  By the way, in the block shear test and the lock shear test as described above, a large force applying device such as a hydraulic drive is required in order to apply a concrete block or a block-shaped rock mass. In addition, a concrete block must be placed on a rock surface or the like, and the rock must be cut into blocks, which requires large-scale equipment, equipment, and work. Furthermore, it is not easy to form a specimen having a predetermined shape without disturbing the state (property) of the rock or the like to be tested, that is, as it is, and requires a lot of time and labor. In the case of a compression test, a weight or an anchor is required to obtain a reaction force in the tensile direction. As described above, the conventional test method requires a large-scale apparatus and the like, and also requires a lot of time and labor.

  Therefore, the present invention provides an in-situ shear strength measuring device that can easily measure the in-situ shear strength of a rock or soil ground with a simple configuration, and an in-situ shear strength measurement that can be easily measured. It aims to provide a method.

In order to achieve the above object, the invention described in claim 1 is an in-situ shear strength measuring device for measuring the in-situ shear strength of a measured object such as a rock mass or a soil ground, which is in the form of a rod.

And a measuring means for measuring the displacement and the load required for extraction.
(Function)
While the measuring rod driven into the body to be measured is pulled out from the body to be measured by the pulling means, the measuring means measures the displacement of the measuring bar and the load required for pulling out.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the in-situ shear strength measuring device according to the first aspect, irregularities along the axial direction are continuously formed on the outer periphery of the measuring rod.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the displacement of the measuring rod and the load required for extraction in the state where the measuring rod driven into the measured body is pulled out, that is, the shearing force by the measured body is measured. Based on the displacement and the load, the shear strength of the measurement object can be calculated. As described above, it is possible to measure the shear strength of the measurement object with a simple configuration including the measuring rod, the pulling means, and the measuring means. Moreover, since the measuring rod is rod-shaped, it is not necessary to use a large force to pull out such a measuring rod from the object to be measured, and it is possible to configure the pulling means manually, etc., and the configuration of the apparatus is simpler. And the size of the apparatus can be reduced.

  According to invention of Claim 2, since the unevenness | corrugation along an axial direction is formed in the outer periphery of a measuring rod, it becomes possible to measure the shear strength of a to-be-measured body more accurately. In other words, when the measuring rod is pulled out from the measured object, the unevenness formed on the outer periphery of the measuring rod receives a force in a direction substantially parallel to the pulling direction, that is, a shearing force, more appropriately from the measured object. Since the cross section passes through the measured object), the shear strength at the original position of the measured object can be measured with higher accuracy.

It is easy to drive the measuring rod into the object to be measured. On the other hand, when the measuring rod is pulled out from the object to be measured, the bottom surface of the truncated cone receives the shearing force from the object to be measured more appropriately, so that the shear strength can be measured with higher accuracy.

Can do. As described above, since it is not necessary to apply a concrete block by placing a concrete block on the object to be measured or cutting the object to be measured into a block shape as in the prior art, a large-scale apparatus and work are not required. For this reason, the shear strength at the original position such as the bedrock or the soil ground can be easily measured using a simple device or the like.

  Next, an in-situ shear strength measuring method using the in-situ shear strength measuring apparatus 1 having such a configuration will be described. FIG. 7 is a process diagram showing a procedure for measuring the shear strength at the original position of the measurement object M using the in-situ shear strength measuring apparatus 1.

  First, the measurement surface of the measurement object M is surfaced and shaped (step S1), and the base unit 2 is installed on the measurement surface (step S2). That is, the base 21 of the base unit 2 is positioned on the measurement surface, and the anchor 22 is driven into the measurement target M to fix the base 21 to the measurement target M. Next, the driving unit 4 is attached to the base unit 2 (step S3), and the measuring rod 3 is driven into the measurement object M (step S4). That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the first insertion hole 41a of the mounting board 41 of the driving unit 4 is inserted into the guide tube 21c of the base unit 2, and the mounting board 41 is attached to the base 21 with the butterfly bolt 21b.

After driving the measuring rod 3 to a predetermined depth, the driving unit 4 is removed as described above, the pulling unit 5 is attached to the base unit 2, and the measuring unit 6 is further attached (step S5). That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the insertion hole 51a of the mounting board 51 of the drawing unit 5 is inserted into the guide tube 21c of the base unit 2, and the mounting board 51 is attached to the base 21 with the butterfly bolt 21b. Next, the extraction rod 54a and the measuring rod 3 are connected as described above, the displacement meter 61 and the load cell 62 are attached as described above, and the data recording device 63 is prepared for activation. Then, while taking the compression reaction force on the measurement object M, the handle 54b of the pulling device 54 is turned to extract the measurement rod 3 from the measurement object M, and the measurement data as described above is recorded by the measurement unit 6 (step). S6). Subsequently, the shear strength of the measurement object M is calculated based on the relational data between the displacement of the measuring rod 3 and the pull-out load obtained by the data recording device 63 (step S7).

