Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of structural engineering tests, and in particular to a test device for three-dimensional initial stress distribution state of a steel tube concrete arch rib. Background Art

[0002] Concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) is a special type of sleeved concrete with advantages such as high strength, high stiffness, good plasticity, and easy construction. It has been increasingly used in long-span bridges and urban high-rise buildings. However, in both building and bridge construction, CFST construction typically begins with the installation of empty steel tubes, which are then used as formwork for pouring concrete. Therefore, before the concrete and steel tubes form a composite structure, the empty tubes, due to their own weight and the wet weight of unstrengthened concrete, will form initial stresses within the cross-section. Furthermore, during segmental concrete pouring, the initial concrete, after gaining strength, will shrink and creep, affecting the stresses in the tubes. Furthermore, the deadweight of the tubes and the wet weight of concrete in the next segment will also exert forces on the previous segment. These findings indicate that initial stresses in CFST are inevitable during construction. The presence of these initial stresses can prematurely induce the yield phase of the tubes, thereby affecting the mechanical properties of CFST structures and ultimately leading to a decrease in the bearing capacity of the specimens, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] In existing test devices, the simulation of the initial stress of steel tube concrete construction cannot reflect the initial stress state under real conditions. Most tests use screws to apply loads to the specimens in the vertical direction to simulate the initial stress, but this only simulates the axial initial stress. In fact, the steel tube concrete structures in actual projects are not all vertical structures. For the arch ribs of steel tube concrete arch bridges, the inclination angle of each segment is different. Pouring concrete in this state will cause stress in the steel pipe in the axial, radial and circumferential directions. This is different from the force caused by pouring concrete vertically and applying screw loads to the steel pipe. Vertical pouring and loading cannot truly reflect the initial stress of construction. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a test device that can study the initial stress of steel tube concrete construction and truly reflect the initial stress of construction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a test device for the three-dimensional initial stress distribution state of steel tube concrete arch ribs. The angle of the test piece is changed by rotating parts, the angle is limited by a limiter, the height of the test piece is changed by controlling the telescopic distance of the telescopic rod, and the diameter of the test piece is changed by adjusting the spacing of the clamps. In this way, for test pieces of different sizes, the real initial stress of construction can be simulated by a single device, the test efficiency and economic benefits are improved, and the simulated initial stress of construction can be analyzed in three dimensions. During loading, multiple screws are used to apply load to the oblique test piece. After holding the load for a period of time, concrete is poured. Finally, the axial, radial and circumferential stress changes of the test piece at a certain angle are obtained by using an inclination sensor and a strain gauge to solve the problems existing in the prior art.
