Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical engineering monitoring, and particularly to a hydraulic jacking penetration type layered earth pressure measuring device and method in a borehole. Background Technique

[0002] The number of deep foundation pit projects in high-density urban areas and new construction projects adjacent to existing buildings has increased sharply. Under this background, how to accurately measure the three-dimensional distribution law of earth pressure around the deep foundation pit support system and adjacent structures through dynamic monitoring has become the core technical problem to ensure project stability and construction safety. As a key means, in-situ earth pressure measurement, its measurement accuracy and efficiency directly affect engineering safety decisions.

[0003] For example, CN108362419A discloses a device and method for measuring in-situ lateral earth pressure. When working, first drill a measurement hole to the required depth on the ground where the lateral earth pressure is to be measured, fix the positioning base on the ground, put the measurement pipe into the measurement hole, and fix and position the measurement pipe at the top through an adjustable clamp; send a power-off instruction through the control box to control the electromagnetic characteristics of the electromagnetic ball. At this time, the whole airbag is in a slidable state. Shake the crank, and the fixed pulley drives the rope tied to the airbag to slowly fall until it reaches the designated position in the measurement hole. The control box sends a power-on instruction, and the electromagnetic ball locks on the internal guide rail of the measurement pipe, and the airbag is exposed at the lower end of the measurement pipe; the control box controls the gas storage tank to inflate the airbag through the air duct. The air guiding device in the airbag can guide the gas to fill evenly, so that the airbag expands; through the calculation of the control box, control the size of the gas volume, so that when the airbag expands to the diameter of the original measurement hole, record and store the stress-strain signal fed back by the strain sensor due to contact and extrusion of the soil body; continue to inflate the airbag until the airbag expands to a certain value larger than the diameter of the measurement hole, record the stress-strain signal value during the whole expansion process, and after calculation by the control box, convert it into a stress-strain curve. Utilize the characteristic of uniform pressurization and expansion of the airbag to make the obtained value closer to the real value. However, after the drilling operation of this device, the soil near the hole wall is uneven after being cut by the drill bit and the hole wall is arc-shaped, resulting in stress concentration when the surface of the strain sensor contacts the hole wall, and it cannot truly reflect the lateral earth pressure data; in addition, this device does not have the function of measuring vertical earth pressure, and due to the air leakage problem of the airbag during long-term operation, it cannot achieve long-term stable operation.

[0004] In addition, the existing methods have significant defects: specifically, (1) in the drilling and hoisting method, after hoisting the earth pressure cell through a drilled hole with a diameter of 250-300 mm and then backfilling in layers, since the backfilled soil and the undisturbed soil form a discontinuous force transmission interface, when the formation stress is redistributed, the stress wave is abnormally attenuated and the measured value is seriously distorted. Moreover, as the drilling depth increases, the soil arch effect caused by the backfilled soil column will exacerbate the secondary interference of the vertical stress transmission, forming a systematic deviation; (2) in the artificial exploratory shaft method, a large-diameter exploratory shaft with a diameter of 600-800 mm is used to slot the hole wall for embedding. Not only does the mechanical slotting lead to poor contact between the earth pressure cell and the undisturbed soil, but also the large-diameter drilled hole causes a severe disturbance to the initial stress field of the formation, forming a new stress field, resulting in a significant reduction in the credibility of the test data. In addition, the construction period of this method is as long as several weeks and requires personnel to work underground, with risks of falling from height and collapse, and both safety and efficiency are limited. The above methods generally have deficiencies such as poor accuracy, unclear earth pressure force transmission path, gaps between the earth pressure cell and the undisturbed soil mass, and low test efficiency.

