[0002] Pile foundations have been widely used in the fields of port, ocean and bridge engineering. The common methods for testing the bearing capacity of pile foundations are high strain method and static load test method. When using the high strain method, in order to ensure the accuracy of the test results, it is usually compared with the static load test method. Therefore, the static load test is the most basic and reliable test method.

[0003] The static load test reaction device for offshore pile foundations must comprehensively consider multiple factors such as structural safety, economic rationality, and ease of operation, and must be able to adapt to the harsh marine environment. Figure 2-3 As shown, there is a certain type of offshore pile foundation platform, which includes a main pile, secondary piles arranged around the main pile foundation as the center, and a work platform erected on the main pile foundation and the secondary piles. The secondary piles are inclined toward the main pile foundation, and the main piles and the secondary piles are connected as a whole through the work platform, which can effectively resist the horizontal impact force brought by the sea waves. However, the pile foundation platform uses multiple pile foundations, and in the marine environment, it is difficult to build a test platform for the reaction force device, which greatly increases the experimental cost.

A spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the placement groove, and an end of the spring away from the bottom of the placement groove is fixedly connected to an end of the protrusion close to the bottom of the placement groove. The experimental device in this patent only performs vertical compressive static load tests on a single pile foundation, and anchor rods are required to support the experimental device, which is not suitable for static load tests on offshore pile foundations.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0025] As Figure 1-3 shown, the present utility model provides a reaction force device for static load test of offshore platform pile foundations, including a main beam 2, an auxiliary beam 3, a fixed frame 4, a first jack, a second jack, a displacement sensor, a pressure sensor and a control unit. The auxiliary beam 3 includes a first auxiliary beam 31 and a second auxiliary beam 32. Among them, both ends of the first auxiliary beam 31 are respectively fixed to the tops of the third auxiliary pile 123 and the fourth auxiliary pile 124 through the fixed frame 4, and the second auxiliary beam 32 is respectively fixed to the tops of the fifth auxiliary pile 125 and the sixth auxiliary pile 126 through the fixed frame 4. The top of the main beam 2 is fixedly connected to the centers of the bottoms of the first auxiliary beam 31 and the second auxiliary beam 32, and the three are arranged in a cross structure. The first jack is arranged in the vertical direction, fixed to the top of the main pile 11, and the output end contacts the center of the bottom of the main beam 2; the second jack is arranged in the horizontal direction, and there are two groups, respectively fixed to both ends of the bottom of the main beam 2, and the output ends of the two groups of second jacks respectively contact the outsides of the first auxiliary pile 121 and the second auxiliary pile 122. The displacement sensors are respectively arranged on the main pile 11 and the auxiliary piles 12, and the pressure sensors are respectively arranged at the output ends of the first jack and the second jack. The reaction force device of the present utility model can perform horizontal static push and vertical compressive static load tests on the offshore pile foundation platforms of multiple pile foundations, and has low cost, simple and convenient operation.

[0026] As Figure 1-3As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the pile foundation platform 1 includes a main pile 11, a plurality of secondary piles 12 arranged around the main pile 11 as the center of the circle, and a work platform 13 erected on the main pile 11 and the secondary piles 12; the secondary pile 12 is inclined toward the main pile foundation, and the main pile 11 and the secondary pile 12 are connected as a whole through the work platform 13, which can effectively resist the horizontal impact force brought by the sea waves. The secondary piles 12 include a first secondary pile 121, a second secondary pile 122, a third secondary pile 123, a fourth secondary pile 124, a fifth secondary pile 125, and a sixth secondary pile 126. In this pile foundation platform 1, the main pile 11 mainly plays the role of bearing vertical loads, and the plurality of secondary piles 12 resist the impact loads in the horizontal direction. Therefore, when performing a static load test, it is necessary to perform a vertical compressive static load test on the main pile 11 and a horizontal static push static load test on the secondary pile 12.

[0027] like Figure 4-5 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, when installing the reaction force device, the fixing frame 4 is installed on the third auxiliary pile 123, the fourth auxiliary pile 124, the fifth auxiliary pile 125 and the sixth auxiliary pile 126 respectively. After the installation operation is completed, the two ends of the first auxiliary beam 31 are fixedly connected to the fixing frame 4 set on the top of the third auxiliary pile 123 and the fourth auxiliary pile 124 respectively, and the two ends of the second auxiliary beam 32 are fixedly connected to the fixing frame 4 set on the top of the fifth auxiliary pile 125 and the sixth auxiliary pile 126 respectively. At this time, the first auxiliary beam 31 and the second auxiliary beam 32 are arranged in the horizontal longitudinal direction and are parallel to each other.

Displacement sensors are installed on the main pile 11 and the auxiliary pile 12 to detect the vertical displacement distance of the main pile 11 and the horizontal displacement distance of the auxiliary pile 12. The pressure sensors are installed on the output ends of the first jack and the second jack to detect the output pressure.

[0028] During the pile foundation static load test, the control unit controls the first jack to apply pressure to the main beam 2, thereby loading the vertical reaction force on the main pile 11. According to the detection information of the pressure sensor provided at the output end of the first jack, the control unit controls the first hydraulic pressure to gradually apply the load until the design ultimate bearing capacity of the main pile 11 is reached, and the displacement distance of the main pile 11 is recorded by the displacement sensor. After completing the vertical compressive static load test of the main pile 11, the load applied by the first jack is removed, and the two groups of second jacks are controlled to synchronously apply pressure to the first auxiliary pile 121 and the second auxiliary pile 122 respectively, until the design ultimate bearing capacity of the auxiliary pile 12 is reached, and the displacement distance of the first auxiliary pile 121 and the second auxiliary pile 122 is recorded; the fixed positions of the first auxiliary beam 31 and the second auxiliary beam 32 are replaced, so that the second jacks sequentially perform horizontal compressive static load tests on the remaining third auxiliary pile 123, the fourth auxiliary pile 124, the fifth auxiliary pile 125, and the sixth auxiliary pile 126, and record the corresponding displacement values. The measured vertical displacement value on the main pile 11 and the horizontal displacement value on the auxiliary pile 12 are compared with the normal offset threshold value to determine whether each pile is normal or not. When conducting a pile foundation static load test, the fixed connection between the workbench 13 and the main pile 11 and the auxiliary pile 12 needs to be released in advance to avoid interfering with the test accuracy.

The arc plate is adapted to the outer periphery of the auxiliary pile 12 and transmits the loading pressure of the output end of the second jack to the auxiliary pile 12 by contacting the outer side of the auxiliary pile 12, thereby increasing the force-bearing area and avoiding damage to the auxiliary pile 12.
