Current assessments of slope stability rely on point sensors, the results of which are often difficult to interpret, have relatively high costs and do not provide large-area coverage. A new system is under development, based on integrated geophysical–geotechnical sensors to monitor groundwater conditions via electrical resistivity tomography. So that this system can provide end users with reliable information, it is essential that the relationships between resistivity, shear strength, suction and water content are fully resolved, particularly where soils undergo significant cycles of drying and wetting, with associated soil fabric changes. This paper presents a study to establish these relationships for a remoulded clay taken from a test site in Northumberland, UK. A rigorous testing programme has been undertaken, integrating the results of multi-scalar laboratory and field experiments, comparing two-point and four-point resistivity testing methods. Shear strength and water content were investigated using standard methods, whilst a soil water retention curve was derived using a WP4 dewpoint potentiometer. To simulate seasonal effects, drying and wetting cycles were imposed on prepared soil specimens. Results indicated an inverse power relationship between resistivity and water content with limited hysteresis between drying and wetting cycles. Soil resistivity at lower water contents was, however, observed to increase with ongoing seasonal cycling. Linear hysteretic relationships were established between undrained shear strength and water content, principally affected by two mechanisms: soil fabric deterioration and soil suction loss between drying and wetting events. These trends were supported by images obtained from scanning electron microscopy.  相似文献

The effects of rate of strain on strength and deformation characteristics of soil–lime were investigated. Five strain rates (0.1, 0.8, 2.0, 4.0 and 7.0 %/min), five lime contents (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 %) by dry soil weight and three cell pressures (100, 200 and 340 kN/m2) were carried. Triaxial tests, under unconsolidated condition, were used to study the effect of strain rate on strength and initial modulus of elasticity of soil and soil–lime mixture after two curing periods 7 and 21 days, respectively. A total of 405 triaxial specimens have been tested, where 225 specimens have been tested with first curing period (7 days). The testing program includes nine specimens for each strain rate, and each lime content was carried out, including natural soil with zero lime content. Another set of triaxial tests with a total of 180 specimens for the second curing period (21 days) was prepared at optimum moisture content, and the corresponding maximum dry density was also tested. The effects of strain rate and curing period on each of stress–strain behavior, type of failure, deviator stress at failure, cohesion and angle of internal friction and initial modulus of elasticity were studied thoroughly for the natural soil as well as soil–lime mixtures. For natural soil, the test results showed that the undrained shear strength, the initial modulus of elasticity and the cohesion increase significantly as the strain rate increase, while for soil–lime mixture at different curing periods, the undrained shear strength, initial modulus of elasticity and the cohesion increases to a maximum and then decreases as the strain rate and lime content increase. Also, the same variables and angle of internal friction increase with increasing curing period.  相似文献

Studies on the chemically stabilized soils have shown that the effectiveness of treatment is largely dependent on soil??s natural environment. In this research, the time-dependent changes induced in permanent cation exchange capacity of lime and phosphoric acid treated soils, comprised mainly of montmorillonite and kaolinite minerals, were investigated. Also, in order to study the relationship between the exchange capacity and acidity/alkalinity of pore water, pH measurements were performed on cured samples. Based on the collected data, it was found that the pH of stabilized soils showed a tendency for reaching soil??s natural pH with increasing curing time. In addition, the increase in number of broken bonds around the edges of soil particles and also the formation of cementitious compounds that acquired negative charges contributed to achieving higher CECp values at longer curing periods. Nevertheless, the kaolinite mineral with pH-dependent structural properties, showed a rather limited behavior in the acidic medium. From engineering point of view, the lime treated samples revealed the highest degree of improvement with an approximately ten-fold strength increase in comparison to the natural soil over an 8?months curing period.  相似文献

