Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of geotechnical engineering, and in particular relates to a visual test system and method for testing seepage erosion damage of foundation pit soil. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with rapid economic development and a continuously increasing urbanization rate, the scale of large and medium-sized cities has continued to increase, and high-rise buildings are becoming ubiquitous. Better utilization of urban underground space has become a major trend, and the number of foundation pit projects for underground structures has increased. Consequently, foundation pit safety has become extremely important. In engineering construction, groundwater is always one of the key factors affecting the entire project. Groundwater is not only an important part of people's lives, but also plays an indispensable role in the construction process. Statistical analysis shows that in domestic cities with rail transit, regardless of their hydrogeological conditions, urban underground engineering accidents are primarily caused by seepage damage.

[0003] Seepage failure refers to the localized movement or loss of soil particles caused by seepage, leading to deformation and instability. In foundation pit projects, this primarily manifests as sand drift, piping, and erosion, impacting the stability of the pit and the safety of the surrounding environment. Loose soil has a high porosity. When seepage flows through its pores, soil particles obstruct the flow. Based on the principle of force interaction, the water flow generates a force (seepage pressure) acting perpendicularly to the surface of the soil particles. In addition to the seepage pressure, soil particles are also subject to tangential seepage friction. The combined effects of the seepage pressure and friction on each soil particle create the net seepage force. When the net seepage force is greater than the weight of the soil particles, the particles roll with the water flow. When the weight of the soil is less than the net seepage force generated by the water flow, the soil mass destabilizes under the influence of the water flow. There are two main forms of seepage damage: 1) Quicksand: During deep foundation pit excavation, after loose soil particles become saturated with groundwater, quicksand damage may occur due to the infiltration gradient reaching a certain value. Quicksand generally occurs when the upward seepage force is greater than the weight of the overlying soil, causing it to lift and break. Alternatively, in the case of a vertical pit wall, the horizontal seepage force only needs to overcome the frictional resistance between soil particles, causing the soil behind the pit to surge out, which can easily cause engineering accidents. 2) Piping: This occurs when water with a certain seepage velocity washes away fine particles of foundation soil, gradually increasing the voids within the soil. Fine particles then flow out through the pores of larger particles with the water flow. This often occurs in poorly graded, cohesionless soils. The continued development of piping will form cavities within the soil, posing a significant threat to the safety of the foundation pit project. The presence of foundation seepage forces affects the stress distribution of the foundation pit soil. The boundary conditions of the foundation pit project determine that the effects of seepage forces will adversely affect the overall stability of the foundation pit project. In foundation pit projects, especially in areas with abundant groundwater, anti-seepage structures play a key role in preventing groundwater seepage damage and ensuring construction safety. Different anti-seepage structures are adapted to different strata. Under the influence of the seepage field, the effective stress drop in the pit soil directly reduces the support provided by the retaining structure, causing deformation. Once seepage damage occurs, the soil in the pit completely loses its support function, seriously threatening the safety of the foundation pit project and the surrounding environment. Therefore, studying seepage erosion damage to soil in foundation pits is of great value and significance.

[0004] At present, most of the research on the seepage erosion damage of soil in foundation pits still uses self-made foundation pit seepage model boxes and supporting test equipment to simulate, observe soil damage and water head changes, study the relationship between pressure head changes and soil seepage damage, and reveal the seepage damage mechanism of foundation pit soil. The test changes the burial depth of the anti-seepage wall and other factors to observe the critical water head difference for seepage damage of soil. Combined with PLAXIS finite element numerical simulation software, the seepage field of the foundation pit is analyzed. The accuracy of the numerical simulation results mainly depends on the correctness of the established constitutive model, whether it is close to the actual situation, and whether the mechanical parameters and analysis methods used are correct. Therefore, the seepage erosion damage mechanism of foundation pit soil still remains in the qualitative stage and cannot be further quantitatively analyzed. Further research and improvement are needed.

