[0003] The permeability meter is often used to measure the permeability coefficient of the soil. It belongs to a conventional geotechnical instrument. The permeability coefficient of the soil is closely related to the type of the soil itself, the structure of the soil, the temperature, the state of the load, etc., which is very complicated.
However, the function of the existing geotechnical instrument
permeameter is relatively single. The existing
permeation device can only measure the static permeability characteristic parameters of the soil under the
natural stress condition, and cannot simulate the permeability coefficient of the soil under the action of external load according to the actual situation. This is inconsistent with the actual soil environment. The actual soil is often subjected to loads, environmental loads, and construction loading and unloading, which will lead to changes in the permeability characteristics of the soil itself. The measurement of the permeability coefficient is also very important. For example, in a construction project, as the building is built, the load on the upper part of the lower soil is also in a process of change. For example, the excavation and landfill of the surrounding soil will lead to the loading and unloading of the soil, plus the entry and exit of personnel, equipment vibration and The construction load will make the soil often be in the environment of static load and dynamic load. Such external loads will cause the soil to compress and deform, the pores of the soil will be compacted, and its permeability coefficient will also change.
For another example, for sandy soil, its particle size does not move, and it is often regarded as sand particles with continuous particle size in soil theory. Fine particles and large particles together form the skeleton of the soil. In some
hydrodynamic forces In places with rich environments, such as seaside embankments or beaches, due to frequent
water level fluctuations, such as tides, under the action of
hydrodynamic forces, the fine particles of the sandy soil skeleton will flow under the action of
water flow. Its position changes accordingly, and the permeability coefficient of the soil will also change accordingly; it can only measure the change of the permeability of the soil under the condition of no loading, which cannot match the actual
engineering background; at the same time, in some alternating wet and dry In frequent areas, there will also be repeated rainfall and
evaporation cycles in the soil. The flow of gas in the soil will cause changes in the internal pores of the soil and also lead to changes in the soil permeability coefficient.
Therefore, the existing permeability test cannot measure the actual state of the soil, such as 1. The change of the permeability coefficient when the vertical load is applied
2. It is impossible to measure the change of soil permeability caused by the fluctuation of water level in the water-facing environment, which leads to the flow of soil, especially the fine particles of sand and soil, which leads to changes in the
soil structure.
3. It is impossible to measure the change of the permeability coefficient of the soil under the dry-wet cycle state
4. It is even more impossible to measure the deformation of the soil itself under the action of external loads
Therefore, the existing technology cannot simulate the change of the soil permeability coefficient under the external load according to the actual situation.
