Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pipe jacking engineering, and in particular to a method for evaluating the filtration and film-forming characteristics of thixotropic mud for pipe jacking in a confined aquifer. Background Art

[0002] As a trenchless pipeline laying technology for underground projects similar to the shield method, pipe jacking construction has been widely used in urban subway entrances and exits, integrated pipe corridors, underground commercial streets and other projects in recent years because of its advantages such as no excavation of the road surface, small construction disturbance, and protection of urban landscape. However, during the pipe jacking construction process, the soil above the pipe jacking machine moves or compresses and deforms along the jacking direction due to excessive friction resistance between the pipe and the soil, which in turn causes the "back-soil effect" problem, which has become a major problem in pipe jacking construction. How to effectively reduce the friction resistance during pipe jacking construction is an important basic research topic in pipe jacking engineering.

[0003] In order to reduce the friction resistance between the pipeline and the soil, it is usually necessary to inject thixotropic mud into the outer wall of the pipeline. Thixotropic mud is a drag-reducing material with a special mineral structure and thixotropic properties. During the pipe jacking construction process, the thixotropic mud fills the 2-5 cm annular space between the pipeline and the soil. On the one hand, it can convert the dry friction between the jacking pipeline and the soil into liquid friction, thereby reducing the friction resistance of the jacking; on the other hand, it can fill the gap between the pipeline and the soil, thereby reducing the deformation of the soil and supporting the formation. When the thixotropic mud is stationary, the mud is in a gelled state. Once it is disturbed by the outside world, it becomes a fluid state. After the external factors stop acting, the aqueous solution becomes a gelled state again. This property is the unique thixotropy of the thixotropic mud. This property enables it to play a better drag reduction role, and can better control the formation pressure and pipeline stability during the pipe jacking process. Problems, greatly improve the efficiency of pipe jacking construction, and reduce the probability of accidents. Since pipe jacking construction is a new type of trenchless pipeline laying technology for underground projects, there are still many deficiencies in the evaluation of the thixotropic mud filtration and film-forming properties of the pipe wall. Currently, the thixotropic mud filtration and film-forming effect is mostly studied by pressurizing the filter loss meter to form a mud cake. The filtration time is relatively long and the seepage filtration process cannot be studied in combination with the soil properties.

[0004] Therefore, in order to determine the filtration effect of thixotropic mud for pipe jacking and explore its static filtration performance under different water content conditions in the soil, a method for evaluating the filtration and film-forming characteristics of thixotropic mud for pipe jacking in confined aquifers is needed to accurately measure the filtration and film-forming characteristics of thixotropic mud for pipe jacking in confined aquifers, which will provide important technical support for the subsequent research and construction of thixotropic mud filtration and film-forming effects of pipe jacking.