[0005] There is an urgent need to develop a multi-depth and high-precision earth pressure synchronous monitoring device and test method that can achieve close contact between the earth pressure cell and the undisturbed soil in a small-diameter drilled hole, so as to improve the accuracy and test efficiency of in-situ earth pressure testing and provide technical support for the accurate monitoring of the earth pressure field under complex geological conditions.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the non-through groove is arc-shaped, and the bottom of the swinging bolt is arc-shaped to match the arc-shaped non-through groove. A through groove is provided at the lower part of the center of the fixing frame. The length axis of the through groove is perpendicular to the length axis of the non-through groove. The operating rod passes through the through groove and is connected to the swinging bolt.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed shell includes an upper fixed platform and a lower fixed platform. The upper fixed platform and the lower fixed platform are respectively detachably connected to the top and bottom of the shell of the rotary multi-stage oil cylinder. The cylinder structure includes parallel first and second cylinders. The first cylinder is installed in the upper fixed platform, and the second cylinder is installed in the lower fixed platform. The first cylinder and the second cylinder are connected to an adjustable air pressure control console through a gas pipeline.

[0015] Preferably, the front end of the earth pressure gauge loader is conical, the rear end is arc-shaped, and the front end of the expansion head is arc-shaped and matches the rear end of the earth pressure gauge loader.

[0016] A method for measuring layered earth pressure by hydraulic jacking penetration in a borehole, using the above-mentioned device for measuring layered earth pressure by hydraulic jacking penetration in a borehole, the specific steps are as follows: S1, borehole drilling; S2, assemble the penetration structure on the ground; S3, install the orifice positioning structure, penetration structure and fixing structure in the borehole; S4, borehole backfilling; S5, data acquisition and processing.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The penetration structure, fixing structure and orifice positioning structure adopted by the device for measuring layered earth pressure by hydraulic jacking penetration in a borehole of the present invention realize low-cost and convenient pressure measurement. By drilling a borehole and using the penetration structure to embed the earth pressure gauge into the undisturbed soil mass, the upper and lower surfaces of the earth pressure gauge can directly contact the undisturbed soil mass, directly reflecting the stress change of the undisturbed soil. Compared with the traditional method of suspending the earth pressure gauge by drilling, the test accuracy can be greatly improved, it is more sensitive to the change of soil pressure, and multiple earth pressure gauges can be longitudinally inserted at different depths in the same small-diameter borehole without drilling multiple boreholes along the circumferential direction on the ground, greatly saving manpower and material resources, and greatly reducing the installation and test time of the earth pressure gauge.

[0018] A wire-pulling type displacement gauge is arranged in the penetration structure to monitor the distance that the earth pressure gauge loader embeds into the soil during the penetration process, which can ensure that the earth pressure gauge loader is integrally inserted into the soil on the side wall of the borehole, prevent the insufficient insertion depth of the earth pressure gauge loader from affecting the monitoring data of the earth pressure gauge, avoid the earth pressure gauge from falling or shifting during the subsequent backfilling process, and at the same time prevent the over-push of the penetration structure from damaging the external waterproof shell of the rotary multi-section oil cylinder and the earth pressure gauge and damaging the internal electronic devices.

[0019] An opening arc-shaped plate is arranged on the front side of the penetration structure. During the penetration process, if one side of the opening arc-shaped plate contacts the side wall of the drilling hole first, the back sides of the upper fixed platform, the rotating multi-section oil cylinder and the lower fixed platform can be contacted and embedded into the side wall of the drilling hole through the interaction force, so that the whole penetration structure is kept vertical, avoiding angular displacement of the penetration structure during the penetration of the earth pressure gauge, resulting in deviation of the position where the earth pressure gauge is inserted into the soil body. Moreover, during the penetration process, the earth pressure gauge loader is restricted by the notch of the opening arc-shaped plate and the propelling rod, ensuring that the earth pressure gauge is always inserted into the side wall of the drilling hole in a horizontal state.

[0020] By rotating the multi-section pistons of the rotating multi-section oil cylinder and arranging a matching groove on the opening arc-shaped plate, the horizontal earth pressure can be monitored, and it can be changed at any time according to the actual monitoring requirements.

