Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of geotechnical testing, and in particular to a device for measuring the porosity of sand in the process of seepage. Background Art

[0002] The existing methods for measuring the porosity of sand are mainly volumetric drainage method, mercury intrusion method, nuclear magnetic resonance method and gas inhalation method. The volumetric drainage method first uses a calibrated container to measure the volume Vtotal of the dry sample, then puts the sand sample into a liquid container to completely immerse it to calculate the drainage volume Vrow, and calculates the porosity based on Vrow and Vtotal. Its disadvantage is that it may be difficult to obtain an accurate drainage volume for some very small or loose samples. The gas inhalation method first dries the sand sample to constant weight, then exposes the sample to a gas environment under a specific pressure, measures the volume of the adsorbed gas, and calculates the porosity based on the amount of gas adsorbed and the known relationship between gas adsorption and pore space. Its disadvantage is that the measurement process is complicated and the equipment cost is high. The mercury intrusion method dries the sand sample and weighs the mass, puts the sample into the mercury intrusion device, gradually increases the pressure, records the volume of mercury under different pressures, calculates the pore volume based on the volume change of the pressed mercury, and thus obtains the porosity. Its disadvantage is that the sample may be damaged and cannot be used for repeated experiments. Mercury does not wet the solid surface and cannot enter unconnected pores, so it can only effectively measure the volume of connected pores. The nuclear magnetic resonance method puts the sample into the nuclear magnetic resonance instrument, measures the reaction of water molecules in the magnetic field, and infers the pore volume based on the signal strength of water, and thus calculates the porosity. Its disadvantage is that the equipment is expensive and the operation is complicated.

[0003] The reversed grain order accumulation is common in the flow area and accumulation area of ​​high-speed long-distance landslides. Due to the impact of collision rolling, vibration screening and the dissipation pressure of large-size particles, the particle size of the accumulation body presents a structure of large top and small bottom in the vertical direction. We can divide the accumulation body into three phase zones in the vertical direction: the top hard shell layer, the middle main body layer, and the bottom base layer. This special structure makes its upper porosity relatively large and its water permeability relatively strong. Under the action of water flow, the penetration of water may produce a strong drag force on fine particles, thereby causing the fine particles to move in the pores formed by coarse sand particles. Since the three phase zones have large differences in particle grading (composition), that is, the hard shell layer is easy to lose fine particles due to its large pore channels, and the main layer has both fine particles from the hard shell layer and its own fine particles will migrate downward, and there will be accumulation of fine particles at the bottom, so it is necessary to analyze the changes in soil porosity in three layers.
