Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater pile testing technology, and in particular to a testing device for vertical compressive static load testing of underwater piles. Background Technology
[0002] The static load test for vertical compressive strength of foundation piles is a crucial step in the acceptance of pile foundation quality. Generally, the surcharge method and the anchor pile method are used. The anchor pile method is mainly suitable for reinforced concrete cast-in-place piles, while the surcharge method is primarily used for pipe piles. This technology is relatively mature. However, due to the special environment of underwater foundation piles, the testing methods used on land are difficult to apply on water, especially for underwater photovoltaic piles. Underwater photovoltaic piles mainly use pipe piles arranged in rows, and the anchor pile method used on land is not applicable to them. The special environment makes surcharge testing difficult to achieve, especially during the static load test of underwater foundation piles, where the reaction steel beam is difficult to hoist and transportation is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive.
[0003] Chinese invention patent application number 202310168537.8 discloses a combined device and method for vertical static load testing of the anchor pile method on water. The combined device provided by the technical solution for vertical static load testing of the anchor pile method on water can combine the compressive and tensile testing devices into one. However, it can be seen from its specification and drawings that there is a risk of the crossbeam and the anchor pile detaching from the technical solution. In addition, the stability and safety of the buoyancy raft have not been solved.
[0004] Therefore, in order to improve the shortcomings of the prior art, it is necessary to propose an improvement to overcome the aforementioned defects. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and provide a testing device for static load testing of vertical compressive strength of underwater foundation piles.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A testing device for vertical compressive static load testing of water-based foundation piles includes a test pile, a crossbeam assembly, a buoyancy raft assembly, a jacking mechanism, two crossbeam constraint mechanisms, two anchor piles, and multiple buoyancy raft fixing devices. The two anchor piles are located on both sides of the test pile, and all three are set next to the buoyancy raft assembly, with their lower ends inserted into the water. The crossbeam constraint mechanism is set on the top of the anchor pile. The crossbeam assembly is erected above the test pile and the two anchor piles, with both ends passing through the crossbeam constraint mechanism. The jacking mechanism is set on the top of the test pile. The buoyancy raft assembly is assembled into a whole by multiple buoyancy raft fixing devices and floats on the water surface.
[0007] The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic jack and a jack anti-detachment mechanism. The hydraulic jack is placed on the jack anti-detachment mechanism, and its upper part acts on the lower side of the crossbeam assembly. The jack anti-detachment mechanism is set at the top of the test pile.
[0008] For the transportation and installation of the crossbeam assembly, the crossbeam assembly includes a first crossbeam and two second crossbeams. The first crossbeam is located between the two second crossbeams. The first crossbeam and the second crossbeam are detachably connected. A loading plate is set in the middle of the bottom of the first crossbeam.
[0009] To avoid the risk of the crossbeam detaching from the anchor pile, the crossbeam restraint mechanism includes a restraint sleeve, a clamp, and two tie rods. The restraint sleeve is connected to the clamp via the two tie rods, and the clamp is detachably mounted on the upper end of the anchor pile.
[0010] To maintain balance and facilitate use, the jack anti-disengagement mechanism includes a jack sleeve and a fixing column. The fixing column is inserted into the test pile, and the hydraulic jack is fitted inside the jack sleeve. The jack sleeve is provided with a concave groove through which the hydraulic jack's connecting oil pipe can pass. The upper part of the hydraulic jack acts on the loading plate, and the lower part of the hydraulic jack is placed inside the jack anti-disengagement mechanism.
[0011] To accommodate various pile spacings, the buoyancy raft assembly includes Buoyancy Raft I, Buoyancy Raft II, and a guardrail. Buoyancy Raft I and Buoyancy Raft II are assembled from multiple buoyancy boxes based on the distance between the test pile and the anchor pile. The multiple buoyancy boxes are integrated into a constrained frame, and the guardrail surrounds the top of Buoyancy Raft I and Buoyancy Raft II.
[0012] To accommodate various pile diameters and pile positions, the buoyancy raft fixing device includes a fixing mechanism, two fixing blocks, and two connecting rods. The two fixing blocks are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing mechanism and are connected to the fixing mechanism through two connecting rods respectively. The fixing blocks are detachably connected to the constraint frame.
