Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the research field of triaxial creep shear test, and in particular to a method and device for a triaxial creep shear test based on 3D printing equivalent simplified testing. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of urban underground space, coupled with the typical weak stratum characteristics of coastal areas, higher requirements are placed on construction methods. Under the action of long-term static loads, the creep phenomenon of soil has a great impact on the disturbance and settlement of surrounding buildings. For example, with regard to the cement reinforcement freezing method commonly used in coastal engineering construction, after the implementation of this method, the creep of soil under the coupling of cement reinforcement and freeze-thaw action is worthy of attention. The study of macroscopic strain and microscopic mechanism of soil creep requires the application of equivalent creep load in the early stage. Therefore, selecting a convenient and efficient method to equivalent the creep process of soil is of great significance to promote the exploration of soil macroscopic creep characteristics and microscopic mechanism.

[0003] In the field of soil mechanics, the GDS fully automatic triaxial testing instrument is an advanced instrument widely used in a large number of researches. It has accurate deformation control and high test accuracy. It can collect axial force and pore pressure data in real time during the test through built-in pore pressure sensors and load sensors. It has a good effect on studying the stress-strain law of soil samples under static loads.

[0004] However, in addition to the study of the macroscopic deformation of the soil, in order to clarify the microstructure and mechanism corresponding to the macroscopic characteristics under specific working conditions, it is often necessary to use microscopic research methods, such as SEM scanning electron microscopy, NMR nuclear magnetic resonance, etc. In this case, the use of triaxial testing instruments for full-stage and refined control will bring additional costs and inconveniences, especially for creep conditions with long duration.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method that can replace traditional advanced instruments with materials that are relatively easy to implement and restore, and to perform an equivalent test method for the triaxial creep shear stress state, so as to more efficiently and conveniently complete the working condition simulation work before exploring the creep characteristics and microscopic mechanisms of soil.

[0051] Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a method for a simplified triaxial creep shear test based on 3D printing, comprising the following steps:

[0053] According to the size of the soil sample, the size of the test base, bearing top cover and shear stack ring in the unconfined structure is determined and prepared by 3D printing;

[0054] According to the actual overburden load of the soil, calculate the corresponding shear stress and the corresponding counterweight weight;

[0055] Install the soil sample on the test base, then install the load-bearing top cover and shear stack ring to complete the assembly of the unconfined shear device;

[0056] The counterweight is placed above the bearing cap to perform primary consolidation on the soil sample. After the primary consolidation of the soil sample is completed, the soil sample is loaded in stages according to the calculated counterweight, and secondary consolidation is performed on the soil sample until the counterweight is fully loaded;

[0057] Fix the micrometer on the top of the model box and place the probe of the micrometer on the top of the counterweight. Determine the deformation of the soil sample according to the reading of the micrometer and judge whether creep stability is reached;

[0058] The creep deformation of the soil sample is recorded according to the reading of the micrometer, and the strain of the soil sample is calculated; the soil sample that has completed creep is removed, and the creep microscopic mechanism of the soil sample is analyzed.

[0059] By considering the influence of factors such as overlying soil at different depths and specimens of different sizes on the triaxial creep shear test, it provides certain technical support for studying the macroscopic strain and microscopic mechanism of soil under long-term creep under various working conditions. It can also assist in judging the improvement effect of specific construction methods on soil creep characteristics, and provides certain reference value for the improvement of construction methods and creep prevention and control in underground engineering construction in coastal cities.

[0060] The specific assembly process of the unconfined structure and soil specimens includes the following steps:

[0061] Install the soil sample on the test base;

[0062] Put the latex film on the split mold downward to cover the test base to fix the soil sample on the test base;

[0063] Then install the bearing top cover on the upper end of the soil sample, and cover the bearing top cover upward with a latex film to complete the fixation of the bearing top cover and the soil sample, and remove the split mold;

[0064] Finally, the shear stack rings are put on the soil sample in sequence to complete the equipment assembly.

[0065] In a preferred embodiment, the counterweight includes a lightweight basin and a counterweight object with adjustable gravity. The lightweight basin is placed on the load-bearing top cover, and the counterweight object is then placed in the lightweight basin to consolidate and drain the soil sample until the main consolidation of the soil sample is completed.

