Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of soil strength prediction, and specifically relates to a method for predicting the strength of coarse-grained soil taking into account seepage erosion and the fine-grained content of mudstone. Background Art
[0002] Coarse-grained soil is often used as filler for highway embankments due to its engineering properties, including good permeability, high compressive strength, and high compaction density. However, rainwater penetration and erosion can easily cause coarse-grained soil fillers to undergo rheological changes, gradually weakening the embankment's water stability, strength, and stability, leading to local or global instability and posing a threat to the embankment's overall service life and driving safety. The reason for this is that coarse-grained soil has weak cohesion and impermeability, and fine particles are easily lost under seepage, forming progressive seepage deformation. In the complex process of water-soil interaction, the loss of fine particles causes changes in the soil's microstructure and mechanical properties, reducing its shear strength and stability. Therefore, studying the microscopic characteristics and shear properties of coarse-grained soil after seepage is crucial to ensuring the normal service life of mountain highways.
[0003] Regarding the impact of rainfall on the mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil, the current mainstream research only considers the wetting effect (change in water content) caused by rainwater infiltration. Specifically, the increase in water content caused by rainwater infiltration may cause soil volume expansion, leading to deformation and loosening; secondly, the increase in water content may weaken its cohesion and internal friction, reducing its shear strength and stability. However, rainwater infiltration not only brings wetting to coarse-grained soil, but is also accompanied by particle erosion. Coarse-grained soil has a large porosity. Under the infiltration and erosion of rainwater, the fine-grained components in the coarse-grained soil migrate downward and deposit, the upper skeleton is hollowed out, causing the microstructure of the internal filling of the embankment to change, and its mechanical properties will also decrease. Therefore, the relevant technology only considers the wetting effect caused by rainwater infiltration, which will result in low soil strength prediction accuracy and cannot be used well to guide actual construction. Further research on the strength degradation evolution of coarse-grained soil under infiltration erosion is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 27 This embodiment provides a method for predicting the strength of coarse-grained soil taking into account seepage erosion and the fine-grained content of mudstone, comprising the following steps:
[0059] A method for predicting the strength of coarse-grained soil considering seepage erosion and fine-grained mudstone content includes the following steps:

[0064] The coarse-grained soil sample is prepared by using cohesionless breccia, sand particles and mudstone fine particles.
[0065] In step S1, the penetration erosion process specifically includes the following steps:
[0066] The coarse-grained soil sample is placed in a rubber membrane with openings at both ends, and the openings at both ends of the rubber membrane are covered with a permeable stone with a diameter of 50 mm, and the coarse-grained soil sample is tightly fitted with the permeable stone;

[0078]
[0079] In the formula, C, D, k are all fitting parameters.
[0080] The intensity prediction model K MC (η, p0) is expressed as:
[0081]
[0082] Example 1
[0083] In this embodiment, the coarse-grained soil is taken from the slag soil-rock mixture produced by the excavation of a certain cutting section of the Hangzhou Second Ring Road, and is dried, crushed and screened.
[0084] In this embodiment, fine particles with a particle size of <0.075 mm, sand particles with a particle size of 0.075-0.5 mm and 0.5-2.0 mm, and angular gravels with a particle size of 2.0-5.0 mm and 5.0-10.0 mm were selected. A total of five coarse-grained soils with different fine particle mass proportions η (η=3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15%) were continuously graded to form coarse-grained soil samples. Compaction tests were performed on each coarse-grained soil sample to obtain the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density. The physical parameters of each sample are shown in Table 1, and the gradation curve is shown in Table 1. Figure 1 shown.
[0085] Table 1 Physical parameters of coarse-grained soil samples
[0086]
[0087] The shape of the coarse-grained soil sample is cylindrical, with a diameter of d = 50 mm, a height of h = 100 mm, and an aspect ratio of H / D = 2. The ratio of the coarse-grained soil sample diameter to the maximum particle size is 5, which can basically eliminate the influence of size effect.
