Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of slurry shield model testing, and in particular relates to a double-chamber slurry shield excavation testing device and method under simulated hypergravity. Background Art

[0002] Slurry shields, a common method for constructing river and sea tunnels, use pressurized slurry to penetrate the ground, forming a mud film in front of the excavation face. The slurry pressure acts on the film in the form of a surface force, balancing the lateral water and soil pressure in front of the excavation face and maintaining its stability. The support pressure of a double-compartment slurry shield is dominated by gas pressure and is not subject to significant fluctuations due to factors such as changes in slurry density. Therefore, compared with a single-compartment slurry shield, the support pressure of a double-compartment slurry shield is easier to control during excavation.

[0003] Currently, most excavation tests for slurry shields are conducted under normal gravity. However, since tests under normal gravity cannot reproduce the true stress levels of the strata and the actual size of the shield, the simulated excavation process and excavation face instability patterns cannot be confirmed to conform to actual working conditions. Geotechnical centrifuge physical simulation, as an effective means of reproducing the stress levels of large-scale media under normal gravity in small-scale media, addresses the problem of stress field dissimilarity. The generated hypergravity environment can reproduce the actual soil stress levels and water pressure outside the slurry chamber, as well as the gradient distribution of slurry pressure within the slurry chamber, providing the possibility of simulating the actual slurry shield excavation process and excavation face instability patterns. However, since the slurry is composed of two substances with different densities, bentonite and water, increasing the gravity field strength through a hypergravity centrifuge intensifies the relative driving force between the two substances, thereby accelerating phase separation between the two substances, resulting in uneven slurry density and failing to simulate actual slurry permeability patterns and mud film formation patterns. Excessive gravity can exacerbate the sedimentation and pipe clogging of shield excavation debris, making it difficult to control slurry flow and accurately control slurry pressure. Therefore, addressing these issues, recreating the excavation process of a slurry shield, and understanding the support pressure control mechanism of a double-compartment slurry shield are pressing challenges in research involving complex strata with deep burial depths and high water pressure.

[0009] The slurry inlet and discharge system includes a mud water tank, a mud pump, a slag box, a separation box and a screw conveying device; the mud pump is connected to the output end of the mud water tank, the mud pump is communicated with the mud water tank through a first slurry inlet pipe, and the mud pump is communicated with the air cushion tank through a second slurry inlet pipe, the first slurry inlet pipe and the second slurry inlet pipe are respectively provided with a first electromagnetic ball valve and a second electromagnetic ball valve, one end of the first overflow pipe passes through the air cushion tank and the opening on the front bulkhead and extends into the mud water tank, the other end of the first overflow pipe is connected to the atmosphere, one end of the second overflow pipe extends into the air cushion tank, the other end of the second overflow pipe is connected to the atmosphere, a third electromagnetic ball valve and a fourth electromagnetic ball valve are respectively provided on the first overflow pipe and the second overflow pipe, a bypass pipe is also provided between the mud water tank and the mud pump, one end of the bypass pipe is connected to the mud water tank, and the other end is communicated with the mud pump, the first slurry inlet pipe and the second slurry inlet pipe respectively, and a bypass ball valve is provided on the bypass pipe;

[0010] One end of the screw conveying equipment extends into the mud and water tank, and the other end is connected to the slag box through a pipe.

[0015] Three layers of filters with different apertures are arranged inside the separation box. The axial direction of the filter is perpendicular to the mud flow direction.

The apertures of the three layers of filter screens decrease in sequence from the inlet to the outlet of the separation box. The aperture of the third layer of filter screen is smaller than the maximum particle size that can pass through the second electromagnetic flowmeter.

[0016] The relationship between the slurry pressure and soil-water pressure at the shield excavation surface satisfies the following expression:

[0017] P g +ρ s g(h-D+z)≥γ w (H+z)+K a γ'(H+z)

[0018] P g +ρ s g(h-D+z)≤γ w (H+z)+K p γ'(H+z)

[0019] Where, P g is the gas pressure; ρ s is the slurry density; g is the acceleration of gravity; h is the liquid level of the air cushion cabin; D is the diameter of the shield; z is the vertical coordinate of the excavation surface; γ w is the density of water; H is the depth of shield top; γ' is the effective density of soil; K a is the active earth pressure coefficient; K p is the passive earth pressure coefficient.

