[0002] As underground engineering construction continues to expand, deep projects such as tunnels and mines face increasingly complex geological environments. Groundwater leakage is seriously impacting the stability of engineering structures and construction safety. Grouting technology, a common method for leakage control and reinforcement, is widely used in engineering practice. The sealing performance of grouting materials is typically evaluated through penetration tests, splitting tests, and in-situ grouting tests, aiming to verify their ability to form dense slurry consolidation within complex fracture structures.
[0003] However, most of the related technologies are based on macroscopic model tests or analysis of the final slurry consolidation body, and evaluate the macroscopic mechanical properties, permeability and other parameters of the material after injection. It is difficult to achieve dynamic observation and recording of the microscopic behaviors of grouting materials such as particle migration and deposition during the seepage process, and it is impossible to fully reveal the spatial distribution of particles in complex pore or crack structures and their evolution laws, which limits the in-depth understanding of the microscopic mechanism of grouting sealing and the accurate prediction of the sealing effect, thereby affecting the accuracy of grouting design and the reliability of construction effect, and these problems need to be solved urgently.

[0048] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0049] The following describes the analysis method and device of the plugging effect of the grouting material of the embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. The analysis of the plugging performance of the grouting material mentioned in the above background technology is mostly based on macroscopic model tests or analysis of the final slurry consolidation body, which is difficult to reflect the real propagation and plugging mechanism of the grouting material in the complex fracture and groundwater dynamic environment, and it is difficult to accurately reveal its coupling response process with the stratum, resulting in a large deviation in the prediction of the plugging effect, affecting the accuracy of the grouting design and the technical problem of construction reliability. The present invention provides a method for analyzing the plugging effect of the grouting material, in which, by collecting the image of the whole grouting process of the cement-based slurry in the micro-fracture chip, and combining image processing and particle recognition technology, the agglomeration, deposition and plugging behavior of the slurry particles in the fracture are analyzed, which can achieve accurate quantification of the performance of the grouting material, objectively reflect the differences in the fracture plugging effect and dynamic characteristics of different materials, improve the accuracy and reliability of the grouting effect analysis, and provide a scientific basis for the optimization design of the grouting material and the improvement of the construction process, which has important theoretical value and engineering practicality. This solves the problem that most related technologies are based on macroscopic model tests or analysis of final slurry consolidation bodies, making it difficult to record the microscopic changes of particles in real time and unable to fully reveal the spatial distribution and change patterns of particles, which leads to problems such as affecting the prediction of sealing effects and construction reliability.
[0050] Specifically, Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for analyzing the sealing effect of a grouting material provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the analysis method of the plugging effect of the grouting material includes the following steps:
[0052] In step S101, images of the entire grouting process of cement-based materials in micron-sized cracks or pipes are collected.
[0053] It should be noted that the device for collecting cement-based materials may include but is not limited to a peristaltic pump, a beaker, a hose, a microcrack chip, an inverted microscope, a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) high-speed camera and an image storage device. The microcrack chip may be made of a material with good light transmittance, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or glass.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the steps of collecting images of the entire grouting process may include: placing a pre-configured cement-based slurry in a beaker, placing one end of a hose in the beaker, and connecting the other end to the inlet of the micro-crack chip; using a high-precision peristaltic pump to set a constant grouting flow rate, and injecting the slurry into the micron-scale crack chip; during the grouting process, using an inverted microscope combined with an image acquisition device to collect images of the entire process of slurry particles in the microfluidic chip from the beginning to the completion of plugging at set time intervals.
[0055] In step S102, the image of the entire grouting process is subjected to error elimination and binarization processing to obtain a processed image of the entire grouting process.
[0056] In some cases, the processing of digital images may include, but is not limited to, image cropping, image brightness correction, image noise reduction, image contrast enhancement, and binarization.
[0057] Specifically, the image cropping transformation can crop out the part including the crack channel, that is, the complete crack channel, which can be Figure 3 As shown; Image brightness correction can solve the brightness error generated during image acquisition, as shown in Figure 4 As shown in the figure, image denoising can eliminate the noise generated during the shooting process, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of subsequent processing and calculation. Image contrast enhancement and binarization can evenly distribute the grayscale interval of the denoised image in the entire grayscale range (0-255). Among them, improving the overall contrast can be as follows. Figure 5 As shown; Binarization can transform the image with enhanced contrast into an image with only black and white colors, which can be Figure 6 shown.
[0058] The embodiments of the present invention can effectively improve image quality, enhance the clarity and contrast of target features, reduce noise interference, and ensure accurate identification of cracks and particle boundaries through processing such as digital image cropping, image brightness correction, image noise reduction, image contrast enhancement and binarization, thereby providing a reliable data basis for subsequent image analysis, feature extraction and quantitative evaluation, and improving the accuracy and stability of analysis results.
