Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of liquid nitrogen artificial freezing model test, and in particular relates to a liquid nitrogen freezing model test system and method for sand layers simulating different seepage environments under different sand layer densities. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous rise of mine construction and tunnel excavation projects, underground engineering has entered a new stage. However, there is still an important problem of groundwater seepage in the construction process of underground engineering. With the continuous construction of underground infrastructure along the river and the coast, the groundwater intrusion faced during the construction process is becoming more and more frequent. The large groundwater flow rate often leads to slow development of the freezing curtain, or even failure to close the circle, which will eventually bring serious safety hazards to the project. Therefore, how to effectively and timely deal with the impact of large groundwater flow rates on underground engineering construction has become a top priority.

[0003] At present, the experimental research on the influence of groundwater flow rate on artificial freezing method mainly focuses on the condition of low groundwater flow rate. Usually, salt water is used as the freezing medium for freezing test. Due to the small permeability coefficient of the soil layer, the maximum seepage velocity that can be achieved is usually less than 5m / d. At the same time, the seepage system used in the model test for studying the influence of seepage on freezing construction at this stage cannot provide a seepage environment with a large flow rate. At present, the seepage velocity of more than 10m / d has occurred during the construction of underground projects in many riverside and coastal areas such as Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. At this time, salt water freezing can no longer provide the cold amount required to close the freezing curtain, and liquid nitrogen as an ultra-low temperature freezing medium can provide assistance for freezing construction in a high flow rate environment.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a model test system that simulates large-scale seepage liquid nitrogen artificial freezing of the formation and propose an effective test method. Summary of the invention

[0051] The method for simulating the freezing of sand layers in different seepage environments by the test system of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0052] (1) According to the actual application occasions, the density of different sand layers is determined in combination with the following formula, and the filling is carried out through the sand layer free filling system;

[0053]

[0054] Where: ρ(h) is the density of the sand layer; γ d is the dry density of sand (kg / m 3 ); γ s is the particle density of sand (kg / m 3 );v s is the falling speed of sand particles (m / s); h is the height of the sand outlet from the sand filling box; E k is the kinetic energy of the sand; m is the mass of the sand; ρ min is the minimum density, corresponding to zero height (m); ρ max is the maximum density, corresponding to infinite height (m); κ is the kinetic energy influence coefficient, among which medium-coarse sand: 0.67, fine sand: 1.15, silt sand: 0.79; β is the compaction coefficient, among which medium-coarse sand: 0.03, fine sand: 0.02, silt sand: 0.01; Δh is the settlement (m);

[0055] (2) Through the constant temperature circulating water supply system and the head difference seepage system, the seepage of the seepage freezing model device is formed, and the seepage velocity of different sand layers is obtained by the following formula:

[0056]

[0057] Where: v aiis the water flow velocity of each sand layer (m / d); v i is the seepage velocity of the i-th sand layer (m / d); K i is the permeability coefficient of the i-th sand layer (m / d); Δh i / Δl i is the hydraulic gradient of the i-th sand layer; n i is the porosity of the i-th sand layer;

[0058] Based on the permeability coefficient of each sand layer K1, K2, ..., K i There is a difference between their relative hydraulic gradients Δh / Δl, so the total seepage velocity is:

[0059]

[0060] The water flow velocity of each sand layer is related to its permeability coefficient:

[0061] v a1 :v a2 :…:v ai =K1:K2:…:K i ;

[0062] Then, the total seepage velocity can be used to directly measure the seepage flow rate Q and the seepage cross-sectional area A, and the following can be inferred:

[0063]

[0064] (3) Through the liquid nitrogen cooling system and monitoring system, the data on the temperature field change and displacement change during the liquid nitrogen seepage freezing process are obtained, and then the coupling relationship between the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field and the seepage field under multiple groups of different sand layers and different seepage velocities is obtained.

[0065] Specifically, the method for simulating the freezing of sand layers under different seepage environments by the test system of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0066] (1) The shape and size of the box are determined by dimensional analysis. The position of the liquid nitrogen freezing tube is arranged on the central axis of the box. Several liquid nitrogen freezing tubes are arranged horizontally in the vertical seepage direction. The temperature sensor of the monitoring system is arranged according to Figure 5 The displacement sensors are arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the sand layer around each freezing tube. The temperature sensor is set at the liquid inlet of the liquid nitrogen freezing tube, and then connected to the data acquisition system through a homemade constantan wire data cable. Figure 6 shown.

