层状盐岩蠕变变形相互作用研究

考虑泥岩夹层和盐岩的弹性性质和稳态蠕变性质,通过数值试验方法计算层状复合盐岩体在单轴和低围压三轴荷载作用下蠕变变形过程中力学相互作用和变形时效规律,分析泥岩夹层和盐岩层因蠕变率不匹配对层状盐岩蠕变的影响,初步讨论了层状复合岩体的复合材料研究方法。结果表明,层状盐岩中泥岩夹层与盐岩因弹性参数不匹配产生的初始应力集中在蠕变过程中发生松弛,因泥岩夹层与盐岩层蠕变率不匹配导致两者之间应力重分布,泥岩夹层对盐岩层的蠕变有明显抑制作用。这些分析体现了层状盐岩蠕变过程的非线性性质,为建立层状盐岩体合理本构模型奠定了基础。     

深部盐岩蠕变特性研究

通过对湖北云应的盐岩和泥岩,以及江苏金坛盐岩的单轴、三轴蠕变试验结果的分析,研究了包括应力、围压等外在条件以及内部组成结构对盐岩蠕变特性的影响。发现盐岩无论在何种围压下,稳态蠕变率都随偏应力的增加而显著地增大;围压起到限制变形的作用,而随着围压增高,围压对稳态蠕变率的影响越来越小;晶粒越大和杂质含量越多,盐岩的蠕变属性越弱。盐岩的蠕变变形是应变硬化和回复效应等内部变形机制共同作用的结果,选用内应力作为内变量可用来描述这种内部微观结构的演化过程。对云应盐岩的多级加载蠕变试验数据进行拟合,确定了非线性蠕变本构方程中的参数,理论与试验结果的比较表明,两者吻合性较好。

现代工业生产排放了大量的CO2,为了缓解CO2造成的温室效应,对CO2进行捕获并进行地下处置是减少CO2排放量的一个有效可行的措施。在各种地下处置方法和介质中,利用盐岩溶腔进行CO2地下处置具有单个溶腔处置量大、注入速度快等优点。简要介绍了盐岩CO2地下处置存在的主要岩石力学问题,即溶腔内存在长期增压的过程。综述了影响溶腔内压的主要因素及其相互耦合作用的研究进展。这些因素包括：盐岩的蠕变性、CO2的高压缩性、盐岩在高应力下的渗透性、CO2沿管鞋的渗漏等。由于我国CO2排放的持续增加,结合我国层状盐岩的地质条件和力学特性,对各种因素的耦合作用的理论研究是今后的一个重要研究方向。

对川东气田盐岩、膏盐岩进行了矿物组分测定,采用TAW-1000深水孔隙压力伺服试验系统进行了蠕变试验,分析了固有的矿物组分及偏应力、温度、围压对蠕变的影响,结合蠕变曲线和岩石参数,提出了稳态蠕变速率本构方程。研究表明：川东气田盐岩、膏盐岩矿物组分以NaCl、CaSO4为主,其中NaCl含量最高可达93%以上;岩石固有的矿物组分是影响岩石蠕变特性的内因,随NaCl含量增加,瞬态蠕变、稳态蠕变速率相应增大;随偏应力、温度的增加稳态蠕变速率增大,围压对其影响不大;通过试验数据拟合得出赫德（Heard）蠕变本构方程中的参数,求出不同偏应力、温度下盐岩、膏盐岩的稳态蠕变速率,为川东气田盐岩、膏盐岩地层安全钻进泥浆密度窗口计算和套管非正常变形分析提供了理论依据。     

Analysis of the behavior of large underground oil storage caverns in salt rock

The storage of petroleum products above ground surface has many constraints and limitations. A viable alternative is to excavate large underground spaces in rock to provide a safer way for oil storage. Soft rock formations such as salt domes provide suitable conditions from environmental and operational aspects. The potential for high volume storage and low permeability are among advantages of oil storage in caverns excavated in salt rocks. The complicated shape of oil storage caverns, complex behavior of salt rock, and boundary conditions associated with large underground openings are major challenges in the design of salt caverns excavated for oil storage purposes. In this study, the deformation mechanism and stability of salt caverns were investigated. A comprehensive 3D numerical study was carried out to investigate the effects of cavern size and depth, salt rock deformation modulus, and ground in‐situ stress regime on the behavior of large salt caverns. The stress field and deformation mechanisms were studied numerically aiming at shedding lights into the design aspects of salt caverns for oil storage. The analysis results show that the cavern safety factor is reduced as a function of cavern depth and storage volume. Also, with decrease in k (ratio of horizontal to vertical in‐situ stress), the stability of salt caverns will increase; however, with increase in salt rock young modulus, the sensitivity of cavern stability to k ratio is reduced.

