Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic asphalt concrete testing, in particular to an asphalt concrete triaxial creep instrument. Background Art

[0002] Creep is a reflection of the performance of materials under long-term load and dimensional stability. Asphalt concrete, as a typical viscoelastic material, has very obvious creep characteristics. Asphalt concrete is widely used in water conservancy projects due to its advantages such as good anti-seepage performance, strong deformation adaptability, good anti-aging performance, certain crack self-healing ability and corrosion resistance, such as dam body (earth-rock dam, masonry dam, etc.) anti-seepage, channel anti-seepage, underground engineering anti-seepage, pumped storage power station regulating reservoir and water supply pool anti-seepage, permeable dam water filtration structure, earth-rock dam slope protection, river embankment (bank), seaport breakwater and other waterproof and water-stopping materials. Hydraulic asphalt concrete anti-seepage engineering, especially the asphalt core wall of earth-rock dam buried in the dam body, is in a triaxial stress state for a long time, which directly affects the force form and internal stress of the asphalt concrete core wall, and will also produce large creep. Therefore, the study of the triaxial creep characteristics of asphalt concrete is of great significance for its normal anti-seepage function.

[0003] At present, the commonly used asphalt concrete creep test equipment is mainly based on geotechnical test methods. The geotechnical creep test cycle is relatively short, and the loading is mostly controlled by air pressure or servo motor. The volume change is measured by drainage method. Compared with geotechnical tests, the triaxial creep test of hydraulic asphalt concrete has a longer cycle, even up to 3 to 6 months. Power outages are not allowed during the creep test. The confining pressure uses air pressure for a long time, which is costly and unstable. The volume change is very small. The overflow method measures the volume change due to the accuracy of the measuring cylinder, which affects the volume change results.

[0004] For example, patent publication number CN201464298U is specifically a triaxial creep tester for unsaturated soil, which involves geotechnical testing instruments. A clay plate with a high air intake value is embedded in the base of the pressure chamber, so that water in the soil sample can pass through while the applied gas cannot pass through, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling matrix suction and draining water. The upper part of the clay plate is a sample with a rubber membrane, and the upper part of the sample is a permeable plate and a sample cap. The sample cap is connected to a set of pipes that can control air pressure, so as to apply and control pore air pressure to the sample. The bottom of the clay plate is connected to a flushing pipe and a drainage pipe, respectively, to flush the bubbles at the bottom of the clay plate and drain water. The sample pressure chamber adopts a double-layer pressure chamber, which is a double-layer organic glass cylinder. The inner pressure chamber is filled with airless water to apply confining pressure to the sample. The outer pressure chamber applies air pressure of the same confining pressure value to eliminate the influence of the deformation of the inner pressure chamber on the volume change value, which has the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] For example, patent publication number CN206787927U is specifically a triaxial creep tester for urban domestic garbage soil, which includes a garbage soil sample pressurization system, a steam generation system and a temperature display system. The garbage soil sample pressurization system includes a force adder and a pressure chamber. A rubber membrane filled with garbage soil samples is provided in the pressure chamber. The top and bottom ends of the rubber membrane are respectively fixed on the sample cap and the base, and the top of the sample cap is connected to the force adder; the rubber membrane is divided into a sample chamber and a temperature monitoring chamber from top to bottom, the sample chamber is filled with a first part of garbage soil samples, the temperature monitoring chamber is filled with a second part of garbage soil samples, and a first temperature sensor is provided inside the second part of the garbage soil sample; a steam space is formed between the rubber membrane and the inner wall of the pressure chamber, and a second temperature sensor is provided in the steam space. The utility model can truly reflect the high heterogeneity, large void ratio and high compressibility of garbage soil, use steam as a medium to apply confining pressure to the sample, and can simulate the influence of different temperatures on the creep of garbage soil. However, the above-mentioned problems exist. Summary of the invention

[0043] The axial loading lever includes a steel base, on which a loading lever 11 is installed. An axial force weight 5 and an adjustment weight 12 are installed at both ends of the loading lever 11 respectively. One end of the loading lever 11 close to the adjustment weight 12 is rotatably connected to a support frame.

The axial force weight 5 can be used to drive the loading lever 11 to sag, and the adjustment weight 12 can be used to correct the balance of the loading lever 11.

