Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of shield slag improvement, and in particular relates to a test device for synergistically reducing clay adhesion using a chemical improvement-electroosmosis method. Background Art
[0002] The shield tunneling method, characterized by its high degree of mechanization, superior safety, and wide adaptability during construction, is playing an increasingly important role in the development of domestic rail transit. Furthermore, shield tunneling technology is widely used in a variety of engineering projects, such as highway and railway tunnels, water conservancy projects, and urban underground utility corridors, demonstrating its enormous market potential.
[0003] However, geological conditions are highly variable during shield tunneling, especially when traversing cohesive strata. Fine clay particles tend to adhere to the cutterhead. Under the combined influence of tunneling thrust and temperature, this clay gradually consolidates and hardens, ultimately forming a mud cake. As the size of the mud cake increases, the cutterhead's torque and thrust increase dramatically, resulting in a decrease in thrust speed. This also increases cutterhead temperature, exacerbating cutterhead wear and leading to a series of engineering problems, such as soil bin blockage and poor slag removal. In extreme cases, soil pressure at the tunnel face cannot be maintained, potentially causing serious engineering disasters.
[0004] Currently, to prevent sticky minerals from adhering to and clogging the metal surfaces of shield machines, soil modification techniques are often used to address the problem of cutterhead cake formation. This technique primarily involves injecting modifiers such as polymers, foaming agents, and anti-adhesive agents into the shield machine to improve the soil. Although soil modification techniques have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing cutterhead cake formation in certain strata, their successful implementation depends heavily on the geological conditions at the construction site and requires a certain level of suitability for the strata. Furthermore, construction preparation is relatively cumbersome, and chemical amendments can potentially pollute the soil environment. Electro-osmosis, as an emerging method, has been used to improve soil properties. However, there is currently a lack of effective methods to combine electro-osmosis with chemical modification to reduce soil viscosity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an environmentally friendly, efficient, and widely applicable shield cake removal technology to address these issues. Summary of the Invention