卤水浸泡后盐岩声发射特征试验研究

为了研究盐穴能源地下储库建造过程中,腔体围岩处在地温、卤水和地应力地质环境中盐岩的损伤演化特点,利用声发射技术分析盐岩受不同温度的饱和卤水作用后的单轴压缩损伤破坏过程。试验发现：在一定温度的饱和卤水中浸泡30 d后盐岩的单轴抗压强度和弹性模量有所降低,但降低的平均幅度很小;卤水对盐岩主要表现为溶蚀作用,而浸泡弱化作用非常小;单轴压缩过程中盐岩的应力-应变曲线与声发射-应变曲线具有较好的一致性,卤水浸泡后盐岩的累计声发射数随卤水的温度升高略有增加;卤水作用后盐岩试件的声发射率和累计数要小于无卤水作用盐岩;盐穴建造期盐岩受一定温度的卤水作用后盐岩的强度将出现一定弱化,但卤水也会促进损伤盐岩体的重结晶恢复,盐岩的这种特性有利于盐穴建造期安全和稳定。     

不同温度条件下盐岩卤水浸泡后损伤自恢复特性

为了研究地下盐穴开挖扰动区（EDZ）损伤盐岩在盐穴综合利用过程中的自恢复特性,设计了损伤盐岩在卤水温度作用下的自恢复试验。结果表明：损伤盐岩经过卤水浸泡后在不同温度下烘干时力学性质可以得到恢复,在试验温度范围35～80 ℃内,其恢复效果随着温度的增加而增强。经过恢复处理的损伤盐岩试件二次加载时的声发射特征显示,其Felicity比低于0.1,Kaiser效应基本不成立,说明损伤盐岩在自恢复处理过程中其内部损伤在细观尺度上发生愈合。根据损伤盐岩试件自恢复处理后的细观形貌特征,总结出盐岩损伤恢复3种不同的细观机制：基于扩散作用的损伤微裂纹愈合,基于NaCl晶体重结晶作用的微裂隙充填以及破碎区NaCl晶体颗粒的愈合黏结。盐岩损伤恢复过程中,裂纹中充填的饱和卤水为裂纹中的物质传递提供了通道,同时提供了大量的结晶基础物质,为盐岩损伤愈合奠定了基础。温度的升高为盐岩损伤恢复提供了更高的能量,提升了损伤愈合速度,同时使氯化钠重结晶密度增加,从而提高了损伤恢复程度。     

一种盐岩相似材料的试验研究

目前国内外学者主要利用小尺寸盐岩试件进行盐岩造腔理论以及溶腔稳定性方面的研究,所以利用相似材料制备大尺寸型盐模拟盐岩造腔全过程,以及研究溶腔的稳定性是有必要的。利用盐屑在高压下制备成型盐,测试其溶解特性和力学特性。试验表明压制应力为40、60、80 MPa时制成的型盐,其溶解速率变化不大;在压制型盐与天然岩盐的倾角溶解试验中发现,倾角为0°、90°、180°时溶解速率分别是天然盐岩的2.15倍、1.84倍、1.77倍;型盐的单轴抗压强度同压制的应力成正比,压制应力为80 MPa时干燥型盐同天然盐岩强度相当;型盐吸水后强度有所降低,而天然盐岩吸水后强度没有明显变化。所以在适当压制力作用下,利用盐屑压制型盐代替盐岩用于造腔理论及造腔全过程试验和溶腔稳定性试验研究是可行的。     

