Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of tunnel engineering, in particular to a test device and a test method for simulating the operating environment of a water diversion tunnel, which are suitable for studying the long-term stability and durability of surrounding rocks and lining structures of tunnel engineering under the action of a water environment. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the construction of a large number of water supply and distribution projects, the areas involved are becoming wider and wider, and the geological conditions faced are becoming more and more complex. When encountering areas with good geological conditions, the tunnel design will adopt a non-lining support form. When the surrounding rock stability is poor, targeted lining support is required. During the excavation of the tunnel, the rock mass unloads toward the air surface, the surrounding rock loosens and deforms, and many fine joints and cracks are generated inside it; in addition, the tunnel is flooded for a long time during the operation period, and the cracks provide a natural seepage channel for water seepage. In addition, the surrounding rock of the tunnel vault, arch bottom, and cave wall is eroded by water flow, and the hydrophilic minerals of the surrounding rock are continuously dissolved, and the bonding force between particles is weakened. Under the influence of different water flow velocities and flow rates, the erosion of the surrounding rock by water will be further aggravated. If the tunnel adopts reinforced concrete lining support, due to the uneven surface of the concrete spraying layer and the acidity and alkalinity of the groundwater, long-term water erosion will have different degrees of impact on the durability of the lining structure, leading to a series of tunnel stability problems.

[0003] At present, the main research methods for the effects of long-term water flow in tunnels on the stability of surrounding rocks and the durability of lining structures are numerical simulation and indoor tests. Numerical simulation has the advantages of fast solution speed, low cost, and comprehensive data monitoring, but the fluid-solid coupling is complex and difficult, and the calculation model needs to be simplified, which makes it difficult to restore the actual working conditions of the project, and the accuracy of the calculation results is not supported by relevant data. Indoor tests are aimed at studying the long-term stability of tunnel water flow, mainly focusing on rock creep and rock seepage creep. This method has several shortcomings: ① The creep servo system is expensive, the strain gauge requires high sensitivity, and the system is difficult to maintain in the later stage; ② In rock creep tests, long-term stable pressure is required. Affected by the working principle of the servo system, the fluctuation of the hydraulic system has a great influence on the accuracy of the test results; ③ In the process of rock seepage creep test, when the confining pressure is greater than the pore pressure, it is difficult for water to flow through the rock specimen, and it is difficult to simulate long-term seepage. Only low confining pressure and high pore pressure seepage creep tests can be achieved. In addition, indoor tests are mainly focused on the research of 50×100mm standard rock specimens, and there are few related studies on model tests; ④ It is difficult for rock block tests to consider stress boundary conditions and water flow conditions at the same time. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a simulation device and test method for simulating the operation environment of a tunnel, which can restore the internal operation environment of the tunnel and realize long-term water flow in the physical model of the tunnel. By collecting the longitudinal wave velocity of the physical model under the influence of different water flow durations, different water flow rates, and different acidity and alkalinity of groundwater, and microscopically analyzing the physical model specimens before and after water flow, the stability of the tunnel surrounding rock under long-term water flow conditions is analyzed from the perspective of wave velocity degradation, component loss, and the evolution law of microstructure.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0006] A long-term water-flow test device for a simulated environment tunnel includes a physical model test chamber, a water-flow device, a bidirectional pressurizing device, a circulation device, and a data acquisition system. The water-flow device includes a water supply tank, a water storage tank, a transparent glass tube, a rubber sealing plug, and a flow control valve; the circulation device includes a circulation pump and a water pressure automatic control system; the data acquisition system includes a stress gauge, a strain gauge, a non-metallic ultrasonic detector, a pressure gauge, and a flow meter acquisition instrument.

[0007] Furthermore, according to the tunnel engineering excavation and lining design data, the tunnel physical model is prefabricated into a model specimen with bare rock without support or with lining, and the model is made according to the cross-sectional shape of the engineering tunnel. The lining in the model can be cast and formed with concrete of different grades according to the engineering setting. After the physical model is made, the lining is prefabricated according to the size of the model tunnel, and the stress and strain monitoring device is buried during the prefabrication process.

[0008] Furthermore, based on the engineering geological and hydrological data, the composition and acidity and alkalinity of the engineering groundwater are understood and tested, and a test water source matching the engineering groundwater is prepared.

[0009] Furthermore, the height of the water supply tank was set, and the surrounding rock physical model specimen was sealed and connected to the water tank through a transparent glass tube and a rubber plug. A flow meter and a pressure gauge were installed at both ends of the specimen. The water flow velocity in the transparent glass tube was calculated by the flow rate, and the water pressure at the inlet and outlet was directly read.

[0010] Furthermore, the water pressure automatic control system is equipped with a controller and an alarm device. When the pressure monitored by the pressure gauge exceeds the normal pressure range of the equipment, the alarm device sends an alarm signal, and the water pressure automatic control system and the circulation pump will automatically cut off power to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, a filter is installed at the connection between the water storage tank and the transparent glass tube to filter and collect the debris particles generated during the test. The water storage tank and the transparent glass tube are connected by threads for easy disassembly and cleaning.