The main objective of this paper is to examine how different engineering soils react to environmental variations and to provide correlations to characterize their behaviour under null external mechanical stress. Two French and two Algerian soils with liquid limits ranging from 36 to 112 were prepared under both slurry and Proctor compaction conditions, and then subjected to drying–wetting paths with suction controlled from several kPa to several hundreds of MPa. Experimental results are presented in five diagrams to show globally and simultaneously the shrinkage–swelling, saturation–desaturation and water retention characteristics. A reasonable consistency was observed between the oedometric and drying curves of slurry, confirming the equivalence between hydraulic loading (suction) and mechanical loading (consolidation stress) on the volume change behaviour of different soils. As an intrinsic parameter of soil nature, liquid limit was found to have a significant influence on the shrinkage limit, air-entry suction and compressibility of both slurry and compacted samples. For that reason, correlations between these characteristics and liquid limit were set up, providing a good basis for a first estimation of the drying–wetting curves. At the micro-scale, new experimental results were obtained: either on drying or wetting path, the micro-pores were almost unaffected, whereas, when matrix suction increased from 0.1 to 8 MPa, the volume of macro-pores decreased to quasi-closure. At last, the analogy between the compaction and drying–wetting curves, and the comparison of different methods to determine the water retention curve were addressed. Such analogies and comparisons contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of mechanical stress and suction.  相似文献

Nowadays, improving the strength and deformation properties of soft soils by deep soil mixing is a commonly used technique. There is also an increasing interest in the use of this technique for foundation/structural elements and excavation retaining walls applications. The compressive strength and elastic modulus of the soil mix material are key parameters in the design of these structures. However, there is very limited information available on the impact of exposure to air drying (in the case of retaining wall) on the strength and stiffness of cement stabilized soils. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of different curing conditions (immersion in water, cycles of wetting and drying, continuous air drying) on the mechanical properties of soils treated with cement in the laboratory. Free–free resonance tests and unconfined compression tests were performed on specimens of silt and sand treated with blastfurnace slag cement. Strength increases more rapidly than stiffness between 7 and 30 days. The strength of stabilized soils submitted to cyclic wetting and drying before the cement hydration process is complete continues to increase. As long as the periods of drying do not induce microcracks, the stiffness of the treated soil specimens also increases with time. However, the stiffness is lower than for the specimens cured in water indicating a disruptive effect of the imposed wetting–drying cycles on stiffness. Continuous exposure to air drying inhibits strength development due to insufficient water for hydration. Significant stiffness decreases were observed on specimens of stabilized silt and are attributed to microcracking.  相似文献

To characterise the water retention behaviour of fine soils, high suction values are applied. In this range of values, the vapour equilibrium technique is usually used. This paper presents an innovative device, a sorption bench that permits the determination of the water retention curve of soil. With this new testing method, the time required for testing is significantly reduced. In addition, this apparatus enables the thermal conditions of a test to be controlled; thus, the applied suction can be better controlled, and the water retention curve for different temperatures can be determined. Another valuable aspect of the device is the adopted technical solution that permits weighing of the samples inside the desiccators at any time. Consequently, the water content kinetics can be defined without disturbing the drying or wetting processes.  相似文献

对吸湿与脱湿过程中引起非饱和土土-水特征曲线滞后性质进行机制分析,认为在微观角度看,接触角的差异是主要原因。基于热力学原理,假定粒间弯液面为一圆弧,综合考虑不等径颗粒半径比、接触角等因素,应用几何关系导得了两接触土颗粒填充角之间的迭代关系,并进行编程计算。在此基础上,引入热力学弯液面压强计算公式和水量体积计算公式,得到了不等径土颗粒间基质吸力-水量计算方法。应用该方法对不同接触角条件下的单个弯液面和不同堆积形式土粒的土-水特征曲线进行了解算,结果表明,由于接触角不同,土-水特征曲线具有明显的滞后现象;孔隙填充将引起低吸力状态土体含水率增加,其对松散颗粒影响较大,含水率可增大达90%;颗粒堆积形式及级配对接触角不同引起的滞后现象影响不大。此外,仅考虑接触角因素无法解释滞回圈的形成,其计算理论有待进一步深入研究。  相似文献