[0066] Specifically, the specific process of secondary consolidation of soil samples includes:

[0067] After the main consolidation of the soil sample is completed, the counterweight object is taken out and the weight of the counterweight is graded according to the load corresponding to the calculated shear force;

[0068] Place a counterweight object of the first level weight in the lightweight basin, and observe the reading of the dial gauge. When the reading is stable, the creep of the soil sample is stable, and record the reading of the dial gauge.

[0069] Each time the soil sample creeps to a stable state, record the reading of the micrometer and add a counterweight object to the lightweight basin to increase the load of the soil sample to the next level;

[0070] Until the last level of counterweight objects is added, the secondary consolidation of the soil sample is completed.

[0071] Considering that the bearing capacity of the soil sample has not been confirmed, if all the weights are added to the soil sample at once, the soil sample may not be able to bear the weight and be destroyed. Therefore, the soil sample is graded and weighted in stages using a graded loading method to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and the acquisition of the final complete creep soil sample, which is convenient for the subsequent microscopic mechanism analysis of the creep soil sample.

[0072] The shear stack ring includes an upper circular ring, a middle circular ring and a lower circular ring. The upper circular ring surrounds the connection between the bearing top cover and the soil sample, the lower circular ring surrounds the connection between the soil sample and the test base, and the middle circular ring surrounds the outside of the soil sample.

[0073] Furthermore, after the soil sample completes the secondary consolidation, it is taken out from the unconfined structure and the microscopic mechanism of creep of the soil sample is qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed through scanning electron microscopy test or low-field nuclear magnetic resonance test.

[0074] In combination with the above preferred implementations, this embodiment provides a test method for simulating the creep deformation of freeze-thaw cement reinforced soil under long-term load, comprising the following steps:

[0075] S1. Design the test base according to the sample size;

[0076] S2. Design the load-bearing top cover according to the sample size;

[0077] S3. Design the shear stack according to the sample size;

[0078] S4. According to the actual engineering background, the cover layer is determined to be soft clay in the Shanghai area. The overburden load is calculated according to the soil weight and construction depth, and the corresponding shear stress and the corresponding counterweight weight are calculated. In order to prevent the one-time loading sample from being unable to withstand damage, a graded loading method is used to design graded counterweights;

[0079] S5. Debug the unconfined shear equipment. First, install the freeze-thaw cement soil sample on the test base, then cover the test base with the latex film on the split mold to fix the sample, then install the load-bearing top cover on the soil sample and fix it with the latex film, and remove the split mold. Then carefully cover the shear stack rings on the freeze-thaw cement soil sample in turn;

[0080] S6. Debug the loading equipment. First, place the counterweight device stably on the top cover to consolidate and drain the soil sample. After the main consolidation of the soil sample is completed, perform secondary consolidation and load in sequence according to the calculated graded counterweights. After each level of creep is stable, apply the next level of load until all are completed.

[0081] S7. Debug the displacement monitoring equipment, fix the dial gauge on the top of the model box, place the dial gauge probe on the top of the counterweight device, determine the deformation amount according to the dial gauge reading, and judge whether creep stability is achieved;

[0082] S8. Post-data processing and analysis: record the creep deformation of the sample by reading the thousandths, and then calculate the strain. After the creep is completed, carefully remove the device and conduct further microscopic testing and analysis on the sample.

[0083] In the existing field of soil mechanics, the study of the microscopic characteristics of soil after deformation usually adopts traditional test methods, such as direct shear test and triaxial shear test, which requires more variable control and preparation. However, for the study of microscopic mechanism, few people consider using simplified methods to complete the simulation of preliminary working conditions. The test device and method provided by this scheme can help shift the focus of work to microscopic mechanism analysis and subsequent prevention and control, effectively revealing the creep microscopic mechanism of soil under different working conditions and further research.

