黄土与其矿物颗粒表面水膜类型及其定量表征

黏性土中细粒表面水膜是影响其物理力学性质的内在因素。经典土力学一般将土粒表面水膜分为强结合水和弱结合水，即所谓双电层模型，弱结合水的存在是土具有可塑性的原因，强弱结合水的界限含水率为塑限，该模型很好地解释了黏性土的稠度变化及其有关的物理力学行为。然而，通过等温吸附试验发现，土粒表面还存在吸附水膜，对非饱和土高吸力段的物理力学特性有重要影响。为此，本文将黄土颗粒表面水膜分为单层吸附水、多层吸附水、强结合水、弱结合水和自由水5种类型。取甘肃正宁Q2最顶层的L2黄土试样，采用等温吸附和液限、塑限测试，对该黄土样和其中的单矿物颗粒各水膜之间的界限含水率进行了定量表征，并测试黄土试样的土水特征曲线（SWCC），在SWCC上界定了这些界限含水率与基质吸力的关系。当水汽压很低时，土粒表面的吸力来自水的偶极分子与颗粒表面离子间的静电引力，形成单层吸附水，水膜厚度为1个水分子直径；离颗粒表面超出水分子直径的地方，吸力来自范德华力，水的偶极子相互靠拢呈定向排列，形成了多层吸附水；当土粒周围水分增加，颗粒表面未平衡掉的分子引力又可吸引更多的极化水分子，此时在吸附水的周围形成结合水，结合水又分为强结合水和弱结合水；吸附水和结合水膜以外的水为自由水。

Types of water film on the surface of loess and related mineral particles and their quantitative characterization

The surface water film of fine particles in cohesive soil is an internal factor that affects the physical and mechanical properties of the soil. In the classical soil mechanics, the water film on the surface of soil particles is generally divided into two layers: strong bound water and weak bound water, i. e., the so-called electric double layer model. The existence of weak bound water is the reason for the plasticity of soil, thus, the plastic limit is the boundary moisture content of strong bound water and weak bound water. The model perfectly explains the consistency change and related physical and mechanical behavior of cohesive soil. However, through the isothermal adsorption test, it is found that there is an adsorbed water film on the surface of the soil particles, which has an important impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the unsaturated soil in the high suction section. Therefore, this paper divides the water film on the surface of soil into five types: monolayer adsorbed water, multi-layer adsorbed water, strong bound water, weak bound water and free water. The L₂ loess specimen was taken from the topmost layer of Q₂ in Zhengning of Gansu Province and are used to conduct isothermal adsorption test, liquid limit test and plastic limit test, respectively, to achieve the internal minerals that make up the loess and quantitative characterization of the types of water film on the particle surface.The soil-water characteristic curves (SWCC) of the loess specimen are tested. Combined with the above test results, the relationship between these boundary moisture contents and the matrix suction is defined on the SWCC. When the water vapor pressure is very low, the suction on the surface of the soil particles comes from the electrostatic attraction between the dipole molecules of water and the ions on the surface of the particles, forming a single layer of the adsorbed water, and the thickness of the water film is one water molecule diameter. In the place beyond the water molecular diameter from the particle surface, the suction comes from the van der Waals force, and the dipoles of water are oriented toward each other, forming multi-layer adsorbed water. When the moisture around the soil particles increases, the unbalanced molecular attraction on the surface of the particles can attract more polarized water molecules, the bound water is formed around the adsorbed water, which is divided into strong bound water and weak bound water. The water outside the adsorbed water and the bound water film is free water.
