为解决盾构隧道管片环间快速连接件容差性能差、抗拉力受限等问题,提出一种可自动适应误差、高抗拉力的环间快速连接件,通过开展连接件抗拉力学性能试验与数值模拟分析,得到连接件抗拉承载能力、抗拉刚度及结构破坏形态等主要力学性能,验证自适应误差功能下连接件拉拔性能完好性,为快速连接件的推广与应用提供研究基础。结果表明: 1)通过试验得到雌连接件插入力最大值为66.02 kN,拉拔承载力为521.49 kN,整体纵向拉拔刚度为1.72×107 N/m; 雄连接件结构单独的拉拔承载力为508.77 kN,纵向拉拔刚度为1.81×107 N/m。2)拉拔试验破坏位置基本发生在连接件锚固结构,主要受力结构均未发生明显变形破坏。3)数值模拟结果展示了连接件主要受力结构的拉拔破坏形式,连接杆发生大面积应力屈服,雄、雌连接件内部结构应力未达到屈服强度或发生局部屈服,验证了连接件受力薄弱部位为连接杆位置。4)对比雄连接件不同滑动偏移情况下的拉拔模拟结果,验证了连接件在自适应误差情况下整体拉拔性能的完好性。
The fast connectors between
rings of shield tunnel segments has poor tolerance performance and limited
tensile strength. The address these issues, a fast connector between rings with
automatic error adaptation and high tensile strength is designed and developed.
The main mechanical properties such as tensile capacity, tensile stiffness, and
structural damage morphology of the connectors are obtained by conducting
tensile performance tests and numerical simulation analysis of the connectors,
validating the perfect tensile performance of the connectors with self-adaptive error function. This provides a research foundation for the
promotion and application of fast connectors. The results reveal the following:
(1) The maximum insertion force of the female connector is 66.02 kN, the
tensile bearing capacity is 521.49 kN, the overall longitudinal tensile stiffness is 1.72×107 N/m, and the tensile bearing capacity
and the longitudinal tensile stiffness of the male connector structure are
508.77 kN and 1.81×107 N/m,
respectively. (2) The damage of the connector during tensile test basically
occurs at the anchoring structure, and no obvious deformation damage occurs in
the main stressed structure.(3) Numerical simulation results demonstrate the form of tensile damage in the
main stressed structure of the connectors. The connecting rod shows a large
area of stress yielding; the internal structural stress in the connectors does
not reach the yield strength, and no partial yielding occurs, which shows that
the connecting rod is a weak part of the connectors. (4) The tensile simulation
results of male connectors under different sliding offsets reveals the
integrity of the overall tensile performance of the connectors under self-adaptive error conditions.