[0020] The thrust F provided by the shield power system dAnd torque T is obtained according to the following formula:

[0021]

[0022] Where F1 is the frontal thrust resistance during shield tunneling; F2 is the friction between the shield shell and the surrounding soil; K is the lateral earth pressure coefficient; γ is the density of the soil; f is the friction coefficient between the shield shell and the surrounding soil; L is the length of the shield machine; W is the weight of the shield machine per unit length; T1 is the friction torque between the cutterhead and the soil; T2 is the formation resistance torque when the cutterhead cuts the soil; η is the cutterhead opening ratio; P0 is the mud pressure in the mud water tank; and p is the penetration rate.

[0026] The pressure maintaining system includes an air inlet pipe, an exhaust pipe, a pressure transmitter, an exhaust valve and an air inlet valve; an air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the front partition, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the mud and water tank after passing through the air inlet, and the other end of the air inlet pipe is connected to the air outlet of the geotechnical centrifuge, one end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the mud and water tank after passing through the exhaust port, and the other end of the exhaust pipe is connected to the atmosphere; an air inlet valve and an exhaust valve are respectively provided on the air inlet pipe and the exhaust pipe, the pressure transmitter is connected to the front partition, and the air inlet valve, the exhaust valve and the pressure transmitter are all connected to the control system.

[0027] 2. A double-compartment slurry shield tunneling test method simulating hypergravity comprises the following steps:

[0028] Step 1: Prepare slurry with a preset ratio of bentonite and water, inject the slurry into the mud-water tank, remove the soil tank from the base plate, prepare soil samples in layers in the soil tank, and bury earth pressure sensors in the soil samples;

[0029] Step 2: Use the saturation box to saturate the soil sample in the soil box. When the soil sample is saturated, hoist the soil box as a whole into the geotechnical centrifuge and push the shield into the soil box hole;

[0030] Step 3: Turn on the mud pump to fill the mud and water tank with mud, so that the mud reaches 2 / 3 of the liquid level of the air cushion tank. When mud seeps out of the first overflow pipe and the second overflow pipe, close the third and fourth electromagnetic ball valves and stop the slurry feeding.

[0031] Step 4: Start the geotechnical centrifuge and gradually increase the centrifugal acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge to the preset Ng. When the geotechnical centrifuge reaches the target Ng value, control the air inlet valve of the pressure maintaining system to intake air and open the sixth solenoid valve to control the liquid level of the air cushion chamber to be maintained at 2 / 3 of the height;

[0032] Step 5: Control the shield to advance forward. After the shield has advanced stably for a preset period of time, use the shield power system to control the shield to stop advancing. Control the pressure-maintaining system to adjust the gas pressure in the air cushion cabin. At the same time, observe the damage to the contact surface between the shield and the soil sample to simulate the actual working conditions when the slurry shield excavation face undergoes active and passive damage, thereby obtaining the stability law of the slurry shield excavation face.

[0033] The technical solution principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] For prototype soil sample: σ=ρgh'

[0035] For the 1 / N scale model: σ1=ρ·g·h' / N

[0036] For a 1 / N-fold scale model under N-fold hypergravity: σ2=ρ·Ng·h' / N=ρg h'

[0037] Wherein, σ represents the stress of the prototype soil sample, ρ represents the natural density of the soil, g represents the acceleration of gravity, h' represents the depth of the formation, σ1 represents the stress of the 1 / N times scaled model, σ2 represents the stress of the 1 / N times scaled model under N times hypergravity, and N represents the ratio of the centrifugal acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge to the acceleration of gravity.

