Mechanical behaviour of expansive soils after several drying and wetting cycles     

《Geomechanics and Geoengineering》2013,8(4):213-221

This paper presents results from an experimental study performed on natural and compacted expansive soils in different loose and dense states using principally osmotic oedometers. The loose soils showed significant shrinkage, while the dense soils produced a swelling accumulation during the suction cycles. These cycles induced an equilibrium stage, which indicates an elastic behaviour of the samples under suction cycles. At the end of suction cycles, a loading/unloading test was performed on all samples at different constant suctions to define LC (loading collapse) yield curve as well as the newly defined SC (saturation curve) yield curve. Generally, the suction cycles for the looser soils approached the LC and SC yield curves while they became the same at the equilibrium state. For the denser soils producing the swelling strain accumulation, the unique LC and SC curves were activated together. Additionally, we found that at the equilibrium stage, both initially loose and dense samples presented the same mechanical parameters. In other words, the LC or SC yield curves superimposed for different initial states of the samples at the equilibrium stage. Moreover, these compression curves provided sufficient data to propose a simplified model for the mechanical behaviour of the swelling soils at the equilibrium stage.  相似文献   

An analytical model of soil–structure interaction with swelling soils during droughts     

《Computers and Geotechnics》2013

Lightly loaded structures constructed on expansive soils may develop structural damage as a result of changes in the soil’s moisture content. This study investigated an analytical model of soil–structure interaction to assess the settlement of dwellings built on swelling soils when droughts occur. The building behavior was investigated with the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, and the ground behavior was investigated with a Winkler-derived model based on the state surface approach. The analytical model results were compared to those of a finite element analysis using the Barcelona Expansive Model (BExM) performed with Code_Bright.The analytical model was then used to assess the settlement transmission ratio for a typology of clayey soils and different parameters of building. The results indicated that the final deflection of the building increased with the building length and soil suction. The building deflection due to the suction variations was inversely proportional to the load, the rigidity of the building and the embedding depth of the foundation. Increasing these parameters made the building less vulnerable to shrinkage and swelling action.  相似文献   

南水北调潞王坟段弱膨胀土膨胀性研究   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

项伟  董晓娟 《岩土力学》2012,33(4):986-992

河南新乡潞王坟段膨胀土系第三系泥灰岩风化而成,以高岭石黏土矿物为主,具有弱膨胀性,其膨胀变形特性受孔隙结构影响比较大。为了清楚地研究试验段弱膨胀土的膨胀特性,从有荷膨胀变形、膨胀应力、循环胀缩变形3个方面进行研究,得出不同于以往其他膨胀土的膨胀变形特性：（1）当初始干密度比较小时,上覆压力超过膨胀应力,此时试样遇水不发生膨胀变形,反而出现明显的湿陷现象;当压实度大于96%后,即使上覆压力超过膨胀应力,试样遇水后也不发生湿陷现象,膨胀变形随上覆压力增大而趋于稳定值;（2）试验段弱膨胀土的膨胀应力随初始含水率的增加先增大后减小,出现膨胀应力峰值;（3）随着循环胀缩级数的增加,弱膨胀土的胀缩特性迅速降低,在循环级数达到4时,其胀缩特性就趋于稳定。上述3方面的膨胀特性充分表明,该弱膨胀土的膨胀特性与孔隙结构有着密切的关系  相似文献

崩解性是膨胀岩最基本的特性之一,但在膨胀岩膨胀性的快速判别指标中少见关于崩解性及崩解物的定量指标。因此,有必要开展膨胀岩崩解物粒径分布特征和崩解性与膨胀性之间关系的研究,以对膨胀岩的快速判别进行补充。以浙江台州黑洞、蛇蟠岛和新疆大阪隧洞泥质岩样品为例,进行了干燥饱和吸水率和干燥饱和崩解试验,并分析了干燥崩解物粒径分布特征、耐崩解性指数及其与基于干燥饱和吸水率的膨胀性判别结果之间的关系。结果表明,膨胀岩膨胀性的强弱与其崩解物的最大含量粒组颗粒粒径、有效粒径和耐崩解性指数呈反相关关系。膨胀岩崩解物粒径分布的差异性对其膨胀性具有一定的指示意义。  相似文献   

Sulphate Attack in Lime-Treated Marine Clay     

G. Rajasekaran  S. Narasimha Rao 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2013,31(1-2):93-116

ABSTRACT

The use of lime to improve the properties of soft clays is not new. Recently the deep lime mixing technique has been extended to coastal regions for improving the behavior of weak marine clays. But lime treatment technique should be approached carefully for clay containing a high percentage of sodium sulphate. The presence of sulphate in lime-treated clays may result in high swelling due to the formation of the expansive mineral, ettringite. A limited study of lime-treated marine clays has shown a need to further explore the formation of ettringite and its stability with time. In this article, a laboratory investigation was carried out to examine the influence of sodium and calcium sulphates on the behavior of lime column treated marine clay. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to identify the formation of various reaction products, including ettringite. Test results indicate that the formation of ettringite in the lime-sodium sulphate-clay system adversely affects the engineering behavior of the marine clay, whereas the addition of calcium sulphate significantly improves the engineering characteristics of the soil.  相似文献   

