Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention patent relates to the technical field of rock and soil mechanics testing, and specifically to a soil shearing device and test method for dynamic performance testing of deep-sea sedimentary soil. Background Art
[0002] As an important transportation infrastructure connecting different islands and regions, cross-sea bridge construction is gradually becoming an important transportation hub worldwide. The construction of cross-sea bridges faces complex ocean, geological and climatic challenges, especially engineering problems under deep-sea sedimentary soil conditions, which brings severe technical tests to infrastructure construction.
[0003] In the Pacific Rim seismic belt, the geological structure is active and the marine environment is unique. Deep-sea sedimentary soil is one of the important geotechnical materials in the region. Deep-sea sedimentary soil is usually composed of a mixture of sand, clay, silt and gravel, and is highly heterogeneous and variable. Due to the influence of sedimentation and the marine environment, the physical and mechanical properties of these soils (such as density, porosity, friction angle, compressibility, etc.) often vary greatly, and under the dynamic effects of seismic loads, marine climate change, etc., their mechanical behavior shows strong nonlinear and time-varying characteristics. These characteristics make the stability of deep-sea sedimentary soil a key issue in the construction of cross-sea bridges, especially in terms of bridge foundation design, settlement control, and seismic design.
[0004] In order to cope with these complex characteristics of deep-sea sedimentary soil, it is particularly important to accurately evaluate its geotechnical mechanical properties. Traditional static soil testing methods cannot fully reveal the response of soil under dynamic loads. Therefore, it is urgent to develop dynamic performance testing equipment that can simulate the behavior of deep-sea sedimentary soil under real working conditions. To this end, designing a high-precision, controllable soil shear device that can accurately evaluate the dynamic mechanical properties of deep-sea sedimentary soil under simulated marine environment, seismic loads and different temperature and humidity conditions, and provide reliable data support for the foundation design of cross-sea bridges, is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the current field of geotechnical engineering testing.
[0005] Simulating the natural stress state of soil through geotechnical testing instruments and then studying the strength and deformation characteristics of soil under actual load conditions is an important basis for guiding and solving practical engineering problems. At present, the main instruments for testing the dynamic characteristics of soil include dynamic triaxial apparatuses, dynamic torsional shear apparatuses, and dynamic simple shear apparatuses. The dynamic triaxial apparatus cannot simulate the rotation of the principal stress axes under the action of pseudo-dynamic loads; the dynamic torsional shear apparatus applies vertical loads and horizontal reciprocating torsional shear actions simultaneously on a hollow cylindrical specimen, which can be used to study the constitutive relationship of soil under complex stress conditions, but has disadvantages such as difficulty in forming the hollow cylindrical specimen and uneven shear strain; the dynamic simple shear apparatus can apply vertical and horizontal shear loads to the specimen simultaneously, and its loading conditions are closer to the seismic actions received by actual engineering sites. The shear stress can be directly applied, and the generated shear strain can be directly measured. The dynamic simple shear apparatus has significant advantages that other instruments do not have in simulating seismic actions. Therefore, there is a problem in the prior art that it is inconvenient to conduct dynamic performance tests on deep-sea sedimentary soil.

[0051] Embodiment
[0052] Refer to Figure 1, A soil shear device for testing the dynamic properties of deep - sea sedimentary soil, comprising: a reaction frame 10, a support assembly 20, a pressing assembly 30, and a multi - directional loading assembly 40. The reaction frame 10 is in a square - shaped opening form, and a rolling groove 11 is provided on the inner wall of its bottom. The support assembly 20 can slide along the rolling groove 11, facilitating the adjustment of the horizontal position of the support assembly 20.
[0053] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , The support assembly 20 includes: a bearing plate 21 slidably engaged with the reaction frame 10, a base 22 disposed above the bearing plate 21, and a lower base 23 located above the base 22. A plurality of rollers 24 that are in rolling engagement with the rolling groove 11 are connected to the bottom surface of the bearing plate 21, enabling the rollers 24 to roll along the rolling groove 11, thereby driving the bearing plate 21 to move. The outer wall of the base 22 is connected to some components in the multi - directional loading assembly 40, and the upper part of the lower base 23 is used to place the deep - sea sedimentary soil specimen for the test.
