Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of test devices, and particularly relates to a test device and method for simulating the influence mechanism of ground grouting on a shield tunnel. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present application and do not necessarily constitute the prior art.

[0003] With the acceleration of urbanization in China, ground transportation facilities have been difficult to bear the increasing traffic volume, and underground space construction has become an important means to alleviate traffic pressure. More and more subways are built, and a series of subway safety problems follow. At present, the tunnel of the subway station is generally constructed by the cut-and-cover method, of which the typical representatives are the mine method and the shield method. The shield method is widely used in urban subway construction due to its safety and efficiency. However, due to the different specific conditions of strata in different regions and the occurrence of groundwater, the shield construction may cause certain safety hazards. For areas with developed groundwater systems, the freezing method can prevent the influence of groundwater during construction. However, as the tunnel usage period becomes longer, regular maintenance and repair are required. If the external environment of the tunnel is unstable or there is a water-rich area, it will pose a potential threat to the safety of the internal chamber.

[0004] At present, the methods of in-hole grouting and ground grouting are generally used to stop water to reduce the permeability coefficient of the soil around the tunnel lining and block the connection between groundwater and the tunnel chamber. Due to the limitations of tunnel space and subway operation time, in-hole grouting is generally used for small-scale reconstruction, limited water inflow, and small grouting volume. Ground grouting is mainly used for water-rich strata around the tunnel, wide reconstruction, and large grouting volume. It can fundamentally transform the tunnel peripheral strata environment and play a decisive role in preventing tunnel water inflow. Ground grouting is performed by drilling and grouting on the ground above the tunnel area to block the nearby loose water-bearing body through stratum seepage. Due to the diffusion of grouting pressure, it will have a certain impact on the tunnel lining structure. If the grouting pressure is too high, it will damage the tunnel structure and even cause safety accidents. If the grouting pressure is too low, the grout cannot effectively fill the gap, and the stratum transformation effect is poor, which cannot play the expected water-blocking role. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and engineering value to study the influence mechanism of ground grouting pressure control on existing tunnel structures, and it has important guiding significance for the safety of the lining structure and the control of stratum stability.

[0005] There is currently no research device for ground grouting on tunnel segments, but the mechanism of grouting pressure transmission from the stratum to the segment is extremely complex and difficult to accurately describe through theoretical research. The existing device cannot simulate the process of external grout diffusion to the tunnel segment. SUMMARY

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a test device and method for studying the influence mechanism of ground grouting on a shield tunnel.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, one or more embodiments of the present application provide the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present application provides a test device for studying the influence mechanism of ground grouting on a shield tunnel.

[0009] The test device for studying the influence mechanism of ground grouting on a shield tunnel comprises:

[0010] The box is filled with soil in the order of the first soil simulation layer, the second water-rich sand simulation layer, and the third soil simulation layer. A water inlet is formed on one side of the box for injecting water into the second water-rich sand simulation layer. A grouting pipe extends from the outside of the box into the second water-rich sand simulation layer for grouting to simulate ground grouting.

[0011] A segment model is arranged in the second water-rich sand simulation layer of the box to simulate a shield tunnel.

[0012] Stress-strain sensors and displacement sensors are fixed on the segment model to sense strain and displacement.

[0013] An analysis module obtains the influence mechanism of ground grouting on a shield tunnel based on the sensed strain and displacement.

[0014] The influence mechanism includes the variation of stress-strain and displacement of the segment model with time and the mechanical characteristics of stress, axial force, bending moment, and displacement of the segment model under different grouting pressures.

[0015] Further, the box is made of thick acrylic plates and is provided with a pressure-bearing steel frame around the periphery. A water inlet is formed on one side, and a water outlet is formed at the bottom of the other side.

[0016] The water inlet and the water outlet are provided with water-permeable membranes to prevent fine sand from being lost.

[0023] Further, the stress-strain sensors are multiple and are uniformly distributed and fixed on the inner wall and the outer wall of the segment model.

[0024] The displacement sensors are multiple, one end of which is fixed on the horizontal rod inside the segment model, and the other end is in contact with the inner wall of the segment model.

[0025] Further, the analysis module comprises an acquisition instrument and a computer.

[0026] The stress-strain sensors and the displacement sensors are both connected with the acquisition instrument.

[0027] The acquisition instrument acquires the strain monitoring value of the stress-strain sensor and the displacement monitoring value of the displacement sensor.