[0088] Coarse-grained soil samples were mixed at the optimal moisture content and placed in a sealed box for 24 hours. Samples were prepared using the layered vibration method, divided into five layers. Each layer was compacted to roughen the top surface before compacting the next layer, and the final layer was leveled. The relative density of the coarse-grained soil samples was controlled by controlling the mass and height of each layer, achieving a compaction degree of approximately 95%, meeting the requirements of the "Highway Subgrade Design Code" (JTGD30-2015).
[0089] Please refer to Figure 2A penetration erosion treatment device is used to conduct a penetration erosion experiment on each coarse-grained soil sample. The penetration erosion device includes a water tank 10, a variable frequency water pump 20 and a funnel 30. The water tank 10, the variable frequency water pump 20 and the funnel 30 are connected in sequence through a pipeline, wherein the pipeline is connected to the small end of the funnel 30, and the coarse-grained soil sample abuts the large end of the funnel 30. The variable frequency water pump 20 is used to pump the water in the water tank 10 into the funnel 30 to flush the coarse-grained soil sample.
[0090] The specific operation of the penetration erosion test is as follows: the coarse-grained soil sample is placed in a rubber membrane. The upper and lower ends of the coarse-grained soil sample are covered with permeable stones with a diameter of 50mm. The permeable stones are tightly fitted to the coarse-grained soil sample. The coarse-grained soil sample covered with the rubber membrane is placed in an inverted metal funnel. The top of the metal funnel is connected to the water pipe and the connection is tightly tied with a binding tape. Turn on the water source and start the variable frequency water pump (with an adjustable water pressure range of 0-450kPa). Water is delivered to the metal funnel to flush the sample. Starting from the beginning of water seepage at the bottom, the treatment is carried out for 10 minutes. The treated sample is left to stand and weighed in real time to ensure that the water content of the sample remains unchanged before and after flushing.
[0091] The seepage erosion force p0 and rainfall intensity P satisfy the following relationship:
[0092] p0=P·ρ w g / 1000;
[0093] Where, ρ w is the water density, take 1000kg / m 3 ; g is the acceleration due to gravity, which is 9.81m / s 2 .
[0094] Under heavy rain and torrential rain, the rainfall intensity is 4.2~8.7mm / h every 12 hours. According to the above formula, the corresponding seepage erosion force is 40.8~85.7kPa. Therefore, four working conditions of seepage erosion force p0=40kPa, 50kPa, 60kPa and 70kPa are proposed to fully simulate the seepage erosion process under heavy rain and torrential rain.
[0095] The shear strength of coarse-grained soil specimens at realistic stress levels was measured using a GDS standard stress path triaxial apparatus. The selectable shear rate range was 0.002–4.5 mm / min, the confining pressure range was 0–2.0 MPa, and the pressure resolution was 0.5 kPa. The test loading conditions are shown in Table 2. The shear rate was 0.24 mm / min, and the test was terminated when the axial strain reached 20%.
[0096] Table 2 Loading conditions of static triaxial test of coarse-grained soil samples
[0097]
[0098]
[0099] The calculation process of the loading confining pressure σ3 is:
[0100] σ3=K0(σ0+γh);
[0101] Where K0 is the lateral earth pressure coefficient, calculated as K0 = ν / (1-ν), ν is the Poisson's ratio, which is taken as 0.45; σ0 is the road surface cover weight, which is taken as 24.5kN / m 3 ;γ is the bulk density of coarse-grained soil, taken as 25kN / m 3 ; h is the depth from the top of the roadbed.
[0102] The stress-strain curves of coarse-grained soil samples under different p0 and σ3 (η=3%) are as follows: Figure 3-7 As shown, Figure 3 It represents the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil sample under different σ3 when p0=0kPa; Figure 4 It represents the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil sample under different σ3 when p0 = 40 kPa; Figure 5 It represents the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil sample under different σ3 when p0 = 50 kPa; Figure 6 It represents the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil sample under different σ3 when p0=60kPa; Figure 7 It represents the stress-strain curve of coarse-grained soil sample under different σ3 when p0=70kPa.
