Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rock deterioration simulation and monitoring, and particularly relates to a device and method for monitoring rock aging deterioration under stress-temperature-seepage coupling. Background Technique

[0002] As a key material in multiple fields such as underground engineering, oil exploitation, and geothermal development, the long-term stability of rock is affected by multiple environmental factors. Especially under conditions such as groundwater level change, temperature fluctuation, and stress loading, rock often bears the combined action of three-dimensional stress, temperature, seepage, etc. These factors interact with each other and jointly affect the mechanical properties and stability of rock. The failure of rock is usually caused by the combined action of multiple factors. For example, thermal expansion caused by temperature change, crack propagation caused by stress change, pore change caused by seepage pressure, etc. These factors are intertwined, resulting in the expansion of microcracks inside the rock and the decline of mechanical properties.

[0003] The research on the internal deterioration mechanism of rock under the coupling action of stress-seepage-temperature is one of the current research hotspots in the field of rock mechanics. Temperature change can change the internal stress distribution of rock through thermal expansion, thereby affecting the mechanical properties of rock. At the same time, the change of seepage water pressure can apply additional stress to the rock and change the crack propagation behavior of the rock. And the redistribution of internal stress in the rock will further affect the change of the seepage path, thus forming a complex three-dimensional stress-seepage-temperature coupling process. This multi-field coupling effect will lead to the deterioration of rock being highly nonlinear and complex, making it particularly difficult to predict the rock deterioration process.

[0004] Most traditional rock damage detection methods focus on the action of a single factor. For example, it is only carried out on rock under a certain stress or temperature state, and the aging deterioration process of rock cannot be obtained. Existing rock damage detection methods, such as crack propagation experiments based on stress-temperature field conditions, although they can reveal the rock damage evolution under a certain specific field condition, cannot comprehensively obtain the aging deterioration effect of rock under the coupling action of multiple environmental factors. Another example is based on strain gauge or stress sensor technology, which usually can only monitor the mechanical response on the surface of the rock and is difficult to accurately capture the microscopic pore evolution and aging deterioration process inside the rock.

[0005] As a high-precision non-destructive testing method, ultrasonic technology can detect the density, pore changes, etc. inside materials by measuring parameters such as the acoustic wave propagation velocity and attenuation coefficient. However, the current application of ultrasonic waves in a multi-field coupling environment is still in the initial exploration stage, and there is still a lack of monitoring technology for rock aging deterioration that can simultaneously consider the coupling effects of stress, temperature, and seepage. Most traditional ultrasonic monitoring methods focus on the detection of rock damage under the action of a single stress or temperature field, and there is no systematic solution for the monitoring of rock deterioration under multi-field coupling. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a monitoring device and method for rock aging deterioration under stress-temperature-seepage coupling to accurately monitor the aging deterioration process of rocks under multi-field coupling in real time, laying a foundation for studying the complex deterioration mechanism of rocks under multi-field coupling conditions.

