Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rock-soil heat transfer, in particular to a method for calculating the thermal conductivity of saturated frozen soil, which is used for the analysis of temperature changes in cold regions and the calculation of the temperature field of frozen rock-soil during the construction process of the freezing method. And theoretical research on physical and thermal parameters of frozen soil. Background technique [0002] Thermal conductivity is an important thermal parameter of rock and soil, and an important factor affecting the temperature field of soil. Saturated normal temperature soil is composed of two phases of soil and water, so the analysis and calculation are not complicated. However, for saturated frozen soil composed of three phases of soil, water and ice, the influence of temperature needs to be considered, which increases the difficulty of analyzing the thermal conductivity of saturated frozen soil. ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, due to the imperfection of testing methods and testing theory, the accuracy of thermal conductivity of permafrost through indoor testing is not high; there are many environmental factors in the field measurement, and the operation is difficult, so it will also lead to large deviations in the test results

Calculation by theoretical formula is another important way to obtain the thermal conductivity of saturated frozen soil, but since the existing theoretical formula is evolved based on non-soil research, the applicability to saturated frozen soil composed of multi-media has yet to be verified

The thermal conductivity of saturated frozen soil can also be obtained through empirical formulas, but the empirical formulas are often obtained based on regional soil test data and cannot be applied to soils in other regions or other types of soils, so there are certain limitations
