Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of civil engineering, and in particular relates to a seepage test device applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples, and also relates to a seepage test method applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples. Background Art

[0002] Water seepage damage causes cultural relics to cycle between wet and dry throughout the year, accelerating their weathering process and the accumulation of soluble salts. It is one of the most significant causes of weathering in stone cultural relics. Depending on the amount of water seeping through the rock wall and the cause of the damage, water seepage damage can be divided into seven types: flowing water, dripping water, hanging water, seepage water, wetting water, damp / moisture-like conditions, and areas with abnormally high water content. Groundwater seepage, in various forms (bound water, capillary water, gravity water) and in various ways (wetting and softening, mechanical erosion, chemical dissolution), slowly and periodically affects the rock wall. Combined with other weathering forces, this ultimately causes the statues to become gradually defaced, deformed, blurred, and even destroyed.

[0003] The interconnected network formed by various types of discontinuous structural surfaces in the grotto rock mass is an important path and major contributor to the occurrence of seepage diseases. These discontinuous structural surfaces include layers, bedding, faults, cracks, weak interlayers along the layers, etc., collectively referred to as seepage media. The permeability characteristics of various types of seepage media are the key to studying the formation mechanism and seepage path of seepage diseases in grotto temples, and the permeability coefficient is a key indicator for measuring the permeability characteristics of seepage media. At present, the indoor seepage test devices used to determine the permeability coefficient are divided into rigid wall permeameters and flexible wall permeameters. When the infiltration pressure is large, it is difficult for the rigid wall permeameter to avoid the occurrence of preferential flow between the rock and soil sample and the instrument wall. Although the occurrence of preferential flow can be avoided by loading a certain confining pressure, the combined effect of the confining pressure and the infiltration water pressure will cause the crack opening of the cracked specimen to change during the test. The flexible wall permeameter can effectively avoid the occurrence of preferential flow, but it has high requirements for the production of test samples. For indoor seepage tests on different seepage media, the existing indoor seepage test devices have certain limitations:

[0004] To address seepage in fractured media, existing techniques prepare fractured specimens through splitting tests, artificial cutting, and 3D printing. However, the rock fractures obtained through splitting tests are too smooth, those obtained through artificial cutting are too ideal, and 3D printing uses rock-similar materials. The rock fractures obtained through these methods differ significantly from the original fractures and are insufficient to fully reflect the rough structure of the fracture walls. When studying the effect of fracture occurrence on permeability, fracture specimens with varying inclination angles must be prepared, making it impossible to conduct tests with varying seepage directions. For rough fractures, seepage often occurs as channel flow or localized flow, making it difficult to observe this flow with existing seepage testing equipment.

[0005] Regarding the seepage problem of layers (also known as interlayer cracks) and weak interlayers along the layers, the seepage direction is horizontal. Currently known seepage test devices usually place rock and soil samples vertically in a permeability chamber, so that the seepage can be carried out perpendicular to the sample from top to bottom or from bottom to top, which is somewhat different from the actual situation. There is a horizontal seepage simulation device for rock and soil media with an adjustable sample pool size in the prior art, but the rock and soil samples are fixed horizontally on the base by a sample clamp, which will change the opening of the interlayer cracks and the integrity of the weak interlayers along the layers. In addition, for cave temples, the purpose of the indoor seepage test of weak media is not only to determine its permeability coefficient, but also to study the effects of physical scouring and chemical dissolution on the permeability coefficient under long-term seepage, which is time-consuming.

[0006] Regarding the seepage problem of rock blocks with well-developed bedding, the permeability coefficient is usually low, about 10 -7 ~10 -10 In actual testing, to reduce test duration, the infiltration water pressure was as high as 1 MPa, equivalent to a 100-meter head. Excessive infiltration water pressure can cause cracks to expand in well-stratified rock blocks. Crucially, for grotto temples, the infiltration water pressure typically does not exceed 10 m. Seepage damage caused by seepage in well-stratified rock blocks is typically damp / wet. Indoor seepage tests of rock media focus on observing changes in the dry / wet state of the rock surface under the actual head conditions of grotto temples, which is time-consuming.