[0006] The invention patent with the application publication number CN108426782A discloses an ultrasonic monitoring device for rock damage evolution under multi-field coupling. The device includes a stress loading unit, a water-vapor generating unit, and a water-vapor circulation unit; the stress loading unit includes an upper pressure head, a lower pressure head, and an oil cylinder. Ultrasonic transmitting probes and ultrasonic receiving probes are respectively arranged on the upper and lower pressure heads. Hydraulic oil enters the oil cylinder to drive the upper and lower pressure heads to apply axial pressure to the rock specimen; the water-vapor generating unit includes a solution bottle filled with chemical solution and a heater at the bottom; the water-vapor circulation unit includes an intake pipeline and a return pipeline. One end of the intake pipeline is connected to the solution bottle and the other end is connected to the closed cover, and one end of the return pipeline is connected to the solution bottle and the other end is connected to the closed cover; the water-vapor generating unit generates water-vapor with a set humidity and temperature, and the influence of different humidity and temperature changes on the rock specimen is realized through the water-vapor circulation unit, and different chemical solutions can be replaced. The monitoring method includes the following steps: during the uniaxial compression process, the propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen is measured at regular intervals, and the damage degree of the rock is defined by the wave velocity. This technical solution has the following defects: (1) Only axial stress is applied to the rock specimen, lacking confining pressure, which does not conform to the triaxial stress state of underground rocks; (2) There is no seepage field, that is, the influence of seepage pressure on rock damage deterioration is not considered. However, in reality, seepage is one of the important factors affecting the long-term stability of rocks. Seepage pressure will cause pore changes in rocks and change the crack propagation behavior of rocks. If the role of the seepage field is not considered, it does not conform to the real situation and the monitoring results are inaccurate; (3) During the monitoring process, only the propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen is used to evaluate the damage degree of the rock, which is only a macroscopic monitoring. The mesoscopic changes such as pores and internal structures of the rock are not considered, and the deterioration degree cannot be directly obtained, and the monitoring results are inaccurate.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method for monitoring the rock aging deterioration under stress-temperature-seepage coupling. Using the monitoring device for rock aging deterioration under stress-temperature-seepage coupling described in any of the above items, it includes the following steps in sequence: Step 1: Assemble each component of the monitoring device and a rock specimen together according to the designed connection relationship, and check the monitoring device to ensure that the monitoring device has good sealing performance. Step 2: Obtain the correction coefficient. The specific operation is as follows: First, in the state of not applying triaxial stress, emit ultrasonic waves to the rock specimen through the computer control system, and collect the time from the ultrasonic wave emitting probe emitting ultrasonic waves to the ultrasonic wave receiving probe receiving ultrasonic waves, and then calculate the propagation wave speed of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen. Then, turn on the triaxial stress loading component to apply triaxial stress to the rock specimen. After the triaxial stress is stable, emit ultrasonic waves to the rock specimen through the computer control system, and collect the time from the ultrasonic wave emitting probe emitting ultrasonic waves to the ultrasonic wave receiving probe receiving ultrasonic waves, and then calculate the propagation wave speed of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen. Finally, take the ratio of the propagation wave speed of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen under the state of applying triaxial stress to the propagation wave speed of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen under the state of not applying triaxial stress as the correction coefficient.

The specific operation is as follows: First, turn on the seepage control component to apply seepage pressure to the rock specimen. After the seepage pressure is stable, simultaneously turn on the triaxial stress loading component and the temperature control component to apply triaxial stress and heat to the rock specimen respectively. After the triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage pressure all reach the set values and remain stable, the coupling is completed; Step 6: Under the condition of keeping the triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage pressure unchanged, measure the propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen every certain time interval. At the same time, calculate the porosity and density of the rock specimen at this time through the modified time-average formula and volume-weighted formula respectively, and take the ratio of the porosity at this time to the original porosity as the parameter of the deterioration degree of the rock specimen at this time, and then obtain the variation of the porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen with time at a series of different times, and finally obtain the variation relationship of the porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen with time under triaxial stress-temperature-seepage coupling.

[0018] In Step 1 and Step 3, the rock specimen is obtained by coring from the underground rock core, with its surface intact, undamaged, and internal structure complete; the diameter of the rock specimen is 50 mm and the height is 100 mm.

[0019] In Step 2, triaxial stress is applied to the rock specimen according to the triaxial stress situation at the site where the rock specimen is cored; the correction coefficient formula is , where: ——Correction coefficient, dimensionless; ——The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen in the state without applying triaxial stress, m / s; ——The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen in the state of applying triaxial stress, m / s.

[0020] The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen is equal to the ratio of the height of the rock specimen to the propagation time.

[0021] In Step 4, the time-averaging formula is , where: —— The original porosity of the rock sample, dimensionless; —— The original propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock sample, m / s; —— The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the skeletal minerals, m / s; —— The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the pore fluid, m / s.

[0022] The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock sample is equal to the ratio of the height of the rock sample to the propagation time.

[0023] The volume-weighting formula is , where: —— The original density of the rock sample, g / cm 3 ; —— The density of the skeletal minerals, g / cm 3 ; —— The density of the pore fluid, g / cm 3 ; —— The original porosity of the rock sample, dimensionless.

[0024] In Step 6, the modified time-averaging formula is , where: —— The porosity of the rock sample at different times, dimensionless; —— The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock sample at different times, m / s; —— The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the skeletal minerals, m / s; —— The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the pore fluid, m / s; —— The correction coefficient, dimensionless.

[0025] The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock sample is equal to the ratio of the height of the rock sample to the propagation time.