[0038] It is easy to see that σ=σ2, that is, the stress level of the prototype soil sample is equal to that of the 1 / N times scaled model under N times hypergravity, that is, the stress field of the prototype can be replicated under hypergravity, thereby greatly improving the similarity of the slurry shield tunneling test.

[0039] The shield body and slurry inlet and discharge system of the present invention are fixed by a bottom plate and placed on a geotechnical centrifuge. A supergravity field is created by centrifugal rotation to restore the real shield excavation process. A variety of pipeline installation interfaces are set on the front partition to realize functions such as slurry inlet and discharge, pressure transmission and monitoring equipment connection. Considering that the mud circulates in the pipeline during the g-lift process, the cutter head is connected to a ring-shaped stirring rod, and a blade-type stirring rod is designed in the mud water tank to avoid separation and precipitation of the mud under supergravity. A separation box is set on the slurry discharge pipeline, intending to retain large particles in the separation box under supergravity to avoid particles clogging the electromagnetic flowmeter and pipeline. After the g value stabilizes, the stratum soil samples in the excavation box are excavated by controlling the slurry shield tunneling. During the process, the monitoring data of the sensors are collected in real time to simulate the dynamic cutting process of the mud film and the soil disturbance during the actual shield tunneling process. After the shield body has steadily advanced forward for a preset period of time, in order to simulate the working condition of instability of the shield excavation face, the shield power system is used to control the shield body to stop excavation, and the pressure maintaining system is used to adjust the gas pressure. Through the pressure transmission method, the mud pressure is accurately controlled, and then the ultimate support pressure and the excavation face stability law are obtained.

[0040] The slurry shield's working chamber is divided by a front bulkhead into an air cushion chamber and a slurry chamber. This means that the excavation face support pressure is divided into gas pressure and the pressure generated by the slurry's own weight. The gas pressure is regulated by a pressure-maintaining system, while the slurry's own weight pressure is regulated by the slurry inlet and outlet flow rates. This invention utilizes the hypergravity environment created by a geotechnical centrifuge. Based on similar scale relationships, the shield can be restored to the true scale of the slurry shield, with the stress level of the formation and the slurry gradient pressure restored to their true conditions. This allows the slurry shield to reproduce the working conditions of actual engineering excavation.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0042] 1. The present invention has a high degree of mechanization and restoration, and can simulate the actual shield cutter head cutting and forward excavation actions and accurately control the mud pressure and mud inlet and outlet flow in the mud and water chamber.

[0043] 2. Using an N-fold hypergravity environment to conduct 1 / N-fold slurry shield tunneling excavation and excavation face stability tests greatly improved the similarity of the model test.

[0044] 3. The present invention avoids the influence of hypergravity effect on mud segregation and sedimentation by designing different types of stirring rods on the cutter head and in the mud water tank and designing a method for circulating mud in the pipeline during the g-lift process.

[0045] 4. This invention designs a separation box and damping for the slurry discharge pipeline. By designing a combination of different damping devices, the slurry discharge pressure in the pipeline is regulated, thereby controlling the slurry discharge flow rate. The separation box is designed to filter large particles to prevent large particles from clogging the electromagnetic flowmeter and pipeline. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Slurry output by screw conveyor 9 flows into separation box 8 from its input end, is filtered sequentially through the three layers of filter screens, and then flows out of separation box 8. The pore sizes of the three layers of filter screens 801 decrease from the inlet to the outlet of separation box 8. The pore size of the third layer of filter screen 801 (i.e., the filter screen 801 with the smallest pore size) is smaller than the maximum particle size that can pass through second electromagnetic flowmeter 23. The height of the input / output end of separation box 8 is consistent with the height of screw conveyor 9.

[0072] To ensure the stability of the excavation face in front of the cutterhead and prevent active and passive damage, the gas pressure adjusted by the pressure-maintaining system should be such that the relationship between the mud pressure and soil-water pressure at any vertical position z on the excavation face satisfies the following equation.

