Background Art

[0002] The technology for measuring the height of the soil plug in a spiral pipe pile is an important means for studying the bearing performance of pile foundations and soil-structure interaction. Although traditional methods such as mechanical measurement and optical measurement are simple to operate, their accuracy and applicability are limited; modern sensing technologies achieve high-precision real-time monitoring through displacement sensors and pressure sensors, but have high requirements for the devices; image processing technologies use high-resolution cameras and video tracking methods to record the changes of the soil plug, which can intuitively reflect the test process, but rely on light conditions and algorithm support. However, the current measurement technologies still face problems such as equipment stability, high cost, complex data processing, and lack of standardization. Measuring the height of the soil plug in a spiral pipe pile by the air pressure method is a non-contact measurement technology, which can be operated outside the spiral pile, will not disturb the soil body, and can solve problems such as the verticality error of the measuring scale and the error caused by the measuring reading angle.
