After setting the measurement temperature, stand again so that the temperatures of the kerosene and the object 8 to be measured both stably reach the set temperature, and then calculate the change amount of the reading in the precision scale glass tube 9;

[0047] S5. Turn off each instrument, take out the object 8 to be measured, remove the gas, and measure the volume change amount of the object 8 to be measured to obtain the volume of the gas discharged by the object 8 to be measured;

[0048] S6. Calculate the kerosene volatilization amount using the formula. The formula is as follows:

[0054] S8. Detect the object to be measured using a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument to measure the content of unfrozen water V liquid , and then measure the true volume V of ice in the object to be measured using the resistance method il , and calculate the volume change amount △V of ice using the ice volume change formula i , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, m soil is the mass of the object to be measured, is the water content rate of the object to be measured, is the density of water, is the density of ice;

[0057] S9. Calculate the ice particle volume change rate k 1 using the formula as follows:

[0058]

[0059] S10. Subtract the volume change amount △V of ice 1 from the total volume change amount △V of the object to be measured iObtain the volume change △V of the object to be measured soil , and the formula is as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Then, use the formula to calculate the volume change rate k of the soil particles 2 , and the formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] In this embodiment, the specific operation is as follows:

[0064] Obtain a type of soil, that is, the object to be measured 8. Use the cutting ring method to measure the porosity of the soil as n = 35%, and it can be obtained that n s = 65% (n s is the volume fraction of the solid phase skeleton of the soil mass). Measure the soil saturation S r = 50% by the capillary method, and measure the soil salt content S c = 0.4% by the conductivity method. Dry part of the soil to obtain its water content = 9%.

[0065] Take a soil sample with a volume V soil = 119 cm 3 , and a mass m soil = 255.51 g, then the object to be measured 8 is obtained.

[0066] Turn off all the instruments in this device. Then open the first end cover 5 and the second end cover 7. Wrap the obtained soil sample and the second temperature probe 14 with plastic film, discharge all the air, tie a rubber band to make it airtight, and then place it in the second container 6. Put a sealing rubber ring around the second end cover 7 and cover the second end cover 7 with the precision scale glass tube 9. Slowly pour kerosene from the mouth of the precision scale glass tube 9 until the liquid level of the kerosene is about 15 ml in the precision scale glass tube 9 and stop. Put a sealing rubber ring around the first end cover 5 and cover the first end cover 5 on the first container 4. After ensuring airtightness, start all the instruments, turn on the high-speed camera 11, and let it stand for three hours. Wait for the liquid level in the precision scale glass tube 9 to stabilize and then take a reading.

[0067] After the liquid level stabilizes, the reading is 12.77 ml. Open the visualization operation terminal 15, set the temperature to -6 °C. After both the first temperature probe 13 and the second temperature probe 14 reach -6 °C, maintain for six hours and then take a reading to ensure that the state of the soil mass and the liquid level are both stable.

[0068] The reading of the precision scale glass tube 9 obtained by the high-speed camera 11 is 8.85 ml, that is, the change amount △V c=-3.92 ml. Turn off the instrument, take out the soil sample, remove the gas, and it is found that the volume of the soil mass has changed by 1 cm 3 , that is, the gas discharged by the soil mass = 1 cm 3 .

[0069] Due to its own physical properties and the influence of the external environment, there is a certain amount of evaporation of kerosene. Use the formula: G coil =M×(0.000352 + 0.000786V)P×F×B to calculate it. Among them, the bottom area F of the precision graduated glass tube 9 = 6.25π×10-4 m 2 , the air flow velocity on the surface of the kerosene is taken as V = 0.35 m / s. The molecular weight M of the kerosene used is approximately 135.989, the correction coefficient B for kerosene evaporation = 0.15, the vapor partial pressure (mmHg) in the air at the liquid temperature P = 23.756, and the density of the kerosene used is approximately 1.1132 kg / L, and G coil = 0.00059667 L.

[0070] Use the formula: (When S r is 1, it does not exist)

[0071] Take the volume correction coefficient of kerosene = 1.5%, and the volume correction coefficient C for salt crystallization s = 10%. Substitute into the formula to get △V 1 =-2.268775369 cm 3 .

[0072] Use a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument to detect the soil sample, and measure the content V of unfrozen water liquid = 0.9 cm 3 , and use the resistance method to measure the true volume V of ice in the soil sample il = 24.2329 cm 3 , use the ice volume change formula:

[0073]

[0074] Among them, △V i is the true volume of ice in the soil sample minus the theoretical volume of ice in the soil sample (the mass of water minus the mass of unfrozen water divided by the density of ice), which is the change volume of ice. The density of water = 1 g / cm 3 , and the density of ice = 0.9 g / cm 3 , and △V i =-0.3181 cm 3 .

[0075] Through the formula for the volume change rate of ice particles:

[0076]

[0077] k can be obtained 1 = -1.3126782%, representing a 1.3126782% reduction in the volume of ice particles.

[0078] The change in the total volume of the soil sample minus the change in the volume of ice gives the change in the volume of the soil, , that is, △V soil = -1.950675369 cm 3 .

[0079] The volume change rate of the soil is equal to the change in the volume of the soil divided by the total volume of the soil minus the volume of air, ice, and water in the soil

[0080] Through the formula for the volume change rate of soil particles, it can be obtained that:

[0081]

[0082] The volume change rate k of soil particles 2 = -2.1000502%, representing a 2.1000502% reduction in the volume of soil particles.

[0083] Therefore, by using the above device and calculation method for measuring the volume deformation of particles, the volume changes of soil particles and ice particles can be accurately measured, which is convenient for judging whether the object to be measured is in a "frost heaving" or "frost shrinking" state.

[0084] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify or equivalently replace the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot make the modified technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