[0021] All parts can be detachably connected, which is convenient for carrying. If any part is damaged, it can be detachably replaced and continue to be used. If the models of the earth pressure gauges are different, only the earth pressure gauge loader needs to be replaced to use, which is convenient, fast, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0056] As Figure 14 shown, the present invention also discloses a method for measuring the layered earth pressure by hydraulic jacking penetration in a drill hole, and the steps are simple, including the following steps: Step 1: Drill hole drilling Step 101: Determine the measuring point coordinates according to the monitoring plan, and use a drill rig to drill a vertical hole at the predetermined position; Step 102: Control the diameter of the drill hole 15 within 130 mm to avoid disturbing the stress field of the surrounding soil mass. Step 103: Pause when drilling to about h / 2 below the bottom monitoring point, and collect undisturbed soil samples at this depth for geotechnical tests.

[0057] During the drilling process, undisturbed soil samples at each monitoring depth need to be retained for subsequent geotechnical tests to understand the initial physical and mechanical indexes of the soil at each monitoring point. The diameter of the drill hole is 130 mm. The diameter of the drill hole should not be too large, otherwise the drill hole will have too much influence on the initial stress field of the surrounding soil mass and affect the measurement accuracy.

[0058] Step Two: Pre-assemble the soil pressure gauge penetration structure on the ground Step 201: Connect and fix the upper fixed platform 2, the lower fixed platform 3 and the rotary multi-section oil cylinder 1 with bolts. Connect the first cylinder 2-2 and the second cylinder 3-1 with bolts to fix the first cushion block 2-5 and the second cushion block 3-4 on the upper fixed platform 2 and the lower fixed platform 3. Step 202: Connect and fix the wire-pulling displacement gauge 3-6 to the lower fixed platform 3. Fix the connecting head 8-2 to the U-shaped rod 8-3 with bolts, and fix the U-shaped rod 8-3 to the rotary multi-section oil cylinder 1. Fix the pushing head 5 to the multi-section piston 1-6. Step 203: Connect the first air ejection pipe 2-3 and the first air recovery pipe 2-4 to the first cylinder 2-2, and connect the second air ejection pipe 3-2 and the second air recovery pipe 3-3 to the second cylinder 3-1. According to the requirements of vertical or horizontal soil pressure monitoring, select the soil pressure gauge notch 4-4 of the open arc plate 4 to be vertical or horizontal, and connect and fix the open arc plate 4 to the first cylinder 2-2, the second cylinder 3-1, the third cushion block 4-1 and the fourth cushion block 4-2 with bolts. Step 204: Fix the soil pressure gauge 7 to the soil pressure gauge loader 6 with strong glue. Insert the insertion rod 5-5 of the pushing head 5 into the jack 6-2 of the soil pressure gauge loader 6, pass the soil pressure gauge loader 6 through and fix it inside the groove 4-4 of the open arc plate 4. Extend the soil pressure gauge wire 7-1 out of the ground 14 from the first wire groove 4-5 opened on the open arc plate 4. The assembly of the soil pressure gauge 7 penetration structure is completed.