由于填筑密实度、含水率的差异,整个膨胀土路堤内存在以含水率和干密度为特征的强度分区,且路堤表层土体由于直接受大气、降雨作用,温度、湿度变化频繁,胀缩变形剧烈,裂隙发育,强度将剧烈衰减。但该实际存在的强度分区一般在稳定性计算中多被简化为均质体而不能反映实际情况。强度分区法则考虑大气和气候影响以及路堤内压实度差异,并综合考虑土工格栅的作用。基于强度分区的膨胀土路基边坡稳定性的分析结果表明,强度分区法更能反映路堤土体强度差异的实际情况,能真实地体现改性处治和铺设土工格栅对路堤稳定的贡献,具有显著的优点。对于素填土膨胀土路堤,边坡表层容易发生局部浅层滑动,进而诱发和牵引发生深部滑动破坏;石灰改性后虽能提高路堤稳定性,但表层局部稳定性安全储备并不宽裕,尚未彻底根除安全隐患。土工格栅虽对整体稳定性贡献不大,但可显著提高局部稳定性,并有效地消除膨胀土路堤边坡浅表滑塌的隐患。  相似文献

膨胀土是一种气候敏感性土体,研究在干湿循环过程中膨胀土剪切强度的变化,对了解在自然界周期性蒸发和降雨作用下原位膨胀土体工程性质的变化以及由此导致的地质灾害发生过程具有重要意义。文中以重塑非饱和膨胀土为研究对象,模拟了3次干湿循环过程,对每次干燥路径中的试样进行了直剪试验,重点分析含水率、正压力及干湿循环次数对膨胀土剪切强度的影响,得到如下主要结果:(1)在干燥过程中,随着含水率的减小,试样的刚度、脆性、抗剪强度值(峰值剪切应力)、抗剪强度指标(黏聚力、内摩擦角)及抗剪强度损失(峰值强度与残余强度之差)均呈增加趋势;(2)正压力越高,试样的剪切强度和残余强度越大,而破坏后的峰值强度损失越小,破坏韧性增加;(3)在3次干燥过程中,试样的剪切强度及黏聚力呈先增加后减小的趋势,在第二次干燥过程中达到峰值,但内摩擦角受干湿循环的影响无明显规律;(4)试样经历多次干湿循环后,其剪切特性越来越类似于超固结土,脆性显著增加;(5)干燥过程和干湿循环对试样残余剪切强度的影响都不明显,残余剪切强度基本都在100 kPa附近变化;(6)非饱和膨胀土在干湿循环及干燥过程中剪切强度的变化除了与吸力有关外,还与其微观结构调整和裂隙发育状态密切相关,需要综合非饱和土力学和土质学理论对试验现象进行分析。  相似文献

The climatic zones where residual soils occur are often characterized by alternate wet and dry seasons. Laboratory studies of earlier workers have established that the alternate wetting and drying process affects the swell-shrink potentials, water content, void ratio and particle cementation of expansive soils. The influence of cyclic wetting and drying on the collapse behaviour of residual soils has not been examined. This paper examines the influence of alternate wetting and drying on the collapse behaviour of compacted residual soil specimens from Bangalore District. Results of such a study are useful in anticipating changes in collapse behaviour of compacted residual soil fills. Experimental results indicated that the cyclic wetting and drying process increased the degree of expansiveness of the residual soils and reduced their collapse tendency. Changes in the swell/collapse behaviour of compacted residual soil specimens from wetting drying effects are attributed to reduction in water content, void ratio and possible growth of cementation bonds.  相似文献

