Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of soil reinforcement visualization construction, and in particular to a soil reinforcement visualization tracing method and a simulation device. Background Art
[0002] In engineering construction, such as building foundation construction, slope management, and underground excavation, soil stability is a critical factor in ensuring project safety and quality. Most natural soils, due to characteristics such as insufficient strength, fail to meet technical requirements and therefore require reinforcement. For example, unreinforced soil in high-rise buildings can lead to settlement and cracking; unreinforced soil in slopes is prone to landslides and collapses, posing a safety hazard. During soil reinforcement, real-time and intuitive understanding of the diffusion range, distribution uniformity, and reinforcement effectiveness of reinforcement materials is crucial for optimizing construction parameters and improving reinforcement quality. Failure to monitor slurry diffusion in real time can easily lead to localized under- or over-grouting, which not only weakens the reinforcement effect but can also lead to secondary engineering problems. Traditional soil reinforcement testing methods are highly destructive and costly, lack continuous tracing testing, and lack the ability to intuitively understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effectiveness of reinforcement materials within the soil.
[0003] Prior art Chinese patent document 202411584612.X discloses an automated proportioning method and device for conductive grouting tracer materials. This method aims to address the existing technical problem of a lack of automated design methods for conductive tracer proportioning during foundation pit grouting reinforcement, resulting in poor electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) results. The invention includes the following steps: data acquisition and collection; parameter setting and construction plan development; grouting proportion control and construction measure determination; automated proportion generation and output; and automated real-time feedback and correction.
[0004] However, the implementation of the above-mentioned scheme presents at least the following technical challenges: Traditional soil reinforcement methods lack effective real-time monitoring during construction, making it impossible to intuitively understand the diffusion range, distribution uniformity, and reinforcement effectiveness of the reinforcement material within the soil. This can lead to uneven reinforcement results, and under complex geological conditions, it is difficult to accurately locate abnormal areas, resulting in ineffective reinforcement measures targeting problem areas and difficulties in optimizing construction parameters. Therefore, a method and device for visually tracing soil reinforcement is urgently needed. This method, which can accurately and real-timely reflect the distribution of reinforcement materials within the soil and the reinforcement effect, is of great practical significance for improving the quality and efficiency of soil reinforcement projects. It not only provides intuitive guidance for construction personnel, helping them to adjust construction parameters in a timely manner to ensure uniform distribution and effective diffusion of reinforcement materials, but also provides reliable technical support for project supervision and quality inspection, reducing project risks and ensuring the safety and reliability of construction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a method and device for visual implementation of soil reinforcement tracing, which solves the technical problem that traditional soil reinforcement methods in the existing technology lack effective real-time monitoring means during the construction process, and cannot intuitively understand the diffusion range, distribution uniformity and reinforcement effect of the reinforcement material in the soil.

When it is water-filled, hollow or water-rich, a path is formed to converge current, which appears as low resistance anomaly.
[0007] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a method for preparing a conductive tracer material is provided for detecting the flow of soil slurry during grouting to understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effect of the reinforcement material in the soil, including the following steps: S1: Dry mixing: cement and fly ash are dry mixed; S2: Preparation of dispersion: After the graphite powder is mixed with the dispersant and water, tributyl phosphate is added to the dispersion and the mixture is thoroughly mixed by high-speed stirring to form a dispersion; S3: Tracer material: dry-mixed cement and fly ash are wet-mixed with the dispersion prepared above in a cement-sand mixer to obtain a tracer material; S4: Testing: The prepared tracer material is subjected to flowability test, water extraction rate test, and viscosity test.
[0008] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the conductive tracer material is prepared for fluidity testing using an extended cone flow test plate and a rheometer. The grouting material is poured into the fluid mold material, and its diffusion diameter is measured after it flows out naturally to evaluate the material fluidity.
[0009] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the water leaching rate test of the conductive tracer material is performed using a glass plate and a standard container; the water leaching rate is calculated by comparing the height difference between the initial and final states of the conductive tracer material after standing.
[0010] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the viscosity test of the conductive tracer material is mainly performed using a Marshall funnel and a standard cup test, and the viscosity of the material is evaluated based on the time it takes for the material to flow into the standard cup.
[0011] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the resistivity of the conductive tracer material is dynamically monitored during the curing period, and the time-varying dynamic monitoring results of the resistivity are fitted to obtain a relationship between the resistivity and the curing age that satisfies the following functional relationship: ; Where, ρ is the test resistivity of the grouting slurry, unit: Ω·cm, t For the maintenance age, t 0. ρ 1 、 ρ 2 are fitting parameters, among which ρ 1 、 ρ 2 They can indirectly reflect the initial monitoring stage and final state impedance of the material. t 0 reflects the time point when the resistivity of the tracer material increases fastest, p is the control parameter related to the time-varying properties of the material.
