Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of building materials, specifically referring to a device and method for preparing indoor test specimens for cement-soil. Background Technology
[0002] Soft soil refers to a general term for a type of soil characterized by high natural water content, large natural void ratio, high compressibility, and very low shear strength and natural bearing capacity. In natural soil masses, it mainly exhibits a soft plastic to fluid plastic state, characterized primarily by low shear strength, high sensitivity, and poor permeability. The unique engineering properties of soft soil bring many problems to foundation engineering construction. Cement-soil is commonly used in engineering to reinforce weak soil layers, and the strength of cement-soil obtained from laboratory test samples is an important reference indicator; therefore, the preparation of cement-soil test samples is particularly crucial.
[0003] National standards stipulate that a cylindrical specimen with a diameter of Ф50mm × 100mm is the standard size for unconfined compressive strength test specimens of cement-soil. Currently, the mixers commonly used for specimen preparation are mostly cement mortar mixers, which have large mortar pots and mixing blades, making it difficult to uniformly shape the cement-soil. Furthermore, there is no fixed compaction device, and compaction is mostly done manually. As a result, the density of the specimens produced varies greatly, which is not conducive to the test and leads to a low pass rate for the final cement-soil specimens. Summary of the Invention