[0059] In step S103, edge features are extracted from the processed image of the entire grouting process to segment a plurality of particles that are adhered but not aggregated, thereby determining the particles.
[0060] Particles refer to the solid particles that remain incompletely dissolved in cement and its admixtures during the cement grouting process. They are crucial structural units of the slurry, participating in the flow, diffusion, sedimentation, hydration, and final consolidation processes. The properties of the particles directly impact the groutability, stability, sealing effectiveness, and strength of the grouting material. Agglomerated particles are formed during cement-based grouting by the aggregation of two or more particles through factors such as physical adsorption, liquid bridging forces, and cementation. These particles appear as connected or nearly connected particles in the image.
[0061] It is understandable that the embodiment of the present invention can detect particles sequentially. If multiple particles that are adhered but not agglomerated are identified as one particle, the particles are segmented and the detected particles are marked sequentially.
[0062] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, multiple particles that are adhered but not aggregated are segmented to determine the particles, including: constructing a segmentation line for the multiple particles that are adhered but not aggregated based on the extracted edge geometric topological features; and segmenting the particles according to the segmentation line to determine the particles.
[0063] The following examples are given to schematically illustrate the particle segmentation method. The embodiments of the present invention may include the following steps:
[0064] (1) According to the particle morphology of cement-based slurry, agglomerated particles exhibit the characteristic of complete particles, while adhered but unagglomerated particles exhibit the characteristic of small geometric depressions or gaps at the edges between the particles. The embodiments of the present invention can distinguish agglomerated particles from adhered but unagglomerated particles based on this characteristic.
[0065] (2) In an embodiment of the present invention, a segmentation line is constructed for particles that are adhered but not agglomerated based on geometric topological features.
[0066] (3) If Figure 7 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, particles are segmented according to the segmentation lines, and the multiple particles segmented by the segmentation lines are treated as independent particles.
[0067] The embodiment of the present invention performs particle segmentation based on geometric topological features, and can use information such as the shape, connectivity, and spatial arrangement of particles to accurately identify and separate particles that are in contact or overlapping with each other, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of segmentation.
[0068] In step S104, the area of the particles is calculated, particles with an area greater than a preset agglomerated particle threshold are determined, the agglomerated particles are marked, and the changes in the area and number of the agglomerated particles over time are obtained to generate image quantitative indicators of the plugging process.
[0069] The preset agglomeration particle threshold refers to a control upper limit set for the size or proportion of particle clusters in the slurry to ensure the dispersion and stability of the slurry during the preparation and construction of grouting materials. Once the particle size or number of particle clusters in the slurry exceeds this threshold, it can be considered that there is an agglomeration problem and adjustments can be made. The agglomeration particle threshold can be set to xμm 2 ( x It can be a value such as 600 or 700, which can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited here). Particles larger than this area value can be identified as agglomerated particles and counted, and the calculation results can be stored in a table.
[0070] As a possible implementation method, an embodiment of the present invention can calculate and mark the areas of particles in the image after particle segmentation in sequence, visualize particles of different areas, and count particles that exceed the agglomeration particle threshold and store the results in a table, thereby realizing the statistics of image quantitative indicators of the blocking process.
[0071] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the area of agglomerated particles includes: determining the agglomerated particles and marking them; obtaining the area of the agglomerated particles; setting a corresponding pseudo-color range according to the area of the agglomerated particles to generate a linear color bar and scale values; and combining the linear color bar and scale values to obtain a pseudo-color map of the area distribution of the agglomerated particles.
[0072] Specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, the visualization display can use pseudo-color coding technology to ensure that each particle has corresponding coding and area data. The area data of each particle can be mapped to the pseudo-color range (0-255), and a linear color bar and scale value can be generated to facilitate the interpretation of the area corresponding to particles of different colors, thereby obtaining the area of the desired agglomerated particles.
[0073] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, an image quantitative index of the plugging process is generated, including: based on agglomerated particles greater than a preset agglomerated particle threshold, obtaining the number of agglomerated particles, calculating the average area of the agglomerated particles, and calculating the area ratio of the agglomerated particles; and obtaining the image quantitative index based on the number of agglomerated particles, the average area of the agglomerated particles, and the area ratio of the agglomerated particles.
