Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of vibration testing technology, and specifically focuses on the vibration test of aeolian sand-modified soil as a roadbed material under the influence of vehicle cyclic dynamic load. Background Technology

[0002] The roadbed bears multiple loads from the track, vehicles, and pavement, transmitting these loads to the deeper layers of the foundation. Under the long-term vibration of vehicles, the roadbed will undergo irreversible deformation, i.e., plastic deformation. Therefore, when analyzing the negative effects of train loads, the cumulative plastic deformation caused by vehicle operation must be fully considered. Cumulative deformation refers to the irreversible deformation of the roadbed surface under repeated vehicle loads. Under the load of high-speed railway vehicles, different structural layers of the roadbed will experience differentiated cumulative deformation. If effective measures are not taken to control this, it will not only reduce the comfort of driving on the roadbed but may also cause train vibration, and in severe cases, even damage the track, posing a significant threat to traffic safety. As the load gradually increases, the skeletal structure of the soil will change, leading to permanent deformation.

[0003] Under the cyclic dynamic load of trains, high-speed railway subgrades are prone to problems, which in turn affect the safe operation of trains. Therefore, analyzing the dynamic characteristics of high-speed railway subgrade fill material under vibration loads is of great importance for improving the performance of subgrade soil and optimizing the design scheme of high-speed railway subgrades.

[0004] Given the vast scale and scope of highway construction projects in desert regions, the extensive use of traditional granular soil materials for roadbeds would not only create a huge demand for natural materials and lead to resource depletion due to over-exploitation, thus accelerating local ecological degradation, but also significantly increase construction costs and cause substantial unnecessary waste, which is detrimental to my country's current development. To promote high-quality and efficient railway construction in Northwest China, utilizing locally sourced aeolian sand—the most abundant resource in desert regions—as roadbed fill material during highway construction would greatly reduce material costs and benefit ecological environmental protection, thus possessing significant practical importance.

[0005] Aeolian sand is a type of ultrafine sand formed by wind transport from deserts and Gobi regions to alluvial plains, where it is deposited and naturally weathered. It is a special geological material widely distributed in the deserts and Gobi areas of Northwest my country. However, due to its non-cohesiveness, poor gradation, and high porosity, aeolian sand is not suitable for direct use as subgrade filler.

[0006] Soil consolidation technology offers a new solution for treating aeolian sand foundations using locally sourced materials and adapting to local conditions. By adding a solidifying agent to the aeolian sand, a series of physicochemical reactions occur between the agent and the water and mineral components in the sand. The resulting products fill the gaps between particles, enhancing the bonding between them and producing a solidification effect, thus forming a solidified aeolian sand foundation and realizing the resource utilization of desert aeolian sand. Current research indicates that solidifying agents for desert aeolian sand primarily use cement, lime stabilization, or the addition of inorganic binders such as fly ash, focusing on improving the road compressive strength of the solidified aeolian sand.

[0007] In practical road and railway engineering, inorganic materials such as silt and cement are often used to improve aeolian sand to meet the design requirements of the subgrade fill material. Cement hydrates fill the internal pores of the aeolian sand, making its structure more compact; cement hydrates also tightly bind the dispersed aeolian sand particles together to form a whole, significantly increasing its unconfined compressive strength. Improved aeolian sand exhibits good stability and superior mechanical properties, meeting the needs of engineering construction.

[0008] Currently, cement-modified aeolian sand has been used as a roadbed filler in some areas, but further research is needed on its stability as a high-speed railway roadbed filling material.

[0009] To simulate the cyclic dynamic load during train operation, this invention uses vibration waves for experimental research.

[0010] Vibrational wave excitation is less commonly used in the field of cement-to-aeolus sand conversion, but it has been widely applied in areas such as fractured coal and rock, oil reservoir permeability enhancement, and coalbed methane permeability enhancement. Under low-frequency vibration excitation, the coal and rock mass is subjected to repeated unidirectional excitation forces. Therefore, the loaded coal mass can be regarded as a structural body subjected to cyclic impact loads at a certain frequency and amplitude, which in turn causes a series of pores and fractures to develop and expand within the coal mass, resulting in changes in its microstructure and permeability.

