TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of geotechnical engineering test and measurement technology, in particular to a static cone penetration positioning method and a smart static cone penetration system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Static cone penetration is a kind of in-situ test technology in geotechnical engineering, which penetrates the probe into the soil layer at a constant rate through static force, and can continuously measure the cone tip resistance, side friction resistance and pore water pressure, thereby reflecting the properties of the soil to be tested. Due to its advantages of convenience, high sensitivity, and the ability to obtain continuous data within the penetration depth range, static cone penetration is also widely used in soil model tests, and is usually used to judge the uniformity of the test soil or detect the changes in the properties of the test soil at different positions. Since the process of static cone penetration probe penetrating into the soil will disturb the soil and change the properties of the soil near the penetration point, an influence range of the static cone penetration probe is formed, which is generally represented by a circular range with the probe as the center, also known as the static cone penetration influence range. In the process of model test, the distance between two adjacent static cone penetration points should be greater than the influence range of the static cone penetration, so as to ensure that the static cone penetration data can truly reflect the properties of the soil and are not affected by the disturbance of adjacent static cone penetration.
[0003] In the prior art, multiple static cone penetration tests with different distances are needed in the uniform test soil, and the minimum distance that ensures the same test results is taken as the influence range by comparing the test results of different distances. However, this method is only theoretically feasible, and there are the following problems in actual implementation: (1) Static cone penetration has high sensitivity, and it is inevitable that the test soil will be uneven during preparation, which will make it difficult to obtain the same results even if the distance between two static cone penetrations is greater than the influence range; (2) The results of static cone penetration are continuous curves of each index (cone tip resistance, side friction resistance, and pore water pressure) changing with depth, and there is currently no objective and unified evaluation standard for whether the curves of two static cone penetrations are consistent. In actual operation, the curves are often compared by visual inspection of the curve shape and comparison of landmark points (such as maximum value and inflection point), which highly depends on the personal experience and subjective consciousness of the researchers, resulting in poor reliability of the results; (3) This method requires multiple static cone penetrations, and there needs to be enough distance between different groups of static cone penetrations to avoid mutual influence, so a lot of space is needed, which leads to the need to prepare test soil again for formal test after determining the influence range, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the properties of the test soil in two tests. In summary, the prior art cannot obtain an accurate influence range, and in actual test process, the distance between static cone penetration points is often increased as much as possible to avoid mutual influence, which leads to the inability to finely explore the changes in the properties of the test soil.

[0029] See also fig. 1 The present invention provides a static penetration positioning method for determining the penetration influence range of the static penetration probe in the test soil and controlling the spacing of the static penetration points accordingly. The static penetration positioning method includes the following steps:
[0030] S1. Test preparation: Prepare the test soil in the test box.
[0031] The test soil requires uniform properties. Preferably, in this embodiment, a certain amount of water is injected into the test soil surface to form a water layer. The depth of the water layer (the distance from the water surface to the test soil surface) is 3 to 5 times the length of the cone tip of the static penetration probe, with a smaller multiple being used for larger static penetration probes. The purpose of the water layer is to maintain saturation in the soil and probe, preventing air from entering the pore pressure sensor strain chamber after liquid loss from the probe, affecting the probe's saturation and ensuring the accuracy of the pore pressure sensor test data. By providing a surface water layer, the static penetration probe is immersed in water before entering the soil layer, ensuring that no air enters the pore pressure strain chamber, keeping the static penetration probe saturated throughout the penetration process.
[0032] Preferably, the average particle size d of the test soil 50 Not exceeding the diameter d of the static penetration probe c The central area of the test soil is set as the test area for subsequent tests. The test area is sufficiently far from the inner wall of the test chamber to ensure that the test area is not affected by boundary effects. The area outside the test area is the non-test area.
[0033] Preferably, the sensor in the static penetration probe is also calibrated, wherein the sensor in the static penetration probe is used to realize the cone tip resistance q c , side wall friction f s The measurement of pore water pressure u is based on a conventional static penetration probe structure. Its structure and principles are well-known and will not be described in detail. During calibration, the static penetration probe is placed in water and saturated with vacuum before subsequent penetration. Pre-calibration and saturation in water ensures that no air in the probe interferes with the pore pressure sensor test results, ensuring stable probe performance during the test and closer-to-realistic measurement results, thereby improving the reliability and effectiveness of the entire static penetration test.

The control mechanism controls the movement of the positioning and penetration mechanism, so that the penetration depth z of the static sounding probe at a certain time can be determined through the control mechanism, and the corresponding q c —z curve, f s —z curve and u—z curve are obtained accordingly. The control mechanism can include a computer system or other suitable structure, as long as it has the functions of data acquisition, storage, calculation and control instruction sending.

For a certain depth, the penetration influence range of the static sounding probe is regarded as a circular area with the static sounding probe as the center, and the penetration influence ranges at different depths are different, that is, the radii R I of the circular areas are different. I The maximum value of R is the maximum influence range, and is denoted as the maximum range radius R0.
[0039] In the embodiment, R is preferably I The calculation method of R is as follows:

Since p0 and q t both vary with the depth, the R I curve with the penetration depth z is obtained. I —z curve.
[0042] In another embodiment, when the test soil is saturated soft clay, R I can also be determined by using the following calculation formula: ,
[0043] In the formula, E is the elastic modulus of the test soil, with a unit of kPa, v is the Poisson's ratio of the test soil, c is the cohesion of the test soil, with a unit of kPa, d c is the diameter of the static cone, with a unit of cm. E, v and c are all characteristics of the test soil itself, and can be determined according to the parameters during preparation or measured by existing conventional tests.

[0045] In the embodiment, the static cone probe is also provided with a small bottle containing water before the penetration operation starts, and the static cone probe is immersed in the water in the small bottle. Before the penetration into the test soil, the small bottle is removed, so as to ensure that the calibrated static cone probe is kept in a water-saturated state as much as possible before being penetrated into the soil layer, thereby improving the measurement accuracy. The penetration is also carried out in the non-test area of the test soil, and preferably, the penetration speed of the static cone probe is the same as that in the first penetration, that is, v>30cm / min. v c The detection data of the second penetration of the static cone probe are also obtained automatically by the control mechanism.
