A kind of pressure plate apparatus that can directly measure the soil sample volume changeTechnical field
The present invention relates to a kind of pressure plate apparatus device that can directly measure the soil sample volume change in the Soil Mechanics and Foundations foundation works.
Background technology
Soil-the water characteristic curve of soil claims again water characteristic curve, is the matric suction of unsaturated soil and the relation curve between gravity water cut, volumetric(al) moisture content, saturation degree or the effective saturation.Soil-water characteristic curve is with factor analysis such as the composition of the structure of soil, soil particle, pore size distribution, has reflected the hold ability of soil to moisture, and it is playing the part of important role in the research of unsaturated soil mechanics.Can determine the intensity of unsaturated soil according to soil-water characteristic curve, calculate body strain and the infiltration coefficient of unsaturated soil, can also be in order to estimate the above moisture distribution situation of ground water level.At present, the instrument of measuring the soil-water characteristic curve of soil both at home and abroad generally all is to adopt with Tempe instrument or volumetric pressure plate instrument, but these two kinds of instruments can not be measured the volume change that soil sample occurs with the increase of suction in the process of soil-water characteristic curve of measuring soil sample, it generally is the initial volume with soil sample when calculating the volumetric water content of soil sample, but the error ratio of volumetric water content of calculating like this gained is larger, and this error increases along with the increase of soil sample drawdown deformation; In order to reduce the error in this calculating as far as possible, someone adopts the measured volume change of shrinkage test to revise the volumetric water content of soil-water characteristic curve, but the boundary condition of soil sample in Tempe instrument or volumetric pressure plate instrument, there is very big-difference in the situation of soil sample in stress state and stress path and the shrinkage test, the distortion of soil sample is different with body strain in two kinds of tests, therefore, also there is significant limitation in the volumetric water content that adopts the measured volume change of shrinkage test to revise soil-water characteristic curve, and this problem does not also have good solution at present.
Summary of the invention
The volumetric pressure plate instrument of soil-water characteristic curve of solving present mensuration soil sample the objective of the invention is: for can not be measured the volume change that soil sample occurs with the increase of suction in process of the test, thereby can not accurately calculate the deficiency of soil sample volumetric water content, the invention provides a kind of volumetric pressure plate instrument apparatus that can directly measure the soil sample volume change, can measure easily the volume change of soil sample in process of the test, can accurately calculate volume change and the strain of soil sample in the different suction situations, and volumetric water content, so that the test determination result is more accurate.
For achieving the above object, the volumetric pressure plate instrument apparatus that the present invention can directly measure the soil sample volume change is comprised of pressure vessel, pressure vessel loam cake, high air-entry value ceramic wafer, horizontal displacement sensors, perpendicular displacement sensor, sensor wire, displacement sensor bracket, base; Base is provided with groove and the spiral slot that high air-entry value ceramic wafer is installed, and is connected with the displacement of volume measuring equipment by pipeline; Horizontal displacement sensors, perpendicular displacement sensor are installed on the displacement sensor bracket, and displacement sensor bracket can be installed on the base, and is placed in the pressure vessel together.
At first be that one of processing can be satisfied accommodating base, soil sample, horizontal displacement sensors, perpendicular displacement sensor, displacement sensor bracket, and with the pressure vessel of sealable sensor cable hole, osculum, air admission hole, osculum, drainpipe can be by the sealings of connecting hose connection and assurance and pressure vessel binding site.The size of pressure vessel is determined according to size and the testing requirements of soil sample, can change at base the high air-entry value ceramic wafer of different size according to the requirement of the character of soil sample and test, the range of horizontal displacement sensors and perpendicular displacement sensor and precision are determined according to the requirement of test.
High air-entry valueceramic wafer 11 is installed on thebase 12 in apparatus of the present invention, there isspiral slot 13 to link to each other withosculum 14 on thebase 12,osculum 14 is connected withdrainpipe 16 by scupper hose 15,drainpipe 16 is connected with displacement ofvolume measuring equipment 19 again,soil sample 6 is placed on the high air-entry valueceramic wafer 11, and the volume thatsoil sample 6 is discharged water just can be measured by displacement ofvolume measuring equipment 19;Displacement sensor bracket 9 is fixed on thebase 12,horizontal displacement sensors 7 andperpendicular displacement sensor 8 are installed on thedisplacement sensor bracket 9, the level thathorizontal displacement sensors 7 andperpendicular displacement sensor 8 can measuresoil sample 6 to vertical to distortion, bysoil sample 6 levels to vertical to deformation values just can calculate volume and the volume change of soil sample 6.Thereby realized easily measuring in the process of the test purpose of soil sample volume and volume change.

Embodiment
The present invention is further detailed explanation below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.Fig. 1 is the pressure plate apparatus installation drawing that can directly measure volume change that the present invention adopts the cylinder type pressure vessel, before testing, first usedsoil sample 6 is carried out suitable processing and necessary Physical And Mechanical Indexes of The Typical mensuration.
When need measuring the soil of soil sample 6-water characteristic curve, elder generation is according to character and the testing requirements ofsoil sample 6, select high air-entry valueceramic wafer 11 and suitablehorizontal displacement sensors 7, theperpendicular displacement sensor 8 of range of appropriate size, high air-entry valueceramic wafer 11 is installed atbase 12, saturated by suitable method, then put into pressure vessel 1, with connecting hose 15osculum 14 on thebase 12 anddrainpipe 16 are connected,drainpipe 16 and displacement ofvolume measuring equipment 19 connect.Soil sample 6 is placed on the high air-entry valueceramic wafer 11 successively again,displacement sensor bracket 9 is fixed on thebase 12,horizontal displacement sensors 7 andperpendicular displacement sensor 8 are installed on thedisplacement sensor bracket 9, the method of taking to suit make level thathorizontal displacement sensors 7 andperpendicular displacement sensor 8 can measuresoil sample 6 to vertical to distortion, sealing is drawn and guaranteed todisplacement transducer cable 10 from sensor cable hole 17.After being ready to, by pressure vessel loam cake handle 4 pressure vessel loam cake 2 is placed on the pressure vessel 1, and between pressure vessel 1 and pressure vessel loam cake 2, place O-ring seals 5, with bolt 3 pressure vessel 1 is connected connection closely with the pressure vessel loam cake again, in case leak-stopping gas.
