Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rock and soil mechanics testing, and in particular to a three-way cyclic shear testing device and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a natural structure, rock slopes usually have a large number of structural surfaces, and the stability of rock slopes is largely controlled by these structural surfaces. Therefore, studying the shear characteristics of rock structural surfaces under seismic loads is an important prerequisite for dynamic stability analysis of rock slopes. In actual engineering, rock strength is crucial to engineering safety, especially in the southwestern mountainous areas of my country where strong earthquakes frequently occur. The accumulated losses of rock mass under the action of external forces such as earthquakes have become one of the important causes of rock structure instability.

[0003] As a dynamic load, earthquake has a constantly changing magnitude and direction of acceleration. For structural surfaces, earthquake loads have both dynamic characteristics and obvious cyclic properties. The shear characteristics of rock structural surfaces are affected by the amplitude and loading rate of dynamic loads on the one hand, and by the cyclic shear or cyclic loading and unloading formed by dynamic loads on the other hand. Specifically, under the action of cyclic shear loads, the roughness and undulation of the rock structural surface will suffer periodic wear and passivation, resulting in the degradation of its shear strength parameters, which in turn causes the slope rock mass to displace and slide along the structural surface, and ultimately causes the instability of the slope rock mass. The shear test device is a key device for exploring the shear mechanical properties, failure mechanism and instability sliding mechanism of rock mass. However, due to the limitations of production technology level and the understanding of rock mechanical behavior, the early shear test device was mainly used for quasi-static shear tests on rock structural surfaces under constant normal load boundary conditions. However, deep underground, the force or stress perpendicular to the shear direction is not necessarily constant. Joints may slide on asperities, resulting in expansion, thereby counteracting the normal stiffness of the surrounding rock mass. At the same time, near-field strong earthquakes have significant three-dimensional dynamic characteristics, that is, near the epicenter area, in addition to being affected by horizontal seismic forces, they are also affected by significant vertical seismic forces. Since the rock mass of underground engineering and the rock mass under anchoring conditions are both under constant normal stiffness boundary conditions, most traditional cyclic shear testers can only achieve constant normal loads, cannot consider the influence of complex confining pressure conditions, and cannot simulate three-dimensional dynamic characteristics. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a three-way cyclic shear test device and a test method thereof, which can realize a two-way cyclic shear test of a fractured rock sample under the conditions of constant normal load, dynamic normal load and constant normal stiffness, and can study the influence of the multi-directionality of seismic motion on the dynamic characteristics of rock, which is conducive to revealing the dynamic instability mechanism of the slope.

Similarly, the connection principle between the working end of the x-direction oil cylinder 2 and the lower circulation shear box is similar to that in the y direction, except that the x-direction reaction cap 14 is directly connected to the x-direction force pad 19 through a fastening bolt.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the y-direction reaction force assembly includes an x-direction anti-friction needle roller 31, a y-direction reaction force seat 31, an x-direction anti-friction ball 34 and a stopper 35. Among them, a placement groove is provided on the top of the y-direction reaction force seat 32 along the working direction of the x-direction oil cylinder 2, and a plurality of x-direction anti-friction needle rollers 31 are arranged side by side along the length direction of the placement groove for rolling at the bottom of the placement groove; a receiving groove is provided on both side walls of the placement groove along the length direction of the placement groove, and a plurality of x-direction anti-friction balls 34 are arranged in the receiving groove, and a stopper 34 for preventing the x-direction anti-friction balls 34 from escaping from the receiving groove is fixed at both ends of the receiving groove on the y-direction reaction force seat 32; the shear box base 15 is placed in the placement groove and supported on the x-direction anti-friction needle roller 31, and at the same time, the shear box base 15 is in rolling contact with the x-direction anti-friction ball 34; a mounting hole 33 is provided on the top surface of the y-direction reaction force seat 32 for fixing the shear box to prevent the shear box from tilting.

[0039] In this embodiment, the structure and working principle of the servo control system are prior art, which includes about 100 subVIs, and the main software consists of a top-level VI. The graphical interface consists of a pair of front panels and a block diagram. The front panel has a set of controls and indicators, such as buttons and pointers, as well as digital controls and indicators, and two display windows for multiple drawings. Data such as servo control speed, specified time intervals, and data acquisition rates can be entered from the keyboard. As the experiment proceeds, the shear stress-shear displacement and shear stress-normal stress curves will be updated on the graphic window of the shear main screen panel. At the end of the experiment, the selected storage parameters, such as normal stress, shear stress, and shear displacement, will be saved. Using Excel software, the shear characteristic curve can be easily obtained.

[0040] As the power source for loading, the structure and working principle of the hydraulic system are also existing technologies. The main structure consists of a box, an oil pump-motor group, a precision oil filter, a relief valve, a pressure gauge, an air filter, a transducer and pipelines. It can provide hydraulic oil of a certain pressure, and the remaining amount of hydraulic oil can be observed by observing the liquid level on the oil tank. When the motor drives the oil pump to rotate, the high-pressure oil enters the oil cylinder through the precision oil filter-relief valve-electro-hydraulic servo valve. The full digital controller controls the valve opening size and direction of the electro-hydraulic servo valve according to the instructions sent by the computer and the signal fed back by the sensor, so that the piston in the loading oil cylinder rises or falls according to the instructions of the computer, realizing the closed-loop control of axial displacement, test force or deformation, and smooth switching of the three control modes. The main function of the cooling system is to reduce the oil temperature during use to prevent the oil temperature from being too high and causing safety hazards. The cooling water cools the oil source through a plate heat exchanger, and then returns to the cooling water pool through a return pipe, which can avoid the waste of water resources.

