit wall should meet the maximum load requirement; if the strength is insufficient, reinforcement measures should be taken. Sample preparation should be determined based on the development characteristics of structural planes within the soil and rock mass or the homogeneity and particle composition of the soil.

[0064] When conducting an in-situ direct shear test, first obtain a soil sample from the area to be tested. Note that it is not necessary to remove the soil sample in blocks; simply excavate the soil sample within the area. In this example, the soil sample is a cylindrical soil body with a height of 340 mm and a diameter of 500 mm.

[0065] Place the base through hole 101 of the base 1 and the through hole of the shearing clamp 4 onto the soil sample, and install the support frame 2.

[0066] The fixing clamp 3 is then placed on the fixing clamp connector 13 on the base 1 to fix the clamp 3. Place the shearing clamp 4 onto the soil and align it with the fixing clamp 3, ensuring that the two are smooth and free of impurities.

[0067] After placement, the soil should be 30-50 mm higher than the upper surface of the shear clamp 4 to ensure compression space during preloading. Ideally, the upper surface of the soil should be level with the upper surface of the shear clamp 4 after preloading.

[0068] A first pressure plate 51 is placed on the upper surface of the soil, with its four sides aligned with the four sides of the shearing clamp 4. A second pressure plate 52 is then placed on the first pressure plate 51.

[0069] When the second pressure plate 52 is placed, the side of it closest to the shear load simulation loading mechanism 6 is offset by 150-250 mm from the side of the first pressure plate 51 closest to the shear load simulation loading mechanism 6. During shearing, the shearing clamp 4 and the first pressure plate 51 will slide due to the forward push of the shear load simulation loading mechanism 6. At this time, the second pressure plate 52 moves toward the shear load simulation loading mechanism 6.

[0070] Simultaneously, the vertical load mechanism 5 continuously provides vertical load to the soil through the second pressure plate 52 and the first pressure plate 51. The vertical load mechanism 5 is connected to the top frame 201, and the vertical load mechanism 5 is in close contact with the pressure plate 53 on the second pressure plate 52 to achieve pressurization.

[0071] The shear load simulation loading mechanism 6 is fixed on the support body 60, and the force transmission rod 61 of the shear load simulation loading mechanism 6 contacts the pressure block 62 at the center of the shear clamp 4.

[0072] Connect the vertical load sensor, shear force sensor, and displacement sensor to the electrical control cabinet respectively. Set the horizontal shear rate and vertical load on the electrical control cabinet, click enable, record the data, and start the test.

[0073] Connect the computer to the electrical control cabinet via network cable, record test data, observe the maximum shear force, and stop the test and save the data after the peak value is reached and the condition stabilizes.

[0074] Example 3 An in-situ direct shear test system includes the in-situ direct shear test equipment described in Example 2 and a data acquisition system, wherein the data acquisition system includes a pressure sensor and a displacement sensor.

[0075] The in-situ direct shear test system has leakage protection and electrostatic protection functions; the test system housing should be safely grounded, with a grounding terminal and a grounding mark, and a comprehensive alarm system with alarm, protection, and human intervention functions in abnormal situations, which improves the overall safety factor of the equipment.

[0076] Unless otherwise specified, the equipment components involved in the above embodiments are all conventional equipment components, and the structural settings, working methods or control methods involved are all conventional settings, working methods or control methods in the art unless otherwise specified.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
