Method for observing expansion procedures of soil mass shear bands in confining pressure states

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for observing expansion procedures of soil mass shear bands in confining pressure states. The method includes steps of firstly, sampling soil; secondly, carrying out shear tests, acquiring images of microscopic structures of soil masses, acquiring shear test results of to-be-tested soil samples at a plurality of different depth positions on the to-be-tested soil mass shear bands in the confining pressure states; thirdly, ranking the shear test results. When the shear tests are carried out on the to-be-tested soil samples and the images of the microscopic structures of the soil masses are acquired, procedures include clamping the soil samples and pressure devices, carrying out the shear tests, dropping solidifying liquid into the soil samples, flatly cutting the bottoms of the soil samples, propping the soil samples, flatly cutting the tops of the soil samples, fetching soil mass test specimens out of shear gaps, carrying out subsequent treatment on soil mass test specimens in the shear gaps and scanning the soil mass test specimens by the aid of electron microscopes. The method has the advantages that the method includes the simple steps, is reasonable in design and easy and convenient to implement, good service effects can be realized, the shear strength of the different depth positions on the tested soil mass shear bands in the confining pressure states and microscopic structures of shear positions can be easily, conveniently and quickly acquired, and accordingly the expansion procedures of the soil mass shear bands in the confining pressure states can be easily, conveniently and visually observed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and in particular relates to a method for observing the expansion process of a soil shear zone under a confining pressure state. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the transformation of the natural environment by human activities has become more and more intense. Human engineering activities have caused many geological disasters, which have caused great damage to people's lives and property. Among them, the slope instability induced by human activities is the most serious, and the focus of the study of slope instability is to study the deformation and expansion process of the soil shear zone. The shear zone refers to a strong deformation zone with shear strain developed in the lithosphere or soil mass, and the shear zone developed in the soil mass is a soil shear zone. This deformation zone can be a planar structure (fault) with strain discontinuity, or a ductile sh...

Problems solved by technology

Existing observation methods for the expansion process of soil shear bands have problems such as complex device structure, high test cost, cumbersome test process, poor operability, and poor use effect to varying degrees. The most important thing is that they cannot be simple, fast and accurate. Analyzing the soil microstructure of the shear zone, it is impossible to understand the influence of the soil microst
