[0002] Artificial accumulations are widespread across various engineering and construction sectors, such as slag heaps, spoil dumps, and construction waste mounds. Due to their large size, loose internal structure, and sensitivity to environmental disturbances, particularly rainfall and earthquakes, they represent a potential, high-risk source of debris flows. Research on these accumulations is urgently needed to prevent disasters, protect life and property, maintain ecological and environmental health, and promote sustainable resource use and responsible development. This multidisciplinary research possesses both strong theoretical value and practical urgency. As global engineering activities and resource development continue to grow, studying these "human-created landslide / debris flow hazards" will become increasingly important.

[0003] Dangerous artificial deposits, such as slag heaps, are typically large and high. Under the influence of periodic rainfall over many years, these deposits can form high water levels, posing a significant risk of instability. Field tests, however, lack the necessary experimental conditions and are unable to control the required extreme test conditions, making it impossible to achieve the desired research objectives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an indoor model test device to investigate the instability of artificial deposits at high water levels. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] An indoor model test device for the instability of artificial accumulation at high water level, as shown in the attached Figure 1 ~Attached Figure 4 As shown, it includes a rectangular model box 1, a support frame 2 is provided on the right side of the model box 1, a rectangular water tank 3 is installed on the support frame 2, the water tank 3 and the model box 1 are connected, and a prefabricated tempered glass 4 is provided at the connection between the water tank 3 and the model box 1, and a plurality of circular holes are opened on the prefabricated tempered glass 4, a water tank inlet pipe 5 and a water tank drain pipe 6 are installed on the water tank 3, a water tank inlet valve 7 and a pressure pump 8 are installed on the water tank inlet pipe 5 in sequence from the water inlet end to the drain end, a model box drain pipe 9 is installed at the bottom of the model box 1, and a model box drain valve 10 is installed on the model box drain pipe 9, an artificial accumulation body 11 is placed inside the model box 1, and a loading mechanism is provided on the top of the artificial accumulation body 11; The loading mechanism includes a reaction frame 12, the upper end of the reaction frame 12 is fixed to the inner top wall of the model box 1, the lower end of the reaction frame 12 is fixed with a digital jack 13, the lower end of the digital jack 13 is provided with a horizontal pad 14, and the lower surface of the horizontal pad 14 is in contact with the top of the artificial pile 11.

[0021] In the present invention, the water tank 3 is placed on the top of the support frame 2 in order to lift the water tank 3 to the top height of the artificial accumulation body 11, so as to simulate the high water level infiltration from the top of the artificial accumulation body 11, such as after a long period of rainfall, the extreme conditions of high water level formed by periodic rainfall are reproduced; the water tank inlet pipe 5, the water tank inlet valve 7 and the pressure pump 8 play the role of controlling the water inlet volume. After the water level reaches the specified height, the pressure pump 8 and the water tank inlet valve 7 are closed. When the water level drops by 3cm-5cm, the pressure pump 8 and the water tank inlet valve 7 are opened to replenish water to restore the water level height, so as to maintain the water level height at a predetermined height during the test, thereby maintaining a steady high water level seepage and accurately simulating long-term rainfall conditions; the digital jack 13 uses the supporting effect of the reaction frame 12 to apply a load to the artificial accumulation body 11, thereby pressurizing the top of the artificial accumulation body 11, and the horizontal pad 14 plays the role of uniformly transferring the load.

[0022] The model box 1 comprises a rectangular steel frame, on which a top plate, a bottom plate and four side plates are mounted, and the four side plates are all made of transparent tempered glass.

[0023] The model box 1 is provided with square grids 15 on the side panels arranged along the length direction thereof.

[0024] The length and width of the square grid 15 are both 10 cm.

[0025] In the present invention, the model box 1 accommodates the artificial pile 11 and provides a deformation observation surface; the side panels made of transparent tempered glass allow direct observation of the deformation of the artificial pile 11; when a load is applied to the high-water-level artificial pile 11, due to the high water level inside the artificial pile 11, the artificial pile 11 is prone to slope deformation. The square grid 15 not only facilitates water level observation, but also can quantify slope deformation displacement and provide accurate deformation data; the model box drain pipe 9 serves to discharge seepage water.

[0026] The water tank 3 is made of transparent tempered glass.

[0027] A layer of permeable geotextile is attached to the prefabricated tempered glass 4 .

[0028] A circular hole is opened on the prefabricated tempered glass 4 to connect the water tank 3 and the model box 1, and a permeable geotextile is attached to achieve the effect of water permeability but soil impermeability, which can prevent particles of the artificial deposit 11 from entering the water tank 3 and reduce the mass loss of the artificial deposit 11.

[0029] The model box 1 has a length of 3 m, a width of 1 m and a height of 1.5 m.

[0030] The water tank 3 has a length of 1 m, a width of 0.5 m and a height of 0.7 m.

[0031] A water tank drain valve 16 is installed on the water tank drain pipe 6 .

[0032] During the indoor simulation experiment, the test preparation is first carried out: an artificial pile 11 is filled in the model box 1, and the density thereof simulates that of an actual slag pile; then a high water level simulation is carried out: the water tank inlet pipe 5 is connected to the water source, and the water tank drain valve 16 is checked to be closed. The pressure pump 8 and the water tank inlet valve 7 are opened to fill the water tank 3 with water, so that the water flows into the model box 1 through the prefabricated tempered glass 4 with circular holes. When the water level reaches a predetermined height, the water tank inlet valve 7 is closed; then the load is applied: the digital display jack 13 is started, and the artificial pile 11 is uniformly pressurized through the horizontal pad 14. The deformation of the artificial pile 11 in the square grid 15 is observed in real time and the deformation is corrected. Make a record. It should be noted that when the water level in the model box 1 drops by 3cm-5cm, it is necessary to reopen the pressure pump 8 and the water tank inlet valve 7 to replenish water, and circulate to maintain the water level stable; then conduct instability observation: when the deformation data reaches the preset value or an obvious slip surface appears on the artificial accumulation body 11, it is judged to be unstable. At this time, the load is maintained, and the model box drain valve 10 is opened to collect the seepage water and record it; finally, relevant data analysis is performed, thereby completing the use of this device; it overcomes the problems of existing field tests that cannot simulate extreme conditions, especially the high water level seepage environment formed by periodic rainfall, and the lack of indoor controllable test equipment.
