Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of civil engineering testing devices and methods, specifically a testing device and method for the bearing stability of friction piles in expansive soil areas. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge construction in areas with expansive soil development generally faces three major challenges: First, the deteriorating characteristics of expansive soil, such as softening upon contact with water and cracking upon drying, lead to significant differences in foundation settlement. Traditional pile foundation + concrete beam structure systems are prone to uneven settlement, with cumulative settlement exceeding 300mm, seriously threatening the structural safety and driving comfort of bridges. Second, existing highways have high traffic volumes (over 100,000 vehicles per day). New bridges require temporary supports in the median strip of the roadbed. Traditional construction techniques cause significant disturbance to the existing road surface. Actual measurements show that the settlement joint opening caused by the support foundation construction can reach 5mm / day, posing a risk of inducing structural damage to the road. Third, the rainy season (annual rainfall of 1200mm) highly overlaps with the main construction period. Rainwater infiltration leads to an overconsolidation settlement rate of up to 20mm / day in expansive soil. In addition, restrictions on high-altitude welding operations extend the construction period of conventional steel-concrete composite beams with a single span of over 60m to more than 280 days, increasing labor and material consumption by 40% to 60% compared to plain areas.
[0003] The invention patent with announcement number CN117846045A discloses a pile foundation bearing capacity testing device and method. The main body is a pile body with a hydraulic jack at the bottom. In the end-bearing friction pile test, an upper static load is applied to the top of the pile body, and a load is applied at the bottom of the pile body by setting a hydraulic jack. Under the cooperation of the static load at the top of the pile body and the hydraulic jack at the bottom of the pile body, the mechanism of pile foundation service performance degradation under different ground temperatures and different pile side resistance and pile end resistance distribution ratios can be studied. Thus, the service performance of pile foundations under different pile side resistance and pile end resistance distribution ratios can be tested. Concrete is poured on the surface of the pile body of the pile foundation bearing capacity testing device to form a precast pile. After being driven into permafrost, the load service performance of the precast pile in the permafrost area can be tested. The pile foundation bearing capacity testing device is placed in the borehole and concrete is poured around the pile to achieve the service performance test of the bored cast-in-place pile.
[0004] However, existing testing equipment and methods focus on the bearing capacity testing of pile foundations in permafrost regions under single ground temperature conditions, without simulating the spatial heterogeneity of soil layers. The piles are directly placed into boreholes or molds, and the surrounding soil is usually uniformly filled, failing to reflect the influence of layered soil commonly seen in actual engineering on the distribution ratio of pile side resistance and pile end resistance. Furthermore, existing loading methods primarily rely on static loads at the pile top and axial loading using hydraulic jacks at the pile bottom, only enabling simple switching between axial static loads, pull-out loads, and end-bearing friction piles. They cannot simulate the horizontal cyclic loads that pile foundations may bear in actual engineering projects, thus failing to meet current needs. Summary of the Invention

S3: Saturation and Consolidation Treatment Airless water is injected into the pressure chamber through the bottom inlet, and the water level is controlled to 100mm above the pile top. An initial confining pressure of 50kPa is applied to saturate the soil. After the pore pressure coefficient B≥0.95, the consolidation pressure is applied in stages to the target value (50-500kPa). S4: Multi-condition loading test Static loading: Apply axial load at a rate of 0.02 mm / min until the pile top displacement reaches 10% of the pile diameter, and record the load-displacement curve; Cyclic loading: A horizontal cyclic load is superimposed on the axial static load, with 100 to 1000 cycles, and the changes in pile strain and soil pore pressure are monitored.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-3 This application provides a testing device for the bearing stability of friction piles in expansive soil areas, comprising a multi-layer soil simulation system 1: consisting of a detachable layered pressure chamber 11, containing at least three independent cavities. The cavities are connected by a combination of flanges and rubber sealing rings. The bottom of the upper cavity extends outward to form a flange, and the top of the lower cavity is correspondingly provided with a recessed flange groove to ensure tight connection and good sealing between layers. Each cavity is equipped with a porous support plate and a flexible sealing layer at its bottom. The porous support plate is made of stainless steel or high-strength plastic, with evenly distributed round holes or hollow grids, and a permeable non-woven fabric is laid on top of it. Alternatively, a rubber membrane can be used to prevent soil from falling off and to meet the testing requirements under saturated and unsaturated conditions. Each pressure chamber has an adjustable through hole at its geometric center for vertical insertion of the pile. The hole diameter is larger than the diameter of the pile 21. An elastic sealing sleeve made of silicone rubber or polyurethane is built into the hole wall. The inner wall of the sleeve is machined with an annular groove to embed an O-ring seal. This allows for vertical penetration of the pile 21 while effectively ensuring the sealing of the pressure chamber and the stability of the pile 21 under dynamic loading. The bottom chamber is fixed to the pressure chamber base 12, and the top of the top chamber is fixed with a pressure chamber top plate 13, forming a complete soil simulation space.
[0024] In this invention, each cavity can be independently filled with soil of different physical parameters (including moisture content, density, particle size distribution, cohesion, internal friction angle, permeability coefficient, etc.) to simulate a heterogeneous expansive soil layer. Flexible interface sensors 14 are installed between the layers to monitor relative displacement. Four to six probes of the flexible interface sensors 14 are evenly arranged around the circumference to contact the interlayer rubber sealing ring. Displacement gauge probes contact the bottom of the upper cavity and the top of the lower cavity to monitor relative sliding displacement between layers. A contact linear displacement sensor (LVDT) is used, and the sensor is fixed to a pressure... The chamber support has a micro-metal plate installed at the probe end, which contacts the interlayer rubber sealing rings at the bottom of the upper chamber and the top of the lower chamber respectively, to monitor the relative sliding displacement between layers in real time. The layered pressure chamber 11 is made of transparent plexiglass, and the inner wall of the chamber is set with scale lines to accurately control the soil filling thickness and ensure the accuracy of the test data. The layers are watertightly isolated by rubber sealing rings. Each layer of the chamber has an adjustable through hole at the center, with a hole diameter 2-3 mm larger than the diameter of the pile 21, and an internal elastic sealing sleeve (made of silicone rubber) to achieve vertical penetration and dynamic sealing of the pile.
[0025] In this invention, the variable parameter friction pile 2: The pile body 21 adopts a modular combination structure. The mandrel is made of stainless steel hollow cylinder with a pre-set wire groove inside for the laying and protection of sensor wires. The bottom end of the mandrel is fixed to the pressure chamber base 12 by a flange to ensure the stability of the pile body. The pile body 21 includes a detachable pile body outer sleeve 22. The surface of the outer sleeve 22 is provided with a roughness adjustment module. The surface roughness of the pile body can be simulated by changing the sleeve with different textures or adjusting the surface protrusion height. The roughness adjustment module is a detachable threaded sleeve, a boss sleeve, or a smooth sleeve. It is fixed to the outside of the pile body mandrel by an elastic positioning ring (rubber material) and bolts. The three sleeves have different surface roughnesses. Different surface roughnesses of the pile body 21 can be simulated by changing the sleeve or adjusting the surface protrusion height (range of 0.5 to 5 mm). An O-ring is provided between the sleeve and the mandrel. Two to three annular grooves are opened on the contact surface to prevent soil particles from intruding and ensure the reliability of the pile structure.
[0026] The multi-directional dynamic loading system 3 of this invention includes an axial hydraulic loading device 31 and a horizontal cyclic loading device 32. The axial loading device 31 uses a servo hydraulic jack, which is set in the center of the top plate 13 and fixed to the external base by a gantry frame to avoid disturbing the soil and can accurately apply axial loads. The horizontal loading device 32 is implemented by a miniature jack embedded in the middle of the pile body. It can apply cyclic loads of sine, triangular, or square waves with a frequency of 0.1 to 5 Hz. The load amplitude is 20% to 80% of the static ultimate load. The horizontal cyclic loading device 32 includes two sets of orthogonally arranged miniature jacks, which are respectively set at the connection of adjacent cavities. The loading is achieved by a ball screw driven by a servo motor. It can simulate various actual working conditions such as horizontal thrust of soil and wave cyclic load.
[0027] In this invention, the multi-parameter monitoring system 4 integrates multiple sensors to achieve real-time and accurate monitoring of multiple physical quantities during the experiment. The multi-parameter monitoring system 4 includes a pore pressure sensor 41, a soil moisture content sensor 43, a pile strain gauge 42, and a three-dimensional laser displacement gauge 44. Sensor signals are uploaded to the data processing terminal in real time via a wireless transmission module. The multi-parameter monitoring system 4 also includes a temperature and humidity sensor 45 for monitoring environmental parameters within the layered pressure chamber 11. The data processing terminal has a built-in BP neural network model that can invert the shear strength parameters of the pile-soil interface in real time. The pile strain gauge 42 is attached to the surface of the pile mandrel and positioned near the upper and lower ends of the roughness module and the horizontal loading point. The wires are led out through internal wire grooves.
[0028] In this invention, 1 to 2 pore pressure sensors 41 are arranged in the middle and bottom of each layer of the layered pressure chamber 11, specifically at half the height of each soil layer and 50 mm below the interlayer interface, to monitor the changes in pore water pressure in each layer of heterogeneous soil. The sensors in the layered soil are embedded in the soil during sample preparation using a "positioning before filling" method. They are fixed to pre-set holes in the side wall of the chamber by supports. The diameter of the holes is 2 to 3 mm larger than the outer diameter of the sensors, and the surrounding area is sealed with Vaseline to prevent water leakage.
[0029] In this invention, one set of pile strain gauges 42 is arranged 50mm below the loading end of the pile top and 100mm above the pile bottom to monitor stress concentration at the pile end; another set is arranged every 150-200mm along the pile axis, with a focus on the upper, middle and lower ends of the roughness adjustment module to capture the distribution of bending moment and shear force in the pile; before the strain gauges are pasted, the surface of the mandrel is polished, coated with special adhesive (such as cyanoacrylate), and covered with a waterproof protective layer (such as silicone rubber); the wires are led out through a pre-set spiral wire groove inside the mandrel, with a groove diameter of 3-5mm, and a certain amount of slack is reserved in the groove to prevent the pile from deforming and breaking the wires.