[0074] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, an image quantification index system with the number of agglomerated particles, the average area of agglomerated particles and the area ratio of agglomerated particles as the core corresponds to the agglomeration performance, anti-erosion performance and sealing performance of the slurry, respectively. The number of agglomerated particles can be used to reflect the aggregation ability of the slurry in the initial stage of formation, and the trend of the increase in the number can be used to evaluate the response speed of the plugging; the average area of agglomerated particles can be used to measure the merging and adhesion ability of agglomerated particles. The faster the area growth rate, the easier it is for the slurry to form a stable and erosion-resistant sealing structure; the area ratio of agglomerated particles can directly characterize the sealing degree and covering efficiency of the slurry in the crack space, and is a key indicator for evaluating the final sealing effect and sealing time. The three together constitute an image evaluation index of material performance, which can be used to compare the sealing ability and performance advantages and disadvantages of different grouting materials throughout the grouting process.
[0075] The following describes the image quantization index of the present invention in detail using a specific example. The embodiments of the present invention may include:
[0076] (1) The number of agglomerated particles can be used to reflect the agglomeration ability and plugging start-up speed of the slurry during the grouting process. Its value is the total number of individuals identified as agglomerated particles in each frame of the image.
[0077] (2) The average area of agglomerated particles can be used to measure the stability of particles attached to the wall and their ability to resist erosion. Rapid growth is conducive to the formation of a more stable plugging structure. The calculation formula can be expressed as:
[0078] ,
[0079] in, A i Indicates the i The actual area of agglomerated particles; i represents the index of agglomerated particles; n t Indicates the number of agglomerated particles in the current frame image.
[0080] It should be noted that A i The number of foreground pixels occupied by the particle in the image P i With single pixel area A pixel Multiply and calculate, that is A i =P i ×A pixel .
[0081] (3) The area ratio of agglomerated particles can be used to characterize the spatial coverage of the plugging structure formed by the slurry in the crack space. Its value is the ratio of the total area of agglomerated particles to the total area of the crack region in the image. The calculation formula can be expressed as:
[0082] ,
[0083] in, ∑A i is the sum of the areas of all agglomerated particles, S total is the total effective area of the crack channel region in the image.
[0084] In an embodiment of the present invention, by continuously extracting and trending the above-mentioned indicators along the image time series, quantitative evaluation of key properties such as grouting material agglomeration behavior, plugging speed and stability can be achieved.
[0085] Furthermore, based on the normalized three core indicators (number of agglomerated particles, average area, and area ratio), the embodiment of the present invention can construct a comprehensive evaluation formula for plugging performance.
[0086] Optionally, in one embodiment of the present invention, the comprehensive evaluation formula for the plugging performance of the analysis results of the plugging effect of the grouting material can be expressed as:
[0087] ,
[0088] in, express t The plugging performance evaluation value at the time; t Indicates time; α, β, γ Represents the weighting coefficient, satisfying α+β+γ=1 ; N max 、A max They represent the maximum values of the number and average area of agglomerated particles in the experiment, respectively; N agg Indicates the number of agglomerated particles; A avg represents the average area of agglomerated particles; R agg represents the area ratio of agglomerated particles; avg represents the average value; seal Indicates sealing effectiveness; agg Represents agglomerated particles (Aggregates).
[0089] In the embodiments of the present invention, the above index system can be used for comparative analysis and evaluation of the performance of cement-based grouting materials with different dosages or proportions, and has good comparability and engineering applicability.
[0090] In step S105, an analysis result of the plugging effect of the grouting material is generated according to the evolution curve corresponding to the image quantification index of the plugging process.
[0091] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present invention can analyze the quantitative index evolution curve of the entire grouting process in the entire image sequence, compare the differences in the sealing performance of different cement-based grouting materials, and systematically evaluate the performance advantages and disadvantages of various cement-based grouting materials, which can provide a reliable basis for material selection and parameter optimization.
[0092] The effectiveness of the method for analyzing the plugging effect of grouting materials according to an embodiment of the present invention is schematically illustrated below using a specific example.
[0093] In the embodiment of the present invention, a grouting test is performed on a micro-crack chip with a width of 500 μm, wherein the grouting flow rate is 50 μL / min, 1000 mesh ultrafine cement is used as the grouting material, and an image acquisition system is used to observe and collect the grouting process. Three quantitative indicators are obtained through image quantification technology to evaluate the sealing effect of the cement-based material.
[0094] like Figure 9 As shown, the specific steps of the embodiment of the present invention can be as follows:
[0095] (1) Image of the entire grouting process.
[0096] The embodiment of the present invention can use an image acquisition device such as a peristaltic pump to acquire images of the entire grouting process of cement-based materials in micron-sized cracks or pipes, including images of the entire process from the start to the end of grouting.
[0097] (2) Image preprocessing.
[0098] Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention can use digital image processing technology to eliminate errors and perform preprocessing such as binarization on the image, where the preprocessing content may include but is not limited to image cropping transformation, image brightness correction, image noise reduction, image contrast improvement and binarization.
[0099] (3) Image edge extraction.
