Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of mining engineering and grouting engineering, and particularly relates to a test method for the water flow blocking effect under the action of grouting in mining-induced fractures. Background Art
[0002] During the coal mining process, a large number of fractures will be formed in the rock strata due to mining-induced effects. These mining-induced fractures not only affect the safe production of mines, but may also become channels for groundwater flow, causing water inrush or even water bursting disasters in the stope. At the same time, the development of mining-induced fractures will also exacerbate surface subsidence, threatening the safety of ground buildings and structures.
[0003] Grouting is one of the important technical means for dealing with mining-induced fractures. By injecting grout into the fractures, the water flow channels can be effectively blocked and the broken rock mass can be reinforced. However, with the increase of coal mining intensity and mining depth, the development of mining-induced fractures becomes more complex, and the effect of single grouting is difficult to meet the engineering requirements. Especially under complex geological conditions, traditional grouting methods often have problems such as uneven slurry diffusion and incomplete filling, resulting in unsatisfactory grouting effects.
[0004] At present, the evaluation of the grouting effect of mining-induced fractures mainly relies on engineering experience and simple physical and mechanical tests, lacking scientific and quantitative evaluation methods. Especially for the water flow blocking effect of fractures after grouting, the existing technology mainly indirectly evaluates it through the change of water conductivity before and after grouting, and cannot intuitively and accurately reflect the blocking effect of grouting on water flow. At the same time, the existing evaluation methods rarely consider the dynamic development process of mining-induced fractures, resulting in a deviation between the evaluation results of grouting effects and the actual situation.
[0005] Therefore, establishing a test method that can intuitively and quantitatively evaluate the water flow blocking effect of grouting in mining-induced fractures is of great significance for guiding engineering practice and improving grouting effects. Summary of the Invention

[0074] The following uses specific data to illustrate the test method of this embodiment:
[0075] S1. Select a representative mining-influenced area at a coal mine site, select the sandstone rock layer located on the coal seam roof as the real test sample, and use a coring bit with a diameter of Φ100mm to collect a core sample with a length of 500mm. Record information such as sample depth, geological structure, and initial stress state.
[0076] S2. Use a CT scanning system to conduct three-dimensional scanning on the core sample with a scanning accuracy of 0.1mm. Through professional image reconstruction software, draw a three-dimensional network distribution map of rock fractures, accurately extract fracture geometric feature data, including fracture density, fractal dimension, average aperture, connectivity rate, etc., and obtain a 3D scan file.
[0077] S3. Use gangue with a composition similar to that of the rock sample as the raw material, and at the same time add cement, binder, etc., and mix them in a certain proportion to obtain the 3D printing raw material. Set the printing parameters, with a layer thickness of 0.1 mm, a printing speed of 50 mm / s, a nozzle diameter of 0.4 mm, and the formed size being exactly the same as that of the original core sample. After printing, perform surface fine processing to ensure a highly restored fracture morphology.
[0078] S4. Use ordinary Portland cement, control the ratio of cement to water at 0.5:1, and add fine silica gel and an expansive agent to improve the permeability and stability of the slurry. Adopt the micro-pressure sectional grouting method, control the grouting pressure at 1.0 MPa, the grouting rate at 25 mL / min, and complete the grouting in 3 working sections. After grouting, place it in a constant temperature and humidity chamber at a temperature of 20±2°C and a relative humidity of 95% for 28 days of curing to make the slurry fully hardened.
[0079] S5. Conduct tests on a multi-functional testing system, set the confining pressure at 3.0 MPa, the water pressure gradient at 0.5 MPa / m, and select sodium fluorescein as the tracer. Use a high-speed camera to record the water flow migration process, with a frame rate of 1500 fps, and perform fluorescence-enhanced imaging in cooperation with an ultraviolet light source.
[0080] S6. Analyze the water flow trajectory through image processing software, calculate the permeability coefficient and the water flow barrier rate, and comprehensively evaluate the water flow barrier effect after grouting. Use image processing software (such as ImageJ) to analyze the water flow migration video, extract the water flow path, and calculate the water flow velocity. Define the calculation formula for the water flow barrier rate as: Barrier rate = (1 - permeability coefficient after grouting / permeability coefficient before grouting) × 100%.
[0081] S7. Analyze the changes in the water flow path, permeability coefficient, and water flow barrier rate before and after grouting under different confining pressure conditions, and evaluate the water flow barrier effect and stress sensitivity of grouting.
[0082] Experimental results: When the confining pressure is 3 MPa, the permeability coefficient of the rock model before grouting is 5.2×10 -5 m / s, and the permeability coefficient after grouting is reduced to 8.7×10 -7 m / s, and the water flow barrier rate reaches 98.3%. The visualization results show that before grouting, the water flow rapidly migrates in the fracture network, and after grouting, the water flow path is significantly reduced and the water flow velocity is significantly decreased. Under different confining pressure conditions, the water flow barrier rate of grouting remains above 95%, indicating that this grouting method has good stress adaptability.
[0083] This embodiment also proposes a multi-functional testing system for implementing the mechanical seepage test in the test method for the water flow barrier effect under the action of goaf fracture grouting;
[0084] Its system includes:
[0085] The stress loading module is used to simulate the stress environment under actual mining conditions. By applying different pressures and stress conditions to rock samples, the change of rock fractures during the mining process can be more realistically reproduced.
[0086] The water pressure control module is used to accurately adjust and control the water pressure. During the test, by controlling the water pressure, the water flow characteristics of fractures under different groundwater pressure conditions can be simulated.
[0087] The tracer injection module is used to accurately inject a liquid with specific color and tracer characteristics into the fractures of rock samples. By using tracers of different colors, the water flow migration path can be visually traced and marked, and the propagation trajectory of the water flow can be clearly presented under ultraviolet light, providing an intuitive visualization solution for studying the grouting effect of mining fractures.
[0088] The data acquisition module is responsible for recording the key data of the entire test process, including the water flow migration trajectory, permeability parameters, and the change of water flow characteristics before and after grouting, providing a detailed data basis for subsequent quantitative analysis.
[0089] The visualization observation system mainly uses a high-speed camera and an ultraviolet light source to record and observe the water flow migration process in real time, converting the abstract water flow propagation into an intuitive image.
[0090] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