[0030] In this invention, one moisture content sensor 43 is arranged at the geometric center of each cavity, at a horizontal distance of 2-3 times the pile diameter, to avoid disturbance of soil moisture content by pile loading. An additional sensor is installed 10mm above the interface between two adjacent soil layers to monitor the water migration characteristics at the interface of heterogeneous soil layers. A needle-type sensor is used, which is vertically inserted into the soil to a set depth during sample preparation. The sensor wire is led out through a sealed joint on the side wall of the pressure chamber, and the joint is sealed with epoxy resin. The sensor is wrapped with water-permeable gauze to prevent soil particles from entering the electrode gap and affecting the measurement accuracy.
[0031] In this invention, a three-dimensional laser displacement meter 44 is set above the center of the pressure chamber top plate 13, aligned with the reflective target at the top of the pile, to monitor the axial displacement and horizontal offset of the pile top. On the transparent organic glass outer wall of the layered pressure chamber 11, laser measuring points are set every 50 mm along the radial direction of the pile body to monitor the settlement or heave deformation of the soil surface, with a measuring point spacing of 100-200 mm.
[0032] In this invention, one temperature and humidity sensor 45 is arranged at the top and one at the bottom of the layered pressure chamber 11 to monitor the temperature and humidity changes of the test environment and avoid the influence of environmental parameter fluctuations on the mechanical properties of the soil; a miniature integrated sensor is used and fixed to the side wall of the pressure chamber with double-sided adhesive.
[0033] The intelligent control system 5 in this invention integrates a PLC controller and a touch screen, which can preset the loading path (stress control / strain control) and dynamically adjust the loading rate and load amplitude according to monitoring data.
[0034] Example 2 Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, wherein a method for testing the bearing stability of friction piles in expansive soil areas includes the following steps: S1: Preparation of Heterogeneous Soil Layer Model Based on the target soil layer parameters, orthogonal experimental design was used to determine the combination scheme of physical parameters of the layered soil, including cohesion, internal friction angle and permeability coefficient. Soil with different properties was filled into each of the 11 stratified pressure chambers. During the filling process, the compaction error of each soil layer was strictly controlled to be ≤1%. Flexible displacement sensors were installed at the interlayer interface to complete the construction of the heterogeneous soil layer model.
[0035] S2: Friction pile installation and sensor deployment The assembled variable parameter friction pile 2 is vertically inserted into the center of the layered pressure chamber 11 to ensure that the pile 21 penetrates the soil to the design depth. The pile strain gauge 42, pore pressure sensor 41 and moisture content sensor 43 are connected in sequence, and the zero point of each sensor is calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the monitoring data.
[0036] S3: Saturation and Consolidation Treatment Airless water is injected into the pressure chamber through the bottom inlet, and the water level is controlled to 100mm above the pile top. An initial confining pressure of 50kPa is applied to saturate the soil. After the pore pressure coefficient B≥0.95, consolidation pressure is applied in stages to the target value. The consolidation process can adopt two modes: isotropic consolidation and K0 consolidation. The natural stress state of the soil is simulated by adjusting the lateral constraint coefficient of the pressure chamber.
[0037] S4: Multi-condition loading test Static loading: Apply axial load at a rate of 0.02 mm / min and continuously record the load-displacement data at the top of the pile until the displacement at the top of the pile reaches 10% of the pile diameter, and obtain the static bearing capacity curve of the friction pile.
[0038] Cyclic loading: On the basis of axial static load, a horizontal cyclic load is superimposed, and the number of cycles is set to 100 to 1000 times; the loading waveforms such as sine wave, triangular wave or square wave can be selected, and the load amplitude is 20% to 80% of the static ultimate load to simulate actual working conditions such as vehicle load and wave load, and simultaneously monitor the changes in pile strain and soil pore pressure.
[0039] S5: Data Acquisition and Analysis The intelligent control system collects data from various sensors in real time and transmits it to the data processing terminal. It analyzes the dynamic response characteristics of the soil under cyclic loading through Fourier transform, fits the distribution curve of pile side friction based on hyperbolic model, quantitatively evaluates the influence of heterogeneous soil layer on the bearing stability of friction pile, and conducts in-depth research on the pile-soil interaction mechanism.
[0040] S6: Post-test processing After the test, the pressure chamber was slowly unloaded under the control of the PLC controller, and the layered cavities were disassembled in order from top to bottom. The friction pile was carefully removed, the failure morphology of the pile-soil interface was observed, and high-definition photos were taken to record the failure characteristics. The layered soil samples were subjected to CT scans, and the internal damage distribution of the soil was analyzed using professional image processing software. Combining the test data and analysis results, the bearing capacity law of friction piles in expansive soil areas was summarized, providing a scientific basis for the design and optimization of pile foundation engineering.
[0041] This invention, through the collaborative design of a layered pressure chamber, a variable roughness pile body, and a multi-parameter monitoring system, forms a set of friction pile bearing stability testing systems suitable for heterogeneous soil layers.
