Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering testing technology, specifically to a triaxial loading device for solidified soil samples in a temperature-controlled multi-ion marine environment and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In geotechnical testing, triaxial apparatuses can be used to conduct triaxial compression tests, including consolidated drained tests and consolidated undrained tests, and are commonly used to measure the shear properties of soil. The pressure chamber is one of the core components of a triaxial apparatus, and its main function is to create a stable and controllable consolidation environment for the soil sample, thereby simulating the three-dimensional constrained stress state that the soil experiences in actual engineering applications.

[0003] In coastal engineering construction, marine resource development, and coastal protection, the study of the mechanical properties of solidified soil is crucial. Due to the complex multi-ion system present in the marine environment, such as chloride, sulfate, and magnesium ions, these ions can react physicochemically with solidified soil, significantly affecting its strength, deformation characteristics, and durability. This can easily lead to deterioration in the strength, permeability, and compressibility of the solidified soil, ultimately causing structural instability and failure. However, conventional triaxial loading devices are mainly used to simulate the mechanical properties of soil in terrestrial environments and have not simulated the complex mechanical effects of multi-ion marine erosion environments on soil, especially solidified soil based on solid waste. The evolution of the shear mechanical properties of solidified soil based on solid waste under multi-ion marine erosion environments remains unclear. Therefore, simulating the mechanical response of solidified soil in multi-ion marine environments is of great significance for ensuring the safety and stability of marine engineering structures.

[0004] Currently, traditional triaxial apparatuses used to simulate the mechanical response of solidified soil in multi-ion marine environments have limitations in terms of test condition settings. They can typically only be used for testing at room temperature, failing to simulate the temperature variations in actual engineering environments. However, in real-world engineering scenarios, the temperature environment of solidified soil is complex and variable, rarely maintaining a constant room temperature, which can alter the properties of the solidified soil. For example, in road engineering, the solidified soil base layer beneath the pavement experiences significant temperature fluctuations due to solar radiation, seasonal changes, and diurnal temperature variations. In building foundation engineering, solidified soil at different depths underground is also subject to specific temperature environments due to geothermal gradients and the influence of surrounding heat sources (such as heating pipelines). Relying solely on triaxial apparatuses operating at room temperature to conduct shear characteristic tests on solidified soil cannot comprehensively and accurately reflect the true shear performance of solidified soil under complex actual temperature environments, resulting in inaccurate test results.

[0005] Furthermore, traditional triaxial apparatuses require repeated disassembly and reassembly of the pressure chamber during experiments, a cumbersome process involving components such as sealing devices, pressure transmission lines, pressure sensors, and the chamber shell. Moreover, the placement of the pressure chamber can be affected by minor vibrations or collisions, causing soil sample displacement. Since the accuracy of soil sample positioning directly impacts the accuracy of stress-strain measurements and the reliability of test results, any deviation necessitates disassembling the pressure chamber and readjusting and calibrating the soil sample, significantly impacting experimental efficiency. Meanwhile, compared to undisturbed soil, solidified soil is more stable and rigid, requiring no auxiliary devices to place stably on the pedestal and is less prone to collapse or tipping. Therefore, modifying the pressure chamber to a hinged design facilitates the filling and testing of solidified soil, significantly improving experimental efficiency.

[0006] The existing invention patent with application number 201710445970.6, entitled "Temperature-Controlled Triaxial Loading Device for Unsaturated Soil under Dry-Wet Cycles," only simulates ordinary environments under temperature changes, failing to simulate multi-ion marine erosion environments at different temperatures. Given this, to simulate actual multi-ion environments in the ocean and real-world engineering temperatures, improve experimental efficiency and accuracy, and provide reliable experimental data support for materials research and engineering design in the field of marine engineering, the development of a temperature-controlled triaxial loading device and pressure chamber for solidified soil samples in a multi-ion marine environment is particularly important.

[0007] In summary, there is currently a lack of equipment for triaxial loading of solidified soil samples in a temperature-controlled, multi-ion marine environment. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Furthermore, a pad is sandwiched between the bottom end of the loading rod and the top end of the solidified soil sample.

[0014] Furthermore, a sealing limiting plate is provided on the outer wall of the top plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a vent pipe is provided on the top plate of the pressure chamber, and an exhaust valve is configured on the vent pipe.

[0019] Secondly, the present invention also discloses a method for using the above-mentioned triaxial loading device for solidified soil samples in a temperature-controlled multi-ion marine environment, including: Step 1: Install the solidified soil sample in the sample setting space of the pressure chamber; Step 2: Start the pressurization pump to inject the multi-ion solution composed of chloride ions, sulfate ions, and magnesium ions stored in the storage tank into the pressure chamber to apply confining pressure until the confining pressure stabilizes, then close the valve. Step 3: Turn on the temperature controller and heat the pressure chamber through the heating rod. Monitor the temperature inside the pressure chamber in real time until the required test temperature is reached. Adjust the temperature in time through the temperature controller. After the temperature detector value is constant, wait 0.5 to 1 hour to ensure that the temperature inside the pressure chamber is uniform and stable. Step 4: Start the linear motor and apply a vertical load to the solidified soil sample through the loading mechanism to conduct a triaxial loading test on the solidified soil sample in a temperature-controlled multi-ion marine environment.
