Therefore, experimental research on the bearing capacity and deformation energy dissipation of the wall is crucial. To study the bearing capacity and energy dissipation performance of the wall, it is necessary to conduct horizontal loading tests on the wall. At present, the horizontal loading tests of reinforced concrete walls in the laboratory are relatively rough. Usually, the reaction beams and ground beams are directly cast on the reinforced concrete walls, and the reaction beams are horizontally loaded. There are no special reusable reaction beams and ground beams, which makes the production time of reinforced concrete walls long, the production cost is high, and the production difficulty is great; secondly, the existing horizontal loading tests of reinforced concrete walls, steel plate shear walls and masonry walls mostly do not consider the constraint effect of the edge components such as beams and columns around the wall in actual use on the wall. This constraint effect is very important for the study of the deformation energy dissipation performance of the wall. Therefore, this constraint should be considered when conducting wall test research; finally, since the horizontal loading test of the wall is an in-plane test, a device is required to limit the displacement of the wall out of the plane, but the existing device is relatively bulky and not very convenient and flexible to disassemble and assemble.

[0024] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the device is divided into two parts, the first part is a restraining frame, and the second part is a lateral supporting frame. The restraining frame passes through the middle of the two lateral supporting frames. There are at least two lateral supporting frames and the two lateral supporting frames need to be arranged in parallel.

[0026] A sliding clamping device is arranged on the lateral support frame, and the sliding clamping device clamps the constraint frame, so that the constraint frame performs horizontal displacement in the plane of the wall surface, and limits the displacement of the constraint frame out of the plane of the wall.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the restraint frame includes an upper loading beam 2, a lower ground beam 3 and two edge columns 4 arranged in parallel between the loading beam 2 and the ground beam 3, the two edge columns 4 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the loading beam 2, the loading beam 2, the ground beam 3 and the edge columns 4 are respectively bolted with hinged plates 8, the positions of the hinged plates 8 on the loading beam 2 and the ground beam 3 are adjustable, and the hinged connection between the loading beam 2, the ground beam 3 and the two edge columns 4 is realized by pins 9 between the hinged plates 8.

[0028] Preferably, the present invention can adjust the distance between the two edge columns 4 by adjusting the position of the hinged plate 8 on the loading beam 2 and the ground beam 3. By adjusting the distance between the two edge columns 4, the constraint frame can adapt to different wall widths. Precast concrete pads can also be inserted between the wall and the two edge columns 4 to achieve a width fine-tuning function, thereby adapting to dimensional errors caused by wall manufacturing and test use.

[0029] Preferably, the height of the edge column 4 is determined according to the height of the general wall test component, and its height generally does not change. When the height of the edge column 4 is too high, the height of the edge column 4 can be adapted by inserting a precast concrete block with pre-embedded bolts between the wall and the ground beam 3;

[0030] Preferably, the edge columns 4 can also be determined to have several commonly used heights according to the current general wall test dimensions, that is, it is necessary to design multiple pairs of edge columns 4 of commonly used height dimensions to adapt to walls of different heights and facilitate replacement during testing.

[0031] Preferably, a connecting plate 1 is welded to one end of the loading beam 2 to facilitate connection with a loading machine such as a hydraulic press in a laboratory.

[0032] Preferably, the inner sides of the ground beams 3 and edge columns 4 in the restraining frame in contact with the wall are provided with a plurality of bolt holes, and the bolt holes are used to realize the bolt connection with the embedded bolt rods in the precast concrete pads.

[0033] Preferably, holes as thick as a wrist are provided on the outer sides of the ground beam 3 and the edge column 4 of the restraining frame which are not in contact with the wall, so that a person can conveniently reach in to disassemble and assemble the bolts.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the lateral support frame includes two I-shaped steel columns 5 perpendicular to the ground and a T-shaped short beam 6. The two I-shaped steel columns 5 are vertically fixed on the ground and parallel to each other. The T-shaped short beam 6 is fixed to the top of the two I-shaped steel columns 5 by bolts. The two I-shaped steel columns 5 are respectively fixed with a pulley block 7 by bolts. The two pulley blocks 7 are arranged opposite to each other, and the height of the two pulley blocks 7 is the same as the height of the loading beam 2. The two pulley blocks 7 clamp the loading beam 2 to control the movement direction of the wall surface;

[0035] Preferably, a plurality of bolt holes are provided on the I-shaped steel column 5 of the lateral support frame along the height direction, so as to facilitate adjusting the position of the pulley block 7 according to the height of the loading beam 2, and also facilitate adding the pulley block 7 to clamp the wall.

