Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of land layers, and particularly relates to a novel low-strain detection method for a soft soil layer foundation pile. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low-strain detection refers to applying a dynamic force (dynamic load) on the pile top. The dynamic force can be a transient impact force or a steady-state excitation force. The pile-soil system produces a dynamic response under the action of the dynamic force. Different function sensors are used to measure the dynamic response signals (such as displacement, velocity, and acceleration signals) on the pile top. The structural integrity of the pile is determined through time domain analysis or transfer function analysis of the signals. The reflection wave method is used to repeatedly test each single pile to be detected for more than twice. For the same foundation pile, the three waveform curves formed by three hammering should be basically consistent in shape, amplitude, and phase. The collected data is calculated to be qualified.

[0003] At present, a high-pile cap pile foundation multi-measurement point low-strain detection method is disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN112663689, published on April 16, 2021, which includes the following steps: arranging three velocity sensors vertically and equidistantly along the exposed part of the pile body on the ground surface to receive the horizontal or vertical pile body velocity response component; applying a test excitation to the pile body above all sensors; decomposing the velocity response signals collected by the sensors into upgoing and downgoing waves, and constructing a frequency domain wideband response function through integral transformation; obtaining a virtual velocity response result that eliminates the vibration characteristics of the complex upper structure by the wideband response function and a virtual half-sine excitation; using the existing pile vibration analytical solution, adjusting the pile length in the analytical solution, fitting the virtual velocity response result, searching for the pile length at the optimal fitting time as the estimated value, and judging the pile body integrity based on the estimated value.

[0004] When the excitation point is struck by the excitation force hammer, the operator usually holds the excitation force hammer to strike the excitation point. However, the actual striking position may deviate from the excitation point when the human force strikes, which affects the final detection data. Meanwhile, when the steel cage exists on the circumferential side of the upper end surface of the solid foundation pile, it is very inconvenient to strike the excitation point by the excitation force hammer, and the steel cage is easily disturbed. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a novel low-strain detection method for a soft soil layer foundation pile, which can accurately strike the excitation point in the environment of a solid foundation pile with a steel cage.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solution: a novel low-strain detection method for a soft soil layer foundation pile, which includes the following steps:

[0008] (2) After determining that the pile head reaches the ideal height, clean it up to ensure that the pile head is flat and undamaged. In addition, in order to facilitate the installation of the sensor, 2-4 smooth surfaces with a diameter of 8-10 cm need to be polished;

[0009] (3) Set the test parameters: the time period length of the time domain signal recording should be continued for not less than 5 ms after 2L / c time; the upper limit of the frequency range of the amplitude-frequency signal analysis should be not less than 2000 Hz; the set pile length should be the construction pile length from the pile top measuring point to the pile bottom; the set pile body cross-sectional area should be the construction cross-sectional area; the pile body wave speed can be preliminarily set according to the test value of the same type of pile in the local area; the sampling time interval or sampling frequency should be reasonably selected according to the pile length, pile body wave speed and frequency domain resolution; the time domain signal sampling point number should not be less than 1024 points; the set value of the sensor should be set according to the measurement verification or calibration result;

[0010] (4) Measure the sensor installation and excitation operation: the sensor installation should be perpendicular to the pile top surface; when using coupling agent for bonding, it should have sufficient bonding strength; the knocking device is arranged on the steel reinforcement cage to knock the excitation point, so that the excitation point avoids the influence of the main reinforcement of the steel reinforcement cage, and the excitation direction should be along the pile axis direction;

[0011] (5) Signal acquisition and screening: according to the size of the pile diameter, 2-4 installation sensors are symmetrically arranged at the detection points in the pile core: the excitation point of the solid pile should be selected at the pile center, and the detection point should be at 2 / 3 of the radius from the pile center;

[0012] (6) Analysis and determination of detection data: for the determination of the average value of the pile body wave speed, when the pile length is known and the pile bottom reflection signal is clear, the average value of the pile body wave speed of not less than 5 piles with complete pile body should be calculated under the same foundation condition, pile type and piling process; when it cannot be determined according to the above, the average value of the wave speed can be determined comprehensively according to the measured value of other pile foundation engineering of the same pile type and piling process in the local area, combined with the aggregate variety and strength grade of the pile body concrete.