In this study, an investigation was performed to determine if lime-stabilized sand–bentonite mixtures are appropriate for the construction of sanitary landfills liners. For this aim, the hydraulic conductivity tests were conducted in the laboratory on sand–bentonite mixtures and lime-stabilized sand–bentonite mixtures to evaluate the effect of wetting–drying cycles. The hydraulic conductivity tests were performed to see if their hydraulic conductivities are affected by wetting–drying cycles. First series of specimens have been prepared as a mixture of sand and bentonite only. In the first series of specimens, sand was mixed with bentonite in proportions of 20, 30, 40, and 50 %. In the second series of the specimens, lime in proportions of 1, 2 and 3 % by weight was added to the mixtures of sand–bentonite in proportions of 20, 30, 40, and 50 %. From the results of the tests, it was observed that while optimum water content increased, maximum dry density decreased with addition of lime to the sand–bentonite mixtures. Generally, the hydraulic conductivity increased with the addition of lime to the mixtures but at low percentages of lime (1–2 %), however, slight decreases in k were recorded. It was also observed that the wetting–drying cycles on the permeability test indicate cure effect on specimens with addition of lime which resulted in decreased the hydraulic conductivity.  相似文献

膨胀土属高塑性黏土,是一种典型的非饱和土,性质极不稳定,其吸水膨胀、失水收缩、干缩裂隙发育等特性常常使建筑物产生不均匀的胀缩变形,造成在膨胀土地基上的建筑物位移、开裂、倾斜,甚至破坏,是一种典型的工程灾害性地质土。另外,膨胀土边坡也常由于雨水的作用失稳,造成不必要的损失。近年来,对膨胀土的强度和变形特性的研究已成为热点。其最大的特点是:在季节气候的影响下其强度特性具有明显的规律变动。通过模拟土体季节性的干缩湿胀,测定其自由膨胀率、液塑限、抗剪强度和无侧限抗压强度,并与掺入7%石灰后的改良土的试验数据及其他试验资料对比,探讨干湿循环效应对膨胀土强度的影响。  相似文献

全吸力范围南阳膨胀土的土-水特征曲线   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

膨胀土的失水收缩、吸水膨胀过程分别对应着土-水特征曲线的脱湿和吸湿阶段。土-水特征曲线对于研究非饱和土的水力与力学特性有着重要作用。用压力板法(吸力范围0~1.5 MPa)、滤纸法(吸力范围0~40 MPa)和蒸汽平衡法(吸力范围3~368 MPa),分别对南阳膨胀土进行了土-水特性试验,得到全吸力范围内的土-水特征曲线。试验结果表明:初始孔隙比大致相同土样的土-水特征曲线,在低吸力范围内脱湿曲线与吸湿曲线具有明显的滞回现象。当吸力大于300 MPa时,土-水特征曲线的滞回效应基本消失,即脱湿曲线与吸湿曲线基本重合。滤纸法所测出的土-水特性落在主脱湿和主吸湿曲线的滞回圈内。当吸力等于367.54 MPa时,含水率仅为0.325%,几乎近于0。孔隙比随着吸力的变化规律中,不仅受到吸力大小的影响,还受到吸力历史和吸力路径影响;孔隙比与吸力关系中,相同吸力时吸湿路径的孔隙比要比脱湿路径的大;在吸力低范围,吸湿路径与脱湿路径的孔隙比相近。孔隙比与饱和度关系因吸力路径的不同也存在着明显的滞回效应,接近饱和时趋近一致。变吸力情况条件下,饱和度随着孔隙比的增加而增加,蒸汽平衡法得出的孔隙比与饱和度的关系具有明显的线性关系,而压力板法做出来的低吸力范围内的线性关系不明显。  相似文献

This investigation employs 3D, variably saturated subsurface flow simulation to examine hysteretic effects upon the hydrologic response used to drive unsaturated slope stability assessments at the Coos Bay 1 (CB1) experimental catchment in the Oregon Coast Range, USA. Slope stability is evaluated using the relatively simple infinite slope model for unsaturated soils driven by simulated pore-water pressures for an intense storm that triggered a slope failure at CB1 on 18 November 1996. Simulations employing both hysteretic and non-hysteretic soil–water retention curves indicate that using either the drying soil–water retention curve or an intermediate soil–water retention curve that attempts to average the wetting and drying retention curves underestimates the near-surface hydrologic response and subsequently the potential for slope failure. If hysteresis cannot be considered in the hydrologic simulation, the wetting soil–water retention curve, which is seldom measured, should be used for more physically based slope stability assessment. Without considering hysteresis or using the wetting soil–water retention curve, the potential for landsliding in unsaturated materials may be underestimated and a slope failure could occur when simulations predict stability.  相似文献