[0103] from Figure 3-7 It can be seen that:
[0104] (1) Under a confining pressure of 20-50 kPa, both coarse-grained soil samples treated with and without erosion showed obvious strain "softening phenomenon";
[0105] (2) The failure point of the specimen (i.e., the shear peak strength (σ1-σ3) in the figure) max The corresponding axial strain) occurs at ε 1critical =2.2%-5.3%, and the smaller σ3 is, the greater ε 1critical The smaller;
[0106] Constructing shear peak strength (σ1-σ3) max -p0 relationship curve, such as Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the mechanical properties of coarse-grained soil have obvious seepage erosion weakening effect. Under the same σ3, the (σ1-σ3) of the sample is max The small confining pressure change used in this test has no significant effect on the strength weakening difference caused by penetration erosion. For example, when p0 = 70 kPa, σ3 = 30 kPa corresponds to (σ1-σ3) maxThe drop is 133.2kPa, and σ3 = 50kPa corresponds to (σ1-σ3) max The decrease was 146.4 kPa, with no significant difference. Under the five confining pressures σ3, the decrease ranged from 133.1 kPa to 231.1 kPa.
[0107] Figures 9-13 The stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil samples treated with different p0 at different σ3 are plotted, where Figure 9 It represents the stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil specimens under different σ3 when p0 = 0 kPa; Figure 10 It represents the stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil specimens under different σ3 when p0 = 40 kPa; Figure 11 It represents the stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil specimens under different σ3 when p0 = 50 kPa; Figure 12 It represents the stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil specimens under different σ3 when p0 = 60 kPa; Figure 13 It represents the stress Mohr circle and strength envelope of coarse-grained soil samples under different σ3 when p0=70kPa. Figures 9-13 It can be seen that within the small confining pressure range of 20 to 50 kPa, the coarse-grained soil treated with seepage erosion and the untreated soil follows the linear Mohr-Coulomb strength failure criterion, and the envelope fitting determination coefficient R 2 All are greater than 0.99.
[0108] Figure 14 The internal friction angle of coarse-grained soil samples (η=3%) under different penetration erosion forces p0 is shown. The internal friction angle of coarse-grained soil samples under seepage erosion is There is no significant change. Its value is basically stable within the range of 55.7° to 61.23° before and after treatment, while the cohesion c shows a significant decrease. Compared with the untreated sample, the cohesion c value of the sample treated with 40kPa penetration erosion force p0 dropped from 40.9kPa to 16.8kPa, a decrease of 58.9%; and when p0 was increased to 70kPa, the c value dropped to 5.4kPa, a decrease of 86.8%. The reason is that under the penetration erosion treatment operation set in this experiment, the overall skeleton of the coarse-grained soil sample did not change significantly, and the overall bite and interlocking effect between the skeletons was not destroyed. Therefore, the internal friction angle of the coarse-grained soil sample before and after the scouring treatment was However, under the osmotic erosion, the fine particles on the upper part of the sample are lost, and the cementation of the fine particles is significantly weakened under the action of water, and the cohesion c between the particles is significantly reduced.
[0109] Figure 15-16 Shows the peak shear strength (σ1-σ3) of coarse-grained soil with different p0 and different η max(Take σ3=30kPa as an example), internal friction angle And the influence of cohesion c. Among them, Figure 15 The graph represents the peak shear strength of coarse-grained soil samples at different fine particle contents η; Figure 16 A diagram showing the degree of peak strength attenuation of coarse-grained soil samples with different fine particle contents η.
[0110] like Figure 15 As shown in the figure, when the penetration erosion force p0 is constant, there is a critical threshold value η of fine particle content. critical , making it lower than η critical When the shear peak strength of the coarse-grained soil sample is (σ1-σ3) max As the proportion of fine particles increases, it increases; and above the critical threshold η critical When the shear peak strength of the coarse-grained soil sample is (σ1-σ3) max It decreases with the increase of fine particle mass proportion.
