Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical testing technology for soil under freeze-thaw cycles, and specifically to a consolidation test device for coarse-grained soil under unidirectional freeze-thaw cycles. Background Technology
[0002] In seasonally frozen soil regions, freeze-thaw damage to foundation soils for projects such as dams, embankments, and roads is a prominent issue. These foundation soils are primarily composed of coarse-grained soils with varying particle sizes and a certain gradation. Seasonal temperature variations significantly impact the temperature and moisture fields of the foundation soil. Influenced by summer rainfall and groundwater recharge, the foundation soil is often saturated or even supersaturated, especially in foundations with poor drainage, where the soil has high water content and pore water pressure before freezing. When temperatures drop below freezing, the water in the soil freezes and expands, causing significant frost heave deformation. Spring temperatures fluctuate between positive and negative, causing the foundation soil to undergo freeze-thaw cycles, altering its pore structure and exhibiting higher compressibility and reduced shear strength. Under load, this results in varying degrees of settlement and damage, significantly impacting the normal operation of the project. To accurately assess the settlement deformation of coarse-grained soils, it is necessary to accurately and objectively test the changes in consolidation characteristics under freeze-thaw conditions.
[0003] Currently, there are relevant technical standards in China that can guide the testing of the consolidation performance of coarse-grained soil under normal conditions. However, there are no unified technical standards for testing the consolidation performance of coarse-grained soil under freeze-thaw cycles, and research on test devices for simulating unidirectional freezing and thawing of coarse-grained soil in seasonally frozen soil regions has not been reported. Testing the consolidation characteristics of coarse-grained soil under freeze-thaw cycles and loads in engineering projects in seasonally frozen soil regions requires special treatment of the test device; current testing methods cannot meet the requirements.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies cannot test the compression coefficient, consolidation coefficient, and other indicators of coarse-grained soil under different loads during unidirectional freeze-thaw cycles, and the test conditions cannot simulate the requirements of actual engineering boundaries, resulting in low reliability and accuracy of the measurement results.