[0044] The oil pressure balancing system includes an oil pressure pump 4 and a pressure gauge 6. The pressure gauge 6 is set as a digital oil pressure gauge, which can be easily read. The oil pressure pump 4 is connected to the pressure chamber 1, and the pressure chamber 1 is connected to the loading lever 11, so that the oil pressure pump 4 can lift the pressure chamber 1, so that the pressure chamber 1 can drive the loading lever 11 to rotate and balance. The oil pressure pump 4 and the pressure gauge 6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the bottom of the pressure chamber 1, and the oil pressure pump 4 and the pressure gauge 6 are both connected to the bottom of the pressure chamber 1, so that the pressure gauge 6 can be used to detect the oil pressure of the oil pressure pump 4. When the tilt angle is too large, it will affect the test data. At this time, the oil pressure pump 4 is used to lift the entire pressure chamber 1 until the loading lever 11 is horizontal.

[0045] The confining pressure system includes a water pump 8, which is a manual pressure pump, which is convenient for the staff to operate.

The confining pressure control accuracy is high.

[0047] Example 1 See also Figure 1-7 , use this device to carry out creep test under constant confining pressure and graded loading axial pressure: (1) Adjust the temperature in the thermostatic room to keep it at 11.4°C, with a deviation of no more than 1°C. (2) Put the test piece on the rubber film specially used for triaxial test, and then install it into the pressure chamber 1. Seal the periphery with grease, close the pressure chamber 1, and use the water pump 8 to inject the pre-prepared water into the pressure chamber 1, and prepare to start the test; (3) First, apply the preset confining pressure control weight 3 to the instrument, use the water pump 8 to inject water pressure to make it reach the preset confining pressure, stabilize the pressure for half an hour, then apply the preset axial force weight 5, use the micrometer 2, record the axial and volume readings at regular intervals, and manually control the water output to collect the volume change of the system during the test. Since the deformation of asphalt concrete has the characteristics of fast development in the early stage and slow development in the later stage, when recording the deformation, the interval time in the early stage of loading is shorter and the interval time in the later stage is longer. On the first day, read the time at 1 min, 2 min, 4 min, 6 min, 8 min, 10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 30 min, 1 h, 3 h, 4 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, 10 h, and 24 h, and read 1 to 2 times a day thereafter; (4) Plot the axial strain The relationship curve with time t, when the specimen deformation tends to be stable, or when the axial strain On the single logarithmic coordinate curve of time t, There is no longer a growth trend, so the next level of axial stress can be loaded. After each deformation tends to be stable, step 4 can be repeated until the corresponding stable modulus parameters are obtained.

[0048] Draw the relationship curve between axial strain ε and time t, and the experimental result is curve.

[0049] It can be seen from the actual creep curve that the axial strain will increase instantaneously when each level of axial stress is loaded, and each level takes a long time to reach a stable state. The instantaneous axial strain increases in proportion to the stress level. The confining pressure has a great influence on the axial deformation. Comparing the creep curves of three different confining pressures, under the total deviatoric stress of 0.65MPa, the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 0.5MPa is 6%, the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 1.0MPa is 5.2%, and the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 1.5MPa is 5%. This shows that when the same deviatoric stress is loaded, the greater the confining pressure, the smaller the corresponding axial deformation; When the same deviatoric stress is loaded in stages under the same confining pressure, the graded strains of the asphalt concrete core samples are roughly the same, so the corresponding stability modulus can be obtained.

[0050] Example 2 See also Figure 8-11 , use this device to carry out creep test under constant axial pressure and graded unloading confining pressure: (1) Adjust the temperature in the thermostatic room to keep it at 11.4°C, with a deviation of no more than 1°C.

[0051] (2) Put the test piece on a rubber film specially used for triaxial testing, then install it into the pressure chamber 1, seal the periphery with grease, close the pressure chamber 1, and use the water pump 8 to inject the pre-prepared water into the pressure chamber 1, and prepare to start the test.

[0052] (3) The specific method is to use the water pump 8 to inject water pressure to reach a certain confining pressure, stabilize the pressure for half an hour, then apply the preset axial pressure, install the micrometer 2, and record the axial and volume readings at regular intervals.

[0053] (4) Maintain the set axial stress Constant, add a certain amount of water each time, when the deformation of the specimen tends to be stable, or when the axial strain On the single logarithmic coordinate curve of time t, There is no longer a trend of growth, so the preset confining pressure can be unloaded. The specific steps are to release the corresponding amount of water from the confining pressure measurement system to achieve the purpose of controlling the confining pressure. After each deformation tends to be stable, the step can be repeated until the deformation reaches a certain value, then the test can be stopped and the axial strain can be drawn. The relationship curve with time t.