[0012] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a conductive tracer material flexural strength test device is provided, which is suitable for the above-mentioned method for preparing the conductive tracer material and is used for testing the mechanical properties of the tracer material. The device comprises an upper loading plate and a lower loading plate. Pressure is applied above the upper loading plate by a hydraulic rod. A spirit level is provided above the upper loading plate to ensure that it remains horizontal when pressure is applied. The upper loading plate is connected to an upper fixture back plate through a force transmission rod below the upper loading plate. A lower fixture back plate is provided above the lower loading plate. A flexural test loading rod is accommodated between the upper and lower fixture back plates to contact the slurry sample.
[0013] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in the geological body response of step S5, the moisture content of the soil, the relative resistivity of the soil, and the imaging field average all satisfy the following functional relationship: ; In the formula R is the test relative resistance of the soil, is the sensitive field characteristic value, a 0 、 b 0 、 c 0 are fitting parameters, ω is the soil moisture content.
[0014] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a soil reinforcement visualization tracing simulation device is provided, which is suitable for the above-mentioned soil reinforcement visualization tracing method. The device includes a spring electrode group surrounding a specimen. The spring electrode group is arranged in a multi-layer structure along the longitudinal direction to obtain the cross-sectional resistivity at different heights of the specimen to form a three-dimensional measurement network. The spring electrode group is connected to an acquisition control unit for acquiring the excitation and response voltages of the multi-layer electrodes. The acquisition control unit is connected to a data processing unit, which fuses the multi-layer resistivity data based on an interpolation algorithm to reconstruct a complete three-dimensional resistivity distribution image inside the specimen.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] By deploying an electrode array and performing potential measurements, combined with resistivity calculations, the diffusion and distribution of tracer materials in the soil can be monitored in real time, generating an intuitive three-dimensional resistivity distribution image. This visualization technology enables construction personnel to observe the injection effect of reinforcement materials in real time during the reinforcement process, promptly identifying problems such as uneven grouting and insufficient diffusion, thereby optimizing construction parameters and ensuring uniform distribution of the reinforcement material. Based on the geological response, abnormal areas in the soil, such as voids, cracks, and water-rich areas, can be precisely located, providing accurate target locations for subsequent reinforcement treatments, avoiding blind construction and improving the targeted and effective nature of the reinforcement. During the construction process, through real-time monitoring and visual feedback, construction personnel can promptly adjust construction parameters such as grouting pressure, grouting speed, and grouting volume based on the diffusion of the tracer material and changes in soil resistivity, ensuring that the reinforcement material fully fills the soil pores and achieves the desired reinforcement effect. This effectively avoids the problems of uneven reinforcement and poor reinforcement results caused by fixed construction parameters in traditional reinforcement methods. Precise reinforcement treatments and optimized construction techniques can significantly improve soil strength and stability, reduce the incidence of engineering accidents such as soil deformation and landslides, and thus extend the project's service life and reduce subsequent maintenance costs and risks. Traditional reinforcement methods, due to a lack of effective monitoring, often require numerous trials and adjustments to achieve the desired reinforcement results. This not only increases construction time and costs but can also cause project delays. This technology, through real-time monitoring and visual feedback, can quickly determine optimal construction parameters, reducing trial and error during the construction process, thereby shortening the construction period and reducing labor and material costs. During the grouting reinforcement process, precise control of the grouting range and volume avoids the material waste associated with uneven or excessive grouting, which is common with traditional grouting methods. This not only reduces the use of reinforcement materials and material costs, but also minimizes environmental impact, aligning with the concept of green construction. In complex geological conditions or underground projects, such as caverns and tunnels, traditional reinforcement methods can pose certain construction risks, such as excessive grouting pressure leading to soil rupture and groundwater intrusion. This application can effectively avoid these construction risks, ensure the safety of the construction process, and protect the safety of construction workers and the surrounding environment by real-time monitoring and precise control of the grouting process. Micron graphite fly ash composite cement-based grouting tracer material is used. This material not only has good mechanical properties and fluidity, but is also environmentally friendly. As an industrial waste residue, the reuse of fly ash reduces the exploitation of natural resources and meets the requirements of sustainable development. At the same time, through precise grouting and material dosage control, the pollution of