Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of soil reinforcement visualization construction technology, and in particular to a soil reinforcement visualization tracing method and simulation device. Background Technology

[0002] In engineering construction, such as foundation construction, slope stabilization, and underground engineering excavation, soil stability is a key factor in ensuring project safety and quality. Many natural soils, due to insufficient strength and other characteristics, cannot meet technical requirements and therefore require reinforcement. For example, unreinforced soil in high-rise buildings may lead to settlement and cracking; unreinforced soil in slopes is prone to landslides and collapses, endangering safety. During soil reinforcement, real-time and intuitive monitoring of the diffusion range, uniformity of distribution, and soil reinforcement effect is crucial for optimizing construction parameters and improving reinforcement quality. If the grout diffusion status cannot be monitored in real time, localized insufficient or excessive grouting can easily occur, weakening the reinforcement effect and potentially inducing secondary engineering problems. Traditional soil reinforcement testing methods are highly destructive and costly, cannot achieve continuous tracer detection, and lack the technical expertise to intuitively understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effect assessment of the reinforcement material in the soil.

[0003] Chinese patent document 202411584612.X discloses an automated method and apparatus for proportioning conductive grouting tracer materials. This aims to address the technical problem in existing technologies where the design of conductive tracer material proportions during foundation pit grouting reinforcement lacks automated means, resulting in poor resistivity tomography (ERT) results. The invention includes the following steps: data acquisition and collection; parameter setting and construction plan formulation; controlling the grouting proportion and determining construction measures; automated proportion generation and output; and automated real-time feedback and correction.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned solutions suffer from at least the following technical problems during implementation: Traditional soil reinforcement methods lack effective real-time monitoring during construction, making it impossible to intuitively understand the diffusion range, distribution uniformity, and reinforcement effect of the reinforcement material in the soil. This easily leads to uneven reinforcