Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of ground fissure and land subsidence simulation test, and particularly relates to a ground fissure and land subsidence test device and method for simulating multi-layer groundwater level changes. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the fields of geology and environmental science, studying the impact of groundwater activity on the stability of geological structures, especially the mechanism of ground fissure and land subsidence caused by groundwater, has always been the focus of scientists. However, there is still a lack of a comprehensive and accurate simulation test system platform to simulate and analyze ground fissure and land subsidence phenomena under multi-layer groundwater conditions. The complexity of multi-layer groundwater systems, including the distribution of different aquifers, the difference in permeability, and the dynamic changes of water flow, all pose challenges to simulation tests.

[0003] Although some experimental devices have been proposed, such as the ground fissure test device and method for simulating fault movement and groundwater changes disclosed in patent application CN110954680A, the test device mainly uses a water tank as a water injection system, utilizes the gravitational potential energy of water, and controls the water injection process of the test model tank through a water supply valve. However, this water injection method and related structural design are relatively simple and do not fully consider the uneven permeability characteristics of water in complex geological structures.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, all other embodiments obtained without creative labor on the basis of these embodiments also belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a kind of ground fissure and ground subsidence test device for simulating multilayer groundwater level change, including box 1, fixed platform 2 and liftable platform 3 are arranged in box 1, fixed platform 2 and liftable platform 3 are separated into two parts space, the space on the upper surface of fixed platform 2 and liftable platform 3 is used to lay test soil layer 4;Test soil layer 4 is buried with several water pipe groups 5 along the height direction, a main opening and several water holes are opened in each water pipe group 5, the main opening of each water pipe group 5 is connected with water supply pipe 6, each water supply pipe 6 is connected to water supply assembly 7, each water supply pipe 6 is branched and connected with drain pipe 8, each drain pipe 8 is connected to pumping equipment 9, first valve 10 is provided between water supply assembly 7 and drain pipe 8 on each water supply pipe 6, second valve 11 is provided on each drain pipe 8.

[0032] Specifically, the box 1 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material to ensure durability during long-term testing. The box 1 is made of transparent material for easy observation. The size of the box 1 is designed according to the needs of the simulation test to accommodate enough test soil layer 4 and allow enough space for observation and measurement. The fixed platform 2 is located near the bottom of the box 1 and is a non-movable structure for supporting the test soil layer 4 and the seepage pipe group 5. The surface of the fixed platform 2 is flat to ensure uniform laying of the test soil layer 4. The liftable platform 3 is installed near the bottom of the box 1 by a mechanical lifting mechanism and can be adjusted in height according to the test requirements to simulate the process of ground fissure generation. It should be noted that the height of the liftable platform 3 is not higher than the height of the fixed platform 2. The test soil layer 4 is mixed according to the geological structure characteristics of the research area using different types of soil materials (such as sand, clay, etc.) in a certain proportion to simulate the real geological layer. The test soil layer 4 is layered on the fixed platform 2 and the liftable platform 3. Each seepage pipe group 5 is composed of multiple slender seepage pipes connected in parallel, and each pipe is uniformly distributed with seepage holes for simulating the seepage process of groundwater in the soil. The main opening of the seepage pipe group 5 is connected to the water supply assembly 7 through the water supply pipe 6 to realize water quantity control. It should be noted that the arrangement of the seepage pipe group 5 in the test soil layer 4 should consider the distribution and permeability difference of the water-bearing layer in the actual geological structure to achieve a more realistic simulation effect. The water supply assembly 7 is composed of a water pump and a control system, which can adjust the water supply quantity and rate according to the test requirements. The water supply assembly 7 is connected to the main opening of each seepage pipe group 5 through the water supply pipe 6 to ensure that the water flow can be uniformly distributed to different depths and positions of the test soil layer 4. The first valve 10 provided on the water supply pipe 6 is used to control the water supply to the seepage pipe group 5, and the second valve 11 on the drain pipe 8 is used to adjust the drainage quantity, which together constitute a water flow control system. By adjusting the opening and closing states of the first valve 10 and the second valve 11, the flow and discharge processes of groundwater in different water-bearing layers can be simulated, including seepage, accumulation and discharge, etc. The water pumping device 9 is used to pump out water from the seepage pipe group 5 when needed to simulate the process of groundwater level decline.

[0033] The embodiment is a method for simulating ground fissure and land subsidence caused by changes in multi-layer groundwater level, which specifically comprises:

[0034] According to the test requirements, the test soil layer 4 is laid on the surface of the fixed platform 2 and the liftable platform 3, and a plurality of seepage pipe groups 5 are buried in the soil layer along the height direction. At the same time, the first detection sensor is buried in the test soil layer 4, and the second detection sensor is arranged above the box 1.

[0035] Water injection stage, open the first valve 10, close the second valve 11, start the water supply assembly 7, through the water supply pipe 6 to the soil layer where the water pipe group 5 is injected. The first detection sensor and the second detection sensor are used to detect the soil moisture change, the ground fissure development and the ground subsidence in real time. According to the detection result, the water injection speed and pressure are adjusted to simulate the underground water activity under different conditions.

[0036] Ground fissure simulation stage, after the water injection reaches the predetermined condition, the lifting platform 3 is controlled to descend a certain height to simulate the formation process of the ground fissure. At the same time, the first detection sensor and the second detection sensor are used to detect the data in real time to observe the development of the ground fissure and the change of the ground subsidence.

[0037] Drainage stage, close the first valve 10, open the second valve 11, start the water pumping device 9, through the drainage pipe 8 to extract the water in the soil layer. The first detection sensor and the second detection sensor are used to detect the soil moisture change, the ground fissure closure and the ground subsidence recovery in real time. According to the detection result, the water pumping speed and duration are adjusted to simulate the underground water level decline process under different conditions. The water pumping device 9 is a water pump.

[0038] Finally, the data of the first detection sensor and the second detection sensor in the test process are collected and arranged, the influence mechanism of the underground water activity on the geological structure stability is analyzed, and the cause mechanism of the ground fissure and the ground subsidence is analyzed.

[0039] In one implementation manner, the water supply assembly 7 includes a water supply device 70, a water tank support 71 and a water tank 72 arranged on the water tank support 71, the water supply device 70 is connected with the water inlet of the water tank 72 through the first pipeline 73, the bottom water outlet of the water tank 72 is vertically connected with the second pipeline 74, and each water supply pipe 6 is connected with the second pipeline 74.

[0040] Specifically, the water supply assembly 7 is used to provide stable water flow to the water infiltration pipe group 5 to simulate underground water activities under different conditions. The assembly includes a water supply device 70, a water tank support 71, and a water tank 72 arranged on the water tank support 71. The water supply device 70 is a power device that provides a water source, which can be a water pump, a booster pump, etc., and its function is to inject water into the water tank 72 and maintain a certain water pressure to ensure that the water flow can smoothly enter the water infiltration pipe group 5. The water tank support 71 is a structural member that supports the water tank 72, ensuring that the water tank 72 remains stable during the test process to avoid affecting the water supply effect due to shaking or tilting. The water tank 72 is a container for storing and regulating water flow, such as stainless steel, glass steel, etc. The capacity of the water tank 72 is selected according to the test requirements to ensure that sufficient water can be provided during long-term testing. The water inlet of the water tank 72 is connected to the water supply device 70 through the first pipeline 73 for receiving water flow from the water supply device 70. The bottom water outlet of the water tank 72 is vertically connected to the second pipeline 74 for delivering water flow to each water supply pipe 6. The first pipeline 73 is a pipeline connecting the water supply device 70 and the water tank 72 to ensure that the water flow can smoothly enter the water tank 72. Valves or flow meters and other accessories can be installed on the first pipeline 73 to regulate and control the flow and pressure of the water flow. The second pipeline 74 is a pipeline connecting the water tank 72 and each water supply pipe 6 to ensure that the water flow can be evenly distributed to each water supply pipe 6. Water distributors or flow valves and other accessories can be installed on the second pipeline 74 to evenly distribute water flow to each water infiltration pipe group 5.

[0041] Before the test starts, first start the water supply device 70 to inject water into the water tank 72. When the water level in the water tank 72 reaches the predetermined height, the water supply device 70 stops working. Then, open the first valve 10 and close the second valve 11, the water in the water tank 72 enters each water supply pipe 6 through the second pipeline 74, and then penetrates into the test soil layer 4 through the water infiltration holes on the water infiltration pipe group 5. By adjusting the working state of the water supply device 70 and the valve on the first pipeline 73, the flow and pressure of the water flow can be controlled to simulate underground water activities under different conditions. During the test, the working state of the water supply device 70 and the water level in the water tank 72 can be adjusted as needed to simulate changes in different underground water levels. At the same time, by observing the data changes of the first detection sensor and the second detection sensor, the soil moisture changes, the development of ground fissures, and the ground subsidence are monitored in real time, so as to analyze the influence mechanism of underground water activities on the stability of geological structure.

[0042] In an implementation, the bottom of the water tank support 71 is provided with mobile wheels 75, which enable the entire water supply assembly 7 to be easily moved and adjusted in position. The material of the mobile wheels 75 is wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant rubber or plastic to ensure good durability during long-term use. To facilitate the fixing of the position of the water tank support 71 during the test, the mobile wheels 75 are equipped with locking functions. When it is necessary to fix the water tank support 71, the mobile wheels 75 can be locked to prevent them from sliding or moving. To meet the needs of moving the water tank support 71 in different directions, some of the mobile wheels 75 are designed to be steerable, i.e., they can rotate 360 degrees or turn within a certain angle.

[0043] In an implementation, the water infiltration pipe group 5 is formed by at least two water infiltration pipes connected in a loop, and a plurality of water infiltration holes are formed on each water infiltration pipe. The water infiltration pipe group 5 is used to simulate the infiltration process of groundwater in soil. That is, the water infiltration pipe is the basic unit of the water infiltration pipe group 5 and is made of corrosion-resistant and high-pressure-resistant materials such as stainless steel and PE pipe. The length and diameter of the water infiltration pipe are selected according to the test requirements to ensure that it can cover the test area and meet the requirements of seepage simulation. The water infiltration pipes in the water infiltration pipe group 5 are connected in parallel to form a loop, which improves the uniformity and stability of seepage. A plurality of water infiltration holes are formed on each water infiltration pipe to uniformly infiltrate water flow into the test soil layer. The size, number, and distribution of the water infiltration holes are designed according to the test requirements to ensure that the water flow can infiltrate at the predetermined speed and direction. The shape of the water infiltration hole can be circular, oval, or other shapes to adapt to different infiltration modes and soil conditions.

[0044] During the test, the water flow provided by the water supply assembly 7 enters the water infiltration pipe group 5 through the second pipe 74. When the water flow flows in the water infiltration pipe, it infiltrates into the test soil layer 4 through the water infiltration holes, simulating the infiltration process of groundwater in soil. Since the water infiltration pipe group 5 adopts a parallel loop design, the water flow can be uniformly distributed on each water infiltration pipe, thereby improving the uniformity and stability of seepage.

[0045] In an implementation, the bottom of the liftable platform 3 is provided with a plurality of jacks 12, and a limiting linkage mechanism 13 is hinged between the liftable platform 3 and the bottom of the box 1. Specifically, the jack 12 is a key component installed at the bottom of the liftable platform 3, which is used to realize the lifting function of the platform. The number and layout of the jacks 12 are designed according to the size and weight of the liftable platform 3 to ensure stability during lifting. Exemplarily, the type of the jack 12 can be hydraulic, mechanical or electric. During lifting, the jacks 12 are controlled synchronously to ensure that the liftable platform 3 rises or falls smoothly and uniformly. The limiting linkage mechanism 13 is a hinged mechanism connected between the liftable platform 3 and the bottom of the box 1, which is used to limit the lifting range of the liftable platform 3 and prevent it from tilting excessively. The limiting linkage mechanism 13 is composed of a plurality of connecting rods and hinge points. During lifting, the limiting linkage mechanism 13 plays a guiding and limiting role to ensure that the liftable platform 3 moves smoothly within the predetermined trajectory.

[0046] In an implementation, the test device further includes an anti-overturning device 14 located on one side of the box 1. The anti-overturning device 14 includes a support frame 140, a plurality of inclined supports 141 are arranged in the support frame 140 and inclined towards the box 1, a sliding block 142 is arranged on each inclined support 141, and a connecting frame 143 is connected between the sliding block 142 on each inclined support 141 and the box 1. The anti-overturning device 14 is used to prevent the box 1 from overturning or being unstable during the test due to various reasons such as sudden changes in underground water level and uneven settlement of soil.

