Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of crack testing of reinforced concrete beam, and particularly relates to a reinforced concrete beam shearing crack motion measuring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The shear performance of reinforced concrete members has been a classic research problem in the field of civil engineering. The shear bearing capacity is composed of multiple parts, including the shear effect of stirrups, the shear effect of concrete, the pinning effect of longitudinal reinforcement, and the aggregate interlocking effect, etc. Under the action of bending-shear load, the initial shear crack is generated along the direction of the maximum principal tensile stress of concrete. With the increase of load and the development of deformation, the stress-strain state of the shear crack position is redistributed, and the principal tensile stress direction changes, resulting in the relative slip of the concrete on both sides of the crack. For concrete members, the motion state (opening and slip) of the shear crack will significantly affect the aggregate interlocking effect of concrete, and further affect the overall shear bearing capacity of the member. Traditional crack measurement methods include visual observation, crack width gauge, strain gauge, displacement meter, etc. However, these methods have low measurement accuracy and can only provide single-point measurement data, and cannot obtain the crack motion in a large range. Therefore, a new device is proposed to measure the opening and slip of the shear crack of the reinforced concrete beam, so as to clarify the variation law and spatial distribution characteristics of the shear crack with load, which is the basis for quantifying and accurately evaluating the contribution of various shear components.

[0021] The utility model is further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and specific implementation, and it should be understood that the following specific implementation is only used for illustrating the utility model and is not used for limiting the scope of the utility model.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, the embodiment provides a reinforced concrete beam shear crack movement measuring device, test beam 1 adopts asymmetric four-point bending loading scheme to obtain pure shear surface (no bending moment), forms shear crack; the measuring method is non-contact full-field strain measurement technology (Digital Image Correlation, DIC), utilizes camera 2 and data acquisition system 3 to obtain the full-field displacement of beam surface, selects four mark points on the two sides of shear crack, and calculates the opening and slip of shear crack;The loading device includes: steel base 4, steel column 5, steel seat 6, upper cross beam 7, lower cross beam 8, distribution beam 9, jack 10, loading head 11, distribution support 12 and supporting support 13;Two steel columns 5 are vertically arranged above steel base 4, and upper cross beam 7 and lower cross beam 8 are connected between the two steel columns 5;The jack 10 is arranged below the middle of the upper cross beam 7, and the force is applied to the distribution beam 9 through the loading head 11 vertically;The distribution beam 9 transmits load to test beam 1 through distribution support 12;Test beam 1 is placed on the supporting support 13 of the lower cross beam steel seat 6.

[0023] As Figure 2 shown, the distribution support 12 in the loading device adopts a sandwich roller shaft structure and can rotate in two directions, the transverse roller shaft 15 is arranged between the first layer base plate and the second layer base plate, the longitudinal roller shaft 16 is arranged between the second layer base plate and the third layer base plate, and the side edges of the three layers of base plates are provided with springs 17 connected with each other;The loading head 11 adopts a hemispherical hinge and can rotate freely, as Figure 3 shown.

[0024] As Figure 4As shown, the total length of the test beam is 1.1L, the distance between the left support point of the distribution beam and the left end surface of the beam is 0.4L, the distance between the right support point of the distribution beam and the right end surface of the beam is 0.2L, the distance between the two distribution supports is 0.5L, the distance between the left support on the lower surface of the beam and the left end surface of the beam is 0.2L, the distance between the right support on the lower surface of the beam and the right end surface of the beam is 0.4L, and the distance between the two supports is 0.5L.

[0025] The two distribution supports 12 under the distribution beam in the loading device can move in the horizontal direction. The load applied by the loading head 11 in the loading device is P. Before loading, the positions of the distribution supports under the distribution beam should be adjusted so that the loads borne by the left and right distribution supports under the distribution beam are 0.7P and 0.3P respectively. The shear force distribution diagram and the bending moment distribution diagram of the beam are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 .

[0026] The method for measuring the opening and slip of the shear crack of the reinforced concrete beam comprises the following steps:

Select two marker points A and B on both sides of the shear crack along the normal direction thereof after deformation, and the deformed marker point positions are A' and B' respectively. In order to eliminate the influence of the “rigid body rotation angle” caused by the deflection deformation of the shear span of the beam, two additional marker points C and D are selected on both sides of the shear crack, and the corresponding deformed marker point positions are C' and D' respectively. The vector is perpendicular to the vector , the vector is perpendicular to the vector , and the rotation angle of the marker line and is the rigid body rotation angle value. The rotation angle α is calculated according to the following formula:

[0030]

[0031] Further calculate the opening value w and the slip value Δ of the shear crack:

[0032]
