冻融作用对饱和粉质黏土抗剪性能的影响

为研究季节冻土地区冻融作用对道路边坡土体抗剪性能的影响规律,在不同冻结和融化温度、不同冻融循环次数、开放和封闭体系条件下对冻融饱和原状粉黏土试样进行了不固结、不排水剪切试验。试验结果表明:饱和原状粉质黏土冻融后,黏聚力降低,内摩擦角增大,冻结温度越低,冻融作用对黏聚力和内摩擦角的影响越小,随着冻融循环次数的增加,5～7次冻结循环后二者的变化逐渐趋于稳定。水分补给会强化冻融作用对试验土抗剪性能的影响;融化温度对试验土的抗剪性能影响很小。     

冻融循环作用下路基土回弹模量试验研究

为研究季节冻土地区冻融循环作用对路基土回弹模量的影响,以2种路基土作为研究对象,通过风干和加湿的方法,使高50mm、直径为50mm无侧限圆柱体试件达到5种预期含水率;采用承载板法进行回弹模量试验,分析了路基土在0～12次冻融循环作用下,回弹模量随冻融循环次数变化的规律.结果表明:随着冻融循环次数的增加,土体的回弹模量减小,到第6次冻融循环后土体回弹模量衰减基本稳定.在进行季节冻土地区路面设计时,应考虑冻融循环作用对路基土的影响,建议选取第6次冻融循环后的土体回弹模量作为路基强度设计值.     

Soil partitioning and surface store controls on spring runoff from a boreal forest peatland basin in north‐central Manitoba,Canada

The mid‐ to high‐boreal forest in Canada occupies the discontinuous permafrost zone, and is often underlain by glaciolacustrine sediments mantled by a highly porous organic mat. The result is a poorly drained landscape dominated by wetlands. Frost‐table dynamics and surface storage conditions help to control runoff contributions from various landscape elements, hydrological linkages between these elements, and basin streamflow during spring snowmelt. Runoff components and pathways in a forested peatland basin were assessed during two spring snowmelts with contrasting input and basin conditions. Runoff from relatively intense melt (up to 16 mm day^?1) on slopes with limited soil thawing combined with large pre‐melt storage in surface depressions to produce high flows composed primarily of meltwater (78% of the 0·29 m³ s^?1 peak discharge) routed over wetland surfaces and through permeable upper peat layers. Melt intensity was less in the subsequent year (maximum of 10 mm day^?1) and active layer development was relatively greater (0·2 m deeper at the end of spring melt), resulting in less slope runoff. Coupling of reduced slope contributions with lower storage levels in basin wetlands led to relatively subdued streamflows dominated by older water (73% of the 0·09 m³ s^?1 peak discharge) routed through less‐permeable deeper peat layers and mineral soil. Interannual differences in runoff conditions provide important insight for the development of distributed hydrological models for boreal forest basins and into potential influences on biogeochemical cycling in this landscape under a warming climate.

Study of polluted soil remediation based on freezing and thawing cycles

It is generally known that soil pollution poses a terrible hazard to the environment, but the present techniques of contaminated soil remediation cannot control this growing threat. This paper compares the pollutant extraction efficiency of traditional pumping and treating, which is a typical washing technology for the remediation of contaminated soils, with methods that utilize freeze-thaw cycles. In the soil freezing process, water shifts from unfrozen soils to the freezing front, and the permeability of soil will be enhanced under certain temperature gradients and water conditions. Therefore, this paper discusses the purification of contaminated soil through freeze-thaw action. We conducted a cleansing experiment on clay and silica sand infused with NaCl（simulation of heavy metals） and found that the efficiency of purification was enhanced remarkably in the latter by the freeze-thaw action. To assess the effective extraction of DNAPLs in soil, we conducted an experiment on suction by freezing, predicated on the different freezing points of moisture and pollutants. We found that the permeability coefficient was significantly increased by the freezing-thawing action, enabling the DNAPL contaminants to be extracted selectively and effectively.     

Study of moisture migration in clay soils considering rate of freezing

Freezing and thawing effects of sand-silt mixtures on elastic waves

Freezing and thawing during the winter season change soil properties such as density. The density change in the particulate media influences soil stiffness. In addition, freezing of partially or fully saturated soils changes the soil matrix from a particulate media to a continuum. The goal of this study is to investigate the cyclic freezing and thawing effects on elastic waves. Sand-silt mixtures with 10% silt fraction in weight and 40% saturation are prepared. The sand-silt mixtures are placed in a nylon cell, onto which a pair of bender elements and a pair of piezoelectric disk elements are installed for the measurement of shear and compressional waves, respectively. The temperature of the mixtures decreases from 20°C to 10°C to freezing. The frozen sample is gradually thawed at room temperature (20°C). These freezing-thawing processes are repeated three times. The test result shows that the shear and compressional wave velocities significantly increase when the specimen is frozen. When the temperature is greater than 0°C, the elastic wave velocities are lower during thawing than during freezing due to soil structure change. This study demonstrates that soil structure change during the winter season may be effectively estimated from elastic waves.

干旱区土建筑遗址冻融耐久性研究

在我国的西北地区,强烈冻融、风蚀等对性质脆弱的土建筑遗址安全构成极大威胁。研究了冻融循环对土遗址耐久性的影响。选择新疆交河故城原状生土试样和重塑土试样进行了冻融循环试验,监测冻融过程中的质量变化,并在冻融循环结束后进行了风洞试验和强度试验。冻融试验结果表明,在试样初始含水率较低的情况下,前5个冻融循环,试样经历了一个质量增大的过程;在随后的冻融过程中伴随着冻干和吸湿,原状试样质量的整体趋势是减小的,重塑样质量的变化趋势维持水平。随冻融循环次数增大,原状试样的微结构出现损伤,强度减小,风蚀量增大,即耐久性持续变差。相反,冻融循环初期,重塑样的强度有所增大,风蚀量减小,耐久性得到了提高;随着冻融循环的增加,重塑样的强度开始下降。重塑试样由于重塑过程中其结构受到破坏,强度弱化,冻融循环引起重塑土的“陈化”,愈合了土体的结构,但随着冻融进行,矿物颗粒的微结构损伤不断增大,试样的耐久性降低