[0013] To achieve quick and convenient connection of the buoyancy raft, the fixing mechanism includes two constraint components and two symmetrically arranged frame components. The constraint components include rotating plates, constraint clips, and pins. The frame components include a fixed frame, a transmission cylinder, and a limiting plate. The fixed frame has a U-shaped structure with an annular groove on its inner side. The limiting plate is inserted into the groove and has an opening larger than the outer radius of the test pile and anchor pile. The transmission cylinder is located on the outside of the fixed frame, and the connecting rod can be slidably inserted and removed into the transmission cylinder. The two rotating plates are symmetrically arranged at the opening end of one fixed frame, and the two constraint clips are symmetrically arranged at the opening end of the other fixed frame. The rotating plates and constraint clips are connected by pins.
[0014] To increase the structural strength of the crossbeam assembly, crossbeam one is a welded component, including an upper flange, a web, a lower flange, and four connecting plates. The upper flange, web, and lower flange are welded into a structure with an I-beam cross-section. The four connecting plates are respectively located at the end faces of the structure. One or two lifting rings are provided at the top of crossbeam one. Crossbeam two is a welded component, including an upper flange, a web, a lower flange, and four connecting plates.

[0036] Conduct vertical compressive static load tests:
[0037] First, preparation: The crossbeam assembly is formed by assembling crossbeam 1 (210) and crossbeam 2 (220) according to the distance between piles. Crossbeam 1 (210) is placed in the middle, and crossbeam 2 (220) is symmetrically arranged on both sides of crossbeam 1 (210). The crossbeam assembly is then formed. The connection points of the crossbeam assembly should not be located at the lifting position of the hydraulic jack 410. The number of crossbeam assemblies is selected according to the distance between the test pile 102 and the anchor pile 101. The fixing column 423 is inserted into the test pile 102, and the hydraulic jack 410 is placed on the jack sleeve 4. Inside 21, the hydraulic jack 410's oil pressure pipe is connected to the hydraulic jack 410 through the concave groove 422. The constraint sleeve 331 is hinged to the clamp 310 through the tie rod 320. Then, the constraint sleeve 331 is respectively fitted onto the end of the second crossbeam 220 away from the first crossbeam 210. The crossbeam assembly is lifted to the top of the test pile 102 using a gantry crane. When the loading plate 215 contacts the upper part of the hydraulic jack 410, the position of the crossbeam assembly is fixed. According to the position of the lower end of the tie rod 320, the clamp 310 is installed on the anchor pile 101.
[0038] The buoyancy raft 5 is assembled according to the distance and number between the test pile 102 and the anchor pile 101, such as... Figure 6As shown, the fixing mechanism 530 can move on the connecting rod 522 according to the position of the anchor pile 101 and the test pile 102, and the mechanism is not restricted by the position of the anchor pile 101 and the test pile 102, which greatly increases the flexibility of the mechanism. The opening of the limiting plate 533 can be replaced according to the outer diameter of the test pile 102 and the anchor pile 101. The fixing blocks 521 are symmetrically arranged, with one block every 3m on each buoyancy raft 5 and one block at each end. The position of the fixing blocks 521 should avoid the position of the test pile 102 and the anchor pile 101. The connecting rod 522 is fixed to the constraint frame 514 through the fixing blocks 521. The connecting rod 522 can be selected as one or more spliced together according to the length of the buoyancy raft 5.
[0039] With the help of external force, the first buoyancy raft 511 and the second buoyancy raft 512 are symmetrically moved to both sides of the test pile 102 and the two anchor piles 101. The two buoyancy rafts are constrained to the test pile 102 and the anchor piles 101 by the fixing mechanism 530. At this time, the opening on the limiting plate 533 is just stuck on the periphery of the test pile 102 and the anchor piles 101, and then the subsequent operation is carried out.
[0040] Second, the test: According to the vertical compressive static load rating of test pile 102, different levels of load pressure were applied to the hydraulic jack 410, and vertical downward pressure was applied to test pile 102 through the hydraulic jack 410; the vertical displacement value of test pile 102 under compressive stress was recorded by dial gauge; under each level of pressure load, the settlement of the pile top in each hour should not exceed 0.1mm, and the stability standard should be reached after two consecutive occurrences, before the next level of load can be applied, and finally the ultimate load required by the design is applied.
[0041] It should be noted that the above-mentioned clamp 310, buoyancy box 513 and bolts are all applications of existing technology. In addition, the above-mentioned bolts are all used in conjunction with nuts, and both the bolts and nuts are high-strength bolts and high-strength nuts. The test process mentioned above is a conventional test setup in this field and will not be described in detail.
[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the claims of this utility model should fall within the technical scope of this utility model.