[0028] The computer obtains the change rule of the stress-strain and displacement of the segment model with time and calculates the stress, axial force, bending moment and displacement mechanical characteristics of the segment model under the action of different grouting pressures.

[0029] The second aspect of the present application provides a test method for studying the influence mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnels.

[0030] The test method for studying the influence mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnels adopts the test device provided by the first aspect of the present application to test the influence mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnels, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0031] Water is continuously injected into the second water-rich sand layer through the water inlet to simulate a water-rich environment.

[0032] Under a preset grouting pressure, grouting is performed on the second water-rich sand layer through the grouting pipe.

[0033] The slurry seepage diffuses to the segment model, and the stress-strain sensor and the displacement sensor perceive the strain and displacement of the segment model.

[0034] Adjusting different grouting pressures to carry out repeated tests, based on the perceived strain and displacement, the influence mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnel is obtained;

[0035] The influence mechanism includes the stress-strain and displacement of the segment model over time and the stress, axial force, bending moment and displacement mechanical characteristics of the segment model under the action of different grouting pressures.

[0037] In the present application, the segment model is arranged in the second water-rich sand layer of the box body, and the two ends are in contact with the box body and sealed and waterproofed by using rubber rings, which is more realistic in simulating the ability of the tunnel segment to maintain its stability under the action of the external environment than the prior art.

[0068] V. Working process or principle of the device

[0069] (1) The setting process of the stress-strain sensor 12 and the displacement sensor 19 is as follows:

[0070] As shown in Figure 3 , 8 points are uniformly arranged along the ring direction of the segment model 14, and 16 stress-strain sensors 12 are fixed at the corresponding positions of the inner and outer walls. A waterproof coating is applied to the outer wall to ensure the normal operation of the outer wall sensor. The displacement sensor 19 is fixed on the crossbar across the middle of the segment model 14, and the measuring heads thereof respectively contact the upper and lower inner walls of the segment model 14 in four directions, and ensure a stretching range of 0.5 cm.

[0071] (2) The box 9 can mainly be used for containing soil, accommodating the segment model 14 and providing a seepage space for grouting. The soil filling process is as follows:

[0072] Firstly, a water-permeable film is arranged at the water inlet 10 and the water outlet 17 to prevent fine sand loss;

[0073] Secondly, fill the soil in the box 9 to a certain height, pre-bury the segment model 14 and the grouting pipe 11 at the set position, fix the grouting pipe 11 on the upper part of the box 9 by the crossbar 18, and fix the segment model 14 in the segment model accommodating area and waterproof seal by the rubber gasket 13. The grouting pipe 11 is fixed on the box 9 by the crossbar 18 to ensure the stability of the grouting pipe 11;

[0074] Finally, according to the implementation scheme, the soil is filled layer by layer, the uniformity of the soil density is ensured as much as possible, the stress-strain sensor 12 fixed on the outer wall of the segment model 14 is protected, and the soil near the grouting pipe 11 is pressed to ensure close combination.

[0075] (3) The grouting cylinder 4 serves as a slurry storage device and has a certain pressure-bearing capacity. Before use, the rubber ring and the bolt are tightly closed, and the air tightness is checked. The specific operation is as follows:

[0076] The air compressor 1 in the grouting system is connected to the grouting cylinder 4 through the air conveying hose, the pressure relief valve 7 and the grout outlet valve 8 are closed, the air inlet valve 6 is opened, the air compressor 1 is started, and the pressure gauge 3 is observed. After the specified pressure value is reached, the pressure regulating device 2 is adjusted to stabilize at the pressure value. Check whether the grouting cylinder 4 has air flow sound, and whether the pressure gauge 3 reading decreases within a period of time. If all the above phenomena occur, the grouting cylinder 4 has good air tightness.

