Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of building engineering, in particular to a soft soil foundation pile anti-pulling experimental reaction force system. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of building engineering, pile anti-pulling test is a key link to evaluate the bearing capacity of pile foundation under the action of upward pulling force, especially in soft soil foundation area, because the bearing capacity of foundation soil is low and the compressibility is high, the anti-pulling stability of pile foundation is directly related to the safety of the upper structure. As the core supporting equipment of anti-pulling test, the rationality, stability and economy of the structure of the reaction force system have important influence on the reliability of the test results and the efficiency of the project promotion.

[0003] The traditional pile anti-pulling test reaction force system mostly uses cast-in-place concrete piers or purchased standard steel structure supports. Although the cast-in-place concrete pier can provide larger bearing capacity, it has the problems of long construction period, large material consumption and difficult to reuse after forming, and is easy to crack due to uneven settlement of the foundation in soft soil foundation, affecting the test precision. Although the purchased standard steel structure support is convenient to install, it needs to rely on external equipment leasing or purchasing, which not only has high leasing cost, but also needs to bear additional time cost such as equipment transportation and coordination of access, and is difficult to adapt to the site conditions and test load requirements of different sites.

[0004] At the same time, the traditional reaction force system has obvious limitations in structural design: some steel structure supports are not optimized for the characteristics of soft soil foundation, the contact area of the support leg with the foundation is small, which is easy to cause excessive local pressure of the foundation and settlement; the main reaction beam mostly uses single steel section, which has insufficient bending stiffness and stability, and is easy to produce excessive deformation in large load test, resulting in distortion of test data; the strength of the connecting part of the component is insufficient, which may cause load transmission interruption or structural instability and other safety hazards.

[0005] In addition, a large amount of waste steel (such as idle steel plate, I-beam and channel steel) is usually generated on the construction site. If these steels are not reasonably utilized, not only the resources are wasted, but also additional cost is needed for disposal, which is contrary to the current development concept of green construction and circular economy. The traditional reaction force system does not consider the secondary utilization of resources on the construction site, which further increases the economic and environmental burden of the project.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of the present application is to provide a soft soil foundation pile anti-pulling experimental reaction force system to solve the problems in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0012] Preferably, the main reaction force beam, the leg and the foundation support base plate are all made of the construction site waste steel materials through cutting and welding processes.

[0013] Preferably, the foundation support base plate is an independent steel plate component and is fixedly connected to the bottom base plate of the leg through a load-bearing weld.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-sectional size and material properties of the main reaction force beam are determined according to the preset bending strength checking, so as to ensure that the maximum bending normal stress generated when the main reaction force beam bears the uplift test load is not greater than the design value of the bending strength of the material thereof.

[0015] Preferably, the cross-sectional size and material properties of the main reaction beam are also determined according to the preset stiffness check to ensure that the maximum deflection thereof under the design load is within the allowable deflection range.

[0016] Preferably, the cross-sectional size and length of the leg are determined according to the stability check as an axial compression member to ensure that the leg remains stable when subjected to axial compression.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom area of the foundation support pad is determined according to the allowable bearing capacity of the soft soil foundation to ensure that the pressure intensity exerted by the foundation support pad on the surface of the soft soil foundation is not greater than the allowable bearing capacity.

[0018] The present application provides a soft soil foundation pile uplift test reaction system. It has the following advantages: 1. The main reaction beam of the present application adopts a combined box structure, and the leg of the I-shaped steel column structure forms a cooperative force system. The main reaction beam is subjected to bending strength and stiffness check to ensure that the bending stress and deflection are controllable.

[0028] The main counter-force beam 1, the leg 2 and the foundation support pad 3 are all made of waste steel materials on the construction site through cutting and welding processes. Specifically, the main counterforce beam 1, the leg 2 and the foundation support pad 3 are all made of waste steel materials on the construction site through cutting and welding process. After the waste steel plates, I-beams and other steel materials on the construction site are detected to meet the mechanical property requirements, their sizes are adjusted through precise cutting, and then they are welded to form the required components. This way not only realizes the resource utilization of construction waste, reduces the manufacturing cost of equipment, but also reduces the time cost and environmental burden caused by the procurement and transportation of new materials.

[0029] The foundation support pad 3 is an independent steel plate component, which is fixedly connected with the bottom base plate 23 of the leg 2 through a load-bearing weld; Specifically, the foundation support pad 3 is an independent steel plate component, which is fixedly connected with the bottom base plate 23 of the leg 2 through a load-bearing weld.

[0030] The cross-sectional size and material properties of the main counterforce beam 1 are determined according to the preset bending strength check, to ensure that the maximum bending normal stress generated when the main counterforce beam 1 bears the uplift test load is not greater than the design value of the bending strength of the material; Specifically, the cross-sectional size and material properties of the main counterforce beam 1 are determined according to the preset bending strength check, to ensure that the maximum bending normal stress generated when the main counterforce beam 1 bears the uplift test load is not greater than the design value of the bending strength of the material.

[0034] Working principle: The main counterforce beam 1 is horizontally placed above the test pile as a core load-bearing component, which is formed by welding two back-to-back channel steels 11, an upper cover plate 12 and a lower cover plate 13 into a closed box section, greatly improving the bending stiffness and carrying capacity. The stiffening rib 14 arranged inside enhances the stability of the web of the channel steel 11, the end sealing plate 15 strengthens the integrity of the beam end, and the intermediate transverse stiffening plate 16 improves the mid-span shear capacity.

[0036] The foundation support pad 3 is used as the contact component of the system and the foundation, and is connected to the bottom of the support leg 2 by a load-bearing weld. The bearing capacity of the soft soil foundation is low, and the pad disperses the concentrated load transmitted by the support leg 2 into a surface load by increasing the stressed area. The bottom area of the pad is determined according to the allowable bearing capacity of the soft soil foundation to ensure that the pressure intensity applied to the surface of the foundation does not exceed the limit, thereby avoiding foundation settlement or damage and providing stable support for the system.

[0037] The system components are all made of construction site waste steel materials through cutting and welding processing, which not only realizes resource recycling and reduces cost, but also flexibly adapts to test requirements. During the test, the pulling force of the loading device is transmitted to the main counterforce beam 1 through the test pile, and then distributed to the supporting legs 2 by the main counterforce beam 1. The supporting legs 2 transmit the load to the foundation supporting pads 3, and finally the load is dispersed and transmitted to the soft soil foundation through the pads. In the whole process, the components work together through the preset strength, stiffness and stability checking mechanism to form a stable and reliable force transmission system, which provides accurate data support for the soft soil pile foundation uplift test, and has technical practicability and environmental protection and economy.
