Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a penetration system for geotechnical engineering in-situ testing, in particular to a static sounding penetration system suitable for hard soil sites such as frozen soil. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of economy, the process of urbanization and industrialization is accelerating, and the area and volume of urban circles are becoming larger and larger. Special hard soil sites such as frozen soil, weathered rock and solidified soil frequently appear in the conventional engineering construction process. Therefore, it is of great significance to effectively and accurately obtain the geological survey data and engineering property parameters of hard soil sites such as frozen soil for the design and treatment of the related regional foundation.

[0003] Hard soil sites usually use drilling sampling and indoor testing to obtain and analyze engineering property parameters, but sampling indoor testing has problems such as large sample disturbance, discontinuous data, and time and labor consuming. Modern static sounding technology is a kind of in-situ testing technology for site engineering characteristics, which has the advantages of high precision, rich data and convenient operation, and is widely used in geotechnical engineering in-situ testing. Therefore, using static sounding technology to detect the engineering characteristics of hard soil sites such as frozen soil can effectively overcome the existing problems of hard soil site parameter acquisition and analysis.

[0004] It should be noted that modern static sounding technology is usually applied to sites such as cohesive soil, silty soil and sandy soil, and the device has certain limitations when applied to hard soil layers such as frozen soil, weathered rock and solidified soil. Common problems include probe skewing, penetration difficulty, unstable penetration rate, insufficient reaction force and other problems. It is difficult to stably obtain accurate data of the physical and mechanical properties of hard soil layers, it is difficult to achieve standard requirements of constant speed and uniform speed static sounding test, and it cannot avoid the influence of strain rate on the strength parameters of hard soil.

[0005] The penetration rate of static sounding test is an important reason affecting the accuracy of in-situ strength parameter measurement data of hard soil sites such as frozen soil. Fast penetration and slow penetration will have different degrees of influence on the measured in-situ strength parameters. The compressive strength of hard soil has rate sensitivity, which is related to strain rate and medium type. It is reflected in the different ratio of dynamic compressive strength to static compressive strength λ. Based on the statistical analysis results, taking weathered rock as an example, the strain rate range of static loading is ε' < 5 × 10 -4 s -1 ; the strain rate range of medium strain rate loading is 5 × 10 -4 s -1 < 10 2 s -1Regression fitting of data from the static and quasi-dynamic regions revealed that under static loading, λ remained near 1.00, close to a constant; under medium strain rate loading, λ and strain rate followed a power function distribution:

[0006] λ is the ratio of dynamic compressive strength to static compressive strength; ε' is the strain rate. Based on the sensitivity of compressive strength to strain rate, three ranges can be defined: ε' < 10. -4 s -1 When the sensitivity is poor; ε'>10 -3 s -1 Sensitivity is highest at 10. -4 s -1 <ε'<10 -3 s -1 At that time, it was quite sensitive.

[0007] In summary, to achieve continuous, high-precision in-situ testing using a static cone penetration test system in hard soil sites such as frozen soil, it is necessary to address sufficient reaction force conditions and an effective real-time control system for the penetration rate. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a static cone penetration test system with high anchoring force and variable rate suitable for hard soil sites such as frozen soil.
