Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of soil sampling in the process of soil engineering property research and geotechnical engineering investigation, and particularly relates to a soil sampling device and a sampling method capable of maintaining the initial stress state of a sample. Background Art

[0002] In the study of soil engineering properties and geotechnical engineering investigations, it is necessary to take the required soil samples from a specific depth at a specific location. By analyzing the characteristics of the soil samples, including mechanical properties, analytical data such as the strength and deformation characteristics of the soil at the sampling depth can be obtained. This is the basis for studying the engineering properties of soil and also provides a corresponding basis for the design of engineering buildings.

[0003] The soil triaxial shear equipment is a commonly used instrument for testing the mechanical properties of soil. The size of the test sample is mostly a cylindrical soil column with a diameter of 39.1 mm and a height of 80 mm.

[0004] In the existing sampling technology, sampling is mostly carried out by trenching and welling, that is, a trench or well is dug at a designated location, bulk soil samples are dug from the bottom or side wall, and then the large volume of soil samples are cut in the laboratory to obtain soil samples of the required specifications and sizes.

[0005] In the above-mentioned existing sampling methods, during the process of digging block soil samples and indoor cutting, the soil samples have already lost their original initial stress state. Even if the soil samples are restored to the initial stress state during the test, the properties of the soil samples will change due to the process of decompression and pressurization, and there will be a large deviation from the data of the actual state, which makes it difficult to provide a reliable basis for the study of soil engineering properties, especially in geotechnical engineering survey work. The destruction of the initial stress state leads to deviations in the mechanical properties of the soil. In order to ensure the safety of the building, the design of the engineering building is too conservative, and the project cost increases accordingly. Summary of the invention

[0082] Embodiment 2:

[0083] The second embodiment discloses a sampling method of a soil sampling device capable of maintaining the initial stress state of a sample. The sampling method is implemented by using the soil sampling device described in the first embodiment. The specific sampling process steps are as follows:

[0084] Step 1: Dig a well or trench at the sampling site to the required depth for sampling and level the bottom;

[0085] Step 2: Open the pipeline switch 303 on the pipeline connecting the pressure storage tank 304 and the air bag 301, adjust the pressure-maintaining air pump 305, control the pressure in the pressure storage tank 304 to increase to a preset radial pressure, and at the same time, the pressure in the air bag 301 also reaches the preset radial pressure;

[0086] The preset radial pressure is the horizontal pressure of the soil at the soil sampling depth measured by the lateral pressure test;

[0087] Step 3: Adjust the length of the clamping bolt 203 screwed into the upper pressure rod support seat 201 to control the clamping bolt 203 acting on the upper pressure rod 202 and adjust the resistance of the upper pressure rod 202 to axial movement. At the same time, screw the force measuring rod 101 to make the top positioning groove of the upper pressure rod 202 contact with the bottom positioning groove of the upper force measuring rod 101 and transmit axial pressure until the force measuring gauge 103 measures that the reverse axial force applied by the upper pressure rod 202 to the force measuring rod 101 reaches the preset axial pressure, so as to keep the clamping bolt 203 relatively fixed;

[0088] The preset axial pressure is calculated by the soil density and sampling depth;

[0089] Step 4: If Figure 2 , Figure 3a and Figure 3b As shown, after the position of the clamping bolt 203 is adjusted, the axial force measuring assembly 1 including the force measuring rod 101, the force measuring rod support seat 102 and the force measuring meter 103 is removed from the device, and the soil sampling knife 401 is extended into the soil perpendicular to the sampling bottom surface;

[0090] Step 5: If Figure 4 As shown, as the bottom cutter head of the soil cutting knife 401 is pressed into the soil, the columnar soil sample enters the soil cutting channel inside the soil cutting knife 401 through the cutter head. As the soil sample enters, the upper soil pressing rod 202 moves upward along the axial direction under the top pressure of the soil sample, and brings the airbag support sleeve 302 out from the middle of the airbag 301. The soil sample smoothly enters the middle position of the airbag 301 and is surrounded and wrapped 360° by the airbag 301 which maintains a preset radial pressure outward. Since the force is mutual, the upper soil pressing rod 202 is always subjected to the preset axial pressure applied by the upper soil pressing rod 202 during the process of being pushed upward by the soil sample. By identifying the scale on the upper soil pressing rod 202, when the upper soil pressing rod 202 moves axially to a preset distance under the action of the soil sample, that is, when the length of the soil sample reaches the preset sampling length, the soil cutting knife 401 stops moving.

[0091] Step 6: If Figure 5 As shown, the soil outside the soil taking knife 401 is cleaned, and the soil cutting knife 402 is inserted into the soil cutting slot of the soil taking knife 401 to cut off the soil sample in the soil taking channel of the soil taking knife 401;

[0092] Step 7: If Figure 6 As shown, the soil cutting knife 401 is taken out from the soil, and the excess soil on the outside is cleaned and removed. After the lower pressure rod base 502 is fixed to the bottom of the soil cutting knife 401 by docking, screwing and fixing, the lower pressure rod 501 is further screwed until the lower pressure plate on the top of the lower pressure rod 501 presses on the soil cutting knife 402, and then the soil cutting knife 402 is taken out from the soil cutting slot of the soil cutting knife 401;

[0093] Step 8: If Figure 7 As shown, after the soil cutting knife 402 is taken out, the lower pressure plate on the top of the lower pressure rod 501 directly presses on the bottom of the cylindrical soil sample, and the lower pressure rod 501 is further screwed until the bottom of the lower pressure rod base 502 is firmly supported on the support seat at the bottom of the lower pressure rod 501. At this time, the soil sample is exactly located in the middle of the airbag 301, and the soil sample remains in the initial stress state.

[0094] After obtaining soil samples through the sampling device described in the above embodiment 1 and installing the sampling method described in the above embodiment 2, the sampling device containing the soil samples can be directly connected to the triaxial instrument to test the soil samples inside it, wherein the axial force applying end of the triaxial instrument is connected to the upper soil pressure rod, and the bottom support seat of the lower soil pressure rod is placed on the base of the triaxial instrument, so as to realize the shear test by directly applying the axial force of the test through the upper soil pressure rod, and the hydraulic source of the triaxial testing equipment can also be directly connected to the airbag to realize the direct application of radial pressure to the soil sample through the airbag. The sampling device is directly applied to the triaxial instrument, which facilitates the test while avoiding changes in the stress state of the soil sample caused by moving the soil sample, thereby affecting the reliability of the measurement data.
