单个粘土体裂缝中水流规律的研究

通过模型实验,研究粘土体裂缝中的水流规律,提出了临界水位上升速度的概念。水位上升速度大于临界值时,裂缝中水流量增加,反之则减少。裂缝水流量与水位不呈正比关系。指出粘土裂缝中最大水流量要比相同条件下基岩裂缝水流量小30—40倍。随着水流运动的延续,水流量将逐渐变小。在水流作用下,粘土裂缝宽度将变窄3.0—4.0cm,裂缝深度也大幅度变浅到裂缝水深的50％以上。     

砂砾岩水力压裂裂缝扩展规律的数值模拟分析

砂砾岩储层一般具有岩性和渗透性变化大、孔隙度低、连通性差、孔隙结构复杂和非均匀性严重等特点,因此,在水力压裂过程中,裂缝扩展形态难以控制,大规模改造难度大。针对国内某典型砂砾岩油藏特征,采用数值计算方法对砂砾岩压裂裂缝的扩展规律进行了研究,包括地应力场、砾石含量和粒径等对裂缝扩展形态及压裂压力的影响。研究表明,砾石的存在增加了压裂裂纹扩展的复杂性,裂纹主要有止裂、偏转、穿透和吸附4种表现模式,但主应力差严格控制着裂纹的走向,随着主应力差的增大,裂纹由总体绕砾扩展转变为总体穿砾扩展,失稳压力随着主应力差的增大而明显减小;砾石含量的多少体现了砂砾岩试样宏观的非均匀性,含量越高均匀性越差,随着砾石含量的提高,裂纹与砾石的相互作用占据主导地位,失稳压力随砾石含量的增加而增大;当砾石体积含量一定时,砾石粒径对压裂压力的影响主要取决于砾石排列的随机性,失稳压力随砾石粒径的增大而略有增大。     

水层多角度裂缝介质中子测井响应数值模拟

地球物理勘探作业中,裂缝地层是一种重要的潜在储层介质,因为其结构的复杂性和成因的特征性,裂缝介质的探测难度一直较大.为了对裂缝介质进行识别及研究,通过地球物理中子测井方法对其进行勘探研究是十分必要的.笔者应用分散多角度裂缝理论,模拟孔—裂缝介质中的含水地层,通过变化裂缝参数研究对应的中子测井数据.研究结果发现,中—低角度的裂缝介质中,热中子密度极大值比近似水平角度裂缝介质中的密度极大值大,并且其对裂缝环境参数的敏感度也明显大于其他角度裂缝介质中的热中子密度敏感度;在高角度裂缝介质中,热中子密度图分布平滑,说明高角度裂缝介质对热中子吸收作用较小;在热中子密度分布平面图中,因水中含氢量较大,热中子扩散范围小.通过分析水层中的热中子密度分布情况、密度分布极大值以及时间谱最大值,发现水层中的中子对中等角度和低角度的裂缝介质更加灵敏,且容易被慢化和吸收.这些研究结果可以为野外裂缝性介质的地球物理勘测工作提供理论指导建议.     

天然裂缝影响下的花岗岩水力裂缝扩展数值模拟

水力压裂技术是成功实现干热岩资源开发利用的重要手段之一,数值模拟技术能够精准预测水力裂缝扩展。针对典型花岗岩,借助黏性单元法,分别模拟了致密花岗岩和天然裂缝存在情况下的水力裂缝扩展特征,得出以下结论:致密花岗岩的水力裂缝形态单一,天然裂缝的存在增加了压裂后裂缝的复杂性;致密花岗岩水力裂缝拓展主要分为憋压和拓展两个交替往复的阶段,当存在天然裂隙时,水力压裂过程会变得复杂;天然裂缝存在时,水力裂缝的缝长和缝宽分别为致密花岗岩的5.7倍和1.7倍;缝网的形成需要借助复杂的压裂工艺实现。研究结果可以为增强型地热系统(EGS)储层水力刺激工作提供理论支持。

Numerical simulation of crack formation process in clays during drying and wetting