[0026] The modified volume-weighting formula is , where: —— The density of the rock sample at different times, g / cm 3 ; —— Density of the skeletal mineral, g / cm 3 ; —— Density of the pore fluid, g / cm 3 ; —— Porosity of the rock specimen at different times, dimensionless; —— Correction factor, dimensionless.

[0027] The deterioration degree of the rock specimen is , where: —— Deterioration degree of the rock specimen, dimensionless; —— Porosity of the rock specimen at different times, dimensionless; —— Original porosity of the rock specimen, dimensionless.

[0028] The series of changes of the porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen with time at different times, the porosity is expressed as , the density is expressed as , and the deterioration degree is expressed as , .

[0029] In the present invention, the heater, heating pipe, thermometer, fuel tank, oil pump, oil pipe, oil pressure gauge, water tank, water pipe, pressure control valve, computer control system, etc. used are all traditional equipment or instruments, and there are no special requirements for the model and structure. The computer control system includes a computer, a control panel, a switch, an interface, etc., and has functions such as data processing and storage.

[0030] The rock specimen can be placed into the sealed box through the upper punch hole or the lower punch hole. For example, in actual operation, the lower punch can be inserted into the sealed box first, and a lower punch base is set at the bottom of the lower punch. Then, the rock specimen is inserted into the sealed box through the upper punch hole, and the rock specimen is vertically dropped onto the top surface of the lower punch. Then, the upper punch is inserted into the sealed box so that the rock specimen is located between the upper punch and the lower punch.

[0031] After the components of the monitoring device and the rock specimen are assembled together, a good sealing state needs to be achieved, and sealing rings, gaskets or other sealing materials need to be used for sealing treatment at the connection parts or the parts with gaps of each component.

[0032] The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the skeletal mineral and the pore fluid is a fixed value, and the densities of the skeletal mineral and the pore fluid are also fixed values, and these fixed values can be determined according to the rock type.

[0033] The stress-temperature-seepage coupling rock aging deterioration monitoring device and method of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: It can conduct comprehensive monitoring under multi-field coupling, taking into account the comprehensive effects of various factors such as triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage, comprehensively reflecting the deterioration process of rocks in complex environments, and providing more comprehensive data support than traditional single-field monitoring. The high sensitivity and real-time nature of ultrasonic technology enable it to be effectively monitored at the initial stage of rock damage, thus providing an accurate basis for the safety assessment of engineering. The computer control system can automatically adjust the working parameters of each unit and issue a warning when the damage reaches the preset threshold, ensuring the safety of rock engineering.

[0034] The present invention can simultaneously simulate the multi-field coupling effects of triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage, providing a comprehensive deterioration monitoring platform for rocks. The combined action of triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage makes the deterioration process of rocks more complex. Traditional single-field monitoring methods cannot effectively capture these complex dynamic changes, while the present invention can accurately monitor the deterioration state of rocks under multi-field coupling conditions. By accurately measuring the aging deterioration situation inside the rock (microscopic monitoring), the present invention can predict the deterioration risk of rocks under the coupling conditions of triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage, and take corresponding protective measures in advance. The present invention can adjust the triaxial stress, temperature, and seepage conditions in real time during the experiment and synchronously conduct ultrasonic monitoring, providing dynamic rock aging deterioration data, which enables researchers to accurately observe the aging deterioration process of rocks in a multi-field coupling environment and ensure the reliability and timeliness of experimental data.

[0035] The present invention introduces a correction coefficient when calculating the porosity and density of rocks. Due to the action of triaxial stress, the pore channels inside the rock are compressed, and the skeleton density and seepage channels of the rock are affected. Therefore, a correction coefficient is introduced to make the monitoring results more accurate and reliable. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0061] In this embodiment, the heater, heating pipe, thermometer, oil tank, oil pump, oil pipe, oil pressure gauge, water tank, water pipe, pressure control valve, computer control system, etc. used are all traditional equipment or instruments, and there are no special requirements for the model and structure. The computer control system includes a computer, a control panel, a switch, an interface, etc., and has functions such as data processing and storage.