[0067] (2) According to the actual application occasions, the density of different sand layers is determined in combination with the following formula, and the filling is carried out through the sand layer free filling system;

[0068]

[0069] Where: ρ(h) is the density of the sand layer; γ d is the dry density of sand (kg / m 3 ); γ s is the particle density of sand (kg / m 3 );v s is the falling speed of sand particles (m / s); h is the height of the sand outlet from the sand filling box; E k is the kinetic energy of the sand; m is the mass of the sand; ρ min is the minimum density, corresponding to zero height (m); ρ max is the maximum density, corresponding to infinite height (m); κ is the kinetic energy influence coefficient, among which medium coarse sand: 0.67, fine sand: 1.15, silt sand: 0.79; β is the compaction coefficient, among which medium coarse sand: 0.03, fine sand: 0.02, silt sand: 0.01; Δh is the settlement (m).

[0070] The sand layers are separated by geotextile fabrics, and the sand layers are filled from bottom to top. The permeability coefficient of the sand layers decreases from top to bottom. Figure 7 As shown. According to the density of the sand layer required for different tests, after the implementation is completed, use a tamping hammer to gently tamp the surface of the sand layer to control the sinking amount of the sand layer surface within 5cm, then use a scraper to flatten the sand layer on the surface of the box, connect the top steel cover to the box through nuts and apply silicone on the joints.

[0071] (3) Inject 80% of the volume of 20℃ domestic water into the constant temperature circulating water tank, open the control valve on the water inlet pipe of the upstream water supply tank and introduce constant temperature water. After the water tank is filled, open the control valve on the water outlet pipe of the upstream water supply tank to completely immerse the sand layer in the tank body in water. At the same time, raise the downstream side of the tank body by 3cm (tilt the tank body about 3 / 100) to facilitate the discharge of air from a high place. Perform saturated exhaust and drainage work through the exhaust hole on the top of the tank body. This process continues until no bubbles are discharged. The process lasts for about 20-30 minutes. After the initial exhaust is completed, use a vacuum pump to extract 30kPa negative pressure from the exhaust hole to further absorb the air inside the tank body until the test sand layer inside the tank body is completely saturated with water.

[0072] (4) Through the constant temperature circulating water supply system and the head difference seepage system, the seepage of the seepage freezing model device is formed, and the seepage velocity of different sand layers is obtained by the following formula:

[0073]

[0074] Where: v ai is the water flow velocity of each sand layer (m / d); v i is the seepage velocity of the i-th sand layer (m / d); Ki is the permeability coefficient of the i-th sand layer (m / d); Δh i / Δl i is the hydraulic gradient of the i-th sand layer; n i is the porosity of the i-th sand layer;

[0075] Based on the permeability coefficient of each sand layer K1, K2, ..., K i There is a difference between their relative hydraulic gradients Δh / Δl, so the total seepage velocity is:

[0076]

[0077] The water flow velocity of each sand layer and its permeability coefficient K1, K2, ..., K i Related:

[0078] v a1 :v a2 :…:v ai =K1:K2:…:K i ;

[0079] Then, the total seepage velocity can be used to directly measure the seepage flow rate Q and the seepage cross-sectional area A, and the following can be inferred:

[0080]

[0081] The required height difference between the water tanks is calculated according to the size of the seepage velocity required for the test, and the height difference between the upstream water supply tank and the downstream water supply tank is controlled by the CNC panel to provide the seepage velocity for the model box.

[0082] (5) The data acquisition system obtains data on the temperature field changes and displacement changes during the liquid nitrogen seepage freezing process through temperature sensing needles, temperature sensors and displacement sensors. The data is imported into professional drawing software to obtain a cloud map of the liquid nitrogen temperature field and frost heave changes over time under the action of seepage. Then, the change law of the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field and the frost heave process of the sand layer during the construction process are analyzed, and the relationship between the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field, seepage field and displacement field is obtained.

[0083] In addition, the density of different sand layers can be kept constant, and the seepage velocity of each sand layer can be changed to study the coupling relationship between the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field and the seepage field under different seepage velocities. That is, the coupling relationship between the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field and the seepage field under different seepage velocities can be obtained by one experiment. Similarly, multiple groups of experiments can be carried out to obtain the coupling relationship between the liquid nitrogen freezing temperature field and the seepage field under different seepage velocities or different densities of the same sand mold.
