In-situ test apparatus for mechanical properties of concrete-rock bond interface Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an in-situ testing device for the mechanical properties of the bond interface between concrete and rock mass. It is applicable to the field of geotechnical engineering technology. Background Technology
[0002] Concrete, as a common building material, is widely used in water conservancy and hydropower projects, transportation tunnel projects, mining projects, and other fields. While research on the mechanical properties of concrete itself is quite mature, research on the mechanical properties of the interface between concrete and rock or soil is relatively limited, and a unified understanding has not yet been reached.
[0003] The mechanical properties of the concrete-rock interface are crucial indicators for evaluating the performance of concrete structures working together with rock masses. They are significant for the design of underground concrete lining structures, stability calculations of concrete dam foundations, and the evaluation of the anti-sliding performance of retaining walls and other support structures. Particularly in numerical simulations, the strength characteristics (shear strength, tensile strength) and deformation characteristics (normal stiffness, shear stiffness) of the concrete-rock interface are critical input parameters, significantly impacting the rationality and reliability of the calculation results. However, current methods often rely on empirical engineering approaches, resulting in poor accuracy. Overestimating the interface strength and deformation resistance may introduce risks to the project, while underestimating it could reduce its economic viability.
[0004] Currently, research on the mechanical properties of the concrete-rock bond interface, both domestically and internationally, mainly employs laboratory testing methods, while in-situ testing is relatively limited. However, laboratory testing differs significantly from field testing in terms of scale and working environment. Appendix M of the "Technical Specification for Rock and Soil Anchors and Shotcrete Support Engineering" GB 50086-2015 provides an in-situ test method for shotcrete bond strength. In the field, pull-out tests on core-isolated concrete specimens can yield the tensile strength of the bond interface, but this method cannot obtain parameters such as the shear strength and deformation characteristics of the bond interface.
[0005] Chinese patent CN 112098236 B, entitled "An In-situ Testing Device and Method for Shear Strength of Concrete-Rock-Shotcrete Interface," proposes a simple in-situ shear strength testing device that can apply normal pressure and tangential shear force to the concrete-rock-shotcrete interface under horizontal or vertical conditions. However, this method has the following shortcomings: 1. It cannot obtain the tensile strength and deformation characteristics of the bonding interface; 2. It is not suitable for the state of inclined bonding interface (such as the foundation of concrete dams); 3. It cannot eliminate the influence of the self-weight of the testing device on the test results during the test, especially when the shear strength of the bonding interface is low, the test results may have large errors; 4. It does not consider the influence of the friction between the metal pressure plate and the concrete on the test results.
[0006] In designing underground cavern linings and analyzing the anti-sliding stability of dam foundations, researchers have found that existing engineering designs rarely accurately consider the mechanical properties of the concrete-rock interface, especially in numerical simulations. Currently, either the concrete and rock are considered as common nodes without relative deformation, or inaccurate empirical values are assigned based on relevant specifications. This is mainly due to poor conditions, complex equipment, high costs, and limited applicability for in-situ testing, making it difficult to obtain the mechanical properties of the concrete-rock interface on-site. Therefore, a simple, economical, and effective in-situ testing device for the mechanical properties of the concrete-rock interface is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0083] As shown in Figures 1-9, this embodiment is an in-situ test device for the mechanical properties of the bond interface between concrete and rock mass, which mainly includes a test chamber 3, a shear loading mechanism, a shear displacement acquisition mechanism, a normal force loading mechanism, a normal displacement acquisition mechanism, and a data acquisition instrument 63.
[0084] In this example, the in-situ testing device is used in conjunction with concrete specimen 2 for testing. Concrete specimen 2 is cast on site and is located inside test chamber 3 at a certain distance from the side wall of test chamber 3. Concrete specimen 2 is in contact with the surface of rock mass 1 to form a bonding interface for testing.
[0085] In this embodiment, the test chamber 3 includes two side plates 31 located on the left and right sides of the concrete test block 2 and a top plate 32 located in front of the concrete test block 2. The two side plates and the top plate form a door-shaped arrangement. A fixed wing plate 33 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the side plate 31. The fixed wing plate 33 is provided with screw holes for fixing the test chamber 3 to the surface of the rock mass 1 by means of expansion bolts 34.
