Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the reinforced embankment reinforcement deformation measurement technical field of geotechnical engineering, specifically related to a reinforced embankment's reinforcement deformation characteristic supergravity test device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the expressway reconstruction project, the new and old roadbed splicing parts are prone to large differential deformation under the upper vehicle dynamic load due to the difference in the nature of the filling soil, causing pavement diseases and greatly shortening the pavement life. Therefore, it is usually necessary to lay geosynthetic materials at the new and old roadbed splicing parts to form a reinforced roadbed, adjust the stress distribution of the roadbed soil body, and reduce the differential deformation of the roadbed.

[0003] For the reinforced roadbed, the deformation characteristics of the reinforcement directly affect the stress deformation characteristics and stability of the roadbed, so it is urgent to develop a test device and method for measuring the deformation of the reinforcement. The geotechnical centrifuge can create a supergravity field by high-speed rotation of the rotating arm, thereby reproducing the initial stress state of the soil body, which is an effective method for studying the stress deformation characteristics and stability of the reinforced embankment. However, due to the limitations of measurement technology, the deformation characteristics of the reinforcement inside the embankment under supergravity field have been lacking effective measurement means for a long time. In previous studies, the method of pasting strain gauges on the reinforcement was often used to measure the stress and strain of the reinforcement, but pasting strain gauges would change the deformation modulus of the reinforcement, resulting in a large error in measurement, and only the stress and strain of a certain point of the reinforcement could be measured, and the overall deformation of the reinforcement and the differential deformation of the reinforcement and the soil body could not be measured.

[0004] Particle image system (PIV) is a method of analyzing the coordinates of particles in the image by analyzing the images before and after deformation through image analysis technology, thereby obtaining the image displacement deformation field. This method is a non-contact measurement method that does not interfere with the measurement object, and has high measurement accuracy. After algorithm optimization, the accuracy can reach microns, with great advantages.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to combine particle image system (PIV) and geotechnical centrifuge model test technology under supergravity field to develop a supergravity test device and test method for the deformation characteristics of the reinforcement of the reinforced embankment based on PIV technology.
