Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering testing equipment technology, specifically to a device and method for testing the constant pressure difference seepage-shear coupling performance of soil-lining interface. Background Technology

[0002] Under conditions of sudden rise in groundwater level caused by extreme rainfall, the high pore water pressure gradient (large seepage pressure difference) formed at the tunnel soil-lining interface and the interfacial shear stress generated by relative soil movement will strongly couple. This seepage-shear coupling effect is a key mechanism for inducing interface sealing failure, seepage channel expansion, and even segment uplift failure. Accurately quantifying the comprehensive performance parameters of the interface (seepage shear strength, seepage flow evolution) under the coupled action of constant pressure difference seepage and shear load has become a key requirement for assessing such water hazard risks in shield tunnels and ensuring long-term safety.

[0003] Current soil-structure interface performance testing primarily relies on traditional equipment with separate functions. While standard direct shear apparatus can apply normal pressure and shear force, it cannot independently apply and stably maintain a constant seepage pressure differential across the interface. Permeameters, although capable of measuring seepage parameters, lack the ability to apply controllable shear loads. These devices and processes cannot achieve synchronous coupling of shear loading and seepage loading under constant seepage pressure gradient conditions. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately measure the change in seepage flow at the interface with shear displacement and its impact on the real-time degradation of interfacial frictional strength and cohesive strength under this complex coupling environment. In addition, existing methods lack the ability to simulate the deteriorating effect of wet-dry cycles on interfacial coupling performance under constant seepage pressure gradients, resulting in a lack of reliable experimental data to support key mechanical and permeability constitutive parameters.

[0010] A method for testing the constant pressure differential seepage-shear coupling performance of soil-lining interface includes the following steps: S1. Set up the test device clipboard Based on the engineering geological conditions, remolded soil is prepared as a soil sample, or field soil samples are taken, and the moisture content and compaction of the soil samples are adjusted to the required state for the test. A flexible film is used to wrap the outer wall of the tunnel segment sample to form a hydraulic transfer boundary and seal both ends of the tunnel segment sample; soil samples are layered and filled to the target height on the permeable stone base located at the bottom of the shear box; the tunnel segment sample wrapped with the flexible film is placed in the shear box and the soil samples are filled until completion. S2, Establishment of Initial Stress State Pre-set confining pressure is applied by injecting confining oil into the confining pressure chamber through the oil supply pipeline, achieving isobaric consolidation of the soil sample in the shear box; simultaneously, water is injected into the shear box through the water supply pipeline to apply a hydrostatic pressure benchmark value to the saturated soil zone and the lining back cavity. p 0, simulate the steady-state environment of groundwater; apply confining pressure and hydrostatic pressure until the soil stress field reaches a uniform distribution; Confining pressure is collected in real time using a sensor array. s conf Monitoring the normal stress of each soil layer s n Monitoring infiltration pressure p i and drainage pressure p o To determine whether the soil stress field is uniformly distributed, the condition for determining whether the soil stress field is uniformly distributed is: the normal stress in each layer of the soil... s n With confining pressure s conf Deviation ≤ 5%, and satisfy p i = p o = p 0; S3, Constant water pressure differential loading By adjusting the injection and drainage pressures of the water supply and drainage pipelines, the infiltration and drainage pressures are regulated, thereby establishing a target hydraulic gradient between the infiltration and drainage boundaries and maintaining the fluctuation range of the osmotic pressure difference Δp < 1 kPa, thus achieving the constancy of the hydraulic gradient during the seepage process. The formula for calculating the osmotic pressure difference is as follows: (1) In the formula, Δ p For the constant seepage pressure difference at the soil-lining interface, p i This refers to the infiltration boundary water pressure, which is the pressure at the interface between the water supply pipeline and the shear box. po This refers to the water pressure at the drainage boundary, i.e., the pressure at the interface between the drainage pipe and the shear box.

[0011] S4, seepage-shear coupling loading The shear loading devices located on both sides of the shear box are activated. Under the condition of maintaining a constant osmotic pressure difference Δp, a horizontal shear load is applied along the contact interface between the soil sample and the tunnel segment sample. The shear displacement and the shear force value at the soil-lining interface are monitored by a sensor array to achieve complete spatiotemporal coupling between the seepage field and the stress field. Specifically, the action of the shear loading device is controlled by the displacement rate control equation, while ensuring that the seepage field satisfies Darcy's law and that the mechanical loading and seepage action interact continuously and simultaneously. The loading process must satisfy the condition of complete temporal overlap. The displacement rate control equation is: (2) In the formula, v s δ is the shear displacement rate, t is the shear displacement, and t is the shear loading time.