groundwater resources and damage to the surrounding ecological environment are reduced. Through dynamic monitoring and fitting analysis of resistivity throughout the entire maintenance cycle, the relationship between the resistivity of the tracer material and the curing age can be obtained, providing a scientific basis for engineering design.Designers can rationally determine the curing time and strength development patterns of reinforcement materials, optimize project design solutions, and ensure that reinforcement results meet project requirements. During construction, real-time monitoring and visual feedback enable timely identification of quality issues, such as uneven grouting and poor reinforcement results, and the implementation of appropriate remedial measures. This real-time quality control approach effectively ensures the quality of reinforcement projects, reduces engineering accidents and economic losses caused by quality issues, and provides reliable technical support for project quality acceptance.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0019] A soil reinforcement visualization tracing method is provided, comprising the following steps: S1: Excitation electrode array layout: Electrode arrays are laid out on the surface and in underground boreholes within the soil mass encompassing the survey area; S2: Excitation electrode discharge measurement: Using the prepared conductive tracer material, during the grouting process, direct current or low-frequency alternating current with a current of I is injected into the ground through the excitation electrode to form an artificial electric field in the underground medium; S3: Potential difference measurement: During the grouting process, while the current is injected into the excitation electrode, the potential difference at any point in the electrode array is measured. ; S4: Calculate the resistivity: The resistivity of any point in the electrode array: , where: Adjustment factors for test fixtures; is the potential difference between the measured electrodes; I is the supply current; S5: Geological body response judgment: The geological body response is judged by the difference in resistivity. When the geological body is dry, hollow or unfilled, it hinders the passage of current and appears as high resistance. When it is water-filled, hollow or water-rich, a path is formed to converge current, which appears as low resistance anomaly.
[0020] A method for preparing a conductive tracer material for detecting soil slurry flow during grouting to understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effect of the reinforcement material in the soil, comprising the following steps: S1: Dry mixing: cement and fly ash are dry mixed; S2: Preparation of dispersion: After the graphite powder is mixed with the dispersant and water, tributyl phosphate is added to the dispersion and the mixture is thoroughly mixed by high-speed stirring to form a dispersion; S3: Tracer material: dry-mixed cement and fly ash are wet-mixed with the dispersion prepared above in a cement-sand mixer to obtain a tracer material; S4: Testing: The prepared tracer material is subjected to flowability test, water extraction rate test, and viscosity test.
[0021] The fluidity test of the conductive tracer material is carried out using an extended cone flow test plate and a rheometer. The grouting material is poured into the fluid mold and the material flows out naturally, and its diffusion diameter is measured to evaluate the material fluidity.
[0022] The water leaching rate test of the conductive tracer material is carried out using a glass plate and a standard container; the water leaching rate is calculated by comparing the height difference between the initial and final states of the conductive tracer material after it has been allowed to stand.
[0023] Conductive tracer material viscosity testing mainly uses a Marshall funnel and a standard cup test to evaluate the viscosity based on the time it takes for the material to flow into the standard cup.
[0024] The resistivity of the conductive tracer material was dynamically monitored during the curing period, and the time-varying dynamic monitoring results of the resistivity were fitted. It was found that the relationship between the resistivity and the curing age satisfies the following functional relationship: ; Where, ρ is the test resistivity of the grouting slurry, unit: Ω·cm, t For the maintenance age, t 0. ρ 1 、 ρ 2 are fitting parameters, among which ρ 1 、 ρ 2 They can indirectly reflect the initial monitoring stage and final state impedance of the material. t 0 reflects the time point when the resistivity of the tracer material increases fastest, p is the control parameter related to the time-varying properties of the material.
[0025] A conductive tracer material flexural strength test device is suitable for the above-mentioned conductive tracer material preparation method and is used for testing the mechanical properties of the tracer material. It includes an upper loading plate and a lower loading plate. Pressure is applied to the upper loading plate by a hydraulic rod. A spirit level is provided above the upper loading plate to ensure that it remains horizontal when pressure is applied. The upper loading plate is connected to an upper fixture back plate via a force transmission rod below. A lower fixture back plate is provided above the lower loading plate. A flexural test loading rod is accommodated between the upper and lower fixture back plates to contact a slurry sample.
[0026] In the geological body response of step S5, the moisture content of the soil, the relative resistivity of the soil, and the imaging field average all satisfy the following functional relationship: ; In the formula R is the test relative resistance of the soil, is the sensitive field characteristic value, a 0 、 b 0 、 c 0 are fitting parameters, ω is the soil moisture content.
