[0002] In karst geology, caves are common in underground projects. This is particularly true during the design and construction of building pile foundations. Caves can prevent pile foundations from reaching their intended bearing capacity, thus impacting project safety and stability. Research into how to solidify fluidized soil through grouting to enhance the bearing capacity of cave roofs and prevent pile foundation failure due to topping has become an important research topic. However, existing technologies are unable to accurately simulate the grouting solidification process and topping failure in karst environments.

The strain gauge is applied to the upper surface of the thin roof structure. The grouting system is equipped with a flow meter and a pressure sensor. The earth pressure gauge, strain gauge, flow meter, and pressure sensor are all connected to the computer-controlled monitoring system.

[0009] Furthermore, the transparent test box is made of organic glass.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the following embodiments. However, it should not be understood that the scope of the present invention is limited to the following embodiments. Without departing from the above technical concept of the present invention, various substitutions and modifications based on common technical knowledge and customary means in the field should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] This embodiment provides an experimental device for simulating laminar plastic soil grouting and solidification on a karst roof, comprising a karst environment simulation system, a grouting system, and a data acquisition system.

[0024] The karst environment simulation system includes a transparent test chamber, a karst cavity structure 5, and a pile topping failure simulation unit. The interior of the transparent test chamber is filled, from bottom to top, with a base bearing layer 3, a soft rock layer 4 surrounding the cave, a thin roof structure 6, a fluidized soil layer 7, and an overlying rock layer 8.

The upper end of the steel casing 2 extends beyond the fluidized soil layer 7 and the overlying rock layer 8. The iron pipe 1 is accommodated in the inner cavity of the steel casing 2. Hammering from the upper part of the iron pipe 1 can penetrate the roof structure.

[0025] The grouting port of the grouting system is covered in the fluidized soil layer 7 .

[0026] The data acquisition system includes a computer-controlled monitoring system 11, an earth pressure gauge 13, a strain gauge 14, a flow meter, and a pressure sensor. The earth pressure gauge 13 is buried in the fluidized soil layer 7. The elevation of the earth pressure gauge 13 is higher than the elevation of the grouting port. The strain gauge 14 is applied to the upper surface of the thin roof structure 6. The grouting system is equipped with a flow meter and a pressure sensor. The earth pressure gauge 13, strain gauge 14, flow meter, and pressure sensor are all connected to the computer-controlled monitoring system 11. The computer-controlled monitoring system 11 is used to control the grouting volume and grouting pressure and monitor changes in earth pressure and roof deformation.

[0027] By simulating the combination of karst fissures and the upper layer of fluidized soil in a transparent plexiglass device, the experiment allowed for the direct observation of the flow and distribution of grouting fluid within the fissures and soil. Real-time data from the grouting process was recorded using pressure sensors, flow meters, and a video monitoring system. This device can simulate different grouting pressures, flow rates, and slurry materials, allowing for the study of how these conditions affect the curing effect. The experimental results provide theoretical support and technical support for grouting reinforcement of the fluidized soil layer in karst geological environments.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] The main contents of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, wherein the transparent test box is made of organic glass, the karst cavity structure 5 is cast with cement, and the thin top plate structure 6 is integrally cast with cement.

[0030] Example 3:

[0031] The main contents of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1 or 2, wherein the grouting system includes four groups of grouting units. Each group of grouting units includes a slurry storage tank 12, a grouting pump 10, and a grouting pipe 9. The grouting pump 10 is connected to the slurry storage tank 12 and the grouting pipe 9. The grouting ports of the four grouting pipes 9 are arranged around the steel casing 2. The grouting pump 10 is connected to a computer control monitoring system 11. The computer control monitoring system 11 is used to control the grouting volume and grouting pressure and monitor soil pressure changes and roof deformation.

[0032] Example 4:

[0033] The main contents of this embodiment are the same as those of Examples 1 to 3, except that the base bearing layer 3 is a hard rock layer with a thickness of 0.1m-0.2m. The soft rock layer 4 surrounding the cave is 0.3m-0.4m thick. The thin roof structure 6 is 0.08m-0.1m thick. The fluidized soil layer 7 is 0.22m-0.25m thick. The overlying rock layer 8 is a soft rock layer with a thickness of 0.2m-0.25m.

[0034] Example 5:

[0035] This embodiment provides an experimental method according to any one of the experimental devices described in embodiments 1 to 4, comprising the following steps:

[0036] Step 1: Before conducting the experiment, check the grouting and curing experimental device to ensure that the equipment is placed stably, and at the same time ensure that the components are placed flat and the entire model box is a cube.

[0037] Step 2: According to the experimental requirements, as shown in Figure 3 (a) and (b), cement is used to cast the karst cavity. The cavity is a cube with a side length of 0.4m. The upper part of the cavity is a roof. The cavity needs to be cured for a period of time, and the curing time is 10 days.

[0038] Step 3: Figure 4 As shown, a hard rock layer with a thickness of 0.1m is arranged at the bottom of the karst cavity to simulate the pile foundation entering the rock bearing layer after passing through the cave. The bedrock layer is configured as a high-strength rock material.

[0039] Step 4: Place the cast karst cavity on the hard rock layer, and cast a relatively soft rock layer around it with a thickness of 0.4m to simulate the rock layer environment around the cave.

[0040] Step 5: A thinner roof layer is built on the upper part of the karst cavity layer, which has mechanical properties close to those of the rock layers around the cavity. Strain gauges 14 are laid on the roof layer to ensure that deformation can be monitored when the roof is penetrated.

[0041] Step 6: A steel casing 2 is set up in the center of the upper part of the top plate, and fluidized soil is laid around the steel casing 2. An iron pipe 1 is placed in the middle of the steel casing 2 to simulate the phenomenon of pile topping damage. An earth pressure sensor is laid in the fluidized soil. The sensor is located a certain distance above the grouting port to prevent the grouting from solidifying.

[0042] Step seven: grouting pipes 9 are set up around the upper steel casing 2 of the top plate, and the grouting pipes 9 are inserted into the slurry storage tank 12. The slurry storage tank 12 and the grouting pump 10 constitute the entire grouting device.

[0043] Step 8: The upper part of the fluidized soil layer 7 is a soft rock layer with a thickness of 0.2m. The soft rock wraps the steel casing 2 and the four grouting pipes 9 to prevent leakage from the upper part during grouting.

[0044] Step 9: Prepare grouting materials, including cement, fly ash, sand, stone powder and water, inject them according to a certain grouting pressure, monitor the changes in the flow meter, inject different grouting volumes respectively, and control the grouting speed at 0.5~1L / min.

[0045] Step 10: After the injection is completed and a period of curing is performed, the position of the iron pipe 1 is fixed, and then the upper part of the iron pipe 1 is hammered to observe and monitor the pressure and strain changes. When the iron pipe 1 is completely broken by the top, observe whether the fluidized soil has entered the karst cavity.

[0046] Step 11: After the experiment is finished, the grouting system is turned off, the grouting pipe 9 is cleaned, and the data of the grouting process and the top impact failure process are analyzed.