[0025] In step 3, as described above, the height of the liquid silicone in the casting mold is lower than the height of the first box body and the height of the second box body;

[0026] In step 4, after removing the first box body and the second box body, the infiltration tank and the water collection tank obtained both have openings;

[0027] In step 5, the seepage test box is placed so that the infiltration tank, the sample, and the water collection tank are arranged in a horizontal straight line, with the opening of the infiltration tank facing upward; the fluid inlet end is the opening at the top of the infiltration tank, and the fluid outlet end is the opening provided at the bottom of the water collection tank;

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a seepage test device suitable for different seepage media in grotto temples is used for conducting horizontal seepage tests. It includes a water supply tank 1, a seepage test chamber, and a water collection device. The water supply tank 1 is mounted on a support 2.

The middle layer of the sample 4 is a seepage medium layer 401. A pair of opposing end surfaces of the sample 4 serve as the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface, respectively. The seepage medium layer 401 extends to the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface of the sample 4. The infiltration surface is connected to the infiltration trough 5, and the outfiltration surface is connected to the water collection trough 6. A fluid inlet is provided at the top of the infiltration trough 5, and a fluid outlet is provided at the bottom of the water collection trough 6. The water collection device includes a water storage container 7, which is placed on an electronic scale 8.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] like Figure 2As shown, a seepage test device suitable for different seepage media in grotto temples is used for conducting vertical seepage tests. It includes a water supply tank 1, a seepage test chamber, and a water collection device. The water supply tank 1 is mounted on a support 2. Adjusting the height of the support 2 adjusts the liquid level in the tank, thereby adjusting the infiltration water pressure. The seepage test chamber is provided with a sample 4, an infiltration trough 5, and a water collection trough 6. The sample 4 is a three-layered rock block. The middle layer of the sample 4 is a seepage medium layer 401. A pair of opposing end surfaces of the sample 4 serve as the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface, respectively. The seepage medium layer 401 extends to the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface of the sample 4. The infiltration surface is connected to the infiltration trough 5, and the outfiltration surface is connected to the water collection trough 6. A fluid inlet is provided at the top of the infiltration trough 5, and a fluid outlet is provided at the bottom of the water collection trough 6. The water collection device includes a water storage container 7, which is placed on an electronic scale 8. The fluid in the water supply tank 1 flows from the fluid inlet end into the infiltration tank 5 and permeates into the sample 4. The seepage water of the sample 4 flows into the water storage container 7 through the fluid outlet end of the water collection tank 6. The liquid level of the fluid in the water supply tank 1 is higher than the fluid inlet end, and the fluid outlet end is higher than the water storage container 7.

[0057] The seepage medium layer 401 is a layer, bedding, crack, or weak interlayer along the bedding.

[0058] When conducting a vertical seepage test, the seepage test box is placed in such a direction that the infiltration tank 5, the sample 4 and the water collection tank 6 are arranged in sequence according to the direction of gravity (ie, from top to bottom).

[0059] In this embodiment, the water supply tank 1 is connected to the infiltration tank 5 through the water inlet pipe 3, and a valve is provided on the water inlet pipe 3; the fluid outlet end of the water collection tank 6 is located above the water storage container 7, wherein the diameter of the water storage container 7 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the fluid outlet end; or the fluid outlet end is connected to the water storage container 7 through a bucket-shaped water receiving device, the diameter of the upper opening of the bucket-shaped water receiving device is greater than or equal to the diameter of the fluid outlet end, and the diameter of the lower opening of the bucket-shaped water receiving device is less than or equal to the diameter of the water storage container 7.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, the seepage test method applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples is used. The seepage test device applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples described in Example 1 is used to conduct a horizontal seepage test. The specific test process is as follows:

[0062] Step 1: Select a rock block containing seepage medium in the middle and process it into a sample 4 with a smooth surface.

[0063] Step 2: Place the sample 4, the first box body and the second box body directly on the bottom of the casting mold. The first box body, the sample 4 and the second box body are arranged horizontally in the casting mold, and the first box body is located next to the infiltration surface of the sample 4, and the second box body is located next to the seepage surface of the sample 4.