[0011] Some scholars believe that vibration waves can effectively disturb the coal body, causing tension, compression and shearing effects on the coal and rock media during their propagation. As a result, the framework of the coal matrix undergoes elastic deformation, thereby increasing the micropores and microcracks in the coal body and expanding the diffusion and seepage channels.

[0012] The present invention aims to explore whether cement-modified aeolian sandy soil exhibits similar response characteristics to coal under the same excitation conditions as cement under vibration wave excitation.

[0013] To simulate the vibration impact on the roadbed during vehicle travel, a vibrator was used as the testing device in the experiment. The vibrator acts as a wave generator to excite the aeolian sand-modified soil sample. The specific frequency and amplitude are set by a signal generator to simulate the vibration waves generated during vehicle travel. A clamping device is installed below the vibrator to reproduce the vibration state experienced by the roadbed during vehicle travel. Therefore, we propose a vibration wave excitation test device for aeolian sand roadbed. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the vibration wave excitation test device for cement-modified aeolian sand roadbed of this utility model includes a signal generator 3, a power amplifier 4, a vibrator 5, a clamping mechanism 6, a dynamic data acquisition device 7, and a data processor 8, wherein the aeolian sand modified soil sample 1 is placed on the clamping mechanism 6.

[0033] This invention has a simple mechanism. It can generate a wave signal through the signal generator 3, which is then amplified by the power amplifier 4 and applied to the vibrator 5. The vibrator 5 starts to vibrate, thereby causing the aeolian sand-modified soil sample 1 to vibrate. The vibration is then detected by the acceleration sensor 2, and the internal response of the aeolian sand-modified soil sample 1 is monitored in real time by the dynamic data acquisition device 7. Finally, the damage signal of the aeolian sand-modified soil sample 1 is obtained through the data processor 8.

[0034] Aeolian sand-improved soil sample 1 is 100 mm. A 100mm cylinder.

[0035] Accelerometer 2 was attached to aeolian sand improved soil sample 1 using double-sided tape / Vaseline.

[0036] The vibration wave frequency generated by signal generator 3 is limited to between 20 and 80 Hz, which is similar to the vibration frequency of a high-speed train.

[0037] The clamping mechanism 6 is directly fixed to the horizontal plate below the vibrator 5 by bolts, which can prevent the vibration from moving the aeolian sand-improved soil sample and affecting the experimental data.

[0038] The upper part of the outer column of the vibrator 5 is connected to the upper horizontal plate by a spring to reduce the impact of the vibration of the clamping mechanism 6 on the test.

[0039] Step 1: Fix the clamping mechanism 6 to the steel plate below the vibrator 5 using threads. Take the aeolian sand improved soil sample 1, and then place the aeolian sand improved soil sample 1 on the clamping mechanism 6 to prevent it from shifting due to vibration; attach the accelerometer 2 to the surface of the aeolian sand improved soil sample 1 with double-sided tape.

[0040] Step 2: Connect the signal generator 3 to the power amplifier 4, connect the power amplifier 4 to the exciter 5, connect the accelerometer 2 to the dynamic data acquisition unit 7, turn on the dynamic data acquisition unit 7, and connect the dynamic data acquisition unit 7 to the data processor 8.

[0041] Step 3: Adjust signal generator 3, select a vibration wave with a frequency similar to that of a high-speed train, and start the equipment.

[0042] Step 4: The dynamic data acquisition device 7 acquires the received signals, and the data processor 8 saves, processes and analyzes the acquired data; based on multiple sets of experimental data, it is determined whether the cement-modified aeolian sandy soil exhibits similar response characteristics to other materials such as coal under the excitation of vibration waves.
