Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of concrete performance testing, and particularly to an experimental device and method for simulating the state evolution of diaphragm wall concrete. Background Art
[0002] During the construction of ultra-deep diaphragm walls, the evolution of concrete state is a key factor affecting the construction progress and pouring quality. The construction process of diaphragm walls is complex, including multiple steps such as excavating the guide groove and diaphragm wall slots, lowering the conduits and joint pipes, pouring concrete, and pulling out the pipes to form the wall. Among them, the "joint pipe method" has significant advantages in the connection of diaphragm wall segments due to its low requirements for construction equipment, relatively simple construction technology, and high economy.
[0003] However, the complexity and unpredictability of the concrete state evolution process pose great challenges to construction. If the concrete setting time is predicted too early and the concrete has not reached a certain strength, shrinkage and collapse may occur in the joint holes; conversely, if the concrete setting time is predicted too late, the bonding force between the joint pipe and the concrete interface will increase sharply, increasing the difficulty of pulling out, and even may cause the joint pipe to be cast in the concrete and unable to be pulled out, resulting in major safety accidents.
[0004] In order to simulate the concrete state evolution process in the construction environment of ultra-deep diaphragm walls, researchers have developed various experimental devices and methods. For example, CN118191002A discloses an experimental device and method for simulating the state evolution of diaphragm wall concrete in a deep earth environment. In this invention, metal mesh pipes and sponge pipes are arranged in the test mold bucket, concrete is poured inside the sponge pipes, and annular heating elements are arranged outside the test mold bucket; the test mold bucket is connected to an external pressure gas source through an end cover to form a concrete curing chamber with high-temperature saturated water boundary, high-pressure load, and static seal to simulate the high-pressure, high geothermal temperature, lateral confinement, and saturated water environment of diaphragm wall concrete in deep earth. However, this simulation method still has certain limitations.
[0005] Firstly, in the actual deep earth environment, even in areas at the same depth, although the overall temperature is relatively close, due to the difference in the thermal conductivity of different substances in contact with the outside of the concrete, the efficiency of heat transfer to the outside of the concrete will also be different, resulting in an uneven distribution of the outside temperature of the concrete. In the above-mentioned prior art, after the annular heating element heats the heat to a certain temperature, the heat is evenly transferred to the concrete surface through the same medium, so that the outside of the concrete is heated more evenly, which deviates from the heat transfer characteristics in the actual deep earth environment.
[0006] Secondly, after the concrete of the ultra-deep cut-off wall is poured, it needs to bear the mud pressure of more than 100 meters above, and at the same time, it is under the coupling action of multiple factors such as the restraint of the foundation soil body, high ground temperature and groundwater environment. The curing environment under traditional laboratory conditions is quite different from the on-site construction conditions, and it is impossible to accurately simulate the influence of these complex working conditions on the evolution of concrete properties. For example, the traditional method of determining the setting time by measuring the penetration degree does not fully consider the influence of deep earth high pressure and high ground temperature on the evolution of concrete properties, and the accuracy of its measurement results is poor, thus having a greater impact on the wall-forming quality of the concrete cut-off wall.
[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more accurate and comprehensive experimental device and method for simulating concrete properties, so as to be closer to the actual construction environment, improve the accuracy and reliability of the research on the evolution of concrete properties, and provide a more scientific basis and technical support for the construction of ultra-deep cut-off walls.

[0033] I. Overall structure of the device 1. Test tank 1 and accessory components (1) Main structure: The test tank 1 is made of high-strength stainless steel, and its outer wall is treated with anti-corrosion to ensure that it is not eroded by the external environment during long-term use. The tank body is designed with a double-wall structure, with the inner layer for containing simulated medium (such as water) and the outer layer as a heat insulation layer to reduce heat dissipation and ensure the stability of the temperature field during the test.
[0034] (2) Connecting pipe 2 and restricting valve 3: The connecting pipe 2 is welded to the side wall of the test tank 1, made of stainless steel, and its inner diameter is precisely calculated to ensure smooth water flow and high heat exchange efficiency. The restricting valve 3 is an electric regulating valve, equipped with a temperature sensor and a control module, which can automatically adjust the opening degree of the connecting pipe 2 according to the test requirements to achieve precise control of the temperature inside the test tank 1.
[0035] (3) Stirring mechanism 4: Driving system: The core of the stirring mechanism 4 is the driving motor 37, which is a high-performance AC servo motor with characteristics such as high torque output, low noise, and long service life. The motor is connected to the driving gear 38 through a coupling to ensure efficient and stable power transmission; Stirring system: The stirring rod 39 is made of stainless steel, and its surface is polished to reduce the resistance to water flow. The number and layout of the stirring rods 39 are optimized through fluid mechanics simulation to ensure uniform water flow velocity and temperature distribution in each area inside the test tank 1 during the stirring process; Gear transmission system: The driven gear 40 is key-connected to the stirring rod 39. The internal gear ring 35 is fixed below the cover plate 33 and together with the driving gear 38 and the driven gear 40 constitutes a planetary gear transmission mechanism to achieve synchronous and reverse rotation of multiple stirring rods 39, improving the stirring effect.
[0036] 2. Inner tank 9 and restraint net 11 Design of the inner tank 9: The inner tank 9 is also made of high-strength stainless steel, and its wall thickness is calculated by structural mechanics to ensure no deformation under high-pressure conditions. Drainage holes are provided at the bottom of the tank body to facilitate the drainage of internal accumulated water after the test.
[0037] Fixed seat 10 and restraint net 11: The fixed seat 10 is welded to the lower surface of the inner wall of the inner tank 9, and a groove is opened at the top for positioning the restraint net 11. The restraint net 11 is woven from high-strength steel wires, and the mesh size is determined through screening tests, which can not only ensure that the concrete does not leak during pouring and vibration, but also allow the free exchange of water and gas.
[0038] 3. Movable frame 15 and filler 16 Structure of the movable frame 15: The movable frame 15 is a hexahedron structure made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy, and its surface is anodized to improve corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Reinforcing ribs are provided inside the frame body to enhance the overall structural strength.
[0039] Splicing and limiting components: Adjacent movable frames 15 are quickly spliced through T-shaped blocks 17 and T-shaped grooves 19, and a gasket is provided at the splicing position to prevent the leakage of the filler 16. In the limiting component, the sliding rod 20 and the fixed cone 23 form a self-locking mechanism. When the movable frame 15 is spliced, the sliding rod 20 is automatically pressed down under the action of the first spring 22, and the fixed cone 23 is embedded in the preset hole at the top of the lower movable frame 15 to achieve longitudinal fixation. The insertion rod 24 and the ball 27 form a transverse locking mechanism. When the movable frame 15 is in place, the insertion rod 24 automatically pops out under the action of the second spring 26, and the ball 27 is stuck in the side wall slot of the adjacent movable frame 15 to prevent transverse dislocation.
[0040] Selection and arrangement of the filler 16: The filler 16 includes stones, water-containing sponges and gravel of different particle sizes, and its ratio is determined according to the actual geological exploration data. The stones and gravel simulate the deep-earth rock skeleton, and the water-containing sponge simulates the groundwater seepage path.

