Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drainage performance testing devices, and in particular relates to a horizontal drainage performance testing device for testing the anti-clogging and drainage ability of geosynthetics under conditions of different inclination angles and different water head heights. Background technology:

[0002] Geosynthetics are made of artificially synthesized polymers and are made into various types of products, including non-woven fabrics, geogrids, geomembranes, composite drainage nets, geonet mats, etc. Geosynthetics have excellent filtering, drainage, isolation and other functions, and are light in weight, high in tensile strength, good in permeability, and corrosion-resistant. They are widely used in water conservancy, transportation, construction engineering and other construction projects.

[0003] At present, tunnel water leakage occurs frequently. The defects in the design of tunnel drainage system are an important influencing factor. The existing drainage system is relatively complete, but it is difficult to make the waterproof board watertight due to the construction quality. Once the waterproof board cracks, there is no drainage channel between the waterproof board and the secondary lining. The groundwater will seep and accumulate between the waterproof board and the secondary lining, and finally seep out from the weak lining, causing water leakage.

[0004] During the use of geosynthetics, the internal pores or surfaces will intercept and continuously accumulate surrounding rock particles, silt particles, etc. mixed in the groundwater under seepage movement, which reduces the permeability. Therefore, geosynthetics need to have good anti-clogging ability, and the water conductivity under clogging conditions has also become an important parameter for design and application. In the existing technology, there is only a clogging tester for geosynthetics in the vertical direction. The "Testing Regulations for Geosynthetics in Highway Engineering JTGE50-2006" and "Testing Regulations for Geosynthetics SL235-2012" also only provide clogging tests for geosynthetics in the vertical direction, and the clogging test has not yet clearly defined the index value for judging the degree of clogging.

[0005] The Chinese patent 201910081800.3 discloses a drainage geogrid drainage performance test device and test method, the test device consists of a test box, a vertical load loading system and a test system; the test box consists of a stainless steel frame, a panel, a side panel, a bottom plate and a top cover; the vertical load loading system consists of a rigid loading plate, a rubber air bag, an air guide tube, an air pressure pump and an automatic air pressure regulating valve; the test system consists of a micro pore water pressure sensor, a data acquisition instrument and a wire; it can only measure the changes in the pore water pressure of the soil around the drainage geogrid under various levels of consolidation pressure, obtain the corresponding design parameters, and provide a basis for the application design of the drainage geogrid; the Chinese patent 201920095288.3 discloses a new type of modular drainage performance test device, which includes a test component and a simulated rainfall component; the test component includes a test module, and the test module includes a soil layer, a first geotextile, a ceramsite layer, a first geotextile layer, a second ... Two geotextiles, storage and drainage boards; the test component also includes four module side panels and a module bottom plate that are arranged to form a test trough, and the test module is located in the trough of the test trough; at least one drainage trough parallel to the module bottom plate is arranged around the outer wall of the test trough, and each drainage trough is connected to the test trough, and a drainage pipe connected to the drainage trough is arranged on the bottom of each drainage trough, and each drainage pipe is connected to a container with a scale; the simulated rainfall component includes a water tank, a water pump, a nozzle, a water spray valve, a flow meter, etc.; it simply simulates the storage and drainage performance of the roof through the design of the test component and the simulated rainfall component; no drainage capacity test device or equipment is given for siltation drainage along the horizontal direction of geosynthetics. Therefore, a drainage capacity test device for geosynthetics along the horizontal direction under siltation is designed and developed, with the drainage per unit time, permeability coefficient and drainage benefit ratio as indicators, to provide a reference for judging the drainage capacity of geosynthetics under anti-siltation conditions. Summary of the invention:

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to design a horizontal drainage performance testing device to effectively obtain the horizontal drainage performance of geosynthetics under siltation conditions.

[0011] (III) Sand layer laying: A 50 mm thick coarse sand layer is laid in the drainage box to wrap the drainage pipe to prevent the soil from being damaged due to seepage deformation or loss, and to increase the water conduction effect;

[0012] (iv) Angle adjustment: The tilted geosynthetics will be laid at an angle of 0°-90°.
