Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of water conservancy engineering and geotechnical engineering, in particular to a method for testing coupling characteristics of soil pore seepage and rock side wall seepage at a soil-rock interface. Background Art

[0002] Accumulation layer landslide is the most common type of landslide in the reservoir area. The soil-rock interface provides a good seepage channel for water migration under the action of rainfall and reservoir water level changes, and is the key part of the accumulation body slope sliding instability. The soil-rock interface is composed of rock and soil. Its seepage mainly involves the coupling process of rock wall seepage and soil pore seepage. The permeability of the soil itself is not much different from the permeability of the soil-rock interface. Water will seep along the soil-rock contact surface and migrate in the pores inside the soil, making the soil-rock interface show complex and changeable seepage characteristics.

[0003] Existing methods for observing internal seepage in rock and soil are mainly divided into two categories: interventional and non-interventional. Interventional methods usually include embedded pressure sensors and humidity sensors, which are directly implanted into the rock and soil to obtain data. However, this method may cause irreversible disturbances to the internal pore structure of the rock and soil, thereby affecting the accuracy and reliability of the test results. Non-intrusive measurement techniques, such as CT scanning, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray imaging, reveal the internal microscopic pore structure and water flow state of rock and soil through non-destructive means, and can obtain high-resolution internal structure images without disturbing the sample, providing detailed information on the internal moisture distribution and pore structure of the rock and soil. However, it is difficult for such methods to achieve continuous tracking and real-time observation of the seepage process, which limits the application of such methods in capturing and analyzing the dynamic evolution of seepage phenomena.

[0004] For complex and inhomogeneous materials such as geotechnical media, there is an urgent need to develop an experimental method that can be visualized and monitored in real time, which can be directly used for in-depth research on geotechnical seepage behavior, help to more comprehensively understand and describe the dynamic changes and mechanisms of seepage phenomena, and provide strong technical support for solving complex seepage problems in geotechnical engineering.
