Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of civil engineering technology, and in particular to a pile bearing capacity testing device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the increasing density of railway network construction and the continuous improvement of high-speed train operating speed, the displacement control requirements for the piers, abutments, and pile foundations under high-speed railway bridges are becoming increasingly stringent. With the continuous development of urban construction, it is also difficult to avoid the situation where new projects cross existing high-speed railway lines. The horizontal displacement of soil caused by foundation pit excavation will disturb the bearing state of the pile foundations of nearby high-speed railways and endanger the train operation safety of existing lines. Therefore, it is both necessary and essential to conduct research on the bearing state of the pile foundations of nearby existing high-speed railways under foundation pit excavation disturbance based on experiments.

[0003] Research methods for studying the bearing capacity of adjacent existing high-speed railway pile foundations under excavation disturbance include field testing, centrifuge model testing, and physical model testing. Among these, field testing involves harsh experimental conditions, high costs in terms of manpower and resources, and often results in uncertainties due to uncontrollable changing factors, leading to unconvincing research conclusions. Centrifuge model testing requires optimization of model preparation techniques, including the impact of non-uniform high centrifugal acceleration fields, particle size effects, boundary effects, Coriolis acceleration, and errors during centrifuge start-up and braking on model test results, and the corresponding solutions need further investigation. Physical model testing establishes similar original pile models to recreate the actual working state of the pile foundation, and the experimental variables are controllable, which can better reflect the actual engineering conditions. However, while there are many existing experimental model devices for the bearing capacity of adjacent existing high-speed railway pile foundations under excavation disturbance, they are inconvenient to use and cannot be applied when the pile model is tilted.

It can be understood that the number of pulleys 440 is determined according to the weight of the mobile platform 430 and the loading device 300, so as to ensure that the mobile platform 430 can move freely left and right above the support plate 410.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 2The box 100 has a first baffle 120 on one side. The outer periphery of the first baffle 120 is provided with multiple latches 124. The box 100 is provided with a connector that cooperates with the latches 124.

On the other side of the box 100, multiple motors 140 are provided for driving the displacement of the baffles 131. The multiple motors 140 are connected to the control equipment and drive the relative baffles 131 to move, thereby simulating the automatic excavation process. After the simulation test is completed, starting the motors 140 can drive the baffles 131 to automatically return to their original positions, thus realizing the automatic reset of the pile bearing state after the simulated excavation. The operation is simple and convenient for retesting.

[0036] Preferably, the first baffle 120 is located on one side of the housing 100, and the second baffle 130 and the motor 140 are located on the other side of the housing.

[0037] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 The top of the housing 100 is provided with a roller 150 arranged along the width direction. The roller 150 is located between the second baffle 130 and the motor 140.

The bottom end of the isolation layer 132 is connected to the bottom of the box 100, and the top end of the isolation layer 132 is wrapped around the roller 150 to realize the simulation of the automatic excavation process and the automatic reset after the simulated excavation.

[0038] Preferably, the isolation layer 132 is a rubber skin, and the bottom of the box 100 is provided with a fixing groove for fixing the rubber skin. The top of the rubber skin is wrapped around the roller 150 without affecting the free rotation of the roller 150. The fixing groove is set along the width direction of the box 100 and is the same width as the box 100, which can ensure that no material inside the box 100 will leak out when the baffle 131 is locked. After the excavation simulation is completed, the roller 150 can be rotated to return the sand in the model foundation 110 to its original position, making the operation convenient and avoiding multiple cleaning and tidying.

[0039] See Figure 1 The box 100 contains a model foundation 110, and the bottom end of the model pile 200 is inserted into the model foundation 110. See [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The chamber 100 is provided with an observation window 160, which includes transparent tempered glass to facilitate observation of experimental phenomena.

[0040] Preferably, the model foundation 110 is formed by multiple layers of sand and soil filling.

Then, the sand and soil are filled in layers to the predetermined height using the sand rain method to form the model foundation 110.

[0043] Step 2: Connect the strain gauge 211 to the earth pressure gauge 212 and the motor 140, and connect the control equipment and the power supply;

[0044] Step 3: Move the loading device 300 to a suitable position so that the loading rod 330 is directly opposite the center of the model pile 200. Place the connecting component 310 on top of the model pile 200 to ensure that the model pile 200 is subjected to surface load, thereby achieving frontal loading along the length of the model pile 200. Determine the loading amount according to the research requirements and add the corresponding weights to the weight hanger 341 to load the model pile 200.

[0045] Step 4: Control the motor 140 to work through the control equipment. The motor 140 drives each baffle 131, so that the second baffle 130 moves horizontally from top to bottom in sequence to realize the simulation of layered excavation of the foundation pit.

[0046] Step 5: Data collection and processing, and obtaining the bearing state data of model pile 200 through further calculations;

[0047] Step 6: Unlock the first baffle 120, lay the second baffle 130 flat, remove the model pile 200 and model foundation 110 from the box 100, and control the motor 140 through the control device to drive the second baffle 130 back to the initial position, realizing automatic reset after simulated excavation.

[0048] Step 7: After replacing the model pile 200, repeat steps 1 to 6 to obtain the data on the change in the bearing state of the adjacent piles under the disturbance of the foundation pit excavation.
