[0001] The invention relates to an indoor test device for pile-soil friction, in particular to an indoor test device for pile-soil friction under horizontal circulation / monotonous action, and also to an installation method of the indoor test device for pile-soil friction under horizontal circulation / monotonous action. Background Art

[0002] Due to the influence of the pile foundation supporting structure and the environment in which it is located (such as the marine environment), it will be affected by horizontal loads and often bear the effects of horizontal cyclic loads, such as wave loads in the ocean and rivers. At present, there are many studies in this area, and most of the studies focus on the weakening characteristics of the soil around the pile under the action of horizontal cyclic loads. However, in fact, the pile-soil contact friction characteristics will also change with the action of horizontal cyclic loads. On the other hand, in order to study the limit state of pile-soil shear contact under horizontal loads, it is necessary to carry out research on the pile-soil contact characteristics under the action of extreme monotonic horizontal loads. However, there is currently a lack of relevant indoor test equipment, and there is a lack of indoor test equipment for intuitively studying the pile-soil shear friction characteristics. The present invention discloses an indoor test equipment and a method for using pile foundation shear friction under horizontal cyclic and monotonic loads. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the background technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an indoor test device for pile-soil friction under horizontal cyclic / monotonous action. The test device can carry out indoor tests on pile-soil contact friction under horizontal cyclic and monotonic action of different soil properties and different pile foundation forms, and can intuitively display the evolution characteristics of pile-soil contact, and reveal the dynamic shear friction law of pile-soil contact under horizontal load.

[0005] In the present invention, the horizontal loading servo motor in the horizontal loading system controls the loading mode through a computer, selects the horizontal cyclic force loading or monotonic continuous force loading function, and selects the displacement or force control loading magnitude. The horizontal loading servo motor is used to simulate the pile body bearing horizontal cyclic load or monotonic continuous limit load, intuitively showing the dynamic shear friction law of the pile body in contact with the soil under the action of horizontal cyclic or monotonic drop load, and intuitively observing the physical response of the pile body and the deformation characteristics of the soil body.

[0010] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the present invention provides an indoor test apparatus for pile-soil friction under horizontal cyclic / monotonous action, comprising a reaction force system 1 and a model box 2. The model box 2 is filled with soil 3 and multiple soil physical and mechanical parameter acquisition elements 4, which can be soil pressure sensors, piezometers, or fiber-optic micro-soil pressure cells. The reaction force system 1 is equipped with a liftable loading system, which is located above and in correspondence with the simulation box. The end of the model box 1 facing the loading system is open. One end of a simulated pile 5 is mounted on the loading system. The simulated pile 5 is inserted into the soil and placed within the simulation box. A horizontal displacement meter 6, which can be a dial indicator or an electronic displacement acquisition device, is installed on the top of the simulated pile 5. The simulated pile 5 is also equipped with multiple pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition elements 7, which utilize FBG optical fiber gratings. The horizontal displacement meters 6 record horizontal displacement manually or automatically by computer. The soil physical and mechanical parameter acquisition elements 4 and the pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition elements 7 are connected to external computer data acquisition equipment for data collection. The loading system has the functions of cyclic force loading and continuous force loading. Cyclic force loading means that different loading forces appear within a cycle time, and the loading cycle is repeated.

[0011] The reaction system 1 includes a reaction frame 8, a threaded rigid column 9 and a rigid base 10. The rigid base 10 is fixed to the bottom of the threaded rigid column 9. The reaction frame 8 is connected to the threaded rigid column 9 and is raised and lowered by a main electric lift 11. A jack reaction frame 12 is fixed to the end of the reaction frame 8 facing the simulation box 2. The model box 2 is fixedly mounted on the rigid base 10 by a rigid block 26. When installing the simulation box, the reaction frame 8 is adjusted to the highest position by the main electric lift 11, and then the simulation box 2 is placed and fixed to the rigid base 10 by the rigid block 26.

[0012] The simulation box 2 is semi-cylindrical and consists of a rigid steel plate 13 and a transparent plate 14. The rigid steel plate 13 and transparent plate 14 are connected by glue with a waterproof rubber pad 15. The transparent plate 14 is a high-strength resin transparent plate. The contact surface of the simulated pile 5 with the transparent plate 14 is adhered with rubber. Lubricating oil is applied between the simulated pile 5 and the transparent plate 14 to minimize friction between the simulated pile 5 and the transparent plate 14. The rigid steel plate 13 is distributed with a number of drainage holes 16. Several microgrooves 17 are arranged on the outside of the rigid plate 13, and the microgrooves 17 are connected to the drainage holes 16. The number and arrangement of the drainage holes 16 are set according to the drainage requirements of the test. When the test requires undrained conditions, the drainage holes 16 are sealed. When the test requires drainage and consolidation of the soil, vacuum preloading and other methods can be used for consolidation and reinforcement. Water in the soil is drained through the drainage holes 16 and microgrooves 17 for drainage and consolidation. Relevant indoor tests are conducted under both drainage and undrained conditions.

[0013] The loading system includes a vertical loading system and a horizontal loading system 18. The vertical loading system includes a semi-annular jack 19, which is a semi-annular special hydraulic jack. The semi-annular jack 19 is fixed to the jack reaction frame 12 of the reaction system. The semi-annular jack 19 is placed in the center above the simulation box 9. The lower end of the semi-annular jack 19 is loaded on the upper surface of the soil. The semi-annular jack 19 is used to provide a stable overburden pressure to ensure that the initial stress state of the soil is close to that of the site. The semi-annular jack is controlled manually or by computer intelligence according to the test requirements. If it is a geotechnical centrifuge test, a servo-controlled jack is used, and mechanical control is used as much as possible.