[0054] A lower O - ring 25 is also provided between the lower base 23 and the specimen. The lower O - ring 25 is made of rubber and is used to seal the gap between the specimen and the lower base 23, preventing the leakage of the liquid water generated during the test of the deep - sea sedimentary soil specimen. A lower drainage hole 26 communicating with the specimen is also opened on the lower base 23. The lower drainage hole 26 is used to orderly drain the liquid water generated by the specimen during the test. The dynamic state of the specimen can be determined by statistically analyzing the volume of the drained liquid water.
[0055] The pressing assembly 30 is located on the top surface of the specimen and includes: an upper pressing head 31 in contact with the top surface of the specimen and an upper O - ring 32 disposed between the specimen and the upper pressing head 31. The top surface of the upper pressing head 31 is in contact with some components in the multi - directional loading assembly 40. The upper O - ring 32 is also made of rubber and is used to seal the gap between the specimen and the upper pressing head 31, preventing the leakage of the liquid water generated during the test of the deep - sea sedimentary soil specimen. An upper drainage hole 33 communicating with the specimen is also opened on the upper pressing head 31. The upper drainage hole 33 is used to orderly drain the liquid water generated by the specimen during the test. The dynamic state of the specimen can be determined by statistically analyzing the volume of the drained liquid water.
[0056] The multi-directional loading assembly 40 includes a Z-direction loading member 43 connected to the top surface of the upper platen 31, an X-direction loading member 41 and a Y-direction loading member 42 respectively connected to different side surfaces of the base 22, and the extending directions of the X-direction loading member 41 and the Y-direction loading member 42 are perpendicular to each other. The X-direction loading member 41 includes an X-direction power cylinder 44 connected to the reaction frame 10 and an X-direction connecting plate 45 provided at the end of the X-direction power cylinder 44, and the X-direction connecting plate 45 is connected to the outer side wall of the base 22; the Y-direction loading member 42 includes a Y-direction power cylinder 46 connected to the reaction frame 10 and a Y-direction connecting plate 47 provided at the end of the Y-direction power cylinder 46, and the Y-direction connecting plate 47 is connected to the other outer side wall of the base 22. The X-direction loading member 41 and the Y-direction loading member 42 are at the same horizontal height, applying loads in different directions to the base 22, causing the base 22 to displace along the rolling groove 11, thereby generating a shear force on the bottom of the upper specimen.
[0057] The Z-direction loading member 43 includes a Z-direction power cylinder 48 connected to the reaction frame 10 and a Z-direction connecting plate 49 provided at the end of the Z-direction power cylinder 48, and the Z-direction connecting plate 49 is connected to the top surface of the upper platen 31. The Z-direction power cylinder 48 provides power to apply a load to the top of the specimen through the upper platen 31 to compress the specimen, thereby causing corresponding deformation at the bottom of the specimen.
[0058] The specimen is deep-sea sediment soil. During the test, the specimen is placed between the upper platen 31 and the lower base 23, and water-permeable stones 51 are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the specimen. The surface of the water-permeable stone 51 in contact with the specimen is a frosted surface, which can not only protect the specimen but also facilitate the liquid water generated during the test to pass through the water-permeable stone 51 and enter the upper drainage hole 33 and the lower drainage hole 26. A rigid restraint ring 60 is also sleeved outside the specimen. The rigid restraint ring 60 is located between the upper platen 31 and the lower base 23 and is used to restrain and limit the specimen, so that the cross-section of the specimen remains unchanged during the test, thereby avoiding test errors caused by cross-section changes.
[0059] Refer to Figure 3, a temperature control system 70 can also be provided between the outer side of the test piece and the inner wall of the reaction frame 10. The temperature control system 70 includes: a heat insulation cover 71 located on the outer side of the test piece, a cooler 72 provided on the inner side wall of the heat insulation cover 71, and an exhaust valve 73 and a temperature sensor 74 respectively located on the top wall of the heat insulation cover 71. The heat insulation cover 71 and the base 22 are in sealing fit, so that a cold liquid cavity 75 is formed inside the heat insulation cover 71. The bottom of the heat insulation cover 71 is also connected with a liquid injection pipeline 76. The liquid injection pipeline 76 penetrates into the side wall of the base 22 and then penetrates out from the top surface of the base 22, so as to communicate with the cold liquid cavity 75, facilitating the inflow and outflow of the cooling liquid. The number of the coolers 72 is multiple and they are evenly distributed on the side wall of the heat insulation cover 71, so as to avoid temperature differences at different positions of the cold liquid cavity 75. The Z-direction power cylinder 48 penetrates the top wall of the heat insulation cover 71, and a waterproof bearing 77 is provided at the penetration position. The outer wall of the heat insulation cover 71 is also provided with heat insulation asbestos 78, so as to further insulate and heat the cold liquid cavity 75. By providing the temperature control system 70, the present invention facilitates heat insulation of the test piece, keeps the test piece in the state of deep sea sediment soil, and thus avoids the influence of the change of the state of the test piece during the test on the test result.