[0073] The relationship between the mud pressure and soil-water pressure at the excavation surface of shield 2 satisfies the following expression:

[0074] P g +ρ s g(h-D+z)≥γ w (H+z)+K a γ'(H+z)

[0075] P g +ρ s g(h-D+z)≤γ w (H+z)+K p γ'(H+z)

[0076] Where, P g is the gas pressure; ρ s is the slurry density; g is the acceleration of gravity; h is the liquid level of the air cushion cabin; D is the diameter of the shield; z is the vertical coordinate of the excavation surface; γ w is the density of water; H is the depth of shield top; γ' is the effective density of soil; K a is the active earth pressure coefficient; K p is the passive earth pressure coefficient.

[0077] By γ w +K a γ'-ρ s g>0、γ w +K p γ'-ρ s g>0, we know that:

[0078] (γ w +K a γ')(H+D)-ρ s gh≤P g ≤(γ w +Kp γ')H+ρ s g(Dh)

[0079] The thrust F provided by the hydraulic cylinder 22 in the shield power system d The torque T provided by the drive motor 6 is obtained by the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Where, F d is the thrust provided by the shield power system; F1 is the front propulsion resistance during shield excavation; F2 is the friction between the shield shell and the surrounding soil; K is the lateral earth pressure coefficient; γ is the weight of the soil; f is the friction coefficient between the shield shell and the surrounding soil; L is the length of the shield machine; W is the weight of the shield machine per unit length; T is the torque provided by the shield power system; T1 is the friction torque between the front and side of the cutterhead and the soil; T2 is the formation resistance torque when the cutterhead cuts the soil; η is the cutterhead opening rate; P0 is the mud pressure in the mud water tank; p is the penetration rate.

The height of the cutterhead 11 is greater than or equal to the penetration of the cutterhead 11. Since the foundation soil actually cut by the shield is a continuous medium, the cutterhead penetration is considered to be a certain multiple of the average particle size d of the foundation soil. 50 , such as 20d 50 , 30d 50 or 40d 50 .

[0085] like Figure 8 As shown, a stirring rod 111 is fixedly connected to the side of the cutterhead 11 near the mud and water chamber 12. There are two types of stirring rod arrangements: one is flat and mounted on the panel of the cutterhead 11, and the other is hook-shaped and arranged circumferentially along the main shaft 15. The stirring rod is driven by the rotation of the main shaft 15. Considering that the shield tunneling parameters under high gravity and normal gravity have a similar scale relationship, the expression for the speed of the cutterhead 11 under high gravity is as follows:

[0086]

[0087] Where λ(n) is the ratio of the cutterhead speed under hypergravity to the cutterhead speed under normal gravity; λ(v) is the ratio of the tunneling speed under hypergravity to the tunneling speed under normal gravity; λ(s) is the ratio of the tunneling distance under hypergravity to the tunneling distance under normal gravity; and λ(t) is the ratio of the test time under hypergravity to the tunneling time under normal gravity.

[0092] The embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0093] Preliminary preparation: Determine the shield parameters, including shield diameter, shield burial depth, excavation speed, and cutterhead speed. Based on the shield diameter, shield burial depth, and foundation soil and water pressure, determine the target Ng value that the geotechnical centrifuge 25 needs to provide, and then determine the gas pressure of the air cushion cabin 14. Based on the ratio of the volume of slag cut by the cutterhead 11 per unit time to the slurry flow rate of 1:11.7, the slurry flow rate is determined in combination with the excavation speed. Based on the conservation relationship of inlet and outlet mass, determine the slurry discharge flow rate. Calculate the slurry discharge flow rate based on the mud pressure in the mud and water tank 12, compare the calculated value with the preset value, and determine the damping 41.

[0094] Step 1: Prepare slurry with a preset ratio of bentonite and water, and inject the slurry into the mud and water tank 3 of the slurry inlet and outlet system. Remove the soil box 1 from the bottom plate 10, seal the opening of the soil box side wall with a thin aluminum plate 27, and then prepare soil samples in layers in the soil box 1 and bury the earth pressure sensor in the soil sample.