The peak value of the interfacial friction coefficient, the residual friction coefficient, the critical shear displacement, and the hydraulic weakening rate were calculated based on the four curves. The calculation formulas are as follows: (9) (10) (11) (12) In the formula, μ p μ is the peak value of the friction coefficient. r δ is the residual friction coefficient. cr η is the critical shear displacement. ω This refers to the hydraulic weakening rate, i.e., the rate at which seepage weakens the friction coefficient. m r / m p The ratio of residual friction coefficient to peak value (dimensionless). The four curves and four values ​​provide a basis for the analysis of seepage-shear coupling performance.

Specifically, step S3 involves adjusting the infiltration pressure and drainage pressure by changing the power of the water pumps connected to the water supply pipeline and drainage pipeline, respectively. Specifically, step S4 involves monitoring the shear displacement using a first displacement sensor and monitoring the shear force value at the soil-lining interface using a shear force sensor. Specifically, step S5 involves monitoring the soil sample settlement using a second displacement sensor, measuring the seepage flow rate using an electromagnetic flowmeter at the drainage pipe, and monitoring the seepage path pressure field using a pore water pressure sensor.

[0013] Preferably, step S4 specifically involves, based on real-time volumetric strain ε vThe changes in soil pore structure are inverted, and the water pump is linked to maintain a constant seepage pressure difference, controlling the seepage pressure difference fluctuation to be less than or equal to 0.1 kPa / mm. When the shear displacement δ>2 mm, the flexible membrane sealing reinforcement mechanism is activated to ensure the boundary leakage Q during the seepage-shear coupling process. leak <10⁻⁶ m 3 / s.

[0014] Preferably, a two-field coupling analysis is performed based on the curve obtained in step S6, and the analysis includes quantification of the conduction weakening effect: through k eff - c Real-time curve capture of shear strain γ and its effect on permeability coefficient k eff The nonlinear attenuation effect, if k eff / k o If the percentage is less than 30%, it is determined that the tunnel segment shear deformation has led to a deterioration in the sealing function. k o The original permeability coefficient; Hydraulic weakening risk warning: When the hydraulic weakening rate or ω When the pressure difference is greater than 0.05 kPa, it indicates that the friction coefficient loss rate caused by the unit seepage pressure difference exceeds the critical threshold, directly triggering a strong seepage-shear coupling risk alarm.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention achieves independent loading and stable maintenance of normal pressure, interfacial shear force, and constant seepage pressure differential across the interface, solving the problem of existing testing equipment's functional separation and inability to perform coupled performance testing of constant pressure differential seepage and shear load. Simultaneously, it captures high-precision correlation data of the dynamic evolution of interfacial seepage flow and shear force displacement response during this seepage-shear coupling process. The testing method of this invention provides fundamental experimental evidence for characterizing the constitutive relationship and seepage conductivity of the interface under complex coupled loads, providing important parameter support for high-precision numerical simulation of tunnel seepage-structure interaction under extreme rainfall disasters, and can directly serve engineering safety design and risk decision-making.

[0029] A method for testing the constant pressure differential seepage-shear coupling performance of soil-lining interface includes the following steps: S1. Set up the test device clipboard Based on the engineering geological conditions, remolded soil is prepared as a soil sample, or field soil samples are taken, and the moisture content and compaction of the soil samples are adjusted to the required state for the test. A flexible film is used to wrap the outer wall of the tunnel segment sample 7 to form a hydraulic transfer boundary and seal both ends of the tunnel segment sample 7. Soil samples are layered and filled to the target height 8 on the permeable stone base 6 located at the bottom of the shear box. The tunnel segment sample 7 wrapped with the flexible film is placed in the shear box and the soil samples are filled until completion.

[0030] Specifically, a first shear force sensor 23 and a third displacement sensor 22 are attached to the outer wall of the tunnel segment sample 7. The first shear force sensor 23 and the third displacement sensor 22 are connected to the data acquisition system. The first shear force sensor 23 and the third displacement sensor 22 are used to detect the shear force value and shear displacement at the soil-lining interface of the tunnel segment sample 7. The core purpose is to provide additional local (near the tunnel segment sample 7) information dimension to improve the accuracy of the entire testing device.