[0086] In this embodiment, the shear loading mechanism includes a first hydraulic jack 41, a shear plate 42, a shear tie rod 43, a shear bearing plate 44, and a second nut 102. The shear plate 42 is located behind the concrete test block 2 and is arranged parallel to the left and right directions. Two shear tie rods 43 are connected to both ends of the shear plate 42. The axis of the shear tie rods 43 is parallel to the front and back directions. The front end of the shear tie rods 43 passes through the round hole on the test top plate and the round hole of the shear bearing plate 44 in sequence before the second nut 102 is installed. The second nut 102 restricts the shear bearing plate 44 to be parallel to the left and right directions. The axis of the first hydraulic jack 41 is parallel to the front and back directions. The front end of the first hydraulic jack 41 is connected to the shear bearing plate 44, and the rear end is connected to the top plate 32.
[0087] In this example, the shear plate 42 is placed on the outside of the concrete specimen 2, and together with the shear tie rod 43, the shear bearing plate 44 and the first hydraulic jack 41, it forms a shear loading mechanism. During the test, an external force is applied to the shear bearing plate 44 through the first hydraulic jack 41, and then transmitted to the shear plate 42 through the shear tie rod 43, and finally applied to the concrete specimen 2.
[0088] In this embodiment, the shear displacement acquisition mechanism is used to acquire the shear displacement of the concrete test block. It includes a connecting rod 64 and a slider displacement sensor 61. The axis of the connecting rod 64 is parallel to the front-back direction. The front end of the connecting rod 64 has a ring, which is fitted onto a round rod 45. The round rod 45 is arranged parallel to the left-right direction and fixed to the shear bearing plate 44. The rear end of the connecting rod 64 is connected to the slider displacement sensor 61, which is installed on the side plate 31 of the test chamber 3.
[0089] In this example, during the shear test, the shear bearing plate 44 and the shear plate 42 behind the concrete specimen 2 move synchronously. The slider displacement sensor 61 obtains the displacement of the shear bearing plate 44, and thus obtains the shear displacement of the concrete specimen 2.
[0090] In this embodiment, the normal force loading mechanism is installed on the test chamber 3, and can apply normal force to the concrete test block 2 through the pressure plate mechanism.
[0091] In this example, the pressure plate mechanism includes an upper pressure plate 54 and a lower pressure plate 55. The lower pressure plate 55 is bonded to the upper surface of the concrete test block 2 by an adhesive 56. The upper surface of the lower pressure plate 55 has a groove with a size that matches the upper pressure plate 54. The axis of the groove is parallel to the front-back direction. Guide grooves parallel to the front-back direction are formed on the groove walls on both sides. The upper pressure plate 54 has protrusions 58 on its left and right sides that match the left and right guide grooves of the groove.
[0092] The upper pressure plate 54 is placed in the groove of the lower pressure plate 55, and the protrusion 58 is placed in the guide groove of the lower pressure plate 55. The upper pressure plate 54 can move relative to the lower pressure plate 55 in the front-back direction. The protrusion 58 cooperates with the guide groove to transfer the tensile force to the concrete specimen 2 through the lower pressure plate during the tensile test.
[0093] In this embodiment, a low-friction mechanism is provided between the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 55. The low-friction mechanism has several rollers 57. The rollers 57 are arranged in parallel left and right directions and can rotate around their own axis. They are installed at the bottom of the groove of the lower pressure plate 55. The rollers 57 are coated with lubricant to reduce the friction between the upper pressure plate 54 and the lower pressure plate 55 during the shear test.
[0094] When a shear test is performed, the normal force loading mechanism includes a second hydraulic jack 51 and a normal bearing plate 52. The normal bearing plate 52 has screw holes on both sides and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the side plate 31 of the test box 3 by screws 35 and first nuts 101. The second hydraulic jack 51 is set between the upper pressure plate 54 and the normal bearing plate 52. By applying an upward pressure to the normal bearing plate 52, the pressure is reacted onto the upper surface of the concrete specimen 2.