Clays generally crack upon drying and the cracks gradually close up because of expansion of the clays induced by rainfall infiltration. Based on the concept of air drainage ratio, we introduce an improved simplified consolidation theory for unsaturated soils and apply it to solve the crack formation problem. We present initial conditions, special consideration, and finite-element (FEM) formulations for simulation of cracks under axisymmetric conditions. Similar to finding solutions for sand-well consolidation problems, a prism of clays surrounded by polygonal distributed cracks is simplified as a cylinder. Numerical simulations using the FEM formulations are performed on the processes of crack occurrence, propagation, and closure during drying and wetting. To investigate the influence of air drainage ratio distribution, three different schemes are adopted for computation. It is found that the behaviour of cracks in clays during drying and wetting can be well represented using the approach proposed in the paper. The simplified consolidation theory used in the paper for unsaturated soils is more suitable for crack analysis than the general consolidation theory currently applied.     

干湿循环作用下膨胀土裂隙演化规律试验研究

对南阳膨胀土在反复干湿循环作用下的裂隙演化规律进行了室内试验研究。试验中采用烘干法模拟脱湿过程,采用抽气饱和法模拟饱和过程。在脱湿过程中,定时对土样进行称重、定点拍照,以记录裂隙发育状况。利用矢量图技术对裂隙照片进行矢量化处理,以提取裂隙的各种几何要素,继而进行裂隙度计算。裂隙度变化规律分析结果表明,影响裂隙张开程度的关键因素并非土体含水率,而是含水率梯度,而脱湿速率的空间分布、土块渗透特性以及土块尺寸大小则是决定含水率梯度大小的关键因素;膨胀土裂隙在干湿循环的作用下会逐步发育,主要体现在裂隙总面积与总长度的增加,但此作用有限,裂隙的发育达到一定程度以后便会因为土块尺寸过小而停止;反复干湿循环会使土体产生范性变形,该范性变形与完整土块的胀缩特性并无直接联系,其主要成因是裂隙的发育与土体完整性的破坏,裂隙越发育,土体范性变形量越大

干湿循环作用下红黏土收缩特征研究

以贵州某高速公路沿线红黏土为研究对象,开展了干湿循环作用后红黏土的收缩特性试验研究,探讨了干湿循环次数和初始含水率对红黏土收缩性状的影响.试验结果表明：同一循环次数内,各试样的环向收缩率在6～8 h时达到稳定,而轴向线缩率则需更长的稳定时间;随着初始含水率增加,各试样的初始轴向线缩率减小,而初始环向收缩率增加;28%含水率试样具有相近的最终轴向变形和环向变形量,而34%含水率的试样环向变形量高于轴向变形量;初始含水率变化不大,但体缩率的变化率却明显不同,说明干湿循环过程使得土体内部结构变得不稳定,但颗粒间相互作用的本质未发生明显变化;干湿循环作用对重塑红黏土最优含水率位置的基本无影响,这说明其未能改变黏土集聚体内对结合水的最大吸附能力.通过压汞试验得到了不同干湿循环作用后试样的孔隙分布情况,随着干湿循环次数的增加小孔径尺寸和分布密度改变较小,而大孔径尺寸减小,分布密度也在减小.干湿循环作用对聚集体内孔径的影响大于对微聚体内孔隙影响,与所测得的宏观收缩规律相吻合.

多次干湿循环后土-水特征曲线的模拟

目前对于土体的干湿循环过程中变形、强度变化规律研究较多,而对经过多次干湿循环后土-水特征曲线的试验研究较少。由于吸力平衡需要时间太长,对干湿循环过程中土-水特征曲线的研究也多限于单次的干湿循环试验。但考虑到实际岩土工程中气候条件的多变性和自然环境的复杂性,一般土体均要经历多次干湿循环,因此,对多次干湿循环后的土-水特性曲线研究显得非常重要。结合已有的试验数据总结脱湿曲线与吸湿曲线随着干湿循环次数的变化规律,通过引入一个与干湿循环次数有关的函数,提出能预测多次干湿循环后土-水特征曲线的方法。本方法仅需土-水特征曲线的首次干湿循环脱湿与吸湿曲线和塑性指数,就可以预测多次干湿循环后的土-水特征曲线。     