[0062] The rock specimen can be placed into the sealed box through the upper platen jack or the lower platen jack. In actual operation of this embodiment, first insert the lower platen into the sealed box, and a lower platen base is provided at the bottom of the lower platen. Then insert the rock specimen into the sealed box through the upper platen jack, and make the rock specimen vertically fall on the top surface of the lower platen. Then insert the upper platen into the sealed box so that the rock specimen is located between the upper platen and the lower platen.

[0063] After all components of the monitoring device and the rock specimen are assembled together, a good sealing state needs to be achieved. Sealing treatment should be carried out at the connection parts or the parts with gaps of each component using sealing rings, gaskets or other sealing materials. The propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the skeletal minerals and pore fluids is a fixed value, and the densities of the skeletal minerals and pore fluids are also fixed values, and these fixed values can be determined according to the rock types.

[0064] The rock aging deterioration monitoring device and method under stress-temperature-seepage coupling of this embodiment have the following beneficial effects: (1) Considering the comprehensive effects of various factors such as triaxial stress, temperature and seepage at the same time, it comprehensively reflects the deterioration process of rocks in complex environments. (2) It can simultaneously simulate the multi-field coupling effects of triaxial stress, temperature and seepage, provide a comprehensive deterioration monitoring platform for rocks, and predict the deterioration risk of rocks under the coupling conditions of triaxial stress, temperature and seepage by accurately measuring the aging deterioration situation inside the rocks (microscopic monitoring), and take corresponding protective measures in advance. (3) It can adjust the triaxial stress, temperature and seepage conditions in real time during the experiment and synchronously conduct ultrasonic monitoring, and can provide dynamic rock aging deterioration data. (4) A correction coefficient is introduced when calculating the rock porosity and density. Due to the action of triaxial stress, the pore channels inside the rock are compacted, and the skeletal density and seepage channels of the rock are affected, so a correction coefficient is introduced, thereby making the monitoring results more accurate and reliable.

[0065] In this embodiment, = 3268 m / s, = 3921.6 m / s, and the calculated correction coefficient = 1.2; = 4500 m / s, = 1501 m / s, = 3260 m / s, and the original porosity of the rock specimen is calculated as = 0.181; = 2.65 g / cm 3 、 = 0.191 g / cm 3 , and the original density of the rock specimen is calculated as = 2.794 g / cm 3 .

[0066] In this embodiment, under the combined action of triaxial stress (axial compression in the upper and lower directions, confining pressure), temperature (50°C), and seepage pressure, the propagation wave velocity of ultrasonic waves in the rock specimen is measured every 1 hour within 24 hours. Then, the porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen at the corresponding time are calculated respectively through the corrected time-averaging formula and volume-weighting formula, so as to obtain the variation relationships of porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen with time under the coupling of triaxial stress-temperature-seepage.

[0067] The following design is a comparative example: The test is carried out using traditional test equipment and test methods. Only axial stress in the upper and lower directions is applied to the rock specimen, without applying confining pressure or seepage pressure; no correction coefficient is introduced, that is, the time-averaging formula and volume-weighting formula are not corrected, so the calculated porosity, density, deterioration degree, etc. of the rock specimen are also uncorrected results; the size, test temperature, test period, test time interval, etc. of the rock specimen are the same as those in the embodiment of the present invention; the propagation wave velocities of ultrasonic waves in the skeletal minerals and pore fluids, the densities of the skeletal minerals and pore fluids, etc. are the same as those in the embodiment of the present invention; finally, the variation relationships of porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen with time under only axial stress are obtained.

[0068] The physical photos of the rock specimens used in the above-mentioned embodiment and comparative example are as Figure 5 shown; the variation relationships of porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimens in the above-mentioned embodiment and comparative example with time are respectively as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 shown; the internal structural states of the rock specimens in the above-mentioned embodiment and comparative example after 24 hours of aging deterioration are respectively as Figure 9 、 Figure 10 shown.

[0069] From Figures 6-8 the comparison results, it can be seen that the variation relationships of porosity, density, and deterioration degree of the rock specimen measured by using the monitoring device and monitoring method of this embodiment are closer to the actual situation, and the test results are more accurate and reliable. Comparing Figure 9 and Figure 10 it can be seen that after 24 hours of aging deterioration, the internal structure of the rock specimen in this embodiment is compact and has fewer pores, while the rock specimen in the comparative example has more pores after 24 hours of aging deterioration.