[0047] Specifically, the support frame 140 is the main structure of the anti-overturning device 14, which is used to support and fix the inclined supports 141. The support frame 140 is made of metal material such as steel or aluminum alloy to ensure that it has sufficient strength. The shape and size of the support frame 140 are designed according to the size and shape of the box 1 to ensure that it can closely fit and effectively support the box 1. The inclined supports 141 are connected to the support frame 140 to provide inclined support force towards the box 1. The number and layout of the inclined supports 141 are designed according to the weight and stability requirements of the box 1 to ensure that sufficient support force can be provided during the test. The inclined supports 141 are designed to be adjustable to adjust according to different test conditions and the inclination of the box 1. The sliding block 142 is a moving part arranged on the inclined support 141, which is used to cooperate with the connecting frame 143 to realize flexible connection between the box 1 and the anti-overturning device 14. The connecting frame 143 is a bridge connecting the sliding block 142 and the box 1, which is used to transmit the support force of the anti-overturning device 14 to the box 1. The connecting frame 143 is made of metal material to ensure that it has sufficient strength.

[0048] During the experiment, when the box 1 is affected by external factors such as groundwater activity and soil settlement, the anti-overturning device 14 begins to work. The inclined support 141 provides an inclined support force to the box 1 through the sliding block 142 and the connecting frame 143, preventing it from overturning or becoming unstable. At the same time, due to the adjustable design of the sliding block 142 and the connecting frame 143, it can be adjusted according to different experimental conditions and the inclination of the box 1 to ensure that the anti-overturning device 14 can always provide effective support. The anti-overturning device 14 prevents the box 1 from overturning or becoming unstable during the experiment, ensuring the smooth progress of the experiment and the safety of personnel and equipment.

[0049] In one implementation, the top of the box 1 is provided with a soil transportation device 15. The soil transportation device 15 is used to transport soil or test material to the top of the box 1, thereby facilitating loading into the box 1. During the experiment, the soil transportation device 15 begins to work, transporting soil from the ground or a low place to the top of the box 1, improving the operating efficiency of the test device and reducing the labor intensity of the operator.

[0050] In one implementation, the soil transportation device 15 includes triangular supports 150 arranged on both sides of the top of the box 1, horizontal sliding rails 151 arranged on the triangular supports 150, and sliding cars 152 arranged on the horizontal sliding rails 151, and hooks 153 arranged on the sliding cars 152.

[0051] Specifically, the triangular supports 150 are the support structure of the soil transportation device 15 and are arranged on both sides of the top of the box 1. The triangular supports 150 adopt the principle of triangular stability to ensure the stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure. The horizontal sliding rails 151 are arranged on the triangular supports 150 to support and guide the movement of the sliding cars 152. The sliding cars 152 are moving platforms arranged on the horizontal sliding rails 151 to carry and transport soil. For example, the bottom of the sliding car 152 is provided with rollers or sliding blocks matched with the horizontal sliding rails 151, so that it can slide smoothly during movement. The hooks 153 are arranged on the sliding cars 152 and are used to suspend and lift the soil.

[0052] During the experiment, the operator first places the soil on the hooks 153, then moves the sliding cars 152 on the horizontal sliding rails 151 by operating them, and transports the soil above the box 1. Then, the operator adjusts the height and position of the hooks 153 to put the soil into the box 1. Throughout the process, the triangular supports 150 provide stable support to ensure the stability of the soil transportation device 15.

[0053] The soil transportation device 15 can continuously and efficiently transport soil, greatly improving the efficiency of the experiment. The automatic operation of the soil transportation device 15 greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator and improves the comfort of the experiment.

[0054] In an implementation manner, the test soil layer 4 is alternately arranged from bottom to top by the sand layer 40 and the silty clay layer 41, and the water infiltration pipe group 5 is buried in the corresponding sand layer 40. Specifically, the test soil layer 4 is alternately arranged from bottom to top by the sand layer 40 and the silty clay layer 41, simulating the common multilayer geological structure in nature, and studying the response characteristics of different soil layers under the change of the underground water level. The water infiltration pipe group 5 is buried in the corresponding sand layer 40. Since the sand layer 40 has good water permeability, the water infiltration pipe group 5 can more effectively introduce or discharge water into or out of the test soil layer.