[0059] Step Three: Installation of the soil pressure gauge Step 301: Place the positioning ring 9-1 of the orifice positioning structure 9 at the orifice of the drill hole 15 to ensure that the positioning ring 9-1 coincides with the center of the drill hole 15. Step 302: Temporarily fix the operating rod 8-1 and the connector 8-2 by connecting them with a pin shaft 8-5. The operator on the ground 14 lowers the penetration structure into the borehole 15 by continuously connecting the operating rod 8-1. Every time it is lowered by a certain distance, steel hose clamps are used to fix the ejection oil pipe 1-1, the recovery oil pipe 1-2, the first ejection air pipe 2-3, the second ejection air pipe 3-2, the first recovery air pipe 2-4, the second recovery air pipe 3-3, the first cable 3-7 of the wire-drawing displacement gauge, and the soil pressure gauge wire 7-1. When it is lowered to the bottom of the borehole 15, stop lowering. Place the fixing frame 9-2 into the fixing groove 9-4 of the positioning ring 9-1. Connect the bottom end of the swing pin 9-3 and the operating rod 8-1 with a pin shaft 8-5, and insert the swing pin 9-3 into the groove in the center of the fixing frame 9-2 to fix the penetration structure at the specified depth; Step 303: Connect the first ejection air pipe 2-3 and the second ejection air pipe 3-2 to the air pressure control console 10, adjust the pressure of the air pressure control console 10, simultaneously pressurize the first cylinder 2-2 and the second cylinder 3-1, push the opening arc plate 4 to make it close to the side wall of the borehole 15, and at the same time push the upper fixing platform 2, the rotary multi-joint oil cylinder 1, and the lower fixing platform 3 of the penetration structure in the opposite direction, and embed the fixing teeth 1-3 at the rear of the three into the hole wall and closely fit them with the side wall of the borehole 15; Step 304: Connect the ejection oil pipe 1-1 and the recovery oil pipe 1-2 of the rotary multi-joint oil cylinder 1 to the double-acting hydraulic pump station 13 through quick connectors. Adjust the double-acting hydraulic pump station 13 to supply oil and pressurize the ejection oil pipe 1-1, eject the multi-joint piston 1-6 of the rotary multi-joint oil cylinder 1, and push the soil pressure gauge loader 6 and the soil pressure gauge 7 into the soil body on the side wall of the borehole 15. At the same time, observe the displacement value of the wire-drawing displacement gauge 3-6 in real time. When the displacement value increment reaches the predetermined value, that is, when the soil pressure gauge loader 6 carries the soil pressure gauge 7 completely into the soil body on the side wall of the borehole 15, stop supplying oil and pressurizing the ejection oil pipe 1-1. At this time, the soil pressure gauge 7 is embedded into the soil body at the predetermined monitoring depth; Step 305: Adjust the double-acting hydraulic pump station 13 to pressurize the recovery oil pipe 1-2, gradually retract the multi-joint piston 1-6 of the rotary multi-joint oil cylinder 1. At this time, the insertion rod 5-5 of the pushing head 5 withdraws from the insertion hole 6-2 of the soil pressure gauge loader 6, separates the pushing head 5 from the soil pressure gauge loader 6, and then adjusts the air pressure control console 10 to pressurize the first recovery air pipe 2-4 and the second recovery air pipe 3-3, and retract the opening arc plate 4 to the initial position. At this time, the soil pressure gauge wire 7-1 withdraws from the first wire groove 4-5 of the opening arc plate 4; Step 306: Lift the operating rod 8-1 and remove the steel hose clamp, lift the penetration structure to the ground 14, fix the next soil pressure gauge 7 to the soil pressure gauge loader 6 according to Step 204, and place it into the penetration structure; Step 307: Repeat steps 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, and 307 until all earth pressure gauges 7 are installed.

[0060] Step Four: Borehole Backfilling Backfill the borehole 15 layer by layer, compacting each 30 cm layer to the elevation of the existing ground surface 14 to ensure that the density of the backfill soil 17 after compaction is basically the same as the density of the soil around the borehole 15.

[0061] Step Five: Data Acquisition and Processing Step 501: Connect the wires 7-1 of all earth pressure gauges 7 to the pressure data collector 11 to continuously monitor the vertical or horizontal earth pressure distribution of the soil at different depths; Step 502: Process the collected earth pressure data. The processing method is as follows: Perform zero calibration before the earth pressure gauge is inserted, and measure the initial value of the earth pressure gauge in the free state E 0‌ , when the borehole is backfilled to the ground surface 14 after the earth pressure gauge is inserted, measure the initial value of the earth pressure gauge E 1, record the real-time monitoring value of the earth pressure gauge during the construction process ‌E t ‌, then the true change in the earth pressure gauge △ E = E t - E 1, if it is necessary to further calibrate the zero drift of the earth pressure gauge 7, then the measured value of the earth pressure gauge 7 after correction should be: E = E t - E 0.

