Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a geotechnical material mechanical property testing technology, and in particular to a temperature and humidity controllable multifunctional geotechnical material mechanical property testing system. Background Art
[0002] Due to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, the temperature and humidity of the environment in which soil, structures, and geosynthetics are located have undergone significant changes, which have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of soil, structures, and geosynthetics interfaces. Therefore, it is necessary to study the strength of soil, the mechanical properties of the soil-structure interface, and the mechanical properties of geosynthetics under different temperature and humidity environments. However, existing equipment has significant deficiencies in environmental simulation. It cannot accurately control temperature and humidity conditions or the control range is limited (for example, it can only simulate normal temperature or a narrow range of temperature and humidity changes). It is difficult to reproduce the effects of complex environments (such as extremely low temperature, high temperature, or high humidity environments) on the mechanical properties of sand, geosynthetics, and the interface between soil and geosynthetics. In addition, experimental research involves multiple mechanical test types such as direct shear, pull-out, creep, crushing, and puncture. Traditional test equipment usually has a single function and can only be designed for specific test types. For example, a direct shear instrument is only used for shear tests, and a pull-out instrument is only used for interface pull-out tests. This results in the need to configure multiple devices in the laboratory, which takes up a lot of space, is costly, and the test process is cumbersome and inefficient. Therefore, the present invention realizes wide-range temperature and humidity environment simulation through a temperature and humidity combined control system, and integrates multiple mechanical testing functions such as direct shear, pulling, creep, crushing, stretching, and puncture through the modular standardized design of accessories, thereby meeting the testing of various mechanical properties of different materials under a temperature and humidity coupling environment.
[0003] Existing research on test instruments for measuring the effects of temperature and humidity on the mechanical properties of the soil-structure interface includes the following: Chinese invention patent number CN201711370202.5, "A Temperature-Controlled Shear Box Device for Direct Shear Testing," utilizes a constant-temperature water bath circulation system to control temperature, preventing direct water contact with soil samples, making it suitable for direct shear testing. However, the temperature and humidity control system is limited, lacking humidity control, and only supports direct shear testing of sandy soils. It cannot perform soil-structure interface testing, cannot simulate temperature-humidity coupled environments, and lacks integrated multifunctional features such as pulling, puncturing, and crushing.
[0004] The Chinese invention patent application number CN201811310485.9, "Integrated Direct Shear and Tensile Testing Device for Geosynthetics with Dynamic Loading," supports both static and dynamic loading, using a hydraulic system to integrate direct shear and tensile testing. However, it lacks environmental control, with no mention of a temperature and humidity control module, limiting testing to ambient temperatures. The data monitoring terminal does not integrate environmental parameters, making it impossible to analyze the impact of temperature and humidity on mechanical properties.
[0005] The Chinese invention patent "High and Low Temperature Direct Shear and Pull-Out Friction Tester" with patent application number CN202310289793.2 integrates a high and low temperature system (-20°C to 50°C) and supports direct shear and pull-out tests at extreme temperatures. It only focuses on temperature regulation and cannot achieve humidity control and temperature and humidity coupling tests. It focuses on direct shear and pull-out, lacking test modules such as puncture and crushing. There is no mention of achieving multi-functional integration by replacing accessories, and switching between test types is complicated.
[0006] The Chinese utility model patent application number CN202121477710.5, "Measurement and Control Device for Geosynthetics Direct Shear and Pullout Testing Machine," utilizes adjustable fixtures and square slots to accommodate specimens of varying sizes, supporting both direct shear and pullout testing. However, the device only supports direct shear and pullout testing, lacking multifunctional expansion capabilities. It lacks any temperature and humidity control capabilities, limiting testing to room temperature only. Compatibility with large specimens is not mentioned, suggesting it may only be suitable for small-scale testing.
[0007] In summary, how to design a device that can simultaneously realize temperature and humidity joint control and transformation of different mechanical testing functions is a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0068] Example 1
[0069] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a temperature and humidity controllable multifunctional geotechnical material mechanical property testing system. Through core innovations such as wide-range temperature and humidity joint control, modular multifunctional integration, adaptability to large-scale specimens, and long-term testing capabilities, as well as a standardized interface adapter block and a common push-pull rod and a retractable fixed rod, a single drive system is used to achieve multi-directional force loading, solving key problems such as the single function of traditional equipment, insufficient environmental simulation capability, and limited specimen size. It realizes direct shear / creep, pull-out, single particle crushing, geosynthetics stretching / puncture and other tests, and supports the study of the mechanical properties of large-scale specimens under extreme temperature and humidity coupling conditions.
[0070] Samples made of geotechnical materials include pure sand samples, soil and geosynthetics samples, and geosynthetics samples. Pure sand samples are used to explore the physical and mechanical properties of sand, soil and geosynthetics samples are used to explore the mechanical properties of the interface between soil and geosynthetics, and geosynthetics samples are used to explore the physical and mechanical properties of geosynthetics such as pulling and puncturing.
[0071] A multifunctional geotechnical material mechanical property testing system with controllable temperature and humidity includes a rack, an integrated environmental temperature control box, a loading component, a functional mode switching component, and a data acquisition component. The integrated environmental temperature control box, the loading component, the functional mode switching component, and the data acquisition component are all mounted on the rack.
[0072] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the integrated environmental temperature control chamber includes an environmental temperature and humidity chamber 12 at the front, a heating and cooling unit (a combination of semiconductors and compressor cooling), a humidifier 23, a dehumidifier, a fan 24, a circulating air duct, and a condensate collection box mounted on the rear side of the chamber 12. A temperature and humidity sensor 25 is mounted on the inner sidewall of the chamber 12, and a temperature and humidity adjustment panel 14 is mounted on the outer sidewall. Temperature and humidity sensors 25 are installed on the sample surface and inside the chamber 12. In combination with monitoring feedback from the system's external infrared temperature measurement module, dual data verification is implemented, ensuring more accurate measurement data.
[0073] The temperature and humidity control panel 14 can display and set temperature and humidity parameters in real time, supporting constant or dynamic temperature and humidity modes. By setting the temperature and humidity control panel parameters, air humidification is achieved and circulated through the fan 24 to ensure uniform temperature and humidity inside the box.
[0074] The circulating air duct ensures uniform distribution of temperature and humidity in the chamber (temperature fluctuation at different locations ≤±1°C, humidity fluctuation ≤±2%RH).
[0075] The condensed water collection box is connected to the humidifier 23. The humidified water flows into the condensed water collection box by gravity and circulates to the humidifier 23 for repeated use, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
[0076] The integrated environmental temperature control box has a temperature control range of -50°C to 200°C, with a temperature fluctuation of ≤±1°C; the humidity control range is 10%RH to 95%RH, with a humidity fluctuation of ≤±3%RH, and can simulate extreme natural environments (such as permafrost, island reef foundations, and coastal high-humidity environments).
[0077] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the environmental temperature and humidity chamber 12 is provided with a fixture track 6 and a test box track 7. There are two fixture tracks 6 and two test box tracks 7, each symmetrically mounted, extending parallel to the horizontal push-pull rod 5 of the horizontal force loading mechanism. The fixture tracks 6 are located close to the horizontal push-pull rod 5, and the distance between the two fixture tracks 6 is greater than the distance between the two test box tracks 7. A stop block 26 is provided between the two fixture tracks 6 and the two test box tracks 7. The stop block 26 is a rigid support primarily used to limit the sliding of the pull box and to secure the pull box when a pull force is applied to the geosynthetic.