Experimental and numerical studies of rock salt strain hardening

The work presented in this paper comes as part of a research program dealing with the thermomechanical behaviour of rock salt. It aims to study laboratory and in-situ long-term behaviour by means of creep tests with deviator and temperature changes. The laboratory results, using a triaxial multi-stages creep tests, highlighted the strain hardening character of rock salt. Furthermore, the in-situ results, using a borehole dilatometer multi-step creep test, have shown that the drilling is carried out in a weakly stressed pillar. The interpretation of the laboratory results, using the J.LEMAITRE law, did not indicate full agreement with all the test results. As a result a ‘double’ J.LEMAITRE model, which takes into account a double strain hardening variable, has been put forward. The validation of this model on the laboratory creep tests is very satisfactory. Furthermore, the activation energy seems satisfactory to represent the influence of the temperature. The in-situ behaviour modelling is clearly more complex than the modelization based on laboratory tests. In fact, it seems that if the rock salt behaviour is maintained by J.LEMAITRE law, it is necessary to vary with the stress, at least, one of the parameters assumed constant in the basic law.     

盐岩储气库运营期时变可靠度计算及风险分析

盐岩是一种典型的流变性材料,其蠕变特性对建于其中的储库稳定性具有重要影响,储库可靠性具有明显时变特性。虽然在盐岩的蠕变力学特性及其变形特性方面,前人已做了大量的研究工作,但国内外在基于随机力学理论的盐岩储备库时变可靠度风险分析方面的研究尚不多见。以国内某盐岩地下储气库为例,建立了相应的可靠度计算功能函数,开展储气库运营期时变可靠度计算及储库风险分析研究。以储库的蠕变体积收缩率为风险控制指标,采用响应面法结合Monte-Carlo抽样,对储气库进行设计运营期内不同内压条件下蠕变随机力学计算,得出了储库可靠指标随时间的变化规律及风险发生水平,拟合出满足工程可靠度要求的体积收敛率限值与储气内压的关系式,并探讨了储气库可靠性对主要随机因素的敏感性,结论可为盐岩地下储气库的安全运行和后期维护提供理论依据     

Rock–support interaction analysis based on numerical modelling

The use of yield in supports to control the final loading that develops upon a support system has been one of the most important deformation control techniques used by tunnelling engineers, both historically and currently. Successful use of this approach requires a thorough understanding of the process of rock–support interaction as it is an approach that can fail dramatically if incorrectly applied. There is a fine line between the yield support technique improving the conditions, and the approach resulting in the development of a large area of failed rock, which could ultimately be detrimental. The relationship between the support action and the rock has historically been studied using analytical approaches with the application of significant simplifying assumptions.This paper presents a new approach, where a state-of-the-art numerical model is run repeatedly to develop rock–support interaction curves. This has the advantage of allowing more realistic tunnel geometry, stress states and ground conditions to be simulated. It does, however, use the familiar output form of the relatively simple rock–support interaction curve as opposed to complex and voluminous graphics. Its disadvantage lies in the considerable number of computer runs required to develop the full solutions. Computer software has, however, been written to automate much of this process using a programming language within the modelling package.The analysis approach has been further improved by plotting not one rock–support interaction curve but a whole family of curves representing variations in the rock mass quality of the assumed ground, since this is the most variable of the input parameters for most tunnelling situations. This form of output allows engineers to study the practical range of yield they may require for their rock conditions and also to define at what rock mass quality they can expect the yielding approach to cease to be an effective strategy. This new approach has been presented on a test case history with idealized rock mass properties to illustrate the approach. However, it is an approach that can be specially tailored to any set of rock conditions, tunnel geometry or stress.     