[0095] When conducting a pull-out test, the normal force loading mechanism includes a second hydraulic jack 51, a normal bearing plate 52, and a normal threaded rod 53. The normal bearing plate 52 is fixed to the test box 3. The normal threaded rod 53 is arranged parallel to the vertical direction and passes through the circular hole on the normal bearing plate 52. The lower end of the normal threaded rod is connected to the screw hole 59 at the center of the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 54. The upper part of the normal threaded rod 53 is connected to a third nut 103, which is located above the normal bearing plate 52. The second hydraulic jack 51 is provided between the third nut 103 and the normal bearing plate 52. The second hydraulic jack 51 can transmit the tensile force to the upper surface of the concrete specimen 2 through the third nut 103, the normal threaded rod 53, and the pressure plate mechanism.
[0096] In this embodiment, the normal displacement acquisition mechanism uses a displacement meter 62, which is in contact with the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 54. When a pull-out test is performed, the normal displacement of the concrete specimen 2 is monitored by the displacement meter 62 during the pull-out test.
[0097] In this embodiment, both the slider displacement sensor 61 and the displacement gauge 62 are connected to the data acquisition instrument 63 via data cables, enabling real-time acquisition of all monitoring data.
[0098] The basic steps of the in-situ test method for the mechanical properties of the concrete-rock bond interface using the in-situ test device in this embodiment are as follows:
[0099] The steps for conducting mechanical shear tests at the concrete-rock bond interface are as follows:
[0100] 1) Select the test location. Choose a suitable test location as needed. The rock surface at the test location can be horizontal, vertical, or inclined at a certain angle. The surface of the rock at the test location should be as smooth as possible.
[0101] 2) Pour and cure concrete test blocks. The recommended dimensions for the concrete test blocks are 200mm × 200mm × 150mm (length × width × height). Before pouring, clean the rock mass at the test site with clean water and allow it to dry. Fix the formwork and pour in the concrete, then vibrate it to ensure it is compacted. Before pouring, ensure the surface of the rock mass and the formwork are moist. Cure the concrete until it reaches the design strength, then remove the formwork.
[0102] 3) Secure the test chamber to the rock surface using expansion bolts, ensuring the concrete specimen is positioned in the center of the chamber and its side is parallel to the side plate of the chamber. When the rock surface is sloped or vertical, ensure the top plate of the test chamber is above the concrete specimen to eliminate the influence of the device's weight on the test results. Secure the slider displacement sensor to the outer surface of the test chamber's side plate using the fourth nut.
[0103] 4) Adhere the lower pressure plate to the upper surface of the concrete test block using adhesive. Apply lubricant to the roller in the groove of the lower pressure plate. Then, insert the protrusion of the upper pressure plate into the groove of the upper pressure plate and align it, as shown in Figure 9. Secure the normal bearing plate to the screw on the side plate of the test chamber using the first nut, thereby connecting the test chamber and the normal bearing plate into a whole. Place the second hydraulic jack between the upper pressure plate and the normal bearing plate to provide normal pressure, as shown in Figure 3.
[0104] 5) Place the shear plate under the concrete test block, and pass the shear tie rod through the round hole on the side of the concrete test block, the round hole on the top plate of the test chamber, and the round hole on the shear bearing plate in sequence. Place the first hydraulic jack between the top plate of the test chamber and the shear bearing plate, and screw the second nut into the shear tie rod on the outside of the shear bearing plate to complete the installation of the shear force application device.
[0105] 6) Preferably, in order to meet the test requirements, multiple parallel tests should be conducted, and it is recommended to set up 3 to 4 sets.
[0106] Bond interface shear strength test:
[0107] i. Apply normal pressure. Apply a certain pressure P1 to the upper surface of the concrete specimen using a second hydraulic jack, and maintain the pressure P1 constant during the test.
[0108] ii. Pre-applied shear force. A small initial shear force is applied to the side of the concrete specimen using the first hydraulic jack, ensuring that the shear plate fits tightly against the side of the concrete specimen.
