The invention relates to the technical field of slope
engineering test devices, and provides an experimental device and method for studying the
soil arching effect of an anti-slide
pile. Two model boxes of the experimental device are arranged on the two sides of a loading
system, and the bottom of each model box is provided with a model
pile through a
flange connecting plate and a
flange plate; therefore, the
flange connecting plates can be quickly replaced according to different
pile distance conditions to achieve pile distance adjustment. The loading
system comprises a loading testing
machine, a spherical pressure head, a distribution beam, an
electric control telescopic device, a loading plate, a
control system and a
force sensor; the two model boxes are loaded synchronously, the
control system monitors vertical loads on the two sides through the
force sensor, the
electric control telescopic device is controlled to adjust the telescopic amount according to the force value difference, and the loading error is kept within a preset error. The
data monitoring system comprises a resistance
strain gauge, a displacement meter, a soil pressure box and a
data acquisition instrument, and can obtain parameters of pile body strain, pile top displacement, soil deformation and soil pressure. By adopting the method of the device, the interaction between the slide-resistant pile and the soil body and the
soil arching effect rule under different working conditions can be simulated.
