Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of visualization test devices, in particular to a visualization test device for simulating complex load transfer rules of piles. Background Art

[0002] Under the action of complex loads, the pile is transferred to the soil layer through the pile side and pile bottom, and the load is borne by both. Therefore, how to consider the interaction between the pile and soil interface has always been the focus of geotechnical engineers. The bearing capacity Q of a single pile under load is u The lateral friction Q su and pile tip resistance Q pu Composition, can be expressed as:

[0003] Q u =Q su +Q pu =∑U i L i q sui +A p p pu

[0004] Where: L i ,U i : The thickness of the i-th layer of soil around the pile and the corresponding pile perimeter;

[0005] q sui ,q pu : the lateral friction resistance of the i-th soil layer and the end resistance of the bearing layer;

[0006] A P : Cross-sectional area of ​​pile end.

[0007] Although the commonly used computational models have clear mechanical concepts and simple calculations and are widely used in geotechnical engineering design, their calculation parameters are often difficult to obtain accurately considering the complexity of geotechnical materials. Therefore, field tests and indoor model tests are still an indispensable research method for researchers.

[0008] In order to clearly understand the time course of load transfer of pile foundations under complex loads, a large number of scholars have buried earth pressure boxes and strain gauges in indoor model tests. However, due to the large size and few points of the earth pressure box, a stress field will be generated around it, and the earth pressure cannot be accurately obtained. The newly improved earth pressure membrane FSR (Force sensel resistance), although it reduces the volume of the test element, is still a contact test method and cannot observe the change law of earth pressure very intuitively.

[0009] However, photoelastic experiments often require laser transmitters and polarizers, and the test instruments are bulky, and the photoelastic particles are large. In order to simulate rock and soil materials more realistically, conveniently, clearly and intuitively observe the time-course changes of pile side friction and pile end friction of different pile foundations under complex continuous loads, and directly display images and data of pile side friction and end resistance, the present invention introduces a simple visualized indoor test device to further explore the intrinsic mechanism of pile-soil interaction.
