Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power transmission tower foundation technology, and in particular to a test device and method for the instability of power transmission tower foundations located near rivers under extreme loads. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid industrialization and urbanization, electricity demand is constantly increasing. In some areas, the power system capacity can no longer meet local needs, and cross-river power transmission projects can provide an effective way to deliver more electricity. When power grid transmission lines cross rivers, the foundations of transmission towers inevitably have to be erected in riverside areas. The stability of these foundations is often affected by hydrological factors, with wave loads being one of the most significant hazards. The impact of waves and the dynamic flow caused by swells erode and wash away the soil around the tower foundation. Long-term erosion and washing can loosen and dissolve the soil, leading to piping, reducing the foundation's bearing capacity, and increasing the risk of instability. Furthermore, waves exert dynamic loads on the tower foundations, causing vibrations and stress concentrations. In severe cases, this can lead to tilting or collapse.

[0003] In addition, transmission towers are often subjected to extreme loads in the natural environment, including wind loads, rain loads, and icing loads. Under extreme loads, transmission towers will bear more horizontal and vertical loads, which will further reduce the stability of the transmission tower foundation.

[0004] Traditional transmission tower foundation design methods do not consider the impact of wave loads and extreme loads on foundation stability, relying solely on empirical formulas and static analysis methods. Therefore, they often cannot accurately predict the instability behavior of transmission tower foundations in riverside areas. Furthermore, there is currently no experimental device that can intuitively demonstrate the instability and failure of transmission tower foundations under wave loads and extreme loads, making it impossible to simulate the actual conditions in riverside areas.

[0024] A test method for the instability of a transmission tower foundation located near a river under extreme loads, the test method being applied to a test device for the instability of a transmission tower foundation located near a river under extreme loads, the test method comprising the following steps:

[0025] Step 1: Set up three model boxes. Based on the hydrological and geological survey data of the Linjiang area, obtain the surface elevation, soil physical parameters, and relative height data between the river surface and the land surface. Then, according to the similarity principle and similarity ratio, fill the soil and inject water into each model box. Based on the geographical location, climate conditions, ice thickness observation data, and wave buoy observation data of the Linjiang area, obtain the range values ​​of wind load, rainfall load, ice load, and wave load. Then, according to the similarity principle and similarity ratio, determine the range of various load values ​​to be applied in the test of each model box.

[0026] Step 2: Install the transmission tower foundation in the soil, fix the transmission tower to the transmission tower foundation, hinge the transmission line to the transmission tower, install water sprinklers directly above the model box, install wind power equipment and refrigeration equipment on the side wall of the model box, install a wave generation system at the bottom of the water body in the model box, and set a potential piping development zone in the soil.

[0027] Step 3: In the first model box, the water sprinkler system is activated via the control and monitoring system to simulate rainfall, and the flow rate of the water sprinkler system is adjusted to achieve different intensities of rainfall load; the wind turbine system is activated via the control and monitoring system to simulate wind load, and the power of the wind turbine system is adjusted to achieve different intensities of wind load; the refrigeration system is activated via the control and monitoring system to cause water on the surface of the transmission line to freeze into ice, and the power of the refrigeration system is adjusted to achieve different weights of icing load; the instability values ​​of the transmission tower foundation under rainfall load, wind load, and icing load are recorded via the control and monitoring system.

[0028] Step 4: In the second model box, the wave generation system is started by controlling the monitoring system. The wave generation system drives the water body to generate wave load. The monitoring system monitors and records the amount of sand produced per unit time in the potential piping development zone under the wave load. Then, the influence of the development of the potential piping development zone under the wave load on the settlement and tilt of the transmission tower foundation is analyzed.

[0029] Step 5: In the third model box, start the water sprinkler head, wind power equipment, refrigeration equipment, and wave generation system through the control and monitoring system, and adjust the wind load, rain load, icing load, and wave load to the maximum value. Then, record the instability value of the transmission tower foundation under the action of wind load, rain load, icing load, and wave load through the control and monitoring system, determine the dominant instability failure mode of the transmission tower foundation, and determine the instability failure mode of the transmission tower foundation.

[0030] The control and monitoring system includes a computer, a control unit, an image acquisition device, a stress sensor, a displacement sensor, a vibration sensor, and a tilt sensor. The control unit is connected to a water nozzle, a wind power device, a refrigeration device, and a wave generation system. The computer is connected to the control unit, the image acquisition device, the stress sensor, the displacement sensor, the vibration sensor, and the tilt sensor via signals. The image acquisition device is arranged in the water body and relative to the potential piping development zone. The stress sensor is installed at the bottom of the transmission tower, the displacement sensor is installed on the upper surface of the transmission tower foundation, the vibration sensor is installed on the side surface of the transmission tower foundation, and the tilt sensor is installed at the corner of the transmission tower foundation.