土建筑遗址干湿耐久性研究

选择新疆交河故城原状生土试样和重塑土试样进行了干湿循环试验,之后进行了风洞试验和强度试验,研究土建筑的干湿耐久性。试验结果表明,在试样原始含水率比较低的情况下,试样首先经历了一个质量增大的过程,3个干湿循环后,试样的质量变化进入一个相对稳定的范围。随着增湿与脱湿过程中伴随的水分质量的变化,试样质量的整体趋势是减小的。随干湿循环次数增大,原状试样的强度减小,风蚀量增大,即耐久性持续变差。相反,随干湿循环次数增大,重塑样的强度反而增大,风蚀量减小,即耐久性有所提高。重塑样由于重塑过程中其微观结构受到破坏,强度弱化。干湿循环在某种意义上对重塑土起到“陈化作用”,愈合损伤的微结构。初期重塑土强度随干湿循环次数的增加逐渐增强,而后强度逐渐衰减抗风蚀能力减弱。     

Influence of wetting–drying cycles on swell–shrink behaviour of GPA-reinforced expansive clay beds

ABSTRACT

Granular pile-anchor (GPA) technique is an innovative tension-resistant foundation technique which can effectively ward off the dual swell–shrink problem posed by expansive clays. The other tension-resistant foundation techniques are drilled piers, belled piers and under-reamed piles. Laboratory scale model studies and field scale experiments on GPAs revealed that swelling of expansive clay beds could be effectively controlled by GPA technique. This paper presents results obtained from laboratory scale model studies on GPA-reinforced expansive clay beds subjected to alternate cycles of wetting and drying. Swelling and shrinkage of the clay beds were monitored for three wetting–drying cycles (N) spanning a time period of 300 days. The clay beds were reinforced with varying number of GPAs (n = 0, 1, 2 and 3). Swelling (mm) and shrinkage (mm) of the clay beds in a given wetting–drying cycle decreased with increasing number of GPAs. Further, swelling (mm) and shrinkage (mm) significantly decreased with increasing number of wetting–drying cycles (N) also. For a given number of GPAs (n), swelling and shrinkage decreased with increase in depth from the top of the clay bed too.     

The impact of cyclic wetting and drying on the swelling behaviour of stabilized expansive soils

Black cotton soil (BCS) deposits, stabilized with waste materials-wood-ash and organic matter (leaves, grass, etc.) exist in BCS areas of North Karnataka, India. These ash-modified soils (AMS) are apparently stabilized by hydrated lime produced by biochemical, dissolution, and hydration reactions. The influence of cyclic wetting and drying on the swelling behaviour of wood-ash-modified BCS and laboratory lime-treated BCS specimens are examined in this study. Such a study is required to assess the long-term behaviour of chemically stabilized soils in geotechnical applications. Cyclic wetting and drying caused the AMS specimens to become more porous and less saturated. Consequently, the cyclically wetted and dried (or desiccated) AMS specimens collapsed significantly at the experimental flooding pressures. The beneficial effects of lime-stabilization of the BCS specimens were also partially lost in cyclically wetting and drying them. The clay contents of the lime-treated BCS specimens increased on cyclic wetting and drying. The increased clay contents in turn, affected their Atterberg limits and swell–shrink potentials. Partial loss of inter-particle cementation, increased porosity, and reduced degree of saturation, also imparted small to moderate collapse potentials to the desiccated lime-treated BCS specimens.     

Influence of cyclic wetting and drying on swelling behavior of mudstone in south west of Iran

Mudstone experience periodic swell and shrink behavior due to alternate wetting and drying cycles at arid and semi-arid regions with distinctive seasonal changes. This paper examines the influence of cyclic wetting and drying on swelling strain and swelling pressure to simulate the behavior of such rocks under heavy structures (such as building foundations) and behind the stiff support systems (such as concrete linings). Mudstone samples from Bakhtiari formation of Masjed-Soleiman region in south west of Iran were chosen to perform the laboratory tests. The swelling strain under different dead pressures and also swelling pressure under oedometeric condition were measured over time. The maximum swelling strain and pressure increased with each cycle but it had a bound. Increasing the number of wetting and drying cycles reduces the time required to reach ultimate swelling of mudstone. This is a very important conclusion which helps to determine ultimate swelling behavior in a faster way as opposed to performing standard swelling tests for very long periods. The laboratory’s results are also in good correspondence with field measurements.