[0095] In the specific implementation, bending element sensors, micro soil pressure gauges, micro pore pressure sensors and TDR sensors are also buried in the soil sample, and a wire brush is used to polish the top of the foundation soil to a thickness of 2 mm.

[0096] Step 2: Use a saturation box to saturate the soil sample in the soil box 1. When the soil sample is saturated, hoist the soil box 20 as a whole into the geotechnical centrifuge 25, and push the shield 2 into the hole of the soil box 1. The cutter head 11 is pressed against the thin aluminum plate 27, and the slurry discharge pipe is closed.

[0097] Specifically, the soil box 1 is placed in the saturation box, and the airless water in the saturation box is pumped into the soil box 1 by vacuuming. After the airless water is extracted, the soil box 1 is re-fixed on the base plate 10, the counterweight block 252 is hoisted into the first hanging basket 251, and the base plate 10 is hoisted into the second hanging basket 253.

[0098] Step 3: Turn on the mud pump 7 and fill the mud and water tank 12 with mud through the mud inlet pipes 17 and 18 until the mud reaches 2 / 3 of the liquid level of the air cushion tank 14. When mud seeps out of the first overflow pipe 28 and the second overflow pipe 29 of the mud inlet and discharge system, close the third electromagnetic ball valve 31 and the fourth electromagnetic ball valve 33 and stop the mud inlet. At this time, the mud pressure in the shield body 2 is 0-2.5kPa.

[0099] Install the mud tank 38 and the third slurry inlet pipe 39, open the fifth electromagnetic ball valve 34 on the third slurry inlet pipe 39, control the height and liquid level of the mud tank 38 so that the pressure in the mud and water tank 12 is slightly higher than the lateral water and soil pressure of the soil sample in the soil box 1, lift the thin aluminum plate 27 to allow the pressurized mud in the mud and water tank 14 to penetrate the soil layer, close the fifth electromagnetic ball valve 34 when a mud film is formed, and remove the mud tank 38 and the third slurry inlet pipe 39;

[0100] Step 4: Start the geotechnical centrifuge 25 and gradually increase the centrifugal acceleration of the geotechnical centrifuge 25 to the preset Ng. During the centrifugal acceleration increase process, close all the electromagnetic ball valves (the first electromagnetic ball valve 32, the second electromagnetic ball valve 35, the third electromagnetic ball valve 31, the fourth electromagnetic ball valve 33, and the sixth electromagnetic valve 37) to keep the mud filled in the mud and water tank 12 and the air cushion tank 14. The mud pressure in the mud and water tank 12 increases continuously with the increase of the acceleration Ng value; during the centrifugal acceleration increase process, the cutter head 11 idles to prevent the mud in the mud and water tank 12 from segregating and settling. At the same time, the stirring rod 302 in the mud water tank 3 continues to stir to prevent the mud in the mud water tank 3 from segregating and settling. The mud pump 7 and the bypass ball valve 36 are opened to allow the mud to circulate in the pipeline connected to the mud water tank 3 to prevent segregation and sedimentation in the pipeline. When the geotechnical centrifuge 25 reaches the target Ng value, the air inlet valve 203 of the pressure maintaining system 20 is controlled to intake air and the sixth solenoid valve 37 is opened to control the liquid level of the air cushion cabin 14 to be maintained at 2 / 3 of the height of the air cushion cabin 14. The damping 41 is set according to the change in the liquid level height of the air cushion cabin 14 and the theoretical value of the mud pressure.

[0101] Step 5: Control the shield body 2 to advance forward. After the shield body 2 has advanced stably for a preset period of time, use the shield power system to control the shield body 2 to stop advancing, close all valves on the pipeline, and control the pressure maintaining system 20 to control the gas pressure in the air cushion cabin 14. At the same time, observe the damage of the contact surface between the shield body 2 and the soil sample to simulate the working conditions when the slurry shield excavation surface undergoes active and passive damage under real working conditions, and then obtain the stability law of the slurry shield excavation surface.