One end of the horizontal push-pull rod 5 is connected to the horizontal threaded column 1 via a threaded fitting mechanism, and the other end extends to one side of the integrated environmental temperature control box. When the servo motor 2 rotates, it drives the horizontal threaded column 1 to rotate. The threaded fitting mechanism converts the rotational motion of the horizontal threaded column 1 into linear reciprocating motion of the push-pull rod. The horizontal sensor 4 is mounted on the horizontal push-pull rod 5 and connected to the data acquisition assembly. The horizontal sensor 4 includes a horizontal displacement sensor and a horizontal force sensor.
[0080] The vertical force loading mechanism includes a vertical pressure rod 11, a hydraulic servo module, and a vertical sensor 13. One end of the vertical pressure rod 11 is connected to the hydraulic servo module, and the other end is connected to one side of the integrated environmental temperature control box. The vertical sensor 13 is mounted on the vertical pressure rod 11 and connected to the data acquisition component. The vertical sensor 13 includes a vertical pressure sensor and a vertical displacement sensor.
[0081] The horizontal push-pull rod 5 and the vertical pressure rod 11 are perpendicular to each other. A fixed rod adjustment handwheel 8 and a horizontal fixed rod 9 are mounted on the side of the integrated environmental temperature control box opposite the horizontal force loading mechanism. The horizontal fixed rod 9 is parallel to the horizontal push-pull rod 5, with one end extending into the integrated environmental temperature control box and the other end connected to the fixed rod adjustment handwheel 8.
[0082] The functional mode switching component includes a shear creep mechanics test module, a pull-out mechanics test module, a tensile puncture mechanics test module and a single particle crushing mechanics test module, all of which are equipped with the same adapter.
[0083] like Figures 8 to 13 As shown, the shear creep mechanics test module includes an upper shear box 15, a lower shear box 16, a clamp 18 and a horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19; the upper shear box 15 has a variety of sizes, such as: 150*150*150, 300*300*150; the upper surface of the lower shear box 16 is provided with sand 17 or a clamp 18; the horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19 is placed on the clamp track 6, the lower shear box 16 is connected to the horizontal push-pull rod 5 through the horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19, and the lower shear box 16 is placed on the test box track 7 through a rail car.
[0084] like Figures 14 to 16As shown, the tensile mechanics test module includes a drawing box and a geosynthetic material clamp 20; the drawing box is placed on the test box track 7 by a rail car, and the vertical pressure rod 11 applies normal stress to the sample; the geosynthetic material clamp 20 is connected to the horizontal push-pull rod 5, and the horizontal push-pull rod 5 and the geosynthetic material clamp 20 apply tensile stress to the sample.