[0084] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a device for a simplified triaxial creep shear test based on 3D printing, which is used to implement the above-mentioned method for a simplified triaxial creep shear test based on 3D printing. The device includes an unconfined structure, a counterweight, a displacement monitoring structure and a data analysis system. The unconfined structure includes a test base 1, a load-bearing top cover 2 and a shear stack ring 3;

[0085] The test base 1 is used to place and assist in fixing the soil sample 5, the bearing cover 2 is placed on the top of the soil sample 5, the shear stack ring 3 is sleeved on the outside of the soil sample 5, and is used to limit the radial deformation of the soil sample 5. The counterweight is placed on the upper end of the bearing cover 2, and the weight is adjustable, and is used to provide the main consolidation pressure and the secondary consolidation pressure for the soil sample 5. The bearing cover 2 is used to transfer the load, the displacement monitoring structure is used to measure the deformation of the soil sample 5, and the data analysis system is used to analyze the strain of the soil sample 5 during the creep process and the microstructural changes after creep according to the detection results of the displacement monitoring structure.

[0086] Specifically, Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the unconfined structure is prepared by 3D printing, the test base 1 is a cylindrical combination structure, the bearing top cover 2 is a cylindrical structure, the shear stack ring 3 is composed of multiple stacked rings, and the ends of the test base 1 and the bearing top cover 2 that are in contact with the soil sample 5 are matched with the diameter of the soil sample 5, and the inner diameter ratio of the shear stack ring 3 is greater than the diameter of the soil sample 5.

[0087] In a preferred embodiment, the shear stack ring 3 includes an upper circular ring, a middle circular ring and a lower circular ring, the upper circular ring surrounds the connection between the bearing top cover 2 and the soil sample 5, the lower circular ring surrounds the connection between the soil sample 5 and the test base 1, and the middle circular ring surrounds the outside of the soil sample 5.

[0088] The shear stack ring 3 is designed according to the actual soil sample size through three-dimensional drawing software and is composed of dense circular rings. The upper and lower circular rings are wider and can wrap the connection between the soil sample 5 and the test base 1 and the bearing top cover 2 to prevent the sample from lateral displacement. The middle circular ring is designed to be denser to limit the radial expansion of the sample and avoid lateral limitation.

[0089] Among them, the counterweight includes a lightweight storage basin and a counterweight object with adjustable gravity. The lightweight storage basin is fixed to the upper end of the load-bearing top cover 2. There are multiple counterweight objects, and the mass of each counterweight object is the same, which is used to adjust the weight of the counterweight.

[0090] In combination with the above preferred implementation, this embodiment provides a test device, based on the above simplified design method of the equivalent triaxial creep shear test based on 3D printing technology, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, including:

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, the test base is made by 3D printing. The strength of the 3D printing material used is sufficient to bear the weight. The cylinder in the upper part of the base is consistent with the diameter of the cylindrical specimen and is used to place and assist in fixing the test soil.

[0092] like Figure 4 As shown, the bearing top cover 2 is the same size as the cylindrical body of the upper half of the test base, and the latex membrane 4 is put on it to assist in fixing the test soil and to play a role in transmitting force;

[0093] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shear stack ring 3 is designed by 3D printing according to the actual soil sample size and is composed of dense circular rings. The bottom and top circular rings are wider to prevent the sample from lateral displacement; the middle circular ring is designed to be denser to limit the radial expansion of the sample, but does not produce lateral limitation;

[0094] The loading device is used to simulate the actual soil overburden weight at a certain depth, including the primary consolidation pressure and the secondary consolidation pressure. A lightweight plastic basin is selected to hold a stable weight to be used for equivalent soil overburden pressure. After completing the first level of loading, a second level of weight is placed in the plastic basin to complete all loading in sequence.

[0095] The displacement detection equipment is used to monitor whether each level of creep deformation is stable. The micrometer is fixed on the adjacent iron structure. After ensuring stability, the probe is adjusted downward to touch the top of the loading device to measure the deformation of the lower structure.

[0096] The data analysis system includes data processing and image processing software, etc. It calculates the strain during the creep process through the micrometer readings, and further removes the freeze-thaw cement soil samples that have completed creep to conduct scanning electron microscopy tests, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance tests, etc., to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the microscopic mechanism of freeze-thaw cement soil creep.

[0097] The device has a simple overall structure, low cost, good repeatability and is easy to replace the test site. By using this device, the test can be completed quickly and conveniently. In addition, the unconfined shear device in this device can be flexibly designed and adjusted according to the size of the sample, effectively avoiding the high cost and difficulty of replacing parts in traditional advanced instruments.