[0031] S2, Establishment of Initial Stress State Confining pressure oil is injected into the confining pressure chamber 3 through the oil supply pipeline 13 to apply a preset confining pressure, thereby achieving isobaric consolidation of the soil sample in the shear box. Simultaneously, water is injected into the shear box through the water supply pipeline 15 to apply a hydrostatic pressure reference value p0 to the saturated soil area (the soil sample area located above the bottom permeable stone 6) and the lining back cavity (the closed cavity formed between the outer wall of the tunnel segment sample 7 and the flexible membrane), simulating the steady-state environment of groundwater. Confining pressure and hydrostatic pressure are applied until the soil stress field reaches a uniform distribution. Specifically, water is pumped into the shear box through the water supply pipeline 15 using the water pump of the confining pressure / permeability control center 12, and water is discharged from the shear box using the water pump of the drainage pipeline 16. The water injection pressure and drainage pressure are applied by the two water pumps respectively. More specifically, the water pump on the water supply pipeline 15 is a high-pressure water pump, and the water pump on the drainage pipeline 16 is a low-pressure water pump. The confining pressure σ is collected in real time using a sensor array. conf Monitoring the normal stress σ of each soil layer n Monitoring infiltration pressure p i and drainage pressure p o To determine whether the soil stress field is uniformly distributed, the condition for determining whether the soil stress field is uniformly distributed is: the normal stress σ in each layer of the soil... n With confining pressure σ conf Deviation ≤ 5%, and satisfy p i =p o =p0; Specifically, the confining pressure is monitored by a confining pressure sensor, the soil normal stress is monitored by a soil pressure sensor, the infiltration pressure is monitored by an upper osmotic pressure sensor, and the drainage pressure is monitored by a lower osmotic pressure sensor.

[0032] S3, Constant water pressure differential loading By adjusting the injection and drainage pressures of the water supply pipe 15 and the drainage pipe 16, the infiltration pressure and drainage pressure are regulated, thereby establishing a target hydraulic gradient between the infiltration boundary (the interface between the top permeable stone 6 and the saturated soil sample area) and the drainage boundary (the interface between the bottom permeable stone 6 and the saturated soil sample area), and maintaining the fluctuation range of the seepage pressure difference Δp <1 kPa, thus achieving the constancy of the hydraulic gradient during the seepage process; the formula for calculating the seepage pressure difference is as follows: (1) In the formula, Δ p For the constant seepage pressure difference at the soil-lining interface, p i This refers to the infiltration boundary water pressure, specifically the pressure at the interface between the water supply pipe 15 and the shear box. p o This refers to the water pressure at the drainage boundary, i.e., the pressure at the interface between the drainage pipe 16 and the shear box.

[0033] Specifically, the infiltration pressure and drainage pressure are adjusted by changing the power of the water pumps connected to the water supply pipeline 15 and the drainage pipeline 16, respectively. The data acquisition system receives data monitored by the upper and lower osmotic pressure sensors in real time (data accuracy 0.1%FS) and transmits the data to the main controller. The main controller dynamically adjusts the output power of the two water pumps through a closed-loop PID algorithm to maintain the fluctuation range of the osmotic pressure difference.

[0034] S4, seepage-shear coupling loading The shear loading devices located on both sides of the shear box are activated. Under the condition of maintaining a constant osmotic pressure difference Δp, a horizontal shear load is applied along the contact interface between the soil sample and the tunnel segment sample 7. The shear displacement and the shear force value at the soil-lining interface are monitored by a sensor array to achieve complete spatiotemporal coupling between the seepage field and the stress field. Specifically, the shear displacement is monitored by a first displacement sensor, and the shear force value at the soil-lining interface is monitored by a shear force sensor. Specifically, the action of the shear loading device is controlled by the displacement rate control equation, while ensuring that the seepage field satisfies Darcy's law and that the mechanical loading and seepage action interact continuously and simultaneously. The loading process must satisfy the condition of complete temporal overlap. The displacement rate control equation is: (2) In the formula, v s ẟ represents the shear displacement rate, t represents the shear displacement, and t represents the shear loading time. The formula for determining whether the loading process satisfies the condition of complete temporal overlap is: (3) In the formula, t s t is the movement time of the shearing component. ΔpThe duration of the seepage effect; While applying shear load, the infiltration pressure and drainage pressure are adjusted. The water supply pipeline 15 and drainage pipeline 16, together with their respective connected water pumps and valves 20, form a dynamic boundary compensation system to control the fluctuation of osmotic pressure difference caused by displacement. (4) In the formula, Δp is the osmotic pressure difference, δ is the shear displacement, and ε is the osmotic pressure difference. δ The error threshold is set to 0.1 kPa / mm.

[0035] S5. Synchronous Monitoring and Data Recording The following data monitored by the sensor array are acquired in real time through the data acquisition system: soil-lining interface shear force Fs, shear displacement δ, soil sample settlement ΔH, seepage flow Q, and seepage path pressure field p(x, t).
