Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge engineering, and particularly relates to an ultimate bearing capacity test device for a hollow thin-wall pier. Background Technique

[0002] A hollow thin-wall pier refers to a pier form in which a concrete or reinforced concrete pier is designed as a hollow thin-wall structure. This kind of pier is similar to a gravity pier in appearance, but has the characteristics of good structural stiffness and strength, light self-weight, large cross-sectional modulus and small cross-sectional area. Hollow thin-wall piers are mainly used in the construction of high bridges. Compared with gravity solid piers, the masonry work can generally be reduced by 40%-60%. In addition, hollow thin-wall piers can also save masonry materials and reduce the weight.

[0003] Bridge load test is an important means to evaluate the structural performance of a bridge. By simulating the actual load conditions, the bridge is loaded and tested to detect whether the bearing capacity, stiffness, stability, etc. of the bridge meet the design requirements and service safety. In order to evaluate the bearing capacity and stability of a pier under specific conditions, it is necessary to conduct a bearing capacity test on the hollow thin-wall pier. The static load test is a commonly used method for detecting the bearing capacity of piers at present. It mainly measures the deformation of the pier and the load response by applying static loads. The static load test needs to gradually increase the load under appropriate working conditions, and at the same time measure the deformation of the bearing and the load response. Thus, the deformation amount and the load response curve of the pier under different loads can be obtained, and then the bearing capacity and deformation performance of the pier can be calculated.

[0004] However, in the existing pier bearing capacity tests, cement blocks or metal blocks are usually used to apply static loads, which requires the use of large hoisting equipment, and the operation is cumbersome. Moreover, due to the large mass and volume of cement blocks or metal blocks, they are not easy to hoist and move, resulting in a long time-consuming for the preliminary preparation work of the test, a long test period and high costs. In addition, the magnitude of the applied load is not easy to adjust, and the operation convenience is poor.

[0035] Working principle of the test device for the ultimate bearing capacity of a hollow thin-walled pier: First, place the pier model to be tested in the groove of the bearing platform 6 and fix it to ensure its stable placement. Then, adjust the position of the load plate 8 through the lifting and adjusting assembly so that it is aligned with the top of the pier model. During this process, drive the threaded lead screw 45 to rotate through the drive motor 47, causing the slide plate 44 to move along the threaded lead screw 45, thereby adjusting the position of the hydraulic cylinder 42, moving the hydraulic cylinder 42 forward, and then driving the load plate 8 and the water tank 1 forward through the hydraulic cylinder 42 until the load plate 8 is directly above the pier model. Then, control the hydraulic cylinder 42 to drive the load plate 8 downward until the load plate 8 contacts the top of the pier model and the jacking plate 41 separates from the bearing plate 9. Then start the centrifugal water pump 7 and inject water into the water tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 12. As the water level rises, the gravity of the water will apply a static load to the pier model. By observing the flow meter 11, accurately control the amount of water injected into the water tank 1, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the load applied to the pier. During the loading process, the limit support assembly 3 ensures the stability of the water tank 1 and the fixed frame 2, preventing them from shifting or tilting. Monitor the deformation and stress distribution of the pier model under the action of the static load and record the relevant data. When the test is completed, turn off the centrifugal water pump 7 and stop injecting water into the water tank 1. Start the return water pump 14, pump out the water in the water tank 1 through the water extraction pipe 17, and discharge it outside the device through the drain pipe 15. Then move the load plate 8 upward through the lifting and adjusting assembly and first move it backward to separate from the pier model, facilitating the removal of the pier model.
