Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to an intelligent equipment technical field especially relates to a sound triaxial apparatus of control matrix suction and temperature.
Background
A large number of theoretical and experimental researches at home and abroad show that the unsaturated soil behavior is highly dependent on suction and temperature, but most of the researches concern the unsaturated soil behavior under the action of monotonic load, and at present, researches in relevant documents at home and abroad concern the influence of the suction and temperature coupling action on the unsaturated soil repeated load behavior (including rebound modulus and plastic strain accumulation), which is greatly limited by the lack of large-scale dynamic triaxial test equipment capable of controlling the suction and the temperature simultaneously. The coupling mechanism of stress (super-consolidation ratio), substrate suction and temperature under cyclic loading is not completely mastered; most of the currently-developed test researches are concentrated on silt and clay, and no research is paid attention to the influence of suction and temperature coupling action on repeated loading behaviors (including modulus of resilience and plastic strain accumulation) of unsaturated coarse-grained soil roadbed filling materials at home and abroad, and the research is limited by test equipment capable of independently controlling suction and temperature.
In the prior art, a triaxial device capable of applying dynamic bias stress in the vertical direction and the lateral direction is adopted to evaluate the permanent deformation characteristic of a coarse-grained soil material under the action of a moving vehicle load and establish a corresponding accumulated plastic deformation prediction model, so that higher accumulated plastic volume strain and shear strain can be generated under the action of the moving load, and therefore, the conventional dynamic triaxial test can underestimate the accumulation of plastic deformation and cause unsafe design. Foreign scholars also quantitatively research the influence of the rotation of the main stress axis on the accumulated plastic deformation of the foundation soil by adopting an indoor test, and the result shows that the plastic deformation is accumulated at a faster rate due to the rotation of the main stress axis, and the conventional dynamic triaxial test method for evaluating the permanent deformation characteristic of the coarse-grained soil underestimates the accumulation rate. The traditional dynamic triaxial test cannot accurately simulate the dynamic stress state and stress change path borne by soil body units in the roadbed under the action of repeated moving load, so that the resilience modulus of coarse-grained soil roadbed filling is overestimated and the accumulated plastic deformation of the coarse-grained soil roadbed filling is underestimated, the design of the high-speed railway track roadbed which is not safe enough is easily caused, and the importance of accurately mastering the dynamic response rule of the roadbed is further proved.

And the matrix suction and the temperature are taken as parameters of the stress state and introduced into a prediction model for predicting the rebound modulus and the accumulated plastic deformation, so that the accuracy and the reliability of the prediction are improved.
Matrix suction control scheme
The matrix suction (namely the difference between pore air pressure and pore water pressure) is controlled by adopting an axis translation technology, and the pore air pressure and the pore water pressure are respectively and independently controlled to control the matrix suction of the soil test piece. The pore air pressure is controlled by a coarse, low air inlet value permeable stone placed on the top of the test piece, and the pore water pressure is controlled by a saturated, high air inlet value ceramic disk sealed to the base of the pressure chamber of the triaxial apparatus. Saturated ceramic disks allow moisture to pass through but prevent free air from passing through as long as the substrate suction is below its inlet value; however, air dissolved in the water may pass through the ceramic pan and accumulate at the bottom of the ceramic pan or in the drainage system. In the test, any accumulated air bubbles were flushed out and collected every 24 hours using a diffused air volume indicator, and the amount of air collected was used to correct for the measured changes in soil moisture content.

To improve the uniformity of the air temperature in the triaxial cell, two small fans are placed in the triaxial cell, which improve the air circulation, and a hollow cylindrical aluminum sheet, which improves the heat transfer due to its high thermal conductivity. To verify the temperature uniformity, two thermocouples were also installed at different locations inside the pressure chamber, measuring the air temperature at approximately 5 mm from the test piece, and when thermal equilibrium was reached, the temperature readings of the two thermocouples were approximately the same and remained essentially unchanged (maximum fluctuation 0.5 ℃).

The test material was manually compacted to maximum dry density near the optimum moisture content. The compacted test pieces were saturated with deaerated water. The substrate suction at which water begins to drain is defined as the value of the inlet air pressure. A low inlet pressure value indicates that the substrate material is typically unsaturated in the field. Prior to testing, the test specimens were saturated to remove residual matrix suction due to compaction at optimum moisture content conditions. The deaerated water was added to the sample through a high flow, high air intake ceramic plate (mounted on the specimen base plate). After the specimen is saturated, suction is applied by an air aspirator during dehumidification to achieve the target substrate suction value. The matrix suction level for each compacted test specimen is reasonably determined from the collected field test data. During the substrate suction hold, the confining pressure is maintained at the target set point, and the target substrate suction is confirmed by examining the equilibrium volume of the effluent water. Each experiment included three phases: suction equalization, temperature equalization, and repeated load-unload. In the suction range of 0-60kPa, the suction balance takes approximately 2-3 weeks; depending on the suction and temperature conditions, the temperature equilibration takes approximately 6-10 days. TDR moisture sensors are arranged at different heights of the cylindrical test piece, so that the change of the substrate suction force is monitored in real time, the distribution form of the substrate suction force along with the depth is determined, and the time point of the substrate suction force balance is determined in real time.
Has the advantages that:
substrate suction control
For unsaturated soil tests, the pore water pressure at the middle height of the soil sample can be tested, and a special suction meter can be used for measuring the negative pore water pressure of 480kPa at most, which is close to the air inlet value of the ceramic tip. The average initial suction after the test piece is compacted is measured by adopting a high-load suction meter, so that the variation situation of the measured initial suction along the height of each test piece and the difference situation among different test pieces are tested, the initial suction is ensured to be controlled within 2kPa, and the accurate control of the suction of the matrix can be realized.
Temperature control
Calibration was performed at each given temperature using a temperature controlled oven, with calibration performed under both load and unload conditions, taking into account the exposure of the strain sensor and the suction gauge to the elevated temperature environment. The calibration result shows that the influence of the temperature effect on the sensitivity, zero offset, hysteresis and the like can be almost ignored, and the temperature insensitivity of the sensors ensures that the accurate measurement of the pore water pressure and the soil deformation can be carried out under the action of temperature load.