为了研究在多变自然气候环境影响下新型土工材料——固化轻质土的力学特性,以自行研制的固化轻质土为研究对象,通过控制含水率变化模拟干湿循环作用,研究不同密度固化轻质土强度随干湿循环次数变化的规律。利用GCTS环剪仪对不同密度的固化轻质土分别进行单级剪切、多级剪切和预剪切3种不同形式的环剪试验,分析固化轻质土抗剪强度指标c,φ值以及残余强度在不同剪切方式下的变化规律。结果表明:在干湿循环作用下,固化轻质土的抗剪强度在剪切初期明显下降,随后趋于稳定,土体密度越大,龄期越长,衰减趋势越小。对固化轻质土孔隙率测试表明,土孔隙率随着干湿循环次数的增加呈现出先增大后趋于平缓的变化趋势,从内部机理上解释了强度的变化规律。在大变形条件下,多级剪切形式下土体残余抗剪强度最大,预剪切次之,单级剪切最小。同种剪切方式下固化轻质土的残余抗剪强度与密度和法向应力成正比。  相似文献

本文对武乡盆地黏土杂岩在反复干湿循环下的裂隙演化特征进行室内试验研究。试验采用烘干法模拟脱湿过程,水膜转移法模拟增湿过程,每完成一次脱湿增湿过程都要进行数码摄影、称重以记录裂隙变化情况,从而进行定性分析。通过应用Matlab软件进行图像处理以获取裂隙演化过程中的几何特征值。定性分析与定量分析相结合得到裂隙演化规律有:(1)脱湿过程:黏土杂岩裂隙率不断增加最终趋于稳定,第2次脱湿对裂隙率影响最大;几何特征上裂隙的变化先是沿着中间大裂隙向四周继续生长发育,然后随着循环次数增加转而形成新的大裂隙。(2)增湿过程:黏土杂岩吸水膨胀,裂隙逐渐趋于闭合,但出现不可逆形变量,随着增湿次数增加,这种累积变形量逐渐减小,第5次的干湿循环后,累积变形量基本消失,试样结构重新归于相对均一的松散结构。  相似文献

现有的土水特征曲线(SWCC)滞后性的研究多针对重塑土,原状黄土土水特征曲线滞后性特征的研究较少。为研究全吸力范围内原状黄土的滞后特征,以泾阳马兰黄土(L1)和离石黄土(L5)为研究对象,采用压力板仪和滤纸法测定增湿和减湿SWCC,采用压汞法测定孔隙分布特征,X衍射分析矿物成分。结果表明,在压力板仪测试基质吸力范围内(0~600 kPa),滤纸法和压力板仪测定的SWCC具有一致性,且在减湿过程中两种方法的测试结果更为一致。滤纸法测得的全吸力范围(0~30 000 kPa)内,黄土SWCC滞后性存在三段性特征。即在天然含水率(L1 14.2%、L5 17.3%)附近,黄土SWCC几乎无滞后性;含水率高于天然含水率一定范围(L1大于19.2%、L5大于18.3%),存在极为明显的滞后性;低于天然含水率一定范围(L1小于11.2%、L5小于15.4%),存在弱滞后性。天然状态下反复干湿循环,导致黄土SWCC在天然含水率附近无滞后性;黄土限制孔隙对墨水瓶效应的增益作用,导致高含水率下黄土SWCC呈强滞后性;黏土矿物的水合作用,导致低含水率下SWCC呈弱滞后性。  相似文献
