Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of concrete compression test in civil engineering and the field of freeze-thaw cycle test, and in particular to a concrete compression test device capable of simulating freeze-thaw cycles. Background Art

[0002] Concrete materials are affected by numerous factors during construction and use, which can reduce the durability and lifespan of the structure. Freeze-thaw cycles are the primary factor impacting concrete durability. The internal pore water in concrete expands upon freezing and relaxes upon dissolution, generating fatigue stress and causing gradual erosion and damage to the concrete. Freeze-thaw cycles also reduce concrete strength, impacting the structure's bearing capacity and stability. In cold regions of my country, the foundations of civil buildings and the dams of hydraulic projects are inevitably subject to freeze-thaw cycles, presenting significant challenges to project design, construction, and maintenance.

[0003] At present, engineers mainly use model tests and numerical simulations to study the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the strength of concrete materials. Model tests create more reasonable conditions and obtain more realistic data, so they are more widely used in research. However, there are several issues that need to be noted during the test: (1) The influence of groundwater levels needs to be considered in the engineering environment. Changes in groundwater levels will affect the contact area of ​​the main structure during freeze-thaw cycles. (2) During the test, temperature changes and the duration of freeze-thaw cycles need to be strictly controlled to more realistically simulate the actual situation on site. (3) The environments of structural components that suffer freeze-thaw damage in water conservancy projects and construction projects are different. The dam body is mainly subjected to the action of water, while the building foundation is mainly subjected to the action of soil pressure and superstructure load.

[0061] Example 7

[0062] Based on Example 1, the drain valve 15, drain pump 16, inlet valve 17, and inlet pump 18 are installed on the drain pipe 13 and inlet pipe 14, respectively, and are connected to the water tank motor 19 via a wire 31. A water level sensor 20 is installed at the top of the environmental chamber 1 and is connected to a computer 30 via a wire 31. The water tank motor 19 is also connected to the computer 30 via a wire. The water level measured by the water level sensor 20 is used by the computer 30 to control the opening and closing of the drain valve 15, drain pump 16, inlet valve 17, and inlet pump 18, thereby achieving water supply and drainage within the environmental chamber.

[0063] Example 8

[0064] On the basis of Example 1, the temperature control box 21 is connected to the environmental box 1 through the exhaust pipe 22 and the air inlet pipe 23. The axial flow fan 27 is connected to the temperature control box motor 28.

[0065] Example 9

[0066] Based on Example 8, the air inlet duct 23 is composed of two parallel pipes, which are respectively connected in series to an air cooler 25 and an air heater 26. The air inlet duct 23 is connected to an axial flow fan 27. An air control valve 24 is installed on the exhaust duct 22 to adjust the exhaust capacity of the exhaust duct 22.

[0067] Example 10

[0068] On the basis of Example 1, the temperature sensor 29 is installed on the top of the environmental chamber 1 and is connected to the wind control valve 24 , the air cooler 25 and the air heater 26 through wires 31 .

[0069] Example 11

[0070] Based on Example 10, the air control valve 24, air chiller 25, and air heater 26 are each connected to a temperature control box motor 28 via a wire 31. The temperature control box motor 28 is also connected to a computer 30 via a wire 31. The temperature of the environmental chamber is obtained by a temperature sensor 29, and the computer 30 controls the opening and closing of the air chiller 25 and air heater 26 to adjust the temperature within the environmental chamber and implement a freeze-thaw cycle.

[0071] Example 12

[0072] On the basis of Example 1, the test box, water supply and drainage system, temperature control system, and data control system are respectively connected to the base plate 32 by high-strength bolts.

