Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of urban building foundation pits, and particularly relates to a test device for simulating the influence of controllable rainfall on a foundation pit. Background Art
[0002] Foundation pits are a common, comprehensive system engineering process used in the construction of high-rise buildings, subway stations, and bridges. Simple foundation pit construction has existed since ancient times, primarily involving simple timber pile enclosures and slope reduction. Since the 20th century, a large number of underground engineering projects have emerged around the world, bringing with them an increasing number of challenges and placing increasingly stringent demands on foundation pit engineering.
[0003] At present, the scale of infrastructure construction in my country is getting larger and larger, and foundation pit projects are developing towards super-large and super-deep directions. At the same time, the geological and environmental conditions are more complex, and the requirements for deformation control are more stringent. The safety issues of foundation pits are becoming more prominent and urgent. Accurate and stable analysis and the use of correct support methods and construction techniques are crucial to the success of foundation pit projects.
[0004] The instability of foundation pits is often closely linked to rainfall. Therefore, a test device that simulates the effects of controlled rainfall on foundation pits is needed to study the impact of different rainfall conditions on foundation pit stability. Currently available physical test models for foundation pits cannot accurately control rainfall intensity and also ignore the impact of the initial water pressure applied by the sprinklers on the surface soil of the foundation pit. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a test device that simulates the effects of controlled rainfall on foundation pits, thereby simulating the effects of different rainfall conditions on building foundation pits. This device addresses the problems of existing foundation pit physical test model devices by enabling controlled rainfall and eliminating the influence of initial water pressure from sprinklers.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, a test device for simulating the influence of controlled rainfall on foundation pit is provided, comprising:
[0007] Test box: The foundation pit model box device (1) and the filling soil (2) are used to build a proportionally reduced foundation pit model, and the row-type rainfall pipes (3) and the spray showers (4) are located above the box device to simulate rainfall.
[0008] Rainfall controller (5): The rainfall controller (5) is composed of a timer (6), a water-blocking steel plate (7) and an injection pressure hole (8). The time value of rainfall is input into the timer (6), and the timer (6) can control the opening and closing degree and time of the water-blocking steel plate (7), thereby controlling the rainfall time in the device; at the same time, an external water pump is connected through the injection pressure hole (8) to provide the device with the required water pressure.
[0009] Using the above-mentioned test device for simulating the effect of controlled rainfall on foundation pits, the test method includes the following steps:
[0010] S1: Determine the foundation pit model;
[0011] S2: Simulated rainfall.
[0012] Furthermore, the step S1 specifically includes:
[0013] a. Reduce the foundation pit in proportion according to engineering examples;
[0014] b. Fill, compact, and excavate the device, and assemble the device according to rainfall requirements.
[0015] Furthermore, the step S2 specifically includes:
[0016] a. Determine rainfall parameters based on rainfall conditions at the foundation pit location;
[0017] b. Input and control the rainfall time and rainfall intensity through the rainfall controller to start simulating rainfall.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] 1. The water outlet of the spray shower (4) is facing away from the interior of the box, that is, spraying water upwards, so as to eliminate the scouring effect of the initial water pressure brought by the nozzle on the surface soil of the model.
[0020] 2. Using parallel rainfall pipes (3) can achieve uniform rainfall.
[0021] 3. The rainfall controller (5) can accurately control the rainfall time and adjust the water pressure and rainfall amount according to demand. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
