  • Patent number: 12630993
    Abstract: A system for loading dynamic stress on subgrade or foundation based on multi-servo channel and a control method thereof. The system comprises: connecting plate; five dynamic actuators are hinged between connecting frame and the connecting plate; four of them form 4-RPR parallel mechanism, another one is arranged in middle of the 4-RPR parallel mechanism; loading part is mounted at center under the connecting frame; and restraining plate is arranged under the loading part and freely contacts with the loading part; four static actuators are arranged between the restraining plate and the connecting plate; wherein, the static actuators and dynamic actuators are dynamic-static cooperative controlled through multi-servo channel, to simulate principal stress axes rotation effect of a soil body of subgrade or foundation The system can realize the principal stress axes rotation effect in the subgrade or foundation through dynamic-static cooperative loading and can simulate different traffic load forms.

  • Patent number: 12522984
    Abstract: An adjustment method of moisture content and dense state for a hydrogel improved subgrade based on weather-resistance during an in-service period, including: step 1: carrying out surface cleaning and compaction of ground; step 2: preparing hydrogel improved subgrade raw material; step 3: paving the prepared material on the surface to form first-layer improved subgrade; and step 4: paving plain soil subgrade onto the first-layer. The method combines the water absorption and release function of the modified resin and the characteristic of the gel state thereof, to pave the improved subgrade in layers, which can absorb water and slightly expand when the water content in the subgrade is increased to a certain threshold value, and a strength and compactness protective layer can also be formed at the connection sections of the ground and the subgrade, and the subgrade and the pavement, to prevent the pot-cover effect from occurring.