[0031] The specific steps in step three of the control and monitoring system for recording the instability values ​​of the transmission tower foundation under rainfall load, wind load, and icing load are as follows: The stress of the transmission tower is recorded using stress sensors. The maximum settlement value Δ1 of the transmission tower foundation is recorded using a displacement sensor; the maximum vibration frequency f1 and maximum vibration amplitude A1 of the transmission tower foundation are recorded using a vibration sensor; and the maximum tilt angle θ1 of the transmission tower foundation is recorded using a tilt sensor.

[0032] Data recorded by stress sensors, displacement sensors, vibration sensors, and tilt sensors are transmitted to a computer. The computer then analyzes the impact of different intensities of rainfall loads, wind loads, and icing loads on the stress of the transmission tower, as well as the foundation settlement, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, and tilt of the transmission tower.

[0033] The specific steps for the control and monitoring system to monitor and record data in step four are as follows:

[0034] By adjusting different wave heights and frequencies through the control unit, the image acquisition device is activated to monitor and record the amount of sand produced in the potential development zone of piping under wave load. The computer analysis then reveals the impact of wave loads of different intensities on the amount of sand produced per unit time in the potential development zone of piping.

[0035] The control unit keeps the wave load generated by the wave generation system constant, records the change curve of sand output over time under the same intensity wave load, records the change curve of settlement value of transmission tower foundation over time under the same intensity wave load through displacement sensor, and records the change curve of inclination of transmission tower foundation over time through tilt sensor.

[0036] Establish the relationship curves between sand discharge volume and settlement and tilt of transmission tower foundation, and analyze the influence of the development of potential piping development zone on settlement and tilt of transmission tower foundation.

[0037] In step five, the specific steps for the control and monitoring system to record and make judgments are as follows:

[0038] The maximum settlement value Δ2 of the transmission tower foundation 6 is recorded using a displacement sensor; the maximum vibration frequency f2 and maximum vibration amplitude A2 of the transmission tower foundation are recorded using a vibration sensor; the maximum tilt angle θ2 of the transmission tower foundation is recorded using a tilt sensor. Based on the settlement value, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, and tilt angle recorded in steps three and five, the dominant instability failure mode of the transmission tower foundation is determined.

[0039] when When the value exceeds 0.7, it is determined to be an instability failure dominated by extreme loads. When the value is less than 0.3, it is determined to be wave-load-dominated instability failure. When the value is between 0.3 and 0.7, it is determined to be an instability failure dominated by extreme load coupled with wave load;

[0040] in , , , These are the weighting coefficients, and + + + =1;

[0041] Before the end of the test, if Δ2 / 10cm < θ2 / 0.01, the transmission tower foundation is considered to be in an overturning and unstable failure mode; otherwise, it is considered to be in a sliding and unstable failure mode.

Simultaneously, the intensity of wind load, rain load, icing load, and wave load is adjusted by a control unit to observe and analyze the impact of different loads on the transmission tower foundation. By comprehensively considering four indicators—settlement, vibration frequency, vibration amplitude, and tilt—different dominant instability failure modes of the transmission tower foundation are determined, thereby revealing the dominant causes of instability and facilitating subsequent design and prevention of transmission tower foundation instability. Therefore, the present invention exhibits high experimental accuracy and good simulation results.

Wind direction is adjusted by setting up telescopic rods, and unidirectional wind and cyclone simulations are achieved by setting up two sets of fans. Rotating the shaft drives the push plates to rotate on the shaft, and the rotation of multiple push plates simulates the effect of waves. Therefore, the present invention has high test accuracy and good simulation effect.

[0046] 4. In the present invention, a test device and method for the instability of transmission tower foundations located near rivers under extreme loads is used. Three model boxes are employed to obtain different data through comparative experiments. The values ​​of wind load, rain load, icing load, and wave load under extreme conditions are recorded in the third model box. This allows for the determination of the dominant instability failure mode of the transmission tower foundation and the identification of its instability failure pattern. This information is then used in subsequent construction engineering design to identify the causes of foundation instability and to implement corresponding protective and reinforcing structures, thereby improving the stability of the transmission tower foundation. Therefore, this invention has high reliability and good simulation results. Attached Figure Description

[0071] Step 1: Set up three model boxes 1. Based on the hydrological and geological survey data of the Linjiang area, obtain the surface elevation, soil physical parameters, and relative height data between the river surface and the land surface.
