Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engineering rock mass, in particular to a method for determining the flow characteristics of grouting materials for geological fissures in rock mass. Background Art

[0002] During underground engineering activities, under the influence of factors such as mining stress fields, numerous primary and secondary through-hole fissures often appear in the surrounding rock of tunnels and the roof and floor of the mine. Coupled with the influence of hydrogeological factors, water inrush is a common occurrence. Fracture grouting and reinforcement technologies, as conventional solutions to these problems, are limited in their flow characteristics by the concealed nature of the engineering rock mass. This makes it impossible to observe the flow behavior of grouts of varying proportions within rock fissures and the grouting effect, and the only way to estimate grouting results is through field experience. The existing technology has the following problems: (1) The primary cracks in the tunnel surrounding rock and the secondary cracks developed due to engineering disturbances seriously affect the stability of the tunnel surrounding rock and the roof and floor of the mining area. At the same time, due to the concealed nature of underground engineering, when grouting technology is used to reinforce the fractured rock mass, the grouting effect is mostly estimated based on engineering experience and lacks scientific verification; (2) In the process of selecting the grouting liquid, there is little visual research on the concentration, grouting pressure and slurry flow state of the pre-grouting liquid, and there is no practical experimental method to conduct scientific research on it. Therefore, the engineering site lacks relevant theoretical support in this regard. Summary of the Invention