[0055] It can be seen that the test device provided by the above embodiment can not only perform a test without a preset crack (fracture), but also can set a preset crack to simulate the influence of the change of the multilayer underground confined water level on the crack expansion characteristics of the ground crack and the ground subsidence. The test device is mainly used for simulating the evolution process of the ground crack and the ground subsidence when the underground aquifer occurs drainage seepage in the natural environment; and simulating the crack expansion and ground subsidence deformation evolution process of the underground water level under the action of natural seepage supply (drainage) or human extraction (recharge) of underground water.

[0056] The application provides a test method for simulating the ground crack and the ground subsidence caused by the change of the multilayer underground water level, and specifically as follows.

[0057] The test device for simulating the ground crack and the ground subsidence caused by the change of the multilayer underground water level is built, and the fixed platform 2 and the liftable platform 3 are stably installed in the box 1. The test soil layer 4 is laid on the upper surfaces of the fixed platform 2 and the liftable platform 3, and the multilayer geological structure is simulated in the manner that the sand layer 40 and the silty clay layer 41 are alternately arranged. A plurality of water infiltration pipe groups 5 are buried in the test soil layer 4 along the height direction, and the main openings of the water infiltration pipe groups 5 are connected to the water supply pipe 6, and the water supply pipe 6 is connected to the water supply assembly 7. A first detection sensor is buried in the test soil layer 4 and used for monitoring the stress, strain and pore water pressure in the soil layer. A second detection sensor is arranged above the box 1 and used for detecting the ground subsidence.

[0058] The water injection stage: the first valve 10 is opened, and the second valve 11 is closed.

[0062] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 , the laser displacement meter is symmetrically arranged along the middle axis of the box body, and 4 monitoring displacement lines are arranged. The middle axis is also arranged with monitoring displacement lines, which are uniformly arranged at a distance of 0.4 m. Each monitoring line is arranged with 11 laser displacement meters, a total of 55. The laser monitoring points extend along the top middle axis. The distance between the monitoring line at the middle axis and the adjacent monitoring lines above and below is 0.2 m. The adjacent distance between the upper and lower two side lines is 0.4 m.

[0063] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , when burying the soil pressure sensor, first compact and flatten the hole bottom, and then lay a layer of fine sand selected by screening on the hole bottom to ensure uniform stress of the soil pressure sensor during the crack activity. When placing, the front of the soil pressure sensor measuring vertical pressure is upward and horizontally placed, and the front of the soil pressure sensor measuring horizontal pressure is toward the preset crack direction and vertically placed. Finally, fine sand selected by screening is laid around the pressure box and compacted to ensure uniform pressure on the surface of the pressure box and avoid reading fluctuation of the pressure box. At this time, the burying work of the soil pressure sensor is completed.

[0064] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the burying of the optical fiber is similar to the pressure box. A channel is excavated along the length direction of the box body to the predetermined buried stratum height. The soil tank is as straight as possible to avoid distortion. At the same time, a mixture of kaolin and fine sand is spread on the bottom of the optical fiber to flatten the bottom and increase the coupling between the soil body and the optical fiber and the sensitivity of the optical fiber deformation. At the same time, the positions of the preset crack projection and other fixed points are recorded for easy comparison and analysis of the strain change of the optical fiber in the later stage. Then, the optical fiber is fixed by the acrylic plate and the soil layer in sections. The optical fiber is buried by winding a PVC pipe with a diameter of 15 cm to realize the conversion of the burying direction and the pre-tension of the optical fiber.

[0065] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 ,Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the pore pressure sensor and the moisture meter: adopt the ring cutter to punch and bury, adopt the ring cutter to press and punch at the burying point, after reaching the required depth or elevation, first fill part of clean sand at the bottom of the hole, then put the probe into the hole, then fill sand around the probe, finally seal the upper part of the drill hole with expandable clay ball or dry clay ball, so that the probe measures the pore water pressure of the soil layer at the elevation. The technical key of the pore water pressure probe burying is to first ensure that the sand around the probe is permeable, and second to cut off the downward seepage of the upper part of the drill hole. The pore pressure sensor is arranged at the center of the silty clay water-resisting layer and near the top and bottom of the water-bearing layer.