[0041] The data acquisition system includes a controller, a data acquisition card, a test force sensor and a displacement sensor. The loading ends of the x-axis oil cylinder 2, the y-axis oil cylinder 3 and the z-axis oil cylinder 1 are all provided with a test force sensor, and the end faces of the x-axis oil cylinder 2, the y-axis oil cylinder 3 and the z-axis oil cylinder 1 are all provided with a displacement sensor. The data acquisition card, the controller, and the computer control system are electrically connected in sequence, and the test force sensor and the displacement sensor are electrically connected to the data acquisition card. In this embodiment, the maximum range of the test force sensor is ±1500kN; the displacement sensor is used to track and measure the piston displacement of the oil cylinder in real time, and the maximum range is 300mm. Data acquisition and normal stiffness setting are performed digitally using a 16-bit A / D and D / A board installed in the computer. The AD / DA / DIO board is used with Windows-NT and a faster PC processor to enable the system to scan 16 input channels and 32 output channels. The collected test data includes the normal pressure, shear force, corresponding displacement and stroke of the x-axis oil cylinder 2, the y-axis oil cylinder 3 and the z-axis oil cylinder 1. The digital control program is designed using LabVIEW programming language to build a data acquisition and instrumentation system. LabVIEW is used to quickly create interactive controls for the system, with the time interval set to 100Hz.

[0042] The structure and working principle of the computer control system are existing technologies, and it consists of three software sets: control software and standard data storage and processing system. Constant and variable normal stiffness control conditions are realized by digital closed-loop control with electrical and hydraulic servos. This is a nonlinear feedback and is measured on a PC through a multifunctional analog-to-digital conversion, digital-to-analog conversion and digital input / output (A / D, D / A and DIO) board, using the graphical programming language LabVIEW, a customized "virtual instrument" (VI) and a PID control toolkit. The normal load is changed by comparing the vertical displacement of the joint during shearing with the feedback signal, which is calculated based on the normal stiffness value kn as follows:

[0043] ΔP n =k n Δδ n

[0044] P n (t+Δt)=P n (t)+ΔP n

[0045] In the formula, ΔP n and Δδ n are the changes of normal load and vertical displacement, respectively.

[0046] When the three-way cyclic shear test device is used to perform the three-way cyclic shear test, the following steps are included:

[0047] S1. Turn on the machine and check whether all equipment and instruments are normal.

[0048] S2. Select a circulation shear box of corresponding size according to the size of the sample, place the base 15 on the y-direction reaction force assembly, place the lower part of the sample into the lower circulation shear box 21 and place the lower circulation shear box 21 on the base 15, then place the upper circulation shear box 18 on the lower circulation shear box 21, adjust the orientation of the upper circulation shear box 18 so that the upper circulation shear box 18 covers the upper part of the sample and is aligned with the sample to complete the loading.

[0049] S3: After the sample is loaded, the circulating shear box is transported to the bottom of the z-direction oil cylinder 1 by the sample conveying device, and the initial normal pressure is applied to the sample by the z-direction oil cylinder 1, and then the x-direction reaction force cap 14 and the y-direction reaction force cap 10 are respectively fastened to the lower circulating shear box 18 and the upper circulating shear box 21. In this embodiment, the normal pressure is applied to 5MPa at a rate of 1MPa / min.

[0050] S4. Turn on the servo control system and perform a three-way cyclic shear test on the sample until the sample reaches the designed number of cyclic shears. In this embodiment, when the cyclic shear force is applied to the sample, the x-axis cylinder and the y-axis cylinder simultaneously start shearing to the target distance of 4mm, then shear to -4mm in the negative direction of shearing, and finally shear to 0mm, which is a complete cycle until the set number of cyclic shears is reached.

[0051] S5. When the shear displacement of the cylinder reaches the set stroke or number of times, it automatically stops and saves the test data. The computer control system processes and analyzes the data collected by the data acquisition system.

[0052] In step S4, when the sample is subjected to a three-way cyclic shear test, three test methods are included: one is to perform a three-way cyclic shear test on the sample under a constant normal load, the second is to perform a three-way cyclic shear test on the sample under a dynamic normal load, and the third is to perform a three-way cyclic shear test on the sample under a constant normal stiffness.

[0053] When a three-way cyclic shear test is performed on a specimen under a constant normal load, a cyclic shear force is applied to the specimen through the x-axis cylinder 2 and the y-axis cylinder 3 according to the pre-input constant normal load value until the specimen reaches the designed number of cyclic shear times.

[0054] A three-way cyclic shear test was carried out on the specimen under dynamic normal load. The frequency and amplitude of the z-axis cylinder 1 were set according to the pre-input seismic wave transformation, and then cyclic shear force was applied to the specimen through the x-axis cylinder 2 and the y-axis cylinder 3 until the specimen reached the designed number of cyclic shears.