[0062] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the outer fixing teeth 1-3 of the upper fixing platform 2, the lower fixing platform 3, and the opening arc plate 4 should be not more than 2 mm, which can reduce the influence on the borehole wall of the borehole 15 while fixing the penetration structure.

[0063] In this embodiment, the upper fixing platform 2 and the lower fixing platform 3 should preferably be made of stainless steel to prevent equipment corrosion during the long-term construction process, and at the same time ensure that the fixing platform has a certain anti-deformation ability to provide sufficient reaction force during the installation of the earth pressure gauge 7 in the penetration structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the rotary multi-stage oil cylinder 1, the upper fixing platform 2, and the lower fixing platform 3 should preferably be made of stainless steel, and the opening arc plate 4 can be made of aluminum alloy to reduce the resistance during the extension and retraction of the first cylinder 2-2 and the second cylinder 3-1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the rotary multi-stage oil cylinder 1 is preferably a double-acting oil cylinder, or a single-acting oil cylinder with a built-in rigid spring can also be used to realize the ejection and recovery of the piston; In this embodiment, the first cylinder 2-2 and the second cylinder 3-1 can be replaced by an electric push-pull rod, and the ejection and recovery of the opening arc plate 4 are realized by being powered on through an external power supply; In this embodiment, the range of the wire displacement gauge 3-6 should be greater than half of the diameter of the drill hole 15.

[0066] In this embodiment, the diameter of the drill hole 15 in step two is preferably not greater than 130 mm.

[0067] For the hydraulic jacking and penetration type layered earth pressure measuring device in a drill hole of the present invention, when installing the earth pressure gauge 7, there is no need for personnel to enter the inside of the drill hole 15, and all installation work is completed above the ground 14, avoiding the cumbersome steps of the traditional method of drilling large-diameter exploration wells manually and installing them underground, being safe and reliable and having higher installation accuracy.

[0068] The diameter of the drilled exploration hole can be less than 130 mm. Compared with the traditional method of drilling a 600-mm artificial exploration well, it can greatly reduce the interference with the initial stress field of the surrounding soil mass and improve the measurement accuracy.

[0069] Fixed teeth 1-3 are provided on the outer sides of the upper fixed platform 2, the rotary multi-stage oil cylinder 1, the lower fixed platform 3 and the opening arc plate 4. During the penetration process, the fixed teeth 1-3 can be embedded in the soil mass on the side wall of the drill hole 15 to prevent the penetration structure from sliding up and down and ensure the stability of the penetration process; at the same time, the upper fixed platform 2, the lower fixed platform 3 and the opening arc plate 4 are provided with through pressure relief holes 2-1, which can reduce the interfacial adsorption force generated by the extrusion of the penetration structure and the side wall of the drill hole 15 and ensure the smooth retraction of the opening arc plate 4.

[0070] All the parts and equipment of the penetration structure are waterproof and can be used for the earth pressure monitoring work under the condition of a relatively high groundwater level. Each part can be detachably connected, which is convenient to carry. If any part is damaged, it can be disassembled and replaced and then continue to be used. If the model of the earth pressure gauge 7 is different, only the loader 6 of the earth pressure gauge 7 needs to be replaced to be used, which is convenient, fast, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0071] In summary, the hydraulic jacking and penetration type layered earth pressure measuring device in a drill hole of the present invention is reasonably designed, has a low input cost, saves manpower and material resources, and is convenient to install and operate. It can be used to install the earth pressure gauge 7 into the internal soil mass to be monitored at different depths in the same small-diameter drill hole 15, realize the automatic monitoring of the distribution of vertical or horizontal earth pressure along the soil layer depth direction, shorten the installation time, and reduce the influence of the drill hole 15 on the surrounding stress field.

[0072] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention, the technical solutions can be subject to several simple modifications and substitutions, and these modifications and substitutions also fall within the protection scope covered by the claims.