[0111] Taking p0 = 60 kPa as an example, when the mass proportion of fine particles η increases from 15% to 45%, (σ1-σ3) max From 477.3kPa to 589.1kPa; when the mass proportion of fine particles η increases to 75%, (σ1-σ3) max It drops to 381.6kPa. This shows that the strength of coarse-grained soil is closely related to the fine-grained mass ratio η. When the fine-grained mass ratio η is lower than the critical threshold η critical , appropriately increasing the fine particle mass ratio η is helpful to improve the contact and interaction between breccias, increase the density and strength of coarse-grained soil, make the soil skeleton more stable, and strengthen its ability to resist seepage erosion; on the contrary, when the fine particle mass ratio η is higher than the critical threshold η critical When the soil is filled with fine particles, the contact and support between the soil skeletons are weakened, and its ability to resist seepage erosion is reduced.
[0112] like Figure 16 As shown in the figure, when the penetration erosion force p0 = 70 kPa, the peak stress intensity (σ1-σ3) of the coarse-grained soil samples with fine particle mass proportion η of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12% and 15% is max They decayed to 55.2%, 64.7%, 71.9%, 61.3% and 50.6% of those before the infiltration erosion treatment, respectively, indicating that the ability of coarse-grained soil samples to resist infiltration erosion first increased and then decreased with the increase of the fine particle mass proportion η.
[0113] Figure 17 The effects of seepage erosion on the cohesion c of coarse-grained soils with different fine particle contents η are shown; Figure 18 The effect of seepage erosion on the internal friction angle of coarse-grained soil with different fine particle contents η is shown. impact.
[0114] Depend on Figure 17 It can be seen that before the penetration erosion treatment, the cohesion c of the coarse-grained soil sample continued to increase as the fine particle mass ratio η increased. Specifically, when the fine particle mass ratio η increased from 3% to 15%, the cohesion c increased from 40.9kPa to 58.1kPa. The reason is that after the mudstone fine particles disintegrated, the charge interaction and water film effect between the fine particles enhanced the cohesion of the material, making the coarse-grained soil have higher viscosity and plasticity. As the penetration erosion progressed, the sample cohesion c decreased linearly with the penetration erosion force p0, and its fitting determination coefficient R 2 All exceeded 0.98. The corresponding slopes (average attenuation rates) of the cohesion attenuation curves for coarse-grained soil samples with fine particle mass proportions η of 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15% were 0.521, 0.495, 0.448, 0.516, and 0.607, respectively. The attenuation of cohesion c with the penetration erosion force p0 also verified the critical threshold η. critical The existence of η characterizes the variation in the ability of coarse-grained soil to resist seepage erosion with different fine particle mass proportions η.
[0115] Depend on Figure 18 It can be seen that before the infiltration erosion treatment, as the fine particle mass ratio η increases, the initial internal friction angle of the coarse-grained soil sample When the mass ratio of fine particles increases from 3% to 15%, the initial internal friction angle From 55.7° to 29.1°. Fine particles have smaller particle size and higher plasticity. Increasing the mass proportion of fine particles η will reduce the friction between particles. Therefore, the internal friction angle As the penetration erosion progresses, the internal friction angle of the coarse-grained soil samples with fine particle mass proportions η of 3%, 6%, and 9% are There is no significant change, while the internal friction angle of the coarse-grained soil samples with fine particle mass ratio η of 12% and 15% As the penetration erosion force p0 increases, it continues to decrease. This is because, as mentioned above, below the critical threshold η critical , increasing the fine particle content helps to improve the stability of the coarse-grained soil skeleton and enhance its ability to resist penetration erosion; on the contrary, when it is higher than η critical When the soil is filled with fine particles, the filling effect weakens the stability of the coarse-grained soil skeleton and reduces its ability to resist seepage erosion.
[0116] Based on the above analysis, it can be seen that both the coarse-grained soil samples with and without seepage erosion treatment follow the linear Mohr-Coulomb strength failure criterion. Therefore, based on the Mohr-Coulomb strength criterion, a strength prediction model K for siliceous mudstone coarse-grained soil considering the seepage erosion effect is constructed. MC (η, p0).
