Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel model loading, in particular to a cuff-shaped tunnel model loading test device and a test method. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] In earth tunnels where the high groundwater level changes greatly with the seasons, the tunnel structure will inevitably be subjected to repeated effects of the surrounding variable pressure during service, resulting in fatigue effects. At the same time, the changes in temperature and humidity caused by the change of seasons will cause cracks and deformations in the tunnel lining structure. Therefore, it is extremely important to study the fatigue failure of tunnel structures under such hydrogeological conditions. Compared with other research methods, model tests have the characteristics of repeatability and flexibility. They can intuitively and in real time monitor the changes in mechanical parameters of tunnel structures when they are subjected to different loads. At the same time, the simulation of materials and complex working conditions based on similarity theory is closer to reality, making it the preferred solution for studying the characteristics of tunnel structures.

[0004] For earth tunnels with high groundwater levels, the tunnels are subjected to the dynamic effects of overburden pressure, lateral water pressure and lower buoyancy, which causes different parts of the tunnel structure to be subjected to loads that change irregularly over time and space. Therefore, in order to reveal the temporal and spatial variation of the stress on the tunnel structure in the soil layer under high groundwater levels, accurately simulating the complex load characteristics of the tunnel during operation is the key to accurately predicting its service life. At present, research is being conducted on loading devices for tunnel models: Chinese invention patent with publication number CN118533523A discloses a radial confining pressure loading device for circular arc tunnel lining, which uses a pressurizing component to be installed around the tunnel lining along the axial direction, and applies radial pressure to the tunnel lining through a distribution beam, but there are still spacing bands between the components, which cannot achieve uniform surface-to-surface contact loading, so that the local loading force is different from that of other parts and the stress state of different parts cannot be simulated; Chinese invention patent with publication number CN118566005A discloses an airbag tunnel model test loading device, which uses an airbag loading method to apply the generated force vertically and horizontally to the soil through the top plate and the side plate, but the uneven or loose contact between the airbag and the pressure plate may cause excessive or too small local pressure, and the boundary of the test soil box may produce a boundary effect on the model test, and it is still impossible to achieve direct loading of the tunnel structure, affecting the accuracy of the test results. At the same time, it is difficult for the existing technology to accurately simulate the dynamic loading of the water pressure. It can be seen that there are still deficiencies in the application of pressure loading around the tunnel model structure.

[0005] In addition, because the pressure on the top, bottom and sides of existing tunnels may be different in actual working conditions, the existing loading device cannot apply different loads to the top, sides and bottom of the tunnel respectively. If the same load is applied to all of them, it cannot effectively conform to reality and affects the accuracy of the test results. Summary of the invention

[0034] In this embodiment, the cuff body 2 is made of a high-strength, wear-resistant and flexible material, and can fit tightly on the outer surface of the tunnel model 1. Four airbags are arranged inside the cuff body 2, and a pressure chamber is formed inside the airbags; anti-slip grooves are arranged on the inner surface of the cuff body 2 to increase the friction between the cuff body 2 and the tunnel model 1 to prevent the cuff body 2 from sliding relative to the tunnel model 1 during loading; a wear-resistant coating is arranged on the outer surface of the cuff body 2 to extend the service life.

[0038] In this embodiment, four airbags are specifically arranged in the cuff body 2 so that the pressure chambers are respectively placed at the top, bottom and both sides of the tunnel model 1, and pressure sensors 5 are respectively arranged on the outside of each airbag.

[0039] Considering the elastic properties of the cuff body 2, elastic deformation will occur when pressurized, so the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio are introduced to correct the pressure formula. It is assumed that the deformation of the airbag conforms to Hooke's law, the deformation of the airbag under pressure is uniform, and the nonlinear characteristics of the material are not considered.

[0040] Considering the deformation of the airbag, the pressure will generate stress inside the airbag According to Hooke's law,

[0041] And strain and volume deformation and the original volume The relationship is as follows:

[0042] Since the volume change caused by pressure change will affect the pressure transmission, the corrected pressure for

[0043] For an isotropic elastic material, in a three-dimensional stress state, the generalized Hooke's law has the following general form:

Assuming that the arch bottom of the tunnel model is arc-shaped, the radius of the tunnel model is r, and the groundwater level is at 1 / 2 of the arch bottom of the tunnel model, the volume of the water displaced is πr 2 .

