Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of shield tunnel segment joint testing devices, specifically relating to a test system for the mechanical properties of shield tunnel segment joints under fire-explosion coupling effects. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of the economy and the gradual development of underground space, the number of tunnels put into operation both domestically and internationally has increased rapidly. The types of disasters affecting tunnel structures mainly include two categories: progressive disasters—such as deformation, leakage, and cracking—and sudden disasters—such as fires, explosions, and earthquakes. Currently, domestic and international research on tunnel structures primarily focuses on the response of tunnel structures under single sudden disasters such as explosions, deformation, and fires, while research on the mechanical properties of tunnel structures under the coupled effects of multiple disasters is still insufficient. Due to the complex and variable geographical, climatic, and geological conditions of tunnels, as well as their spatial morphology and operational status, tunnels are prone to developing weak points during long-term operation or in the event of a preliminary disaster. These weak points are often located at joints, leading to a more complex mechanical response and failure mode of the tunnel lining structure in subsequent disasters.
[0003] Fire-explosion accidents within tunnels can have severe consequences and greatly threaten the safe operation of tunnels. Therefore, it is necessary to study the mechanical properties of tunnel lining structures under the coupled effects of fire and explosion.
[0004] Due to their long, narrow structure, confined space, poor ventilation, and high temperatures, tunnels are difficult to extinguish quickly after a fire, often resulting in extremely serious consequences. If a tunnel structure is subjected to fire again after being damaged by an explosion, the mechanical response of the structure under subsequent fire will be more complex due to the damage caused by the explosion. Furthermore, the structural damage from the explosion poses a significant threat to the lives of firefighters and nearby residents. Explosions also generate shock waves that can scatter flammable materials into the air and surrounding areas, and can damage the protective layer of the reinforcing steel in the tunnel lining, exposing the steel and leading to deterioration of the lining's mechanical properties. Fires and explosions within tunnels severely endanger the lives and property of people inside, cause significant damage to the tunnel's electromechanical facilities, and the high temperatures and impacts of the fire and explosion can cause localized damage and mechanical degradation of the concrete, greatly reducing the load-bearing capacity of the tunnel lining structure.
[0005] Shield tunneling has been widely used due to its advantages such as strong adaptability to construction environments, minimal environmental impact, and safe and rapid construction. However, the large diameter, numerous segmented sections and joints, and weak ground constraint of shield tunnels make their structural behavior extremely complex under multiple disasters, including fire and explosion. Most studies only consider the impact of a single extreme disaster like fire or explosion on the tunnel structure, failing to provide guidance for tunnel structural design under fire-explosion coupling. The mechanical response characteristics and failure modes of shield tunnels under fire-explosion coupling urgently need to be addressed. Therefore, research on the mechanical response and failure modes of shield tunnel lining structures under fire-explosion coupling, and a thorough understanding of the mechanical response, deformation characteristics, and failure modes of shield tunnel segment joints and lining structures under such conditions, is of great significance for ensuring the safety of people's lives and property and the normal operation of shield tunnels.
[0006] Currently, there is no simple and reliable experimental equipment for exploring the mechanical response characteristics and failure modes of shield tunnels under fire-explosion coupling. This experimental system can effectively simulate fire-explosion coupling scenarios, taking into account the effects of high temperature and explosive impact on the mechanical properties of shield tunnel segment joints. With the help of sophisticated control programs and data acquisition technology, it provides a feasible approach to explore the mechanical response characteristics and failure modes of shield tunnels under fire-explosion coupling, which has significant practical and academic value.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0036] Example 1
[0037] Mechanical property test of segment joints in top-arch shield tunnel
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a mechanical performance testing system for fire-explosion coupling effect of tunnel segment joints includes: a fire thermal environment simulation unit, an explosion impact simulation unit, a heat insulation protection unit, a rotation unit, a loading unit, and a data acquisition unit.