[0117] See also Figure 19 , Figure 19 Represents the Mohr-Coulomb strength failure condition diagram, Figure 19 The envelope of the Mohr stress circle in is simplified to a straight line and expressed by the Coulomb equation as follows:
[0118]
[0119] Where, τ f is the shear stress of coarse-grained soil; σ represents the principal stress of coarse-grained soil; represents the internal friction angle of coarse-grained soil; c represents the cohesion of coarse-grained soil;
[0120] in:
[0121]
[0122] Because of c. It is closely related to η and p0, so it can be regarded as a function of η and p0 c(η, p0), Combining the above formula, we can get the strength prediction model K MC The expression of (η, p0) is expressed as:
[0123]
[0124] The cohesion c decreases linearly with p0, and the initial cohesion c0 and the cohesion attenuation rate k c are all related to η, then c(η, p0) can be expressed as:
[0125] c(η,p0)=c0(η)-k c (η)p0;
[0126] Figure 20 Presents c0 and k c The changing law with different η, such as Figure 20 As shown, c0 can be regarded as a linear function increasing with η, k c It can be regarded as a quadratic function of η, and can be fitted from the curve:
[0127] c(n,p0)=36.2+2.092n-[0.0031985(n-9.15) 2 +0.46381]p0;
[0128] According to k c (η) fitting relationship, determine the critical threshold η critical It is 9.15%.
[0129] When it is lower than η critical As the penetration erosion progresses, the internal friction angle No significant change; when higher than ηcritical When the penetration erosion force p0 decreases linearly, and as it increases, the internal friction angle attenuation rate can be seen from the limited data. If there is no significant change, It can be expressed as:
[0130]
[0131] Figure 21 The initial internal friction angle and internal friction angle attenuation rate With the change of different fine particle mass proportion η, it is obvious that It can be regarded as a linear function that decreases with η. To ensure the continuity of the function, the transition function Sigmoid is used for smooth fitting. The fitting results are shown below:
[0132]
[0133] c(η, p0), Substitute the fitting results into K MC The expression of (η, p0) completes the strength prediction model K MC The construction of (η, p0), the model image is as follows Figure 22-Figure 25 As shown. Among them, Figure 22 Represents the prediction model image under σ3 = 20kPa; Figure 23 It represents the prediction model image under σ3 = 30kPa; Figure 24 Represents the prediction model image under σ3 = 40kPa; Figure 25 The figure shows the prediction model image at σ3 = 50 kPa.
[0134] For the strength prediction of any coarse-grained soil, the fine particle mass ratio η and the seepage erosion force p0 are input, and the strength prediction value of the coarse-grained soil is output.
[0135] To test the prediction model K MC The accuracy of (η, p0) is compared with the relative errors between the predicted and measured peak intensity values under different combinations of p0, η (σ3 = 50 kPa) and different combinations of p0, σ3 (η = 3%). Figure 26-Figure 27 ,in Figure 25 It shows the relative error heat map between the predicted value and the measured value under σ3 = 50 kPa; Figure 26 It shows the relative error heat map between the predicted value and the measured value under η=3%. Figures 26-27 It can be seen that except for the relative error between the predicted value and the measured value of the peak intensity corresponding to the working condition of η=3% and p0=60kPa, which is 16.3%~35.6% (the relative error between the predicted value and the measured value is 16.3%~35.6% Figure 18Abnormal data points in the working condition), excluding the abnormal data of this working condition, the relative error between the predicted value and the measured value for the remaining working conditions is 1.1% to 14.9%. According to relevant regulations, the error between the soil strength prediction model and the true value is generally required to be less than 15%. Therefore, the siliceous mudstone coarse-grained soil strength prediction model K considering the seepage erosion effect proposed in this application is MC (η, p0) has high accuracy and can meet the strength prediction requirements of coarse-grained soil.
