Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of rock and soil performance testing, and in particular relates to an in-situ testing device and method for soil shear strength. Background Art

[0002] In geotechnical engineering technology, the shear strength index of soil, cohesion and internal friction angle are important mechanical properties and important parameters for engineering design calculations. Usually, indoor shear tests and in-situ shear tests are used to measure the shear strength index of soil. Indoor shear tests require on-site sampling, sample preparation and other processes, which greatly disturb the soil. Various factors will cause a large discrepancy between the test results and the actual results. In-situ shear tests are carried out in situ on the soil, and the soil maintains its natural moisture content and natural stress state, making the test results true and reliable.

[0003] For example, the invention patent with publication number CN104458445B discloses an in-situ soil in-hole shear test device and test method, which includes a shear cylinder, a shear knife, an air bag, etc. The intersection angle between the shear knife outside the shear cylinder and the shear cylinder is 45°. The air bag expands, driving the shear cylinder to expand, so that the shear knife is inserted into the borehole wall. The consolidation test is maintained for a certain period of time, and finally the shear operation is carried out. The test device is lifted by a lifting device. During the soil shearing process, relevant detection instruments are observed and the shear force readings are recorded until the soil is sheared and damaged, and the test ends.

[0004] In the prior art, since the shear cutter and the hole wall are arranged at an angle, and the airbag expands almost horizontally to drive the shear cutter to insert into the hole wall, there is a large friction between the inclined shear cutter and the soil. The shear cutter will further squeeze the soil layer during the process of inserting into the soil, resulting in deformation of the hole wall or the shear cutter. Secondly, the shear cutter is driven by the airbag, so the depth of insertion of the shear cutter into the hole wall is limited. In addition, the airbag driving method will cause the shear cutters to be unable to be inserted into the soil uniformly, which ultimately affects the consolidation degree of the shear cutter and the soil, thereby reducing the accuracy of the drilling shear test.

In this way, the gas source can be distributed to the airbag 10 at the upper end and to the second gas source distributor 32 at the lower end through the first gas source distributor 95, and then distributed again by the second gas source distributor 32 to distribute the gas source to the airbag 10 and the cylinder at the lower end. In this structure, the air pipe is integrated in the outer tube, and the internal pipeline is effectively protected. For example, some control lines of the control gas source distributor can be arranged in the outer tube 1.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 13 as well as Figure 16 to Figure 19As shown, the top cover 9 is evenly distributed with a number of seventh connection holes 91 on its circumference. The top cover 9 is arranged on the upper part of the first gland 51, and the seventh connection holes 91 are aligned with the fourth connection holes 54. Screws are inserted to connect the top cover 9, the first gland 51 and the outer cylinder 1 as a whole.

Then the screw is screwed in to fix the shearing cylinder 7 and the outer cylinder 1. This structure can greatly reduce the occupied area of ​​the shearing cylinder 7. The installation and fixation of the shearing cylinder 7 are achieved through the arc-shaped connection cover 71. For the shearing cylinder 7 that is set obliquely, the protruding area of ​​the shearing cylinder 7 can be greatly reduced, ensuring that the outermost side of the shearing cylinder 7 is located within the outer diameter of the airbag 10, and ensuring that the shearing cylinder 7 will not rub against the wall of the drilled hole during the lowering or lifting process (such as Figure 3 as shown).

In this way, the shearing knife 82 can be partially received in the receiving groove 74, and the shearing knife 82 is slidably limited against the inner wall of the receiving groove 74 to prevent the shearing knife 82 from rotating. In this way, the length of the shearing knife 82 can be guaranteed, and after the shearing knife 82 is received, it is ensured that the shearing knife 82 will not rub against the hole wall of the drilled hole during the lowering or lifting of the shearing cylinder 7 (such as Figure 3 as shown).

The connecting groove 17 is located directly above the mounting hole 16, and a connecting cover 71 is provided in the connecting groove 17. The shearing cylinder 7 is limited in the mounting hole 16. At the same time, the retaining edge 19 is located directly below the mounting hole 16, and the bottom side of the shearing cylinder 7 is supported on the retaining edge 19. This connection and limiting structure can ensure that the shearing cylinder 7 is stably connected under the premise of reducing space occupation.

[0074] Example 2

[0075] A drilling shear test method comprises the following steps:

[0076] (1) Drilling: Use a drilling rig to drill to the test depth and keep the hole wall smooth.

[0077] (2) Assemble the in-situ test device for soil shear strength: On the ground, first install the inner cylinder 6 so that the inner cylinder 6 is set on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 6 can slide relative to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1; connect the drive rod 84 to the bottom end of the first piston 8 in advance, and then install the shear cylinder 7 and the shear knife 82 on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 1. After the shear cylinder 7 is installed, the drive rod 84 is set in the cavity between the outer cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 6, and then one end of the drive rod 84 is hinged to the inner cylinder 6. When the drive rod 84 and the inner cylinder 6 are hinged, a person's hand reaches into the inner cylinder 6 and operates through the operation slot 67. Then connect the cylinder to the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1, so that the outer wall of the cylinder body 2 is close to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 6, and the inner cylinder 6 achieves sliding limit; then connect the guide cylinder 5 and the connecting disk 41, so that the slider 43 of the connecting disk 41 slides and fits on the slide groove 52 of the guide cylinder 5, and rotate the guide cylinder 5 and the connecting disk 41 synchronously, so that the connecting rod 4 at the bottom of the connecting disk 41 and the second piston rod 3 are threadedly connected; finally, install the top cover 9.

[0078] (3) Lowering equipment: Use lifting equipment to lower the assembled soil shear strength in-situ test device to the test depth.

[0079] (4) Consolidation: Ventilation is performed to expand the airbag 10, so that the entire soil shear strength in-situ test device is fixed on the hole wall. Then ventilation is performed to drive the cylinder, which controls the inner tube 6 to rise, thereby driving the drive rod 84 to move, thereby linking the shear knife 82 to extend upward and insert into the borehole wall, and maintaining the consolidation test for a fixed time (such as 15, 20, or 30 minutes).

[0080] (5) Shearing: After the consolidation process is completed, the assembled soil shear strength in-situ test device is lifted up using a lifting device. The shear knife 82 will shear the soil outside the borehole wall and record the shear force in real time until the soil is sheared and destroyed. The test is completed.

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.
