Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge model testing, and more particularly to a locking limit testing system with adjustable support point positions and stiffness. Background Art
[0002] Arch bridges, with their unmatched rigidity advantages over other bridge types, hold a crucial position in the construction of strategic transportation networks. Their ease of construction, high structural rigidity, and economical efficiency have rapidly made them the most competitive long-span bridge type in my country. However, the expansion of spans exacerbates the impact of numerous unfavorable factors during construction, such as nonlinear effects and the coupling of environmental and load conditions. This significantly increases the difficulty of designing, constructing, and controlling long-span arch bridges.
[0003] Model testing is favored by research institutions and universities because it allows for pre-construction rehearsals, simulates the mechanical properties of actual bridge structures, predicts actual structural responses, ensures bridge structural safety, and promotes innovation in bridge technology and theory. For example, Southwest Jiaotong University conducted full-bridge scaled model tests on the 410-meter-span Wanxian Yangtze River Bridge and the 445-meter-span Beipanjiang Bridge on the Shanghai-Kunming High-Speed Railway, ensuring the high-quality completion of the arch bridge structures. Chongqing Jiaotong University is currently conducting full-bridge scaled model tests at a 1:10 scale on the 600-meter-span Tian'e Longtan Bridge, the world's longest arch bridge, and is developing a comprehensive arch bridge testing platform.
[0004] Currently, research institutions and universities lack the limited-position test equipment required for model testing. However, large-scale full-bridge scale model testing is technically difficult, carries significant risks and costs, and test failure can result in significant economic losses and even safety incidents, effectively forcing success to the limit.
[0005] During the construction and testing of existing test models, the lateral stability of the structure is poor. To limit the lateral displacement of the structure, the traditional approach is to tension cables on the test body. However, this method can only prevent the structure from overturning and cannot constrain small deformations of the test body. In addition, the cable force is a single-point concentrated force, which is not conducive to the stress on the test body.
[0006] Therefore, how to provide an auxiliary device that can solve the source of test risks, ensure the smooth progress of the test, and have an adjustable support point and stiffness locking limit test system that is simple to assemble and can be reused, reducing costs and saving time is a problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a locking limit test system with adjustable support points and stiffness, which aims to solve one of the problems in the above-mentioned background technology. It is an auxiliary device that can solve the source of test risks, ensure the smooth progress of the test, and is simple to assemble and can be reused, reducing costs and saving time.
[0008] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

The force transmission grid boxes are relatively arranged on two of the splicing columns, the limiting grid plate is arranged at one end of the force transmission grid box away from the splicing columns, and the sliding fluorine plate is arranged at one end of the limiting grid plate away from the force transmission grid box, and the test body is arranged between the two sliding fluorine plates.
[0014] Furthermore, each of the spliced columns includes a bottom segment and a standard segment, the bottom segment is connected to the reaction base plate through ground anchor bolts, an end plate is arranged between the bottom segment and the standard segment, a stiffening column foot is arranged at the bottom of the bottom segment, and a plurality of bolt connection holes are arranged at intervals along the height direction in the standard segment of the spliced column.
[0015] Furthermore, the force transmission grid is fixed to the standard segment by the fastening bolts.
[0016] Furthermore, a tight-fitting plug pad is provided at one end of the ground anchor bolt away from the bottom segment, and the tight-fitting plug pad is used to fix the ground anchor bolt and the ground anchor hole.
[0017] Furthermore, the connecting beam is composed of a top plate, a bottom plate and a web plate. The ends of the top plate and the bottom plate are provided with rounded corners to optimize the stress of the components, and the ends of the web plate are provided with holes that match the bolt connection holes.

[0021] Through the above technical solutions, it can be known that compared with the prior art, the present invention discloses a locking limit test system with adjustable support points and stiffness. By setting bolt connection holes on the spliced columns, it can be detachably connected by tightening bolts. For different model tests, according to the actual required limit height, the standard sections of the spliced columns can be first extended and adjusted to the required height. Then, the vertical height of the support base on the spliced columns can be adjusted to constrain the test subject; by adjusting the constraint length of the screw, the test subject and the limit grid plate and the sliding fluorine plate can be closely matched, and the force transmission is reliable. At the same time, it can also be applied to test subjects with different cross-sectional widths; by adjusting the height of the connecting beam, it can be used as a temporary or permanent support for the test subject to ensure the safety of the structure; by adjusting the number of connecting beams and the position of the connecting beams in the height direction of the column, different support stiffnesses can be achieved; the surface-to-surface contact force transmission between the sliding fluorine plate and the test subject can ensure that the structure is subjected to reasonable force and deforms freely;
[0022] The use of assembled components allows for testing entities with varying support heights, cross-sectional heights, and widths. For arch bridge models, the span, rise, and cross-sectional area are all adjustable, making it suitable for almost all arch bridge model tests. Simultaneously, the force applied to the limiter and test entity is reasonable, ensuring smooth testing and overall structural safety. This system offers the advantages of simple assembly, stable structure, safe force distribution, economical and environmentally friendly operation, and durability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

It can also be applied to test bodies 12 with different cross-sectional heights; the force transmission grid box 7 is the main force-bearing component of the support base 6. The force transmission grid box 7 adopts the layout of a steel plate grid box, which is used to connect the support column and the limit grid plate 9, and a drilled steel plate is set on the connection side of the limit grid plate 9; the adjusting screw 8 is used to connect the force transmission grid box 7 and the limit grid plate 9 to transmit the lateral force constraining the test body 12 to the force transmission grid box 7; the sliding fluorine plate 10 is used to directly transmit force in surface contact with the test body 12 to prevent excessive local force from damaging the test body 12.
[0041] In this embodiment, each spliced column 1 includes a bottom segment and a standard segment. The bottom segment is connected to the reaction base plate 11 through a ground anchor bolt 2. An end plate is arranged between the bottom segment and the standard segment. A stiffening column foot is arranged at the bottom of the bottom segment.

[0056] S6: According to the finite element calculation results, in this specific embodiment, when the heights of the spliced columns 1 are 15m, 12m, and 9m, respectively, their lateral stiffnesses are 0.8t / mm, 0.67t / mm, and 1t / mm, respectively, and their ultimate bearing capacities are 89.3t, 72.3t, and 67.4t, respectively;