[0039] The loading unit includes a reaction frame 27 fixed on a horizontal ground. In this embodiment, the reaction frame 27 includes two parallel columns, a top beam installed on the top of the two columns, and a middle suspension beam installed on the inner wall of one of the columns. The middle suspension beam is used to install the lifting motor 13 of the bottom arch impact device. In this embodiment, the rotating frame 26 includes two parallel frame columns, a crossbeam installed on the top of the two frame columns, and four cantilever beams installed in the middle and bottom of the two frame columns. The cantilever beam in the middle is a loading platform 18, and the length of the cantilever beam at the bottom is longer than the length of the cantilever beam in the middle. The bottom cantilever beam and the cantilever beam in the middle are equipped with... A heating furnace 3 is installed. A vertical loading jack 24, which applies a vertical load to the component 5 under test, is installed at the center of the lower surface of the top crossbeam. A vertical force sensor 28 is installed between the vertical loading jack 24 and the crossbeam. A horizontal loading jack 25 is installed on the inner wall of the frame column at the top of the two cantilever beams. A horizontal force sensor 29 is installed between the horizontal loading jack 25 and the column of the reaction frame 27. In this embodiment, there are two horizontal loading jacks 25. The loading end of the horizontal loading jack 25 rests on the support 19. The support 19 is composed of a right-angle plate with a flat plate welded to the bottom. The support 19 is connected to the cantilever beam of the rotating frame 26 through the flat plate on it. This arrangement The method provides a stable platform for the loading process of the component under test 5, while avoiding damage to the component under test 5 caused by minor lateral deformation during loading. The support 19 can simulate a movable hinge support, a semi-fixed hinge support, or a fixed hinge support. The component under test 5 is placed between two supports 19, with both ends of the component under test 5 abutting against the right-angle plates of the support 19. A filler is set at the right angle of the support 19 to ensure that the ends of the component under test 5 are in full contact with the support 19. The column of the reaction frame 27 is equipped with a rotating frame 26 via a rotating shaft 21. One end of the rotating shaft 21 is rotatably installed with the column, and the other end is fixed to the frame column of the rotating frame 26. The middle cantilever beam is set higher than the rotating frame 26. A rotary motor 1 is installed on the outside of the column 27. The output shafts of the two rotary motors 1 are connected to the corresponding rotating shaft 21 via couplings. Rotary locks 22 are installed between the two ends of the rotating frame 26 and the reaction frame 27. In this embodiment, the rotary locks 22 are electromagnets, and the electromagnets are energized and de-energized by a computer. A load-sharing beam is set between the vertical loading jack 24 and the component under test 5. The load-sharing beam includes two loading heads that contact the component under test 5 and a bearing beam connected to the vertical loading jack 24. The entire loading system can achieve four-point loading, eliminating the influence of shear force on the weak points of the shield tunnel segment joints and better simulating the actual stress condition of the component under test 5. The maximum test force that the vertical loading jack 24 and the horizontal loading jack 25 can apply is 1000kN, and the maximum stroke is 500mm. They are responsible for applying horizontal and vertical loads to the component under test 5 to simulate the actual stress condition of the component under test 5 during operation.
[0040] The fire thermal environment simulation unit includes a heating furnace 3 made of refractory concrete and resistance wires 2 installed on the side walls and bottom plate of the heating furnace 3. Temperature sensors 30 are installed on the inner wall of the heating furnace 3. An impact rod sleeve 10 is installed on the bottom plate of the heating furnace 3, and the impact rod sleeve 10 is an integral part of the heating furnace 3. One part of the impact rod sleeve 10 is located inside the heating furnace 3, corresponding to the component 5 under test, while the other part is located outside the heating furnace 3, with its bottom end passing between two cantilever beams located at the bottom of the rotating frame 26. The impact rod sleeve 10 is a hollow tube, with internal threads machined at one end and a protrusion 31 facing the center at the other end.
[0041] Before heating, a temperature sensor 30 is installed inside the heating furnace 3; strain gauges, displacement gauges, accelerometers, goniometers, and digital image analyzer measuring points are installed on the component to be tested 5. During heating, the computer automatically adjusts the power of the resistance wire 2 according to the set temperature and the temperature inside the heating furnace 3 detected by the temperature sensor 30, so that the temperature inside the heating furnace 3 can rise according to the ISO834 standard heating curve, HC heating curve, RWS heating curve, or RABT heating curve. The temperature sensor 30 inside the heating furnace 3 detects the real-time temperature inside the furnace and feeds it back to the computer. If the computer analyzes the temperature data fed back by the temperature sensor 30 and finds that the heating rate does not conform to the predetermined heating curve, the computer controls the resistance wire 2 to cut off the power to ensure the safety of the test personnel and test instruments.
[0042] The rotating shaft 21, the rotary motor 1, and the rotary lock 22 form a rotating unit. During the explosive impact test, the top arch impact device and the bottom arch impact device adjust their directions through the rotating unit. During the test, after the component to be tested 5 is fixed, the rotating shaft 21 is rotated by the rotary motor 1 to rotate the rotating frame 26 to the required position. The position of the rotating frame 26 is fixed during the test by locking the rotary lock 22. When the top arch impact load is applied, the heating furnace 3 opens upward to heat the inside of the component to be tested 5. When the bottom arch impact load is applied, the rotating frame 26 rotates 180°, and the heating furnace 3 opens downward to heat the inside of the component to be tested 5. Whether it is the top arch impact load or the bottom arch impact load, the heating furnace 3 always heats the inside of the component to be tested 5.
[0043] The explosion impact simulation unit is either a top-arch impact device installed on a horizontal surface or a bottom-arch impact device installed on the middle cantilever of the reaction frame 27.