The air delivery pipe 12 extending out of the model box 25 is connected to each channel of the multi-channel pressure controller 15 to deliver air pressure to each pressure chamber, the pressure sensor 5 is connected to the multi-channel pressure controller 15 to monitor the pressure of each pressure chamber in real time, the multi-channel pressure controller 15 is connected to the air compressor 16, the stress sensor 22 is connected to the data acquisition instrument 23 to monitor the change of stress of the tunnel model during the loading process in real time, and the exhaust pipe 14 is connected to the atmosphere to allow the cuff body 2 to be naturally exhausted under atmospheric pressure conditions; After the cuff loading unit is assembled, it is debugged and calibrated to check whether the multi-channel pressure controller 15, the air compressor 16 and the gas transmission components are working properly to ensure that the loading device can accurately apply the load. Before formal loading, a pre-load test is carried out to check the stability of the loading device and the tunnel model. The pre-loaded load is generally 10% - 20% of the formal load, and the loading time is 5-10 minutes; Place the laser light source 18 and the high-speed camera 19 in front of the front plate 28 in the model box, adjust the position and angle of the laser light source 18 so that the light illuminates the spread fluorescent tracer particles 17, adjust the position and angle of the high-speed camera 19 so that it can clearly capture the area illuminated by the laser light source, connect the laser light source 18 with the high-speed camera 19 and the synchronous controller 20 to accurately control the pulse emission time of the laser light source 18 and the exposure time of the camera, ensure that the high-speed camera 19 can capture the moment when the particles are illuminated by the laser, and record the displacement curve and deformation photos of the tunnel model 1 during the loading process; According to the test plan, the parameters of the multi-channel pressure controller are set, the air compressor 16 and the pressure regulating valve 4 are turned on, and the load of the cuff loading unit is gradually increased until the predetermined loading value is reached, and the air compressor 16 and the pressure regulating valve 4 are turned off. During the loading process, the stress sensor 22 obtains the stress change of the tunnel model 1, and the high-speed camera 19 takes pictures of the displacement change of the fluorescent tracer particles, so as to know the deformation of the tunnel model 1, and the computer records the loading time, load size, stress change and other data; The computer has built-in interface program and Abaqus numerical simulation software. The program can read the stress and displacement data collected by the stress sensor and displacement monitoring component in the model test, and parse and convert them into a data packet in a form compatible with the Abaqus numerical simulation software. The Abaqus numerical simulation software is opened to establish a finite element model corresponding to the model loading test, and the analyzed stress data is applied to the corresponding area of ​​the tunnel model 1 as the initial stress state. The displacement data is applied to the corresponding nodes of the finite element model to simulate the deformation, and relevant parameters are set for calculation.

[0065] The stress and displacement data obtained from the numerical simulation are compared and analyzed with the measured data in the model test, the difference between the two is calculated, and the corresponding error is obtained.

[0066] The error is within 10%, which shows that the model established by Abaqus software can well reflect the actual model test situation, accurately simulate the changes of physical quantities such as stress, strain, pore pressure in the actual test, and directly replace the relevant data package to carry out numerical simulation test; If the error is outside 10%, the computer automatically calculates the required pressure adjustment amount based on the comparison results, and controls the pressure controller to adjust the pressure regulating valve of each pressure chamber to achieve dynamic adjustment of the loading pressure in the model test. After adjustment, the above steps are repeated until the error between the simulation results and the test results is within an acceptable range.

[0067] After the test, the pressure control valve 7 of each chamber is controlled by the multi-channel pressure controller 15 to gradually reduce the load of the cuff loading unit until the load is zero. The unloading process should be slow and smooth to avoid secondary damage to the tunnel model. According to the above installation steps, all components are removed, and the tunnel model 1 is inspected and evaluated, and the damage and deformation degree of the tunnel model 1 are recorded. If the tunnel model 1 needs to be preserved, it can be properly packaged and stored. Finally, the cuff loading unit is cleaned and maintained, and the debris and dirt on the device are removed. The wear of each component is checked, and if necessary, it is replaced or repaired.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