[0014] Further arrangement of the present application is that in step (5), when the pile diameter is large or the upper cross section size of the pile is irregular, in addition to collecting signals at the specified excitation point and detection point position as in the above paragraph, signals should also be collected by changing the position of the excitation point and detection point according to the characteristics of the measured signals; when the consistency of the time domain signals measured at different detection points and multiple times is poor, the reasons should be analyzed and the number of detection points should be increased; the way of changing the position of the excitation point and increasing the number of detection points should be determined according to the integrity of the pile body reflected by the measured signals to determine whether to test again or end the test; the signal should not be distorted and zero drift, and the signal amplitude should not exceed the range of the measurement system; the number of effective signals recorded at each detection point should not be less than 3.

[0025] By adopting the above technical scheme, the operator inserts the clamping column into the lower end of the lifting sleeve, and at this time the guide column is located at the position of the upper surface of the guide ring, the wedge-shaped block abuts against the second bevel part, the two wedge-shaped blocks move to the side away from each other, and the connecting spring is compressed, then the second bevel part can pass the wedge-shaped block, after the first bevel part moves to the position of the wedge-shaped block, under the elastic restoring force of the connecting spring, the two wedge-shaped blocks clamp the clamping column at the position of the first bevel part, thereby completing the clamping of the clamping column in the lifting sleeve and realizing the connection of the knocking hammer at the lower end of the lifting sleeve.

[0026] When it is necessary to release the knocking hammer, the double-shaft motor is started, so that the double-shaft motor drives the guide column to rotate around the output shaft of the double-shaft motor, at this time the guide column abuts against the upper surface of the guide ring and the bevel part, when the guide column moves from the position of the upper surface of the guide ring to the position of the bevel part, under the elastic restoring force of the reset spring, the lifting sleeve moves upward along the guide column, at this time the wedge-shaped block moves upward along the first bevel part and then moves to the second bevel part, after losing the clamping effect of the wedge-shaped block, the clamping column can be separated from the lifting sleeve, then the knocking hammer can fall under the action of its own gravity, and finally the knocking hammer can knock the vibration point below.

[0027] The further arrangement of the present application is that the output shaft at the lower end of the double-shaft motor is fixed with a thrust auxiliary spring for abutting against the upper end surface of the clamping column.

When the snap ring is separated from the rubber hammer pad, the swing arm can swing back to the center of the snap ring under the elastic restoring force of the mounting spring, so as to support the rubber hammer pad when it falls back after rebounding.

The output shaft at the lower end of the dual-axis motor 2 is welded with a thrust auxiliary spring 23 for abutting against the upper end surface of the locking post 504. At the same time, the first inclined surface 505 is opened on the upper end of the locking post 504 and is used for the wedge block 59 to engage, while the second inclined surface 506 is opened on the upper end of the locking post 504 and is located above the first inclined surface 505. The first inclined surface 505 and the second inclined surface 506 form a ">" shape.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 Below the lifting sleeve 51, a guide sleeve 6 is provided for the hammer 4 to fall. The upper end of the guide sleeve 6 is integrally provided with a first internal threaded ring 61, and the lower end of the lifting sleeve 51 is welded with a first external threaded ring 511 for threaded connection of the first internal threaded ring 61. At this time, the guide sleeve 6 and the lifting sleeve 51 can be detachably connected. At the same time, a magnet ring 7 is also provided at the lower end of the guide sleeve 6, and a second internal threaded ring 71 is bonded to the periphery of the magnet ring 7. The lower end of the guide sleeve 6 is integrally provided with a second external threaded ring 62 for threaded connection of the second internal threaded ring 71. At this time, the magnet ring 7 can be detachably connected to the lower end of the guide sleeve 6. After the guide sleeve 6 is installed below the lifting sleeve 51, there is a gap between the magnet ring 7 and the upper surface of the foundation pile, and the length of the rubber hammer pad 41 is greater than the sum of the gap width and the thickness of the magnet ring 7.

[0060] Referring to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 , the rubber hammer pad 41 is further sleeved with a snap ring 8 for attracting the magnet ring 7, and the snap ring 8 is in interference fit with the rubber hammer pad 41, but the friction between the snap ring 8 and the rubber hammer pad 41 is smaller than the attraction between the snap ring 8 and the magnet ring 7, wherein the snap ring 8 is further provided with a supporting piece 9 for supporting when the rubber hammer pad 41 rebounds and falls, and the supporting piece 9 includes an annular cavity 91, a swing arm 92 and a mounting spring 93, the annular cavity 91 is opened on the inner wall of the circumference of the snap ring 8, one end of the swing arm 92 is hinged to the inner wall of the annular cavity 91, and one end of the mounting spring 93 is welded with the end of the swing arm 92 and the other end is welded with the inner wall of the annular cavity 91, when the mounting spring 93 is in a natural state, the swing arm 92 swings to the center of the snap ring 8.