[0086] like Figure 18 As shown, the single particle crushing mechanical test module includes a lower shear box 16 and a vertical pressure plate; the lower shear box 16 is placed on the test box track 7 by a rail car, and a test pad is placed between the lower shear box 16 and the sample; the vertical pressure plate is connected to one end of the vertical pressure rod 11.
[0087] The adapter is connected to the horizontal push-pull rod 5 or the vertical pressure rod 11
[0088] The data acquisition component is connected to the integrated environmental temperature control box and the loading component. The horizontal sensor 4 and the vertical sensor 13 can monitor and record the force, displacement and deformation of the specimen in real time during long-term loading, ensuring high accuracy and continuity of the test data.
[0089] The significant advantages of the present invention are:
[0090] (1) Temperature and humidity control: The environmental temperature and humidity chamber 12 has a wide temperature control range (-50℃~200℃) (10%-95%RH), which can simulate the mechanical properties of geotechnical materials in extreme environments.

The horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19 has screw holes at the bottom and interfaces on the side. A pressure plate is provided on the surface of the test box track 7. The static and dynamic direct shear / creep tests on sand 17 and geogrid using this embodiment are performed as follows.
[0096] Step 1: Initial Tester Configuration: ① Align the screw holes at the bottom of the horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19 with the fixing bolts on the fixture track 6 and secure the horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19 with the bolts. ② Connect the horizontal push-pull rod 5 to the left and right interfaces of the horizontal push-pull rod adapter block 19 to ensure that the horizontal force loading mechanism is linked to the shear creep mechanics test module.
[0097] Step 2: Shear Box Assembly and Specimen Preparation: ① Bolt the lower shear box 16 to the bearing plate of the test box track 7 and install the lower shear box 16. The surface of the lower shear box 16 is provided with sand 17. ② Lay the geosynthetic material on the bottom of the upper shear box 15 and secure it with the clamp 18, ensuring that there are no wrinkles and that the material completely covers the contact surface. ③ Install the specimen into the gap between the upper and lower shear boxes 15 and 16. The specimen dimensions are 300 mm (length) × 300 mm (width) × 150 mm (height).
[0098] Step 3: Temperature and Humidity Environment Settings: ① Set the test chamber temperature to -20°C and humidity to 30% RH (simulating a frozen soil environment) using the temperature and humidity control panel 14. ② Start the humidifier 23 and fan 24 to ensure uniform temperature and humidity distribution within the chamber (fluctuation ≤ ±1°C, ±2% RH). ③ Preheat the specimen for 2 hours. After the temperature and humidity sensor 25 indicates stable parameters, begin the test.

If this is a cyclic shear test, set the leftward rotation to 10 degrees for 5 minutes and the rightward rotation to 10 degrees for 5 minutes, repeating this process six times. If this is a creep test, set the time according to the experimental design requirements. ③ The data acquisition system records stress, displacement, temperature and humidity data in real time, generating a coupled temperature and humidity-stress-strain curve.
[0100] Step 5: Test result analysis: ① Output shear stress-displacement curve, shear stress-displacement curve and creep rate, such as Figure 23 and Figure 24② Calculate the cohesion (c) and friction angle (φ) at the interface between geosynthetics and soil.

[0122] Step 2: Sample pretreatment: ① Select a single coral sand particle, clean it, and then dry it (80°C) to remove surface dust. ② Place the particle in an ambient temperature and humidity chamber 12, set the temperature to 40°C and the humidity to 5% RH, and preheat for 1 hour.
[0123] Step 3: Crushing Loading and Data Collection: ① Apply load at a rate of 0.5 mm / min to the vertical compression rod 11 until the particles break. ② Record the peak load and crushing morphology to analyze the effects of temperature and humidity on the compressive strength of the particles.
[0124] Step 4: Statistical analysis: ① Statistical analysis of the distribution of particle crushing strength under different temperature and humidity conditions. ② Generate a crushing strength-survival probability curve, such as Figure 31 As shown, the reliability of the granular material is evaluated.
