Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of engineering detection, in particular to a portable reference device for static load testing. Background Art

[0002] Static load testing is a widely used test method in engineering for assessing the bearing capacity of piles and foundations. This method applies pressure or thrust in stages and observes the associated displacement changes to infer the bearing capacity of the piles or foundations. However, in practical applications, the selection and installation of reference piles and reference beams present a number of challenges. Currently, engineers use either steel pipes driven into the ground for reference piles and hollow square steel for reference beams; or both the reference piles and reference beams are processed into triangular trusses using square steel; or a welded steel pipe truss is used as the reference beam, with one end simply supported and the other secured with fasteners. However, due to the length of the reference beam, it is often difficult to carry and transport, which inconveniences the test. Furthermore, improper installation can lead to inaccurate test data and even significant errors due to deformation. To address these issues, it is necessary to develop a more portable, stable, and reliable reference pile and reference beam to improve the accuracy and operability of static load testing and better serve the field of geotechnical engineering testing. Utility Model Content

[0003] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a portable reference device for static load testing, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0004] A portable reference device for static load testing comprises two reference piles and a reference beam, wherein the reference beam is composed of multiple short beam sections. A hinge blade, designated a first hinge blade and a second hinge blade, is fixed to the same side of each short beam's two ends. The two blades are provided with corresponding hinge sleeves on the sides facing away from the short beam for docking. Furthermore, the two hinge blades between adjacent short beams are hingedly connected by a detachable pin to ensure stable assembly and disassembly of the reference beam. The hinged first and second hinge blades can be closed outward.

[0005] The reference pile includes a plug rod, the upper end of the plug rod is fixed with a U-shaped square groove, the inner size of the U-shaped square groove matches the cross-sectional size of the short beam to ensure that the reference beam can be firmly mounted on the reference pile, a slidable sleeve is sleeved on the plug rod, and a limiter is also provided on the sleeve, and the limiter is used to fix the sleeve on the plug rod, and the limiter is a hole opened on the sleeve and a fixing bolt is screwed on the sleeve. The position of the sleeve on the plug rod can be controlled by the fixing bolt, and a tripod is fixed on the sleeve. When in use, the plug rod is inserted into the stratum to a certain depth, and the tripod legs are inserted into the soil layer. One end of the reference beam is placed in the U-shaped square groove of the reference pile as a fixed end and fixed with a fastening device, and the other end is simply supported in the U-shaped square groove on another reference pile as a free end.

[0006] Adjacent short beams are assembled using a hinge with a detachable pin. Two hinge blades are fixed to the ends of the adjacent short beams, allowing each short beam to be hinged together in this manner. During use, the hinge blades of the short beams are placed downward and hinged together sequentially via the pins to form a reference beam. When the two ends of the reference beam are placed on the reference piles, the hinge blades close outward, that is, downward, and gravity causes the hinges to open, allowing the ends of adjacent short beams to fit tightly together.

[0007] Furthermore, the short beams are made of square steel with a thickness greater than 5 mm, and the length of each short beam is greater than 200 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the insertion rod is made of threaded steel, and the upper end of the insertion rod is fixed to the bottom of the U-shaped square groove by welding.

[0009] Furthermore, the fastening device includes a cover plate disposed at the upper end of the U-shaped square groove, with both sides of the cover plate fastened to the U-shaped square groove via a bolt connection pair. Because the inner dimensions of the U-shaped groove match the cross-sectional dimensions of the short beam, the cover plate at the upper end of the U-shaped square groove can precisely contact the upper end of the short beam. Simultaneously, the cover plate is screwed to the U-shaped groove on both sides to secure the fixed end of the reference beam.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] This simple structure makes the reference beam easier to carry by dividing it into multiple shorter sections and employing a detachable hinged joint, making it more portable and convenient for static load testing in various locations. The shorter sections are articulated using hinged blades and detachable pins, simplifying assembly and disassembly of the reference beam and saving time and labor.

[0012] The reference pile uses a rod made of threaded steel, which facilitates driving the reference pile into the ground to a certain depth, reducing test errors. The rod is welded to the U-shaped square groove, and the reference pile length can be welded to different threaded steel lengths according to test needs. The adjustable sleeve ensures that the reference beam can be firmly installed on the reference pile and can adapt to different strata, improving the stability and reliability of the test. The fastening device ensures the firm fixation of the fixed end of the reference beam, reducing errors caused by device movement during the test and improving the accuracy of the test data.