[0064] Step 3: Pour liquid silicone into the casting mold for one-step casting;

[0065] To facilitate the subsequent removal of the first and second box bodies, and after the first and second box bodies are removed, an opening is left above the corresponding areas of the first and second box bodies. The height of the liquid silicone in the casting mold is lower than the height of the first and second box bodies. Therefore, when the liquid silicone solidifies, the upper surface of the first and second box bodies are both located outside the solidified silicone.

[0066] Due to the fluidity of the liquid silicone, the liquid silicone will flow into the gap between the bottom surfaces of the two box bodies (including the first box body and the second box body) and the bottom surface of the casting mold.

[0067] Step 4: The liquid silicone is solidified to form a seepage test box. After the liquid silicone is solidified, the seepage test box is removed from the casting mold, and the first box body and the second box body are removed from the seepage test box where the first box body and the second box body are exposed, thereby forming a hollow area on both sides of the sample 4 as an infiltration trough 5 and a water collection trough 6, and both the infiltration trough 5 and the water collection trough 6 have openings; if there is solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the infiltration trough 5 and between the infiltration surface and the water collection trough 6 of the sample 4, remove the solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the infiltration trough 5 and the solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the water collection trough 6, so that the infiltration surface is connected to the infiltration trough 5, and the infiltration surface is connected to the water collection trough 6.

[0068] To facilitate removal of the first and second boxes in step 4, each of the first and second boxes comprises multiple thin plates secured together with adhesive tape. In this embodiment, the first and second boxes are each assembled from six thin plates, and the adhesive tape is transparent tape. The thin plates may be made of polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic), for example, and have a thickness of 1 to 10 mm, preferably 3 to 7 mm. Correspondingly, removal of the first and second boxes in step 4 includes the following steps: first, cutting the adhesive tape between the thin plates (e.g., using a knife to cut the tape between the thin plates), and then removing the thin plates.

[0069] Step 5: Set a fluid inlet at the top of the infiltration tank 5 and a fluid outlet at the bottom of the water collection tank 6; connect the water supply tank 1 to the fluid inlet, and connect the fluid outlet to the water storage container 7;

[0070] Place the seepage test box so that the infiltration tank 5, the sample 4, and the water collection tank 6 are arranged in sequence in a horizontal straight line. Since the height of the liquid silicone in the casting mold in step 3 is lower than the height of the box body, after removing the box body, openings are left at the infiltration tank 5 and the water collection tank 6. The opening of the infiltration tank 5 is facing upward and directly serves as the fluid inlet. An opening is set below the water collection tank 6 as the fluid outlet.

[0071] The water supply tank 1 is connected to the fluid inlet end through the water inlet pipe 3, and a water outlet valve is provided on the water inlet pipe 3; the fluid outlet end is connected to the water storage container 7 through the water outlet pipe 9.

[0072] Step 6: Conduct a seepage test, inject fluid into the water supply tank 1, and record the test phenomena and test data at the same time; the test phenomena include the location of the water outlet point, the dry and wet state of the seepage surface, the water outlet phenomenon, etc.; the test data include: the test environment temperature and humidity, the fluid temperature, the fluid density, the fluid viscosity, the fluid pH, the seepage test head, the time of fluid injection at the fluid inlet end, the time when the water outlet point on the seepage surface starts to discharge water, the color difference of the seepage surface (the color difference of the seepage surface is obtained by an external colorimeter test), the mass of the fluid in the water storage container 7, and the corresponding water storage container collection time, etc.

[0073] Using the above method, the present invention can implement indoor seepage tests on rock blocks with developed bedding, study the changes in color difference values ​​of rock blocks under different water heads, and evaluate the moisture / wetness damage of rock blocks with developed bedding; it can also implement physical and chemical water erosion tests on weak interlayers along the bedding, analyze the effects of physical scouring and chemical dissolution on the permeability coefficient of weak interlayers along the bedding under long-term seepage, and then predict the migration trend of seepage paths in grotto temples.

