Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of prestressed structural engineering, and in particular to an FRP prestressed tensioning device and method for scaled model testing. Background Art

[0002] Fiber reinforced composite materials (FRP for short) have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. Therefore, as a new type of material, they are widely used in structural reinforcement, bridge construction and other fields. Prestressed tensioned FRP can effectively reduce the deadweight and inertial load of the structure, improve the overall performance and seismic performance of the structure, and provide a reliable guarantee for the safe operation of the structure. In addition, FRP materials have excellent prestress retention performance. Even under long-term stress, they can maintain a stable prestress level, are not prone to relaxation and creep, and ensure the long-term stability of the structure.

[0003] Commonly used devices for FRP prestressing include tensioning machines, prestressing anchors and prestressing systems. Tensioning machines are key equipment for applying prestress, usually driven by a hydraulic system, and can apply the tension required for FRP. Prestressing anchors are used to fix the prestressed FRP material, and their design requires that they can effectively transfer prestress to the structure. The prestressing system is used to control the process of prestressing, including monitoring and adjusting the tensioning force to ensure stable application of prestress.

[0004] In the field of structural engineering, scaled model tests are a common method for evaluating the performance of structures under different loading conditions. For scaled model tests of complex structures, it is usually necessary to simulate the prestressing in real structures to accurately evaluate their behavior in actual engineering. However, there are some limitations to traditional prestressing devices. First, traditional devices are usually designed for prestressing of large structures, and their size and operation methods may not be suitable for scaled model tests. This leads to problems such as inconvenient operation and excessive space occupation when using traditional devices in scaled tests, which limits the flexibility and operability of the experiment. Secondly, the application range of traditional prestressing devices may not be flexible enough to meet the needs of scaled model tests. Since the structural size and load in scaled tests are relatively small, the force requirements for prestressing may be different from those for prestressing of traditional large structures. Therefore, traditional devices may not be able to accurately control the amount of prestress applied, affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test. In addition, the high cost of traditional devices, including equipment purchase, maintenance and operation costs, may increase the economic cost of the test and limit its widespread use in scientific research and engineering applications.

[0005] However, there is currently a lack of dedicated FRP prestressed tensioning devices and methods for scaled model tests. Existing FRP prestressed tensioning devices are usually used for structural reinforcement in actual engineering projects, such as the invention patent with announcement number CN110485748B, which discloses an anchoring structure and anchoring method for a carbon fiber plate. Although multiple fixing clamps are connected in series to anchor the carbon fiber plate, which can share the tension on the carbon fiber plate, it fails to meet the scaled model test's demand for precise control of the prestressed tensioning force. Therefore, a FRP prestressed tensioning device and method dedicated to scaled model tests are developed to meet the special needs of the experiment and improve the accuracy, efficiency and reliability of the experiment.

[0006] Therefore, some people are currently applying for the following application to solve the above problems; Technical comparison with patent CN212693484U "A long-term load-holding test device for FRP tendon pulling specimens based on spring principle" Patent CN212693484U, with the help of spring principle, designed a long-term load-holding test device for FRP tendon pulling specimens, which is mainly used to study the bonding performance of the FRP tendon and the internal interface of concrete. We prestress the FRP plate or cloth at the bottom of the concrete to achieve a stable and safe prestressed tensioning state.

[0007] Patent CN212693484U uses an oil pump with an annular pressure sensor to determine the loading level. The S-shaped tension pressure sensor we use has threaded holes at both ends of the sensor that match the tension rod, which can monitor the loading status in real time with an accuracy level of C2 or C3.

[0008] Technical comparison with patent CN104264998B "Self-anchored prestressing machine for quantitative control of FRP" In patent CN104264998B, a jack is used to apply reaction force to prestress FRP. In addition to using a through-type jack, our design can also use a simpler manual torque method.

[0009] Patent CN104264998B uses a self-anchoring method with a locking function for prestressing. We use a ground anchoring method fixed on the ground or supporting structure for prestressing, which is more reliable.

[0010] Technical comparison with patent CN107700867A "A flexible FRP sheet prestressing device and method" Patent CN107700867A uses the dual effects of end winding and corrugated clamping to prevent the flexible FRP sheet from sliding in the clamp. We use roughening of the contact surface, which can be wedge-shaped or tooth-shaped in addition to corrugated clamping, and can adopt a more flexible clamping form according to the loading level and FRP form.

[0011] Patent CN107700867A solves a relatively ideal horizontal prestressed FRP tensioning method. In order to solve the rotation problem that may occur during the actual tensioning process, we use an easily removable limiter to ensure that the FRP can be tensioned horizontally.

The upper and lower steel plates correspond to two rows of circular holes respectively, and the number of circular holes in each row is 2 to 4, which reduces the overall failure risk caused by single point failure.

[0032] It should be further pointed out that the contact surfaces of the upper and lower steel plates of the integrated fixture 2 are roughened and may be wedge-shaped, corrugated or tooth-shaped.

[0033] It should be further pointed out that the limiter 3 can be an angle steel or a channel steel, and the side plate connected to the fixed reaction frame has two circular holes.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, a FRP prestressing method for scale model test includes the following process steps, specifically: (a) FRP fixing: FRP 7 passes through the upper and lower steel plates of the integrated fixture 2, and the ordinary bolts 6 of the integrated fixture 2 are tightened; (b) Centering: Tighten the ordinary bolts 6 of the limiter 3 to ensure that the reaction frame 1, the integrated fixture 2, the force sensor 5 and the screw 4 are horizontally aligned; (c) Force sensor debugging: Connect the force sensor 5 and the data acquisition system, set and adjust the data acquisition parameters; (d) Prestressing: Use a wrench to turn the nut of the screw 4 or a through-hole jack to drive the screw 4, and apply stress by graded tensioning, which is 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, and 103% of the designed tensioning stress in turn, stabilize for 2 to 3 minutes, observe the force value change of the data acquisition system, and judge whether FRP 7 slips. If slip occurs, slowly unload it, remove the ordinary bolts 6 of the integrated fixture 2, and repeat the operation according to steps (a) to (d); (e) Fixing of FRP tensioning end: Install the FRP7 tensioning end anchor. The installation process is symmetrical. There is no looseness or misalignment after installation. (f) FRP holding and screw unloading: FRP7 is loaded to the design requirement. During this period, the force value change of the data acquisition system is observed. If there is no abnormality, the nut in contact with the fixed reaction frame 1 is slowly unloaded.