[0036] The specific structure of the pulley block 7 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it includes a rubber wheel 10, a connecting rod 11, an axial rod 12, and three-sided panels 13, wherein the rubber wheel 10 is sleeved on the axial rod 12 and the rubber wheel 10 can rotate around the axial rod 12, the axial rod 12 is set on the rubber wheel base, the rubber wheel base is connected to the three-sided panels 13 through the connecting rod 11, the three-sided panels 13 are fixed to the I-shaped column by bolts, and the rolling direction of the rubber wheel 10 is the same as the movement direction of the constraint frame.

[0037] Preferably, connecting threads are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 11, and the two ends of the connecting rod 11 are respectively bolted to the rubber wheel base and the three-sided enclosure 13. The distance between the two opposing pulley sets 7 is adjusted by adjusting the threaded connection distance at both ends of the connecting rod 11 to ensure that the restraint frame is tightened.

[0038] Among them, the pulley block 7 has multiple installation positions on the I-shaped steel column 5, and multiple pulley blocks 7 facing each other can be installed on the I-shaped steel column 5 along the height. While the two pulley blocks 7 at the top clamp the loading beam 2, the two pulley blocks 7 in the middle can also clamp the wall, so as to better constrain the constraint frame and the wall within the plane.

[0039] Preferably, the components of the restraining frame, the lateral support frame and the pulley block in the present invention are all made of steel.

[0040] The method for using the wall horizontal loading test device provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0041] When conducting a horizontal loading test on reinforced concrete walls and masonry walls, when in use, first fix the ground beam 3 on the ground, then select the installation position of the edge column 5 on the ground beam 3 and the loading beam 2 according to the width of the wall, and judge whether it is necessary to add precast concrete blocks between the wall and the ground beam 3 and between the wall and the edge column 4 according to the installation measurement. If it is necessary to add, first bolt the precast concrete pad to the ground beam 3, then place the wall on the top of the precast concrete pad at the bottom, and then install the edge column 4 with the precast concrete pad installed on the inner side on both sides of the ground beam 3 to clamp the wall;

[0042] At the same time, the lateral support frame formed by the I-shaped steel column 5 and the T-shaped short beam 6 is set on the corresponding position of the constraint frame (at least 2 are set) and the bottom of the I-shaped steel column 5 is fixed with bolts, and then a set of pulley blocks 7 with adjusted relative spacing are installed in the middle of the lateral support frame to clamp the wall, and finally the loading beam 2 is installed to clamp the wall, and at the same time, another set of pulley blocks 7 is installed on the lateral support frame at the height of the loading beam 2 to clamp the loading beam 2, and the installation of the experimental device is completed;

[0043] A loading machine such as a hydraulic press is connected to the connecting plate 1 at the end of the loading beam 2 by bolts to perform a horizontal force loading test. During the test, the wall and the restraining frame will undergo horizontal displacement in the plane, driving the rubber wheel 10 to roll.

[0044] At present, the horizontal loading test of reinforced concrete wall is generally performed by casting reinforced concrete beams on the top of the wall to act as loading components, and casting reinforced concrete ground beams at the bottom of the wall as components for fixing the wall. In the present invention, reusable loading beams 2 and ground beams 3 are set to act as loading components and fixing components. Since the four-point hinged constraint frame itself is a geometrically variable system, although it cannot bear the load, it has a hoop constraint effect on the wall. When a loading machine is used to horizontally load the loading beam 2 in the constraint frame through the connecting plate 1, the constraint frame can transfer the horizontal load to the wall through the hoop effect, while ensuring that the horizontal load borne by the constraint frame itself is negligible compared with the horizontal load borne by the wall, thereby realizing the loading function of the loading beam 2 on the wall and the fixing function of the ground beam 3 on the wall, solving the complicated work of casting loading beams and ground beams in the current horizontal loading test of the wall, simplifying the difficulty of component manufacturing, and saving component manufacturing cost and manufacturing time; more importantly, the hoop constraint effect of the constraint frame can also simulate the constraint effect of the beams and columns around the wall on the wall itself in actual engineering, so that the test data obtained is more in line with engineering reality, making the shear test research on the wall, especially the seismic test research under repeated horizontal earthquakes, more precise and accurate.

[0045] Preferably, the device of the present invention can carry out static loading tests on steel plate shear walls and single-layer frames after partial modification. When in use, it is only necessary to remove the two edge columns 4. For the static loading test on the steel plate shear wall, it is only necessary to bolt the upper part of the steel plate shear wall to the loading beam 2 and the lower part of the steel plate shear wall to the ground beam 3. At the same time, the edge columns 4 on both sides are removed, and the pulley group on the lateral support frame clamps the loading beam 2, so that the loading beam can be horizontally loaded and vertically loaded. This device can also carry out static loading tests on single-layer frames. When in use, it is only necessary to remove the edge columns 4 on both sides, and at the same time install steel pads at the position of the bottom of the loading beam 2 corresponding to the column of the single-layer frame, and clamp the pulley group 7 on the lateral support frame to the beam and column top of the single-layer frame, so that the loading beam can be horizontally loaded and vertically loaded.