[0077] (4) After checking the pressure relief in the cylinder, the specific operation of the grouting test is as follows:

[0078] Disconnect the air inlet valve 6 from the air compressor 1, open the air inlet valve 6 and the pressure relief valve 7, and pump the slurry from the pressure relief valve 7 into the grouting cylinder 4 by a small water pump. The nozzle should be inserted into the grouting cylinder 4 to prevent the slurry from sticking to the pressure relief valve 7 and affecting the subsequent exhaust pressure relief. The volume of pumped slurry should not exceed 3 / 4 of the volume of the grouting cylinder 4. Record the mass of the slurry by the platform scale 5, then close the pressure relief valve 7, reconnect the air inlet valve 6 to the air compressor 1, start the air compressor 1, and observe the pressure gauge 3. When the pressure reaches the specified value, adjust the pressure regulating device 2 to stabilize at the pressure value. Debug the software and start collecting data. Open the grouting valve 8 to allow the slurry to flow uniformly from the grouting cylinder 4, through the small hole at the lower section of the grouting pipe 11, and into the soil. The slurry diffuses to the pipe segment model 14, causing changes in the stress-strain sensor 12 and displacement sensor 19. The relevant data is collected and recorded. Stop grouting when the monitoring data changes or the soil surface shows signs of grouting. Record the remaining grouting amount of the platform scale 5 again, stop data collection, close the grouting valve 8, air compressor 1, and air inlet valve 6 in turn, and open the pressure relief valve 7 to exhaust. When the pressure gauge 3 shows 0, disconnect the grouting valve 8 from the grouting hose, open the grouting valve 8, and allow the slurry to flow freely into the temporary collection device below. Pump clean water into the cylinder through the pressure relief valve 7 until clean water flows out of the grouting valve 8. Close the grouting valve 8, remove the grouting pipe 11 from the soil, and reconnect it to the grouting valve 8. When sufficient clean water is pumped into the grouting cylinder 4, remove the water pump pipe and close the pressure relief valve 7. Start the air compressor 1 and control the pressure to a small value. Open the air inlet valve 6 and the grouting valve 8 to allow clean water to flow out of the grouting pipe 11. Collect the waste liquid and allow the remaining cement slurry in the grouting pipe 11 to flow out. When the clean water in the grouting cylinder 4 is exhausted, close the grouting valve 8, air compressor 1, and air inlet valve 6 in turn.

[0079] (5) The analysis process is as follows:

[0080] After the test is completed, the collected data is exported to the computer 16 to obtain the strain and displacement changes of the pipe segment model 14 during grouting. The maximum stress value of the measuring point is calculated by formula (1), and the bending moment and axial force at the measuring point are known by formula (2). The mechanical response law of the pipe segment model 14 under the action of grouting pressure is obtained.

[0081] Based on the three strains of the stress-strain sensor 12 in the axial, ring, and axial and ring angle bisector directions, the formula for calculating the maximum stress is:

[0082] (1)

[0083] wherein, , respectively represent the first, third principal stress, , and respectively represent the corresponding strain of the strain rosette in the axial direction (x), the hoop direction (y) and the axial and hoop bisector direction (z), represents the elastic modulus of the segment model material, represents the Poisson's ratio of the segment model material.

[0084] The bending moment M and the axial force N of the tunnel model are calculated according to the following formula:

[0085] (2)

[0086] wherein, b is the unit length of the segment in the longitudinal direction; h is the thickness of the tunnel segment; E is the elastic modulus of the lining material; , respectively represent the strain of the inner wall and the outer wall of the segment in different directions.

[0087] The idea in the embodiment is to rely on the ground grouting scheme for reinforcing the stratum near the tunnel in the actual project, simulate the whole process of ground grouting, monitor the stress, strain and displacement data of the tunnel to study the mechanical response characteristics of the tunnel under the action of different grouting pressures, and apply the same to the actual project.

[0094] ​​Adjusting different grouting pressure to carry out repeated test, get the stress-strain and displacement of the pipe model with time variation law; get the stress, axial force, bending moment and displacement of the pipe model under different grouting pressure by formula (1) (2).

9. A test method for studying the impact mechanism of simulated ground grouting on shield tunnels, characterized in that, The test, conducted using the testing apparatus described in any one of claims 1-8, simulates the impact mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnels. The specific steps are as follows: Water is continuously injected into the second simulated water-rich sand layer through the inlet to simulate a water-rich environment. Under the preset grouting pressure, grout is injected into the second simulated water-rich sand layer through the grouting pipe; The grout seeps and diffuses into the segment model, and the strain and displacement of the segment model are sensed by stress-strain sensors and displacement sensors. By adjusting different grouting pressures and conducting repeated tests, the influence mechanism of ground grouting on shield tunnels was obtained based on the sensed strain and displacement. The influencing mechanism includes the stress-strain and displacement variation law of the segment model over time, and the stress, axial force, bending moment and displacement mechanical characteristics of the segment model under different grouting pressures.