[0074] Furthermore, to prevent the liquid silicone from clogging the pores or cracks of the sample 4 during pouring in step 3, the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface of the sample 4 are covered with an isolation layer in step 1. Correspondingly, in step 4, after removing the first box body and the second box body, the following step is also included: removing the isolation layer on the infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface of the sample 4. In this embodiment, the isolation layer includes a baffle sheet and a wrapping layer. The infiltration surface and the outfiltration surface of the sample 4 are respectively covered with the baffle sheet. The wrapping layer is wrapped around the outside of the baffle sheet and the surface of the sample 4 not covered with the baffle sheet, wherein the baffle sheet is made of white paper and the wrapping layer is made of tape. In step 2, the first box body is placed next to the infiltration surface of the sample 4 covered with the isolation layer, and the second box body is placed next to the outfiltration surface. In step 4, the wrapping layer and the baffle sheet are removed in sequence with a cutter.

[0075] Furthermore, the liquid silicone is AB addition type liquid silicone, the hardness of the liquid silicone is 1 to 30 degrees, preferably the hardness of the liquid silicone is 10 to 20 degrees. In this embodiment, the AB addition type liquid silicone with a hardness of 10 is used to cast the seepage test box.

[0076] Example 4

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, a seepage test method applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples is used. The seepage test device applicable to different seepage media of grotto temples described in Example 2 is used to conduct a vertical seepage test. The specific test process is as follows:

[0078] Step 1: Select a rock block containing seepage medium in the middle and process it into a sample 4 with a smooth surface.

[0079] Step 2: Place the sample 4, the first box body and the second box body directly on the bottom of the casting mold. The first box body, sample 4 and the second box body are arranged in sequence in the horizontal direction in the casting mold, and the first box body is located next to the infiltration surface of the sample 4, and the second box body is located next to the seepage surface of the sample 4.

[0080] Step 3: Pour liquid silicone into the casting mold for one-step casting;

[0081] Among them, the height of the liquid silicone in the casting mold is higher than the height of the first box body and the height of the second box body; due to the fluidity of the liquid silicone, the liquid silicone will flow into the gap between the bottom surfaces of the two box bodies (including the first box body and the second box body) and the bottom surface of the casting mold.

[0082] Step 4: The liquid silicone is solidified to form a seepage test box. After the liquid silicone is solidified, the seepage test box is removed from the casting mold, and the first box body and the second box body are removed from the seepage test box, thereby forming two hollow areas on both sides of the sample 4 as the infiltration trough 5 and the water collection trough 6 respectively; if there is solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the infiltration trough 5 and between the infiltration surface and the water collection trough 6 of the sample 4, remove the solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the infiltration trough 5 and the solidified silicone between the infiltration surface and the water collection trough 6.

[0083] Since the first box body and the second box body are both wrapped in solidified silicone and cannot be directly removed, the first box body and the second box body are removed from the seepage test box, which includes the following steps: corresponding to the positions of the first box body and the second box body, cutting the seepage test box to remove the end surfaces of the first box body and the second box body away from the sample 4; then, removing the remaining parts of the first box body and the second box body from the two cut openings;

[0084] To facilitate the corresponding removal of the remaining parts of the first box body and the remaining parts of the second box body from the two cutting openings in step 4, the first box body and the second box body both include multiple thin plates. In this embodiment, the first box body and the second box body are both assembled with six thin plates, which are fixed with tape (transparent tape is used in this embodiment). The thin plate material can be polypropylene (PP) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polymethyl methacrylate (acrylic), etc. The thickness of the thin plate is 1 to 10 mm, preferably 3 to 7 mm; correspondingly, in step 4, removing the remaining parts of the first box body and the second box body includes the following steps: first cutting the tape between the thin plates (such as cutting the tape between the thin plates with a tool), and then removing the thin plates.

[0085] Step 5: Set a fluid inlet at the top of the infiltration tank 5 and a fluid outlet at the bottom of the water collection tank 6; connect the water supply tank 1 to the fluid inlet, and connect the fluid outlet to the water storage container 7;