[0073] The operating principle of the present invention is as follows: the loading system, water supply and drainage system, and temperature control system are each connected to the test chamber. The pressure collector 9, water level sensor 20, and temperature sensor 29 are each connected to a computer 30 via a wire 31, and the measured data is transmitted to the computer 30. In the loading system, the jack 7 is connected to the pressure collector 9 and the computer 30 via a wire 31. The computer 30 adjusts the load generated by the jack 7 based on the data feedback from the pressure collector 9. The jack 7 pushes the hydraulic piston 8 to apply the load to the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic pipe 10. Under the pressure of the hydraulic piston 8, the hydraulic oil transmits pressure to the loading plate 11, causing the loading plate 11 to apply pressure to the concrete specimen. The data from the pressure collector 9 and pressure conversion can be used to obtain the pressure value acting on the concrete specimen at the time of failure. In the water supply and drainage system, the water inlet pipe 14 and the water outlet pipe 13 are each connected to the environmental chamber 1 and are equipped with a water inlet valve 17, a water inlet pump 18, a water outlet valve 15, and a water outlet pump 16. The water inlet valve 17, water inlet pump 18, drain valve 15, and drain pump 16 are connected to the water tank motor 19 and computer 30 via wires 31, respectively. Computer 30 controls the water tank motor 19 based on data fed back by the water level sensor 20, opening the water inlet valve 17, water inlet pump 18, or the drain valve 15 and drain pump 16 to ensure water flow between the water tank 12 and the environmental chamber 1, achieving water supply and drainage. In the temperature control system, an exhaust pipe 22 is connected to the environmental chamber 1 at one end and to the outside environment through the temperature control chamber 21 at the other end. An air control valve 24 is installed on the exhaust pipe 22 and is connected to the temperature control chamber motor 28 and computer 30 via wires 31. Air is discharged from the environmental chamber 1 under the control of computer 30. The air inlet pipe 23 is composed of two parallel ventilation ducts, each connected to an air chiller 25 and an air heater 26. One end of the air inlet pipe 23 is connected to the environmental chamber 1, and the other end is connected, in sequence, to an axial fan 27, a temperature control chamber motor 28, and computer 30. The computer controls the temperature control box motor 28, turning on the axial flow fan 27, allowing the air inlet pipe 23 to discharge air into the environmental chamber 1. Based on the data fed back by the temperature sensor 29, the computer 30 controls the air chiller 25 or air heater 26 on and off, and sets the temperature of the air in the air inlet pipe 23, thereby regulating the temperature in the environmental chamber 1 and achieving a freeze-thaw cycle.

[0074] Application Example 1 Concrete compressive strength test under freeze-thaw cycle conditions

[0075] First, place the concrete specimen in the specimen chamber 4 and close the chamber door. Then, power on the computer 30. In the loading system software, adjust the height of the lifting sleeve of the jack 7 so that the loading plate 11 contacts the concrete specimen, secure the specimen, and close the environmental chamber door 1.

[0076] The water level control system software sets a control level, starts the water tank motor 19, opens the water inlet valve 17 and the water pump 18, and fills the environmental chamber 1 with water from the water tank 12. When the water level in the environmental chamber 1 reaches the control level, the water level sensor 20 transmits a signal to the computer 30, and the water supply and drainage control system software controls the water inlet valve 17 and the water pump 18 to close.

[0077] The freezing temperature value and melting temperature value of the water body in the environmental box 1, as well as the freeze-thaw cycle period and number are set in the temperature control system software. Start the temperature control box motor 28, turn on the axial flow fan 27, and turn on the air refrigerator 25 at the same time. Cold air will be blown into the environmental box 1 from the air inlet pipe 23. When the temperature drops to a specified value, the temperature sensor 29 will feed back the information to the computer 30, and the environmental box 1 will maintain a constant temperature for a certain period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air refrigerator 25 will be turned off, the air heater 26 will be turned on, and hot air will be blown into the environmental box 1 from the air inlet pipe 23. When the temperature rises to a specified value, the frozen water body begins to melt, the temperature sensor 29 will feed back the information to the computer 30, and the environmental box 1 will maintain a constant temperature for a certain period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air heater 26 will be turned off, the air refrigerator 25 will be turned on again, and the above process will be repeated to reach the specified number of cycles. When the air pressure in the environmental box 1 is too high, the temperature sensor 29 can feed back information to the computer 30 , and the computer 30 will open the air control valve 20 to allow the gas in the environmental box 1 to be discharged through the exhaust pipe 22 .

[0078] After the freeze-thaw cycle is complete, the drainage control system software opens drain valve 15 and drain pump 16, draining the water in environmental chamber 1 back to water tank 12. Once the water level sensor 20 detects the water level has dropped to a specified value, computer 30 controls the closure of drain valve 15 and drain pump 16. The temperature control system software also shuts down axial fan 27, air cooler 25, and air heater 26. The air pressure in environmental chamber 1 is then restored to its initial state via exhaust pipe 22.

[0079] The loading system software causes jack 7 to generate a vertical load, pushing loading plate 11 downward and compressing the concrete specimen. Pressure collector 9 then feeds information back to computer 30. When the force of loading plate 11 exceeds the compressive bearing capacity of the concrete specimen, the specimen fails under pressure, at which point computer 30 provides an indicator of the concrete's compressive strength.