[0005] Patent publication number CN 111337650 A discloses a multifunctional test device for studying the seepage failure mechanism of underground engineering soil. The device comprises a main housing, a loading system, a pipe simulation system, a regulating system, a foundation pit support mechanism, a measurement system, and a testing system. The main housing supports the soil, the loading system applies load to the soil, the pipe simulation system simulates pipe jacking, the regulating system supplies water to the soil and controls water pressure, the foundation pit support mechanism simulates foundation pit support, the measuring system detects pressure within the loading system and observes soil movement and changes, and the measuring system measures the particle size and amount of discharged sand. The main housing can accommodate three seepage modes: piping, sudden surge, and sand leakage caused by localized pipe erosion. The test device enables the main housing to simulate multiple groundwater modes, enabling seepage simulation under different pressure water directions at the bottom and sides. The pressure head regulating system simulates stable groundwater flow pressures of varying magnitudes. This indoor model test device is used to simulate the deformation of soil and the changes in pore water pressure under the action of groundwater, thereby better solving the problem of foundation pit damage caused by groundwater seepage. Although the above multifunctional test device can solve the problem of foundation pit damage caused by groundwater seepage to a certain extent, the above structure still has the following technical defects:

[0006] (1) The above invention patent cannot obtain the soil seepage erosion and destruction process in real time.

[0007] (2) The loading system of the above invention patent is a rigid loading system, which cannot load the force more evenly to the soil sample, and thus cannot obtain better accuracy.

[0008] (3) The above invention patent cannot quantitatively characterize the changing characteristics of internal soil particles and pore structure during the seepage erosion process. Summary of the Invention

[0059] The working method of the visualization test system for foundation pit soil seepage erosion damage testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0060] S1. Place the sample inside the cylinder 14. After placing it, tightly cover the lid 13 and the top of the cylinder 14. Then place the lower pad 16 on the top of the lifting platform 17, place the cylinder 14 on the lower pad 16, and place the upper pad 12 on the top of the lid 13. At this time, the top of the upper pad 12 is in contact with the bottom of the sensor 11.

[0061] S2. Open the booster 18 and the control valve 26 to increase the pressure in the cylinder 14, so that the sample is subjected to a certain confining pressure stress. Start the jack 23 to apply pressure in the axial direction to reach an axial pressure equal to the confining pressure, so that the sample reaches a hydrostatic stress state.

[0062] S3: Utilize the controller 8 to saturate the sample with a certain initial pressure difference through the servo water pump 7 to ensure that the pressure difference p is constant. The sample gradually tends to saturation over time. When water flows into the measuring cylinder 25, the servo water pump 7 is turned off, indicating that the sample has reached the saturation state.

[0063] S4: Start the X-ray transmitter 2, select a preheating mode based on the length of time since the last shutdown, and preheat. After the preheating is completed, the X-ray transmitter 2 emits a beam, and the array detector 6 receives the signal;

[0064] S5: Stepwise pressurization. For each step, the corresponding permeability coefficient is calculated according to Darcy's law. The mass of water flowing into the graduated cylinder 25 over a certain period of time is recorded to obtain the permeability coefficient. Each time the water pressure is increased by one level, when the water flowing into the graduated cylinder 25 just begins to become turbid, it indicates that the water is on the verge of seepage failure at this pressure. The X-ray transmitter 2 is activated for scanning. The turntable 5 drives the cylinder 14 to rotate and perform CT scanning. CT images of the soil interior during the seepage failure process are obtained in real time and three-dimensionally reconstructed.

[0065] S6: Apply loads step by step to make the sample more severely damaged by penetration. The water flowing into the measuring cylinder 25 becomes increasingly turbid until it is completely destroyed. Then the X-ray transmitter 2 stops emitting beams, all systems stop working, the CT machine radiation source is turned off, the cylinder 14 is removed, and the test ends.

[0066] S7: After all detection tasks are completed, wait for the X-ray transmitter 2 to dissipate heat, turn off the power of the X-ray transmitter 2, disconnect the switches of all subsystems except the computer, and use industrial computed tomography data processing software to perform three-dimensional reconstruction, damage evolution description and damage variable analysis on the soil sample, obtain the penetration erosion and damage process of the soil sample under different stress waves, reveal the penetration erosion and damage mechanism of the soil, and realize visualization and digital representation of the whole process.

[0067] In summary, the lifting platform in the visualization test system for seepage erosion damage testing of foundation pit soil provided by the embodiment of the present invention has a lifting and moving function, which facilitates loading. The axial load of the jack and the confining pressure of the airbag can simulate the stress state of the specimen in the foundation pit. If the pressurized axial load and the confining pressure are consistent, the specimen is in a hydrostatic pressure state. If they are inconsistent, the triaxial stress state can be explored, and the mechanism of seepage damage of different soil specimens can also be explored, enriching the experimental plan. This system uses high-energy X-ray industrial CT technology based on area array detectors to obtain real-time high-definition CT images of the entire soil specimen after seepage erosion damage, realizing visualization and digital representation of the entire process of soil seepage erosion damage.