自由膨胀比测定新方法在胜利油区砂岩储层评价中的应用     

王备战  鲁安怀  李红南  王林  徐守余 《高校地质学报》2009,15(4):557

粘土矿物的“水敏效应”是引起砂岩储层伤害的最主要原因之一。本文应用自由膨胀比试验的新方法,测定了胜利油区27个砂岩储层岩心样品,并通过X衍射对样品中粘土矿物含量的测定,建立了储层自由膨胀比与蒙脱石含量之间良好的正相关模型。该方法可以更直观、准确地描述出油气储层中粘土矿物的自由膨胀行为,并定量地反映出粘土矿物水敏性导致的储层潜在伤害,也可以用于油田防膨剂的研制,因此在油气田开发中具有较广泛的应用前景。  相似文献

谈云志  胡新江  喻波  刘晓玲  万智  张振华 《岩土力学》2014,35(3):653-658

针对目前量测土体膨胀力的主要方法所存在的不足,提出近似完全限制条件下测量土体膨胀力的改进方法。以压实红黏土为研究对象,测到不同初始状态（含水率、干密度）试样的膨胀力,并与膨胀反压法测得的膨胀力进行对比分析,发现限制膨胀方法测得的膨胀力要小于膨胀反压法的试验值。同时,显现出限制膨胀法测膨胀力具有3个主要优点：试验过程中保持土体不发生变形,更加符合膨胀力的物理定义;试验耗时少、占空间少;能测较宽含水率范围内的膨胀力。最后,利用压汞法和氮吸附法测得不同状态下土体的细观孔隙结构分布特征。结果表明：相同干密度试样,制样含水率对压实土体的孔隙分布影响显著;黏土晶间和粒间吸水自由膨胀后发生“不可逆”膨胀变形;土体发生“不可逆”膨胀变形程度是引起限制膨胀法和膨胀反压法所得试验结果出现差异的主要原因。  相似文献

敬洪武 《地质灾害与环境保护》2019,30(2):35-40

针对川中红层易引起无砟轨道上拱变形的问题,开展了川中红层泥岩膨胀特性、水理特性试验研究,在掌握川中红层泥岩膨胀、渗透特性的基础上,结合实际工程进行上拱变形病害区水文环境调查、原位抽水试验以及现场监测,揭示了川中红层的赋存水环境及其运移特征,即川中红层为相对隔水层,所夹节理裂隙及与砂岩界面是其与外界水力联系的主要形式,水力联系通道都是局部、随机分布的,且与自然降雨联系不紧密,赋存水多以透镜体形式存在。在上述特征地层中深挖无砟轨道路基,形成卸荷红层风化裂隙带的同时,改变了原有随机分布的水力联系通道,使得天然状态下相对隔水基底弱风化泥岩与外界建立新的水力联系,膨胀性红层泥岩遇水后膨胀是导致无砟轨道路基持续上拱的内在机制。  相似文献

基于岩土工程有限单元法研究了抗滑桩与周围岩土体间相互作用力的分布规律,研究结果表明,抗滑桩与围岩间相互作用力呈非线性分布.侧向膨胀力是由抗滑桩抑制围岩在重力作用下的侧向应变而产生,弹性模量对侧向膨胀力的非线性分布有重要影响.将抗滑桩锚固段某侧压应力对锚固段顶点的弯矩等效变成均匀分布力产生的弯矩,此均匀分布力为等效锚固力.等效锚固力与均布推力呈正比,比例系数随锚固比增大而减小.  相似文献

张善凯  冷先伦  盛谦  李彪  周永强 《岩土力学》2019,40(11):4279-4288

为研究卢氏膨胀岩的胀缩特性,开展了干湿循环作用下膨胀岩的胀缩特性试验研究,并在膨胀岩经历干湿循环后利用扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和氮吸附试验（NA）,从微观的角度分析了膨胀岩吸水膨胀失水收缩的现象,并解释了胀缩特性改变的原因。研究结果表明：卢氏膨胀岩膨胀率随干湿循环次数增加而增大,绝对膨胀率增加25%;收缩曲线出现明显的“收缩拐点”,一般在收缩总时间的20%时出现,这时膨胀岩失水状态由自由水的散失转变为结合水的散失;在膨胀岩第1次胀缩过程中出现裂缝,裂缝为贯通状;在之后的胀缩过程中出现的裂缝较浅且随干湿循环次数的增加裂缝发育逐渐稳定;在干湿循环次数达到6～8次后,卢氏膨胀岩胀缩率达到稳定值,绝对膨胀率稳定在17%,绝对收缩率稳定在9%;微观方面随干湿循环次数的增加,膨胀岩的微观结构中黏土颗粒聚集形态由紧密状态转变为松散状态。此外,试样的孔隙特征随干湿循环次数的增加表现出孔隙总体积逐渐增大、孔径逐渐减小、比表面积逐渐增大的规律。  相似文献