[0080] Application Example 2: Monitoring test of stress state of dam body in water conservancy project under freeze-thaw cycle conditions

[0081] First, attach strain gauges to the interior of the dam model and connect them to the strain gauges. The wiring can be routed through the top opening of the environmental chamber 1. Place the dam model in the specimen chamber 4 and close the door. Turn on the power and computer 30. In the loading system software, adjust the height of the lifting sleeve of the jack 7 so that the loading plate 11 contacts the specimen. Secure the dam model and close the door of the environmental chamber 1.

[0082] The water level control system software sets a control level, starts the water tank motor 19, opens the water inlet valve 17 and the water pump 18, and fills the environmental chamber 1 with water from the water tank 12. When the water level in the environmental chamber 1 reaches the control level, the water level sensor 20 transmits a signal to the computer 30, and the water supply and drainage control system software controls the water inlet valve 17 and the water pump 18 to close.

[0083] The freezing temperature value and melting temperature value of the water body in the environmental box 1, as well as the freeze-thaw cycle period and number are set in the temperature control system software. Start the temperature control box motor 28, turn on the axial flow fan 27, and turn on the air refrigerator 25 at the same time. Cold air will be blown into the environmental box 1 from the air inlet pipe 23. When the temperature drops to a specified value, the temperature sensor 29 will feed back the information to the computer 30, and the environmental box 1 will maintain a constant temperature for a certain period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air refrigerator 25 will be turned off, the air heater 26 will be turned on, and hot air will be blown into the environmental box 1 from the air inlet pipe 23. When the temperature rises to a specified value, the frozen water body begins to melt, the temperature sensor 29 will feed back the information to the computer 30, and the environmental box 1 will maintain a constant temperature for a certain period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air heater 26 will be turned off, the air refrigerator 25 will be turned on again, and the above process will be repeated to reach the specified number of cycles. When the air pressure in the environmental box 1 is too high, the temperature sensor 29 can feed back information to the computer 30 , and the computer 30 will open the air control valve 20 to allow the gas in the environmental box 1 to be discharged through the exhaust pipe 22 .

[0084] During the freeze-thaw cycle, the stress state of the dam model is analyzed through data monitored by strain gauges.

[0085] Application Example 3: Monitoring test of stress state of civil building foundation under freeze-thaw cycle conditions

[0086] First, attach strain gauges to the interior of the foundation model and connect them to the strain gauges. The wiring can be routed through the opening at the top of the environmental chamber 1. Place the foundation model in the specimen chamber 4. Add the appropriate soil and compact it to simulate the surrounding environment of the foundation. Close the chamber door 4. Turn on the power and computer 30. In the loading system software, adjust the height of the lifting sleeve of the jack 7 so that the loading plate 11 contacts the specimen. Secure the specimen and close the environmental chamber door 1.

[0087] In the loading system software, the jack 7 generates a vertical load, pushing the loading plate 11 downward and compressing the foundation model. The pressure collector 9 feeds this information back to the computer 30. By adjusting the jack 7, the pressure generated by the loading plate 11 reaches a specified value, simulating the load on the upper part of the foundation.

[0088] The freezing and melting temperatures, as well as the number of freeze-thaw cycles, are set in the temperature control system software. The temperature control box motor 28 is activated, the axial flow fan 27 is turned on, and the air chiller 25 is simultaneously turned on. Cold air is blown into the environmental chamber 1 through the air inlet duct 23. When the temperature drops to a specified value, the temperature sensor 29 feeds information back to the computer 30, maintaining the constant temperature for a specified period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air chiller 25 is turned off, the air heater 26 is turned on, and hot air is blown into the environmental chamber 1 through the air inlet duct 23. When the temperature rises to a specified value, the temperature sensor 29 feeds information back to the computer 30, maintaining the constant temperature for a specified period of time. When the specified time is reached, the air heater 26 is turned off, the air chiller 25 is turned back on, and the above process is repeated for the specified number of cycles. If the air pressure in the environmental chamber 1 is excessive, the temperature sensor 29 feeds information back to the computer 30, which then opens the air control valve 20, allowing the air in the environmental chamber 1 to be discharged through the exhaust duct 22.

[0089] During the freeze-thaw cycle, the stress state of the basic model is analyzed through the data monitored by the strain gauge.