Discontinuous behaviour near excavations in a bedded salt formation

Summary Discontinuous behaviour is being observed and measured in the vicinity of excavations constructed in a bedded salt formation 650 m below ground surface for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Facility. The 2 m thick salt layer in the immediate roof acts as a beam, shearing along a thin overlying anhydrite/clay seam. Vertical separations between the immediate roof layer and the overlying strata are often observed at the anhydrite/clay seam above the centre of excavations of larger span (11 m). The floor of the excavations is comprised of a 1 m thick salt layer underlain by a 1 m thick predominately anhydrite layer (referred to as MB139). Fractures in MB139 develop beneath most excavations, with increased fracture frequency with drift span and age. In the excavations of larger span (11 m), MB139 eventually debonds along the underlying clay layer. The salt layer overlying MB139 develops both shear and tension failure. In a few locations below excavations of large span, continuous fracture systems are developing from rib to rib through MB139 and the overlying salt. In the ribs, there is limited fracturing within the first metre of most larger excavations. Vertical fractures develop in pillars at most intersections. The discontinuous behaviour is qualitatively consistent with analyses of the formation behaving as a layered medium (elastic beam analysis) and limited tensile and compressive failure of the rock salt. The significance of the discontinuous behaviour is that it can dominate the effective fluid transport properties of the formation near the excavation, and therefore requires consideration in the design of repository seals. Discontinuous behaviour must be monitored and is an important factor in the maintenance programme designed to assure a safe underground environment.

低频循环荷载下盐岩轴向蠕变的Burgers模型分析

为了研究盐岩在低频循环荷载作用下的蠕变特性,采用恒轴压、循环围压的应力加载方式对盐岩开展了低频循环荷载蠕变试验。试验结果显示,当蠕变时间较短时,盐岩轴向蠕变曲线近似为平滑曲线,波动性不大;当时间增加到一定程度以后,盐岩变形随围压变化而发生明显的波动。总体来看,循环荷载下盐岩轴向蠕变曲线与Burgers模型蠕变曲线较为相似。将Burgers模型分解为Maxwell模型和Kelvin模型,忽略材料的疲劳效应,分别推导了恒轴压、循环围压应力加载方式下Maxwell模型和Kelvin模型的轴向蠕变方程,分析了荷载循环周期对模型蠕变性的影响规律;将循环荷载下Maxwell模型和Kelvin模型的轴向蠕变方程进行叠加,得到了循环荷载下Burgers模型的轴向蠕变方程,并利用盐岩蠕变试验结果对其合理性进行了验证。结果表明:拟合曲线和试验曲线吻合良好,该模型能够较好地反映盐岩在循环荷载作用下的蠕变特性和荷载变化对盐岩蠕变性的重要影响,特别是能够反映出不同荷载循环周期下盐岩变形随荷载变化而发生的明显的波动现象。     

基于逾渗模型的盐岩损伤与破坏研究

逾渗是一种分形模型,利用声发射点定位盐岩内部破坏网格来建立逾渗模型,可以分析三轴压缩条件下盐岩逾渗特征以及损伤演变发展。研究发现,各试样逾渗模型团簇(cluster)数与最大团簇占有率关系曲线斜率在70%应力峰值后基本相等,利用最大团簇沿试样轴向的延伸来描述裂缝的扩展规律,并通过最大团簇在轴向的延伸终点得到了各试样逾渗的临界破坏比率,它对于研究渗透陡增点非常重要。提出利用逾渗关联长度(关联长度?代表处于同一团簇中的两个点的平均距离)确定试样损伤起始点,并通过计算逾渗模型破坏比率得到损伤变量,它和基于AE振铃计数以及AE能量计算得到的损伤变量结果相近。研究结果表明,逾渗可以形象地表述岩石内部破裂过程和损伤情况,为研究岩石破坏失效及裂缝衍生发展提供了新的思路。     

盐膏层造斜井段井眼缩径及套管外载数值模拟

盐膏层是油气成藏的良好盖层,塔里木盆地多个大型油气藏都属于巨厚盐下油气藏,为了提高单井产能,决定采用定向井和水平井来开发盐下油气藏。由于盐膏层距离产层较近,需要在盐膏层进行造斜。造斜井段盐膏层井眼的缩径规律及其对套管外载的影响国内外鲜有报道。应用有限元方法建立了造斜井段砂岩和盐膏岩地层、水泥环及套管耦合的三维力学模型,以塔里木羊塔克区块岩石力学测试成果为基础,研究得到造斜段井斜和方位对井眼缩径及套管外载的影响规律。该研究成果成功应用于塔里木巨厚盐下定向井、水平井轨迹设计,钻遇盐膏层泥浆密度的确定和井身结构设计,为塔里木盐膏层钻井、完井施工提供了重要的理论参考。     

盐岩的分数阶非线性蠕变本构模型