The main body of the pressure gauge 31 is a precision digital pressure gauge, which has data storage and remote transmission functions, and can monitor and record the internal pressure change of the inner tank 9 in real time. The main body of the pressure regulating valve 32 is a proportional regulating valve, which has a fast response speed and high regulation accuracy, and can accurately control the internal pressure fluctuation range of the inner tank 9.
[0042] Testing component: The column 12 is a telescopic structure, and its height is adjusted by threads to meet the requirements of concrete specimens with different thicknesses.

[0044] Assembly of the movable frame 15: On a horizontal workbench, lay the filler 16 in layers in the movable frame 15 in the order from bottom to top, with the thickness of each layer controlled at 10 to 15 cm. During the laying process, use a vibrating table to slightly compact it to ensure uniform porosity inside the filler 16.

[0048] Pressure and agitation system debugging: Connect the ventilation pipe 30 to the pressure gas source, start the pressure regulating valve body 32, slowly raise the internal pressure of the inner tank 9 to the preset value (such as 5 MPa), and observe the stability of the reading of the pressure gauge body 31; Start the agitation mechanism 4, adjust the rotation speed of the drive motor 37, and verify the agitation effect through the flow field simulation software to ensure that the water flow velocity difference around the inner tank 9 is less than 5%.
[0049] 3. Test stage Concrete pouring: Adopt the layered pouring process, control the thickness of each layer within 30 to 40 cm, use an inserted vibrator to vibrate it densely, and determine the vibration time according to the concrete slump (such as 15 to 20 s); During the pouring process, monitor the data of the detection component 14 in real time to ensure that the internal temperature and stress changes of the concrete meet the expectations.

[0054] Embodiment 2 In another preferred embodiment, on the basis of the above Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides a specific method for conducting tests using the anti-seepage wall concrete behavior evolution simulation test device. This method covers the whole process from the preparation of geologically adapted fillers to the monitoring of concrete behavior, aiming to accurately simulate the evolution of concrete behavior in the deep earth environment and provide a scientific basis for anti-seepage wall construction.
[0055] 1. Preparation of geologically adapted fillers and splicing of the movable frame 15 (1) Preparation of geologically adapted fillers: According to the actual geological strata conditions, analyze in detail the lithology, water content, thermal conductivity and other characteristics of different strata; determine the filling materials required for different activity frames 15, such as stones (simulating hard rock), water-containing sponges (simulating aquifers), crushed stones (simulating loose strata), etc.; fill the filling materials of different materials into each activity frame 15 in sequence to ensure that the filling materials are tightly and evenly distributed.
[0056] (2)Assembly of activity frame 15: Insert the restraint net 11 into the fixed seat 10 to ensure that the restraint net 11 is fixed and in the correct position; place the bottommost activity frame 15 between the inner wall of the inner tank 9 and the outer wall of the restraint net 11 to ensure that the activity frame 15 is placed stably; stack the subsequent activity frames 15 in sequence so that the T-shaped blocks 17 on the bottom activity frame 15 are accurately inserted into the rectangular slots 18 of the top activity frame 15; rotate the top activity frame 15 so that the T-shaped blocks 17 on the bottom activity frame 15 can smoothly move into the corresponding T-shaped slots 19 to complete the preliminary assembly of the activity frame 15.
[0057] 2. Fixing of activity frame 15 Stack the activity frames 15 to the specified height in sequence according to the requirements; during the stacking process, after the sliding rods 20 on the lower activity frame 15 are squeezed, they will automatically move downward, driving the fixed cones 23 to press the insertion rods 24 so that the insertion rods 24 can be smoothly inserted into the T-shaped blocks 17; the insertion of the insertion rods 24 limits the position of the T-shaped blocks 17 in the T-shaped slots 19, thereby effectively fixing the activity frame 15 and preventing it from moving relatively during the test; 3. Installation of sealing cover 28 Align the sliding rod 20 of the topmost activity frame 15 with the first extrusion ring 42 on the sealing cover 28; slowly lower the sealing cover 28 until the first extrusion ring 42 is pressed against the sliding rod 20 of the topmost activity frame 15; install the sealing cover 28 to the outside of the inner tank 9 through threaded connection and ensure that it is tightly fixed; check the sealing performance between the sealing cover 28 and the inner tank 9 to ensure no leakage.
[0058] 4.
