Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of rock mechanics test, in particular to a large-size fractured rock test piece preparation device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rock mechanics parameters are important parameters for stability analysis and design of rock engineering such as rock slope engineering and rock tunnel engineering. Rock mechanics parameters are mainly obtained through indoor rock mechanics test and field rock mechanics test. When carrying out field rock mechanics test, different types of rock mechanics test equipment must be transported to the field, and space is also needed for installation and debugging, so the cost of field rock mechanics test is high. In order to control the test cost, simple projects that do not require large test equipment are carried out on site, and complex projects that require large test equipment are carried out in the laboratory.

[0003] When carrying out indoor rock mechanics test, rock samples need to be transported from the field to the laboratory. For complete rock, it can be directly transported to the laboratory after simple treatment on site, and the rock test piece is not easy to damage. In recent years, in order to truly reflect the properties of rock, the size of rock samples has increased from a few centimeters to tens of centimeters, and even to meters. Therefore, large-size rock samples will contain a certain number of structural planes or fractures (referred to as fragile rock) that intersect each other. The external force generated during handling and transportation will damage the internal structure of the rock, and the test results will deviate seriously from the true value. More seriously, some fractured rock samples cannot be made into rock test pieces required by the test, so indoor rock mechanics test cannot be effectively carried out. This is also the difficulty and blank of domestic indoor rock mechanics test for fractured rock.

[0004] At present, in order to obtain the mechanical parameters of fractured rock, test researchers estimate the mechanical parameters of complete rock according to experience. Due to the complexity of the structure of fractured rock, the artificially estimated value often deviates greatly from the actual situation, and the estimated value is too small, which leaves a safety hazard to the project. This is also the main reason why some rock engineering projects still have engineering accidents despite reinforcement treatment. If the estimated value is too large, it will increase the cost of rock engineering treatment.

[0005] At present, rock mechanics test generally includes rock tensile strength test, compressive strength test, shear strength test and compression strength test under different water content. The various mechanical tests can be carried out smoothly, which mainly depends on whether the rock test piece can be successfully made. According to the international and domestic rock test regulations, it is clearly required that the rock sample should be representative, the surface of the test piece should be smooth, and there should be no obvious cracks and defects. When samples of different specifications and shapes are made, the rock test piece should be made by the consistent method and tool as far as possible, and the cutting, polishing and processing operations are carried out according to the test requirements, so as to ensure that the internal structure of the rock test piece is not affected. For small size complete rock, the rock test piece can easily meet the above requirements, but for large size fractured rock, if not properly treated, on-site sampling, transportation and indoor processing, the internal structure of the rock will be seriously damaged, which will lead to serious deviation of the test results from the true value, and more seriously, the sample cannot be successfully made, which will lead to the test cannot be carried out smoothly.

[0006] In view of the difficulties encountered in the rock mechanics test of large size fractured rock, the key problem to be solved is to effectively make the fractured rock test piece under the condition that the internal state of the fractured rock is not damaged, and the test results of the successfully made fractured rock test piece are less affected and can reflect the mechanical properties of the fractured rock itself.

[0041] In order to make the cement mortar layer 4 have low strength and good permeability after forming, the mixing ratio obtained through experiments is as follows: the water-cement ratio is 0.6:1, and the consistency is about 70mm.

[0042] The embodiment of the application also provides a preparation method of an indoor large-size fissure rock test piece, which is prepared by using the device.

[0043] Step 1: field investigation is carried out on site, the position of the fissure rock sample is determined, and the position is marked, and the mark should be clear.

[0044] Step 2: the fissure rock sample 1 is manually chiseled at the specified position, and the sample size is measured.

[0045] Step 3: the free alloy plate in the cuboid mold 3 is removed, the free alloy plate is placed on the flat ground, the fissure rock sample 1 is stably placed on the free alloy plate by using the cuboid plastic net 2, the other parts of the cuboid mold 3 are sleeved, one end of the free alloy plate with the small hole is connected to one end of the square alloy plate, the lock buckle is buckled, the cuboid mold 3 is turned over with the open face without the alloy plate upward, the positions of the cuboid plastic net 2 and the fissure rock sample 1 are adjusted, and the fissure rock sample 1 is centrally placed in the cuboid mold 3.

[0046] Step 4: Mix the cement paste according to the mixing ratio and consistency, stir uniformly, open the small holes on the free alloy plate, slowly pour the mixed cement paste into the gap between the fractured rock sample 1 and the cuboid mold 3, and oscillate and stir to form a pure cement paste test piece in a conventional concrete pouring manner.

[0047] Step 5: After the age reaches 7 days, the composite structure composed of the fractured rock sample 1, the plastic net 2 and the cement paste layer 4 is taken out of the cuboid mold 3 and transported back to the indoor laboratory.

[0048] Step 6: Without any processing and polishing, the transported composite structure is cured according to the requirements of the test method, and indoor rock mechanics tests can be carried out.

[0054] The contents not described in detail in the specification belong to the prior art known by the person skilled in the art.

[0055] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this, any change or replacement easily thought of by the person skilled in the art within the technical range disclosed by the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