[0100] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention can perform an edge extraction operation on the binarized image to further improve the particle contour precision and ensure the accuracy of the particle quantification result.
[0101] (4) Particle monitoring and segmentation.
[0102] In this embodiment of the present invention, particles can be inspected sequentially. If multiple particles that are adhered but not aggregated are identified as a single particle, these particles are segmented and the inspected particles are visualized. The main steps of particle monitoring and segmentation may include, but are not limited to, morphological processing, identification of aggregated particles, segmentation of non-agglomerated particles, and visualization.
[0103] (5) Quantitative indicator statistics.
[0104] In actual implementation, embodiments of the present invention can calculate the area of particles in the segmented image, count particles exceeding the agglomerated particle threshold, and store the results in a table, thereby achieving image quantitative metrics for the occlusion process. These metrics may include, but are not limited to, the number of agglomerated particles, the average area of agglomerated particles, and the percentage of agglomerated particle area.
[0105] As a possible way to achieve this, Figure 10 As shown, the agglomerated particle threshold can be set to 600 μm 2 , the agglomerated particles larger than this area value are counted, the calculation results can be stored in a table, and according to the image quantification of the whole process, the number of agglomerated particles, the average area of agglomerated particles, and the area ratio of agglomerated particles are made into a time relationship curve for analysis.
[0106] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention analyzes the inflection points of the curve at each key moment and the indicator evolution trend, which can be specifically as follows:
[0107] At the initial stage of grouting (0–94 s), the number and average area of agglomerated particles were low, the particles were dispersed, and no effective agglomeration structure had yet been formed. The area ratio of agglomerated particles was close to zero, and plugging had not yet begun. At 94 s, the number of agglomerated particles increased rapidly, indicating that the slurry had good initial agglomeration ability. Particles aggregated in some areas, the average area increased synchronously, and the area ratio of agglomerated particles began to increase, initially entering the plugging stage. At 163 s, the particles intensified their aggregation on the crack wall, the number of agglomerated particles remained high, the average area further increased, the agglomerated structure gradually stabilized, the area ratio increased significantly, and the plugging range expanded. At 325 s, the average area remained stable. The particles continued to expand and develop toward the middle of the channel. Their number decreased slightly, but the aggregation trend was still obvious. The area ratio of agglomerated particles increased rapidly, indicating that the agglomerated particles in the slurry had a significant blocking effect on the flow and the plugging process was accelerated. During 337–356 s, the number of particles gradually decreased, the average area increased significantly, the particles merged into larger agglomerated particles, the area ratio of agglomerated particles increased rapidly, the crack space was quickly filled, and the plugging structure tended to be complete. Finally, at 391 s, the average area reached its maximum value, the number of particles tended to stabilize, the area ratio of agglomerated particles approached the saturation value, a continuous and stable plugging structure was formed on both sides of the crack, the slurry flow was basically blocked, and the plugging effect was achieved.
[0108] By analyzing the changing inflection points and indicator evolution trends of the curve at each key moment, the embodiment of the present invention can effectively identify the start-up, acceleration and stabilization stages of the slurry plugging behavior, and provide a scientific basis and evaluation reference for the dosage control and ratio optimization of cement-based grouting materials.
[0109] (6) Comparative analysis.
[0110] The embodiment of the present invention can analyze the quantitative index evolution curve of the entire grouting process in the entire image sequence, compare the differences in the sealing performance of different cement-based grouting materials, and systematically evaluate the performance advantages and disadvantages of various cement-based grouting materials, providing a reliable basis for material selection and parameter optimization.
[0111] In an embodiment of the present invention, by relying on key indicators such as the number of agglomerated particles, average area and area ratio extracted through image processing, the full process characterization of slurry agglomeration behavior and plugging efficiency can be achieved. Through the evolution trend of the image sequence, the agglomeration rate and plugging performance of different material systems can be accurately reflected, providing a new dynamic and quantitative path for grouting performance evaluation.
[0112] According to the analysis method of the sealing effect of grouting materials proposed in an embodiment of the present invention, grouting experiments are carried out in micron-scale crack chips, and image acquisition is carried out at set time intervals. The system records the particle behavior of cement-based slurry during the entire grouting process, and the image is standardized and the particles are identified to obtain parameters such as the number, area and distribution of particles. Without relying on static instruments such as scanning electron microscopes and X-ray diffraction, it is possible to quantitatively analyze the agglomeration, deposition and sealing behavior of slurry particles in cracks, and systematically evaluate the performance of various cement-based grouting materials at the microscale, thereby providing a scientific basis for performance evaluation, dosage optimization and material selection of cement-based grouting materials, and can improve the adaptability of grouting materials and engineering application effects.