[0014] The horizontal loading system 18 includes a horizontal loading bracket 20, two horizontal loading servo motors 21, and a horizontal loading force transmission rigid rod 22. The horizontal loading bracket 20 is connected to the threaded rigid column 9 of the reaction system 1 and is controlled by a secondary electric lift 23 to adjust the height of the horizontal loading system 18, thereby maintaining a vertical and appropriate loading position relative to the simulated pile 5. The two horizontal loading servo motors 21 are respectively arranged at both ends of the horizontal loading bracket 20. The two ends of the horizontal loading force transmission rigid rod 22 are respectively connected to the horizontal loading servo motors 21 at both ends. The horizontal loading force transmission rigid rod 22 is provided with a pile cap 24. The horizontal loading bracket 20 has a slot 25 at a position corresponding to the pile cap 24. One end of the simulated pile 5 passes through the slot 25 and is connected to the pile cap 24. The simulated pile 5 is subjected to cyclic displacement loading or continuous force loading within the arc-shaped slot 25. The horizontal loading system 18 is arranged near the transparent plate 14, through which the contact state of the simulated pile 5 with the surrounding soil can be observed.

[0015] A method for installing an indoor test device for pile-soil friction under horizontal cyclic / monotonous action, comprising the following steps:

[0016] (1) According to the test requirements, determine the dimensions of the simulated pile 5, the simulation box 2, and the reaction force system 1, and determine the arrangement and number of the drainage holes 16, the number and arrangement positions of the soil physical and mechanical state acquisition elements 4 and the pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition elements 7, and lay the pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition elements 7 on the pile body of the simulated pile according to the number and position requirements;

[0017] (2) Build the reaction system. The reaction frame 8 and the jack reaction frame 12 are fixed together by rivets. The reaction frame 8 is connected to the threaded rigid column 9 and is controlled to rise and fall by the main electric lift 11. The reaction frame and the jack reaction frame are adjusted to the highest position by the main electric lift 22. The model box 2 is placed and fixed to the rigid base 10 by the rigid block 26. The ring jack is fixed to the jack reaction frame.

[0018] (3) Install the horizontal loading bracket 20, connect the horizontal loading bracket 20 to the threaded rigid column and install the secondary electric lift 23. Use the secondary electric lift to control the lifting of the horizontal loading bracket 20. First, adjust the horizontal loading bracket 20 to the highest position;

[0019] (4) laying a model pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition element 7 on the pile body of the model pile 5, laying soil in the model box 2 and arranging a soil body physical and mechanical state acquisition element 4 in the soil body, arranging the simulation pile 5 with the pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition element in the soil body, and pre-treating the soil body to be tested according to the different tests and soil properties, such as drainage consolidation, etc., and a vacuum preloading consolidation system can be used for soil drainage consolidation;

[0020] (5) Install the horizontal loading system, install the horizontal loading servo motors 21 on both sides of the horizontal loading bracket, install the pile cap, and connect the two ends of the horizontal loading force transmission rigid rod 22 to the horizontal loading servo motors 21 on both sides and install them in place;

[0021] (6) The main electric lift controls the lifting and lowering of the annular jack 19, adjusting the annular jack 19 until its lower end rests on the soil surface. The secondary electric lift controls the pile cap, adjusting it to the top of the simulated pile and securing it to the simulated pile. After completing the above work, the various systems are adjusted to their appropriate positions and the experiment is carried out.

[0022] The soil in the simulation box 2 can be selected from soils of different soil properties, such as sand and clay, according to the actual soil, to construct the stress state of the soil. The model pile 5 selects different pile foundation forms according to the actual pile size and pile type. The simulation pile 5 determines the number and position of the pile body physical and mechanical state acquisition element 7 according to the test requirements. The horizontal loading servo motor 21 in the horizontal loading system 18 controls the loading mode through a computer, selects the horizontal cyclic force loading or monotonic continuous force loading function, and selects the displacement or force control loading magnitude. When the horizontal loading servo motor 21 uses the horizontal cyclic force loading function to work, it drives the pile cap to perform horizontal cyclic displacement. The simulated pile performs horizontal cyclic displacement within the arc slot under the action of the pile cap, and the simulated pile body is subjected to horizontal cyclic force load. When the horizontal loading servo motor 21 uses the continuous load function, the simulated pile is subjected to monotonic continuous force load.

[0023] Through the transparent plate 14, the dynamic shear friction law of the simulated pile 5 under the action of horizontal cyclic or single drop load is intuitively displayed, and the physical response of the pile body and the deformation characteristics of the soil are intuitively observed. Indoor tests of pile-soil shear contact friction under horizontal cyclic or monotonic action of different soil properties and different pile foundation forms are carried out. In order to be able to collect intuitive pile-soil contact characteristics in real time, a high-speed high-definition digital camera can be used to record the pile-soil contact friction process during the test. The soil physical and mechanical parameter acquisition element 4 and the pile body physical and mechanical parameter acquisition element 7 are connected to external computer acquisition instruments to perform data acquisition work, providing reasonable experimental comparison data for theoretical and numerical analysis verification.