Specifically, data as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is obtained by the data recording device 63. FIG. 9 shows the relationship between the elapsed time when the measuring rod 3 is pulled out and the displacement (axial displacement) of the measuring rod 3, and FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the displacement (axial displacement) of the measuring rod 3 and the extraction load (axial load). Is shown. In the data illustrated here, the measurement object 3 in Futtsu City, Chiba Prefecture is taken as the object to be measured M, and the measuring bar 3 (penetration bar) having a total length of 300 mm and an uneven surface area of 69.2 cm ² is extracted from the object to be measured M. No. in the figure. 1-No. Reference numeral 8 denotes a test number (measurement number). Then, based on the data of FIG. 10, each drawing load is divided by the surface area of the measuring rod 3 to calculate the shear stress, and the relationship between the displacement (axial displacement) of the measuring rod 3 and the shear stress as shown in FIG. Get the data. Next, the peak shear strength, the displacement at that time, and the residual shear strength are read from the data in FIG. That is, as indicated by the “↓” mark in the figure, the value with the highest shear stress is read as the peak shear strength, and the displacement of the measuring rod 3 where the peak shear strength occurs is read. Further, the shear stress when the shear stress becomes substantially constant with respect to the axial displacement (in FIG. 11, the shear stress when the axial displacement is 6 to 8 cm) is read as the residual shear strength. Depending on the object to be measured M, the residual shear strength may not be obtained, that is, the shear stress may not be constant.

  The shear strength and peak displacement obtained in this way are summarized as shown in FIG. 12 together with the color and properties of the measurement object M (rock) in each test. By accumulating such data, it is possible to analyze and grasp the physical characteristics such as the in-situ density of the measurement object M, the relationship between the rock mass classification and the shear strength.

  As described above, according to the in-situ shear strength measuring apparatus 1 and the in-situ shear strength measuring method, the displacement of the measuring bar 3 and the pulling load (with the pulling out of the measuring bar 3 driven into the measurement object M) The shear strength of the measurement object M can be calculated by measuring (shear force). As described above, it is possible to measure the shear strength of the measurement object M with an apparatus having a simple configuration including the measurement rod 3, the extraction unit 5, the measurement unit 6, and the like. Moreover, since the measuring rod 3 is rod-shaped, it is not necessary to pull out such a measuring rod 3 from the measured object M, and it can be pulled out by the manual pulling device 54 as described above. Become. For this reason, the configuration of the apparatus can be further simplified, the apparatus can be miniaturized, and in-situ measurement is facilitated in practice. In addition, since the measuring rod 3 is driven into the measurement object M and the displacement and the pulling load are measured by the measuring unit 6 while pulling out the measuring rod 3 by the pulling unit 5, the measurement of the shear strength becomes extremely easy. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to apply a concrete block by placing a concrete block on the object to be measured M or cutting the object to be measured M into a block shape as in the prior art, a large-scale apparatus and work are not required. In this way, the shear strength at the original position of the measurement object M can be easily measured with an apparatus having a simple configuration.

  Moreover, since the unevenness | corrugation as mentioned above is formed in the outer periphery of the measurement stick | rod 3, it becomes possible to measure the shear strength of the to-be-measured object M with higher precision. That is, in the state where the measuring rod 3 is pulled out from the measured object M, the unevenness formed on the measuring rod 3, that is, the force in the direction in which the bottom surface of each truncated cone is substantially parallel to the pulling direction (axial direction), that is, the shearing force. Is more appropriately received from the measurement object M (the shear surface passes through the measurement object M). For this reason, it becomes possible to measure the shear strength at the original position of the measurement object M with higher accuracy. On the other hand, since the tip of the measuring rod 3 is formed in a conical shape and is uneven so that the upper surface of the truncated cone is located on the tip, the measuring rod 3 can be easily driven into the measurement object M.

  Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and even if there is a design change or the like without departing from the gist of the present invention, Included in the invention. For example, in this embodiment, the measuring rod 3 is directly driven into the measured object M, but the internal state of the measured object M is prevented from being disturbed (such as increasing the density) by driving the measuring rod 3, In order to reduce, a pilot hole may be formed in the measurement object M before the measurement rod 3 is driven. In this case, the shear strength can be calculated and measured with higher accuracy by utilizing the resistance value of the measurement object M when forming the pilot hole as an index of the physical property value of the measurement object M.

  Moreover, a measuring rod is comprised with a pipe material, and many holes are formed in the surrounding wall of a measuring rod. Then, water or air may be supplied into the measuring rod, and positive or negative pressure may be applied to the measurement object M around the measuring rod to control the restraining pressure on the shear surface.

  Further, in this embodiment, the unevenness as described above is continuously formed on the outer periphery of the measuring rod 3, but the shape of the unevenness is not limited to the above, but the physical characteristics of the measurement object M and Of course, it should be set to a shape suitable for the property.
