Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a test apparatus and method for testing the permeability of concrete-rock interfaces, belonging to the field of geotechnical engineering technology. Background Technology
[0002] With urbanization, underground space development has become a trend in urban development, leading to a large number of underground buildings. For underground structures located on rock foundations, water seeping from rock fissures will affect the subbase or foundation slab. The permeability of the concrete-rock interface determines the amount of seepage, further affecting the anti-buoyancy measures adopted, and directly and significantly impacting the cost and safety of the underground structure. Existing permeability tests are either specific to rock or specific to concrete, while in actual engineering, the object to be tested is the concrete-rock interface. The permeability of a single rock or a single concrete cannot represent the permeability of the concrete-rock interface.
[0003] In summary, in order to obtain the permeability of the concrete-rock interface and meet the increasing anti-buoyancy requirements of underground structures on rock foundations, there is an urgent need for a permeability testing method and apparatus for the concrete-rock interface. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a test apparatus and method for testing the permeability of the concrete-rock interface, which can produce permeability samples with a concrete-rock interface and calculate the permeability of the concrete-rock interface by collecting seepage flow rates under different water pressures.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: The present invention provides a test device for testing the permeability of concrete-rock interface, including a permeability sample, a water pressure application device and a measurement system;
[0006] The permeation sample includes a rock block and a concrete block poured on the surface of the rock block. A cavity is provided at the interface between the rock block and the concrete block, and a water guide pipe is provided in the cavity.
[0007] The water pipe is connected to the water pressure application device via a water pipe;

The water meter and water pressure gauge are respectively installed on the water pipe, and the data acquisition device is connected to the water meter and water pressure gauge to automatically collect water volume and water pressure data.
[0009] Furthermore, the water pressure application device includes a sealed tank and an air pump. The internal space of the sealed tank is divided into a water chamber and an air chamber by an air bladder. The water chamber has a water outlet at the bottom, which is connected to a water guide pipe through a water pipe. The air chamber has an air inlet at the top, which is connected to the air pump through an air pipe.
[0010] Furthermore, the water pipe is equipped with a water valve, and the air pipe is equipped with an air valve.
[0011] Furthermore, an air tee is provided between the air inlet and the air pipe, and a pressure gauge is connected to the air tee.
[0012] Furthermore, the cavity at the interface between the rock block and the concrete block is formed by a hemispherical steel filter screen, which is fixed to the upper surface of the rock block by a fixing ring at the bottom; the hemispherical steel filter screen is provided with a waterproof layer to prevent cement slurry from seeping in during concrete pouring.
[0013] Furthermore, the water guide pipe is connected to the water pipe via a water pipe tee, and the water pressure gauge is installed on the water pipe tee.
[0014] Furthermore, the rock block is a flat rock block selected from the engineering site, transported to the laboratory for cutting, and its four sides are cut flat while the upper surface remains in its natural state.
[0015] The present invention also provides a test method for testing the permeability of the concrete-rock interface based on the above-mentioned test apparatus, comprising:
[0016] Water pressure is applied to the cavity at the interface between the rock block and the concrete block using a water pressure application device, so that water flows into the cavity and seeps into the concrete-rock interface.
[0017] The water meter and pressure gauge connected to the data acquisition instrument can measure the seepage volume under different water pressures, thereby calculating and analyzing the permeability of the concrete-rock interface.
[0018] Furthermore, the method of applying water pressure to the cavity at the interface between the rock block and the concrete block using a water pressure application device is as follows: connect a water pipe tee with a water pressure gauge to the upper end of the water pipe, fill the water chamber of the sealed tank with water, connect the water pipe, water meter and sealed tank with a water pipe, and connect the sealed tank to the air pump with an air pipe; evacuate the water pipe and cavity into a vacuum, apply air pressure with the air pump, convert the air pressure into water pressure through the sealed tank, open the water valve, and under the action of water pressure, water flows into the cavity and seeps into the concrete-rock interface.
[0019] Furthermore, once the seepage rate stabilizes under a certain water pressure, the permeability coefficient of the concrete-rock interface under that water pressure can be calculated using the following formula:
[0020]
[0021] In the formula: k is the permeability coefficient of the concrete-rock interface 8, in cm / s; L is the side length of the concrete-rock interface 8, in cm; d is the diameter of the hemispherical steel filter screen 5, in cm; t is the test measurement time after the seepage volume stabilizes, in s; V is the water volume measured by the water meter 2 within the measurement time t, in cm³. 3p is the water pressure measured by the water pressure gauge 10 during the measurement time t, and the unit is kPa.

A water pipe inserted into the cavity can transmit water pressure to the cavity and apply it to the concrete-rock interface, thus producing a permeability sample for the concrete-rock interface.
[0024] 2. The present invention uses a water pressure application device that combines an air pump and a sealed tank. This device can apply water pressure of different magnitudes to obtain the permeability of the concrete-rock interface under different water pressures, and can also prevent gas from entering the water during loading, thus solving the problem of gas affecting permeability.

[0048] This invention employs a water pressure application device combining an air pump and a sealed tank. This device can apply water pressure of different magnitudes to obtain the permeability of the concrete-rock interface under different water pressures, while also preventing gas from entering the water during loading, thus solving the problem of gas affecting permeability.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] This invention provides a method for preparing the permeation sample 1 in the test apparatus of Example 1, comprising:
[0051] Rock blocks 4 were selected and cut from the engineering site.

The water valve 12 is opened, and water flows into the cavity and seeps into the concrete-rock interface 8 under the action of water pressure.
[0056] The water meter 2 and water pressure gauge 10 connected to the data acquisition instrument 23 can measure the seepage volume under different water pressures, thereby calculating and analyzing the permeability of the concrete-rock interface.