[0054] When the axial stress is constant at 1.44 MPa, each time the confining pressure is unloaded, it is equivalent to superimposing a stress on the original axial stress, thus causing the axial strain to increase instantaneously. This is similar to the stress-strain curve of axial stress loaded in stages under constant confining pressure. As the confining pressure decreases, the axial strain gradually increases (compression).

[0055] Example 3 See also Figure 12-15 , use this device to carry out creep test with fixed stress ratio and simultaneous loading of axial pressure and confining pressure: (1) Adjust the temperature in the thermostatic room to keep it at 11.4°C, with a deviation of no more than 1°C.

[0056] (2) Put the test piece on a rubber film specially used for triaxial testing, then install it into the pressure chamber 1, seal the periphery with grease, close the pressure chamber 1, and use the water pump 8 to inject the pre-prepared water into the pressure chamber 1, and prepare to start the test.

[0057] (3) Different from other embodiments, the loaded confining pressure and the loaded axial pressure are in a certain ratio, that is, a fixed stress ratio. First, a certain amount of water is injected, and then the confining pressure is gradually applied to increase the confining pressure in the instrument to a corresponding value. Then, the axial pressure is applied and controlled by the hydraulic pump 4 to achieve the purpose of lever balance. The specific method is to use the water pump 8 to inject water pressure to reach a certain confining pressure, stabilize the pressure for half an hour, and then apply the preset axial pressure. Install the micrometer 2, and record the axial and volume readings at regular intervals. In the test, the water output is manually controlled to collect the volume change of the system. Since the deformation of asphalt concrete has the characteristics of fast development in the early stage and slow development in the later stage, when recording the deformation, the interval time in the early stage of loading is shorter, and the interval time in the later stage is longer. The readings are more frequent on the first day, and 1 to 2 readings are taken every day thereafter.

[0058] (4) Plot the axial strain The relationship curve with time t, when the specimen deformation tends to be stable, or when the axial strain On the single logarithmic coordinate curve of time t, There is no longer a growth trend, so the preset confining pressure can be unloaded. The specific steps are to release the corresponding amount of water from the volume measurement system to achieve the purpose of controlling the confining pressure. After each deformation tends to be stable, the step can be repeated until the corresponding modulus parameters are obtained.

[0059] It can be seen from the stress-strain curve that the axial strain will increase instantaneously every time a fixed stress ratio is loaded, and the total strain of single-stage loading increases proportionally. Compared with the actual creep curves of the axial pressure test with constant confining pressure and the confining pressure test with constant confining pressure and graded unloading, the actual creep curve of fixed stress can be seen from the single logarithmic time-strain curve of graded loading. The curve intervals are uniform. As the axial pressure and confining pressure increase at the same time, the axial strain increases proportionally. When the same confining pressure is loaded, the axial strain with a large stress ratio is significantly greater than the axial strain with a small stress ratio, and there is no obvious difference.

[0060] The following conclusions are drawn from the above examples: (1) Different temperatures and different mix ratios have a great influence on the performance of asphalt concrete. From the creep tests under three different stress loading paths, it can be seen that compared with the rock compression creep, the triaxial single-stage compression creep of asphalt concrete takes longer to stabilize. Each level of loading or unloading will increase the strain. The change is faster at the beginning, then tends to be stable, and finally reaches a stable value.

[0061] (2) For the axial compression creep test with constant confining pressure and graded loading, by comparing the creep curves of three different confining pressures, under the total deviatoric stress of 0.65 MPa, the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 0.5 MPa is 6%, the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 1.0 MPa is 5.2%, and the axial strain of the creep test with a confining pressure of 1.5 MPa is 5%. This shows that when the same deviatoric stress is loaded, the greater the confining pressure, the smaller the corresponding axial deformation.

[0062] (3) In the creep test of constant axial pressure and graded unloading of confining pressure, the unloading amount of confining pressure at each stage is small and the stabilization time is also short. Like the graded unloading of axial pressure under constant confining pressure, each unloading of confining pressure is equivalent to superimposing a stress on the original axial stress, and the axial strain increases instantaneously.

[0063] (4) The creep test with fixed stress ratio and simultaneous loading of axial pressure and confining pressure is similar to the actual creep curves obtained by the other two loading methods. At each level of loading, the axial strain increases instantaneously and then gradually stabilizes. When the same confining pressure is applied, the axial strain with a large stress ratio is significantly greater than the axial strain with a small stress ratio.