[0061] Principle: first, the surface of the pile is polished, the guide sleeve 6 and the knocking hammer 4 are removed, and the connecting arms 3 are combined together to form a handle for taking the double-shaft motor 2 (refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 8 ), the operator can hold the connecting arm 3 and drive the polishing grinding wheel 21 to polish the upper surface of the pile through the double-shaft motor 2, and after polishing, the elastic expansion of the elastic ring 221 is wrapped around the polishing grinding wheel 21, so that the polishing grinding wheel 21 drives the cleaning ring 22 to rotate when rotating, and the brush part 222 on the circumference of the elastic ring 221 can clean the polished upper surface of the pile, so as to facilitate the installation of the sensor.

[0062] Then the fixing sleeve 1 is sleeved on the steel bar by the mounting sleeve 33 of the connecting arm 3, and then the locking bolt 332 is threadedly connected to the inner threaded sleeve 331 and abuts against the steel bar, at this time, the detachable connection between the connecting arm 3 and the steel cage can be realized, so as to position the fixing sleeve 1 at the center excitation point of the pile.

[0063] Subsequently, the operator inserts the clamping column 504 of the knocking hammer 4 into the lower end of the lifting sleeve 51 and abuts against the thrust auxiliary spring 23, while the guide column 54 is located at the position of the upper surface of the guide ring 52, at this time, the wedge-shaped blocks 59 abut against the second inclined surface 506, so that the two wedge-shaped blocks 59 move towards the side away from each other, and the connecting spring 503 is compressed, then the second inclined surface 506 can pass the wedge-shaped blocks 59, after the first inclined surface 505 moves to the position of the wedge-shaped blocks 59, under the elastic restoring force of the connecting spring 503, the two wedge-shaped blocks 59 clamp the clamping column 504 at the position of the first inclined surface 505, thereby completing the clamping of the clamping column 504 in the lifting sleeve 51, realizing the connection of the knocking hammer 4 at the lower end of the lifting sleeve 51; then the clamping ring 8 is sleeved on the rubber hammer pad 41, and the swing arm 92 swings towards the side away from the center of the clamping ring 8, and then the guide sleeve 6 is connected to the lower side of the lifting sleeve 51 and plays a guiding role in the falling of the knocking hammer 4 through the guide sleeve 6.

[0064] When it is necessary to release the knocking hammer 4, the double-shaft motor 2 is started, so that the double-shaft motor 2 drives the guide column 54 to rotate around the output shaft of the double-shaft motor 2, at this time, the guide column 54 abuts against the upper surface of the guide ring 52 and the inclined surface part 53, when the guide column 54 moves from the position of the upper surface of the guide ring 52 to the position of the inclined surface part 53, under the elastic restoring force of the reset spring 57, the lifting sleeve 51 moves upward along the guide column 55, at this time, the wedge-shaped blocks 59 move upward along the first inclined surface 505 and then move to the second inclined surface 506, after losing the clamping of the wedge-shaped blocks 59, the clamping column 504 can quickly separate from the lifting sleeve 51 under the auxiliary action of the thrust auxiliary spring 23, then the knocking hammer 4 falls under the action of its own gravity.

[0065] When the knocking hammer 4 falls together with the clamping ring 8, the rubber hammer pad 41 can pass through the magnet ring 7 and complete the knocking action with the upper surface of the pile, at this time, the clamping ring 8 can be attracted to the magnet ring 7, and after the knocking hammer 4 rebounds, the clamping ring 8 can be separated from the rubber hammer pad 41, then under the elastic restoring force of the installation spring 93, the swing arm 92 swings reversely and then swings to the center of the clamping ring 8, thereby supporting the rubber hammer pad 41 when it rebounds and falls, avoiding the rubber hammer pad 41 from colliding with the upper surface of the pile after passing through the magnet ring 7 again, finally, the knocking hammer 4 can only produce one knocking action when it falls each time, which is conducive to the data collection of the sensor of the detection point.