[0060] The operation process of the present invention for patent: 1) The multi-directional loading assembly 40 applies a load; 2) The upper platen 31 compresses the test piece; 3) The base 22 displaces along the rolling groove 11 and applies a shear force to the bottom of the test piece; 4) The bottom of the test piece deforms and liquid water flows out through the upper drainage hole 33 and the lower drainage hole 26 respectively.
[0061] A test method for a soil shear device for testing the dynamic properties of deep sea sediment soil includes the following steps:
[0062] 1. Test piece preparation and device setting
[0063] Test piece preparation: Take an appropriate amount of deep sea sediment soil sample and prepare a test piece according to the dimensions required by the test. The size and shape of the test piece should meet the accommodation conditions of the device, usually in a cylindrical shape. The upper surface of the test piece should be flat to ensure uniform stress during loading.
[0064] Device installation: Place the test piece on the lower base 23 and ensure that the position of the test piece is horizontal. Permeable stones (51) should be placed on both the upper and lower sides of the test piece so that liquid water can drain smoothly during the test. Then, apply pressure through the upper platen 31 to ensure that the test piece is in the correct position inside the test device.
[0065] 2. Temperature regulation and system initialization
[0066] Turn on the temperature control system 70 and set the temperature required for the test, usually set according to the temperature of the deep - sea environment. Inject an appropriate amount of coolant into the cold liquid cavity 75 and start the cooler 72. Monitor through the temperature sensor 74 and ensure that the temperature of the test piece is maintained within the set range (for example, usually set to the deep - sea temperature between 4°C and 25°C).
[0067] Ensure that all systems in the device (such as the multi - directional loading component, the pressing component, the drainage system) are in working condition to ensure the smooth progress of the test.
[0068] 3. Loading process
[0069] Initial loading: Apply an initial load to the test piece through the multi - directional loading component 40. The loading members (41, 42, 43) in the X, Y, and Z directions apply preliminary loads through the power cylinders respectively. The loads in the X and Y directions are mainly used to simulate the horizontal loads, while the load in the Z direction is used to simulate the vertical load.
[0070] Pressing loading: Start the Z - direction power cylinder 48 to make the pressing component 30 act on the upper part of the test piece, and apply a vertical pressure through the upper pressing head 31 to ensure that the test piece does not displace or deform during the loading process.
[0071] Multi - directional shear loading: Gradually increase the loads in the X, Y, and Z directions to simulate the seismic or wave actions in different directions and investigate the dynamic response of deep - sea sedimentary soil under different loading directions.
[0072] 4. Shear test and dynamic response monitoring
[0073] While applying the load, use corresponding sensors (such as strain gauges, displacement gauges, etc.) to monitor the deformation of the test piece and record its dynamic response. At this time, the shear strain, pore water pressure, and deformation degree of the test piece will be recorded in real - time.
[0074] Collect the outflow volume of the liquid water of the test piece during the loading process through the drainage system (upper drainage hole 33 and lower drainage hole 26) in the device. This data will be used to evaluate the water discharge of the soil under dynamic loads.
[0075] 5. End of shear test and data recording
[0076] When the shear deformation of the test piece reaches the predetermined maximum limit, or when the liquid water discharge reaches the set standard, stop the loading and complete the test.
[0077] Record all key data, including load changes, stress - strain curves, pore water pressure changes, liquid water discharge volume, and the final deformation of the test piece.
[0078] Post - test treatment: After the test, remove the load and observe the recovery of the specimen and any permanent deformation. If necessary, subsequent physical property analyses can be carried out, such as soil particle composition, void ratio, liquid limit, and plastic limit. All data obtained during the test will be used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of deep - sea sedimentary soil under simulated deep - sea environments, including properties such as shear strength, compressibility, and liquid water discharge, providing a theoretical basis for soil mechanics research in deep - sea engineering.
[0079] Result analysis and report: Based on the stress - strain data, deformation data, and liquid water outflow obtained during the test, analyze the mechanical behavior of the soil, such as yield strength, shear modulus, and pore water pressure changes. Complete a test report that should include the physical properties of the specimen, test conditions, detailed records of the test process, analysis results, and conclusions to guide engineering design.
