[0002] As an important part of the city's lifeline, the safe and stable operation of underground pipeline systems is crucial to social and economic development and the quality of life of the people. However, under the action of additional loads, the soil in the soft soil foundation is very likely to produce uneven settlement, threatening the safe operation of the pipeline; when the buried pipeline passes through the traffic network, the soil settlement and deformation will be further aggravated under the action of traffic loads, causing the pipeline to deform and be damaged.

[0041] The settlement simulation component includes a settlement box 5 and a jack 8. The settlement box 5 is arranged below the soft soil sample in the model trough, and the jack 8 is arranged below the model trough. A plurality of openings are arranged at the bottom of the model trough. The jack 8 is supported against the settlement box 5 through the bottom openings. The height of the jack 8 is adjusted to control the lifting and lowering of the settlement box 5, so as to realize the uneven settlement of the soft soil sample 12.

[0042] The model groove includes an angle steel bracket 9 and a plurality of highly transparent acrylic plates 7, wherein the plurality of highly transparent acrylic plates 7 are installed at the upper end of the angle steel bracket 9 to form a model groove for accommodating the test device. The highly transparent acrylic plates 7 are used to assemble the model groove, so that the settlement state inside the model groove can be observed conveniently. The model groove is assembled at the upper end of the angle steel bracket 9 so that there is enough space below the model groove to place the jack 8 according to the settlement depth of the test.

[0043] An opening is provided on one side of the model slot near the electro-hydraulic servo high-cycle electric cylinder 3, and the electro-hydraulic servo high-cycle electric cylinder 3 is provided with a hydraulic actuator 10, and the hydraulic actuator 10 passes through the model slot opening and is connected to the vehicle model 1.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, according to the above-mentioned pipeline dynamic response simulation device based on vehicle load coupled with uneven foundation settlement, the present invention also provides a test method for the pipeline dynamic response simulation device based on vehicle load coupled with uneven foundation settlement, and the steps are as follows:

[0047] S1, prepare for the experiment

[0048] First, use bolts to connect the horizontal and vertical angle steels 9 into a frame, and splice the highly transparent acrylic plate 7 with the frame; after placing the settlement box 5 at the bottom of the model tank, prepare the soft soil sample 12 as needed, place it in the model tank, and fill it to the required height; then excavate to the required depth in the filled soft soil sample 12, bury the pipeline model 6 and the data monitoring component, and then backfill and compact the soil sample;

[0049] S2, cyclic loading simulation

[0050] Start the electro-hydraulic servo high cycle tester 3 and adjust the frequency required for the test. The hydraulic actuator 10 will drive the vehicle model 1 at the set frequency and speed. The pressure caused by the vehicle model 1 is controlled by the weight 11. The soil at the specified position above the pipeline is reciprocated and the number of cycles is controlled by the console 2 so that the vehicle load acts on the pipeline model 6.

[0051] S3, sedimentation simulation

[0052] Connect the jack 8 to the power supply and place it directly under the settlement box 5. First, use the remote control to lift the jack 8 to the height of the bottom plate of the settlement box 5, and then lower the jack 8 according to the set settlement depth and settlement times. The settlement box 5 follows the jack 8 to settle to achieve uneven settlement. The side plate of the settlement box 5 can prevent the soil sample from scattering and affecting the actual settlement distance.

[0053] S4, data monitoring

[0054] The soil pressure box 4 is respectively set in the soft soil sample 12 at the upper and lower ends and the side of the pipeline model 6 to monitor and collect soil pressure data around the pipeline model 6. The strain gauges are evenly distributed inside the pipeline model 6. The strain gauges collect the axial and annular stress and strain of the pipeline when the pipeline model 6 is subjected to cyclic loads under the action of internal pressure. The data monitoring component is wirelessly connected to the external dynamic and static acquisition instrument. The dynamic and static acquisition instrument and the calculation software are used to determine the soil pressure changes around the pipeline and the stress and strain characteristics of the pipeline under the action of uneven settlement.

[0055] S5, end of test

[0056] The electro-hydraulic servo high cycle test cylinder 3 is unloaded and shut down after unloading; after the uneven settlement ends, the power supply of the jack 8 is turned off; the data monitoring device is turned off, the test is ended, and data processing and related research are carried out.

[0057] After adopting the above technical scheme, the simulation device can simulate the dynamic response problem of the pipeline under the action of vehicle load coupled with uneven settlement.