The impact fall buffer device 9 includes a tube and a spring. One end of the tube body is machined with an internal thread, and a boss is provided on the inner wall of the tube body at the top of the internal thread. A spring is provided on the top of the boss. In this embodiment, the spring is a compression spring. The other end of the tube body is machined with an external thread that mates with the internal thread of the impact rod sleeve 10. The top of the nitrogen storage chamber 8 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the tube body of the impact fall buffer device 9.

The impact end of the top arch impact rod 11 is machined into a hemispherical surface, and the non-impact end is machined with a boss that mates with the protrusion 31 of the impact rod sleeve 10. A speed sensor is installed on the top arch impact rod 11. The top end of the tube body of the impact fall buffer device 9 is threadedly connected to the bottom end of the impact rod sleeve 10. The pressure sensor 6 in the nitrogen storage chamber 8 detects the real-time pressure value in the nitrogen storage chamber 8 and feeds it back to the computer. If the computer analyzes the increase rate based on the feedback pressure value and finds that it does not match the expected rate, the computer will control the electromagnetic one-way valve 4 to close and stop the nitrogen supply to ensure the safety of the test personnel and test instruments.
[0044] The heat insulation protection unit includes a movable heat insulation block 15, heat insulation fiber 16, and heat insulation plate 17 located at the connection between the component under test 5 and the heating furnace 3. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the heat insulation plate 17 is located at the connection between the front and rear ends of the component under test 5 and the heating furnace 3. Heat insulation fiber 16 and movable heat insulation block 15 are sequentially arranged on the inner sides of both ends of the component under test 5 and the connection with the heating furnace 3.
[0045] The outer periphery of the impact rod sleeve 10, the outer periphery of the impact rod sleeve extension tube 12, and the outer periphery of the impact rod fall buffer device 9 are provided with heat insulation layers to reduce heat loss and at the same time avoid the impact of high temperature inside the furnace on external test equipment, loading equipment, test personnel, and the surrounding environment.
[0046] The data acquisition unit includes a vertical force sensor 28 connected to the vertical loading jack 24, a horizontal force sensor 29 connected to the horizontal loading jack 25, a temperature sensor 30 inside the heating furnace 3, velocity sensors on the top arch impact rod 11 and the bottom arch impact rod 14, a pressure sensor 6 installed on the side wall of the nitrogen storage chamber 8, and strain gauges, displacement gauges, accelerometers, goniometers, and digital image analyzers on the component under test 5. The output terminals of the vertical force sensor 28, horizontal force sensor 29, temperature sensor 30, velocity sensor, pressure sensor 6, strain gauges, displacement gauges, accelerometers, goniometers, and digital image analyzers are respectively connected to the input terminals of a computer. The output terminals of the computer are respectively connected to the input terminals of the lifting motor 13, the rotary motor 1, the resistance wire 2, and the electromagnetic one-way valve 4. The data is transmitted to the computer in real time for analysis to obtain the strain, displacement, acceleration, joint angle, and crack development of the component under test 5. In case of abnormality, the alarm device is activated to guide the control devices to handle the situation safely.

When the pressure sensor 6 on the nitrogen storage chamber 8 fed back the detected actual gas pressure to the computer, when the computer determined that the actual gas pressure value was equal to the set test gas pressure value, the computer controlled the electromagnetic one-way valve 4 to close and stop the supply of nitrogen; the nitrogen released through the nitrogen storage chamber 8 pushed the top arch impact rod 11 through the impact rod sleeve 10 to impact the component under test 5, and the strain rate of the impact on the component under test 5 could reach 10. -1 -10 2 s -1 The end of the impact rod sleeve 10 is provided with a protrusion 31 to prevent the top arch impact rod 11 from being thrown out of the impact rod sleeve 10 after impact and causing danger. After the impact, the top arch impact rod 11 falls back to the impact rod return buffer device 9 by its own weight through the impact rod sleeve 10. The impact rod return buffer device 9 is provided with a spring to absorb the remaining energy of the top arch impact rod 11 when it falls back, so as to avoid damage to the test instrument.

[0050] Mechanical property test of segment joints in bottom arch shield tunnels
[0051] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that a bottom arch impact device is used.

[0052] Currently, in the common heating methods used for high-temperature fire tests of components, when conducting mechanical property tests on the joints of shield tunnel segments under fire-explosion coupling under negative bending moment loading, the heating furnace 3, which rotates with the loading unit, is located below the component 5 under test, with the opening of the heating furnace 3 facing downwards. The existing methods do not meet the conditions required for heating using coke combustion, oil heating, and gas heating, and are extremely dangerous.