[0012] Furthermore, the steel plate of the bidirectional pressurizing device is placed in close contact with the physical model test cavity, and the physical model specimen is pressurized to a set pressure through a hydraulic jack, and the pressure is continuously stabilized to simulate the ground stress field of the tunnel surrounding rock.

[0013] Furthermore, the water supply tank is filled with water, and the water pressure automatic control system realizes different water flow rates through the physical model test cavity through different pressures, simulating the working environment of the hydraulic tunnel during operation; the monitoring system monitors the stress, strain, longitudinal wave velocity, and water flow rate of the physical model test cavity with long-term water flow, and analyzes and studies the stability and durability of the physical model test cavity.

[0014] The present invention also provides a tunnel long-term water flow test device and test method, which are characterized by comprising the following test steps:

[0015] Step 1: Preparation of tunnel physical model, including:

[0016] According to the tunnel engineering excavation and lining design data, the physical model of the tunnel is prefabricated into a model specimen with no support bare rock or lining. According to the set scale ratio, the external dimensions of the model specimen, the size of the internal tunnel and lining, and the size of the transparent glass tube are determined.

[0017] Step 2: Install the model specimen, including:

[0018] The bottom of the bidirectional pressurizing device and the single side wall steel plate are fixed by fixing nuts, and the physical model test cavity is fixedly placed in the test bench of the bidirectional pressurizing device. When the test starts, a hydraulic jack is used to transfer force to the steel plate through the pressurizing piston and piston rod, and the horizontal and vertical loads required for the test are applied to the physical model test cavity to simulate the geostress field of the hydraulic tunnel.

[0019] Step 3: Install the water tank, including:

[0020] The water supply tank and water storage tank are set up at a fixed height and position, and are sealed in series through transparent glass tubes with rubber plugs to prevent water leakage under the operating water pressure of the equipment. A flow control valve is installed on the transparent glass tubes at the lower end of the water storage tank and the water supply tank to facilitate the control of the test process.

[0021] Step 4: Install the circulation equipment, including:

[0022] The water pressure automatic control system is connected in series between the water supply tank and the physical model test chamber through a transparent glass tube. The test water flow rate is controlled by adjusting the working pressure of the water pressure automatic control system. The circulation pump is connected in series between the water storage tank and the water supply tank through a transparent glass tube to achieve water reuse.

[0023] Step 5: Install the data acquisition system, including:

[0024] During the prefabrication process, a fixed surrounding rock stress and strain monitoring device is installed on the free surface inside the model. Two flow meters and a pressure gauge are installed at each end of the physical model test chamber, and the third pressure gauge is installed at the tail of the circulating pump. The flow meter is used to read the flow inside the physical model test chamber during the test, and the pressure gauge is used to monitor the equipment operating pressure during the test to ensure that the equipment operates under normal pressure.

[0025] Step 6: Apply pressure with a bidirectional pressure device, including:

[0026] The physical model test cavity is placed close to the steel plates on the side walls and top of the bidirectional pressurizing device. The steel plates are squeezed by hydraulic jacks to apply horizontal and vertical loads to the model. When the preset pressure is reached, the pressurizing is stopped. The steel plates are fixed and the pressure is stabilized by the pressurizing piston and piston rod to simulate the in-situ stress field of the engineering tunnel.

[0027] Step 7: Prepare the water source for the test, including:

[0028] According to the engineering geological and hydrological data, the composition and acidity and alkalinity of the engineering groundwater are tested, and a test water source matching the composition and acidity and alkalinity of the engineering groundwater is prepared.

[0029] Step 8: Test water cycle, including:

[0030] Fill the water supply tank with water, open the flow control valve, and let the water flow through the water pressure automatic control system (2). The pressure pump is controlled by the pressure automatic control instrument panel to adjust the different water flow rates required for the test to pass through the tunnel physical model specimen inside the physical model test chamber. Turn on the circulation pump to circulate water to the water supply tank, so as to achieve the effect of long-term water flow in the physical model test chamber to simulate its operating environment.

[0031] Step 9: Experimental data processing and analysis, including:

[0032] The stress, strain, water flow rate, model longitudinal wave velocity and other data of the model specimen recorded by the data acquisition system during the long-term water circulation process are processed by computer. At the same time, the entire test is basically visualized, and the water penetration and model surrounding rock cracking during the test process can be observed to obtain the long-term durability and stability evolution law of the model specimen for analysis and research.

[0033] Compared with the current research methods and solutions on the effects of long-term water flow in tunnels on the stability of surrounding rocks and the durability of lining structures, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0034] (1) The test model can be prefabricated into a model specimen of bare rock without support or with lining according to the tunnel engineering excavation and lining design data, and the model can be made according to the cross-sectional shape of the engineering tunnel, and the lining structure can use raw materials with concrete grades matching the engineering;

Adjust the different water flow rates required for the test to pass through the tunnel physical model specimen inside the physical model test chamber (1). Start the circulation pump (5) to circulate water to the water supply tank (4), so as to achieve the effect of long-term water flow through the physical model test chamber (1) to simulate its operating environment; Step 9: Experimental data processing and analysis, including: The stress, strain, water flow rate and model longitudinal wave velocity data of the model specimen recorded by the data acquisition system during the long-term water circulation process are post-processed by computer.