[0027] A soil reinforcement visualization tracing simulation device, suitable for the aforementioned soil reinforcement visualization tracing method, comprises a spring electrode group surrounding a specimen. The spring electrode group is arranged in multiple layers longitudinally to acquire cross-sectional resistivity at different heights of the specimen, forming a three-dimensional measurement network. The spring electrode group is connected to an acquisition control unit for collecting the excitation and response voltages of the multiple layers of electrodes. The acquisition control unit is connected to a data processing unit, which fuses the resistivity data from multiple layers using an interpolation algorithm to reconstruct a complete three-dimensional resistivity distribution image within the specimen. Each layer of the spring electrode group (1) includes 16 spring electrodes (2) spaced evenly around the specimen, and the spring electrode group is arranged in six layers longitudinally.
[0028] To further investigate the traceability of graphite fly ash grouting materials during high-pressure jet grouting reinforcement of deep foundation pits, this study designed an indoor test platform. This platform used a 30-cm cube of acrylic as the experimental container and strip electrodes as measuring electrodes. The platform was filled with 80-mesh homogeneous glass sand to simulate the electrical properties of homogeneous sand at a scaled scale. Imaging tests were performed using a 16-electrode imaging system.
[0029] In practical grouting reinforcement projects, the scale of the excavation is a crucial factor influencing the grouting effect. As the excavation depth increases, the distribution and permeability of the grouting material may change. In particular, the electrical properties of the soil in deep excavations may be affected by more complex factors. To accurately evaluate the effectiveness of electrical resistance tomography (ERT) in deep excavation reinforcement, it is necessary to simulate the electrical properties and imaging results at different excavation scales.
[0030] There is a strong linear correlation between the excavation depth and the imaging field characteristic value, which shows that the existing acquisition conditions of the current indoor test platform can effectively reflect the changes in the voltage field value caused by the excavation depth. At the same time, as the excavation depth approaches the plane where the electrode is located, the test accuracy for the hole scale is higher. This shows that during the excitation process of the strip electrode, the collected field value mainly depends on the plane where the electrode is located, and the voltage field reflects the conductivity distribution of the test field. This experiment proves that the test site can realize imaging testing, and also proves that the distance between the electrode plane and the excavation depth can be further predicted by the imaging field average value, which has certain guiding significance for engineering to determine the three-dimensional spatial distance between the electrode and the hole and drill hole adjustment.
[0031] Similarly, correlation studies were conducted around different excavation widths. A strong linear correlation was also found between the excavation scale and the imaging field characteristic values. This also verified that the existing acquisition conditions of the current indoor test platform can effectively reflect the changes in voltage field values caused by the excavation width. As the excavation width increases, when the excavation diameter is 2.5 and 5 cm, the sensitive field voltage changes caused by the excavation cannot be imaged through differential imaging. However, when the excavation diameter is about 7.5 cm, imaging of position and geometric dimensions can be achieved, and the imaging can reflect the changes caused by the excavation width. This shows that during the excitation process of the strip electrode, when the electrode position is fixed and the excavation depth is close to the electrode plane, the collected field value can reflect the impact of the excavation width. From the imaging perspective, the test accuracy of the equipment at the current indoor scale can meet the imaging requirements of a 7.5 cm diameter.
[0032] In summary, the excavation scale test determined the basic grouting imaging scale for subsequent grouting tests, namely, the excavation diameter and grouting range of the test site. While verifying that the test site can realize imaging testing, it also proved that the distance between the electrode plane and the excavation depth can be further predicted by the imaging field average value. This has certain guiding significance for determining the three-dimensional spatial distance between the electrode and the hole, adjusting the drilling hole, and adjusting the spatial distance between the electrode and the hole scale range.
[0033] Indoor tracer material grouting simulation Through the indoor test platform built above, through the indoor tomography grouting reinforcement simulation test, it was verified that the tracer material has significant advantages over ordinary cement-based grouting materials. The tracer slurry has tracer stability and can realize the full cycle monitoring of the grouting reinforcement process. After the slurry solidifies, compared with ordinary slurry, its electrical properties advantages enable it to still meet the imaging requirements, providing an economical, environmentally friendly, safe and stable tracer material option for determining the grouting reinforcement range and evaluating the grouting effect in grouting reinforcement projects. Finally, the significant advantages of tracer materials compared to ordinary materials are given, as shown in the following table:

Therefore, the appended claims are intended to be interpreted as including the preferred embodiments and all changes and modifications that fall within the scope of the present invention.