[0109] iii. Installation of monitoring instruments. Install the connecting rod into the slider-type displacement sensor and connect and fix it to the round rods on both sides of the shear bearing plate. Connect the slider-type displacement sensor to the data acquisition instrument through the data cable and reset the initial data to zero. Monitor the shear displacement in real time during the test, and take the average value of the two instruments.
[0110] iv. Shear force application. The load was increased in stages by 5 kN each time, until the bond interface between the concrete and the rock mass failed. The shear force T and shear displacement u under each load stage were recorded.
[0111] v. Data processing. During the experiment, the normal stress at the bond interface remained constant: σ1 = P1 / A
[0112] The shear stress τ at the bond interface under each load level i Calculate as follows:
[0113] τ i = T / A
[0114] In the formula, A represents the area of the bonding interface.
[0115] Plot a curve with shear displacement u as the abscissa and shear stress τ as the ordinate, as shown in Figure 10. The slope of the initial straight segment of the curve is the shear stiffness K of the concrete-rock bond interface. S :
[0116] K S =Δτ / Δu
[0117] The peak shear stress on the shear stress-shear displacement curve is the shear strength τ of the bond interface under the normal stress σ1. f1 .
[0118] vi. By changing the normal pressure and repeating the experimental steps i~v, multiple sets of experimental results can be obtained, and the normal stress σ corresponding to each set of tests can be obtained. i and shear strength τ fi Plot the shear strength τ fi With normal stress σ i Relationship curve, based on τ f The relationship =c + σ*tanφ can be used to calculate the cohesive force c and friction angle φ at the bonding interface, as shown in Figure 11.
[0119] II. The steps for conducting mechanical pull-out tests at the concrete-rock bond interface are as follows:
[0120] 1) Select the test location. Choose a suitable test location as needed. The rock surface at the test location can be horizontal, vertical, or inclined at a certain angle. The surface of the rock at the test location should be as smooth as possible.
[0121] 2) Pour and cure concrete test blocks. The recommended dimensions for the concrete test blocks are 200mm × 200mm × 150mm (length × width × height). Before pouring, clean the rock mass at the test site with clean water and allow it to dry. Fix the formwork and pour in the concrete, then vibrate it to ensure it is compacted. Before pouring, ensure the surface of the rock mass and the formwork are moist. Cure the concrete until it reaches the design strength, then remove the formwork.
[0122] 3) Secure the test chamber to the rock surface using expansion bolts, ensuring the concrete specimen is positioned in the center of the chamber and its side is parallel to the side plate of the chamber. When the rock surface is sloped or vertical, ensure the top plate of the test chamber is above the concrete specimen to eliminate the influence of the device's weight on the test results. Secure the slider displacement sensor to the outer surface of the test chamber's side plate using the fourth nut.
[0123] 4) Adhere the lower pressure plate to the upper surface of the concrete test block using adhesive. Apply lubricant to the roller in the groove of the lower pressure plate, then insert the protrusion of the upper pressure plate into the groove of the upper pressure plate and align it. Fix the normal bearing plate to the screw on the side plate of the test chamber using the first nut, thus connecting the test chamber and the normal bearing plate into a whole. Place the second hydraulic jack on the normal bearing plate, and pass the normal threaded rod through the second hydraulic jack and the normal bearing plate in sequence, fixing it in the screw hole in the center of the upper pressure plate. Screw the third nut into the normal threaded rod on the outside of the second hydraulic jack, as shown in Figure 4.
[0124] 5) Preferably, in order to meet the test requirements, multiple parallel tests should be conducted, and it is recommended to set up 3 to 4 sets.
[0125] Bond interface tensile strength test:
[0126] i. Installation of monitoring instruments. Fix the displacement gauge in place and make it contact with the upper surface of the upper pressure plate, ensuring that the axis of the displacement gauge is perpendicular to the upper pressure plate. Connect the displacement gauge to the data acquisition instrument via the data cable and reset the initial data to zero. Monitor the normal displacement in real time during the test.
