Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of stone weathering simulation devices, and in particular to a comprehensive simulation experimental device for the weathering effects of stockpiled stone in a storage yard. Background Technology
[0002] The changes in engineering properties and settlement deformation of riprap under long-term weathering conditions are difficult to predict, posing a threat to the long-term safe storage of riprap slopes. Riprap slopes are typically formed by excavated earth and rock or slag, a common feature in large-scale engineering projects. The earth and rock are exposed to natural conditions for extended periods, and the soft rock within them is prone to weathering and disintegration, leading to deformation and damage of the rock and soil mass, threatening the surrounding environment and residents' activities. The riprap in riprap has complex properties and composition, poor engineering properties, and its physical and mechanical parameters and settlement values are difficult to obtain directly through calculation, requiring experimental determination. During weathering, the gradation, density, and permeability of the riprap change, affecting the overall physical and mechanical properties of the rock, leading to changes in the long-term stability of the slope, and even causing overall failure.
[0003] Current technical methods for studying rock weathering mainly consist of indoor geotechnical tests and simulation tests, including tests for disintegration resistance, water immersion disintegration, and weathering model boxes, as well as some small-scale wet-dry cycle tests. However, the test objects in these tests are relatively singular, mostly single or a few types of rocks, making it difficult to simultaneously consider the weathering and disintegration of complex riprap. Existing technologies also rarely provide direct engineering indicators such as gradation and permeability coefficients during the rock weathering process, and they also cannot consider the settlement and deformation of riprap, making it difficult to directly guide engineering practice. Utility Model Content

This device solves the problem that existing technologies cannot directly provide engineering indicators such as gradation, density, and permeability coefficient of riprap under the physical weathering process of stockpiles on slopes. Through this device, the physical and mechanical properties of riprap under weathering can be studied, obtaining parameters such as mass, gradation, density, and permeability coefficient of riprap under multiple weathering and disintegration processes. Based on the experimental values, parameter basis can be provided for evaluating the engineering properties of riprap or calculating the long-term stability of slopes.
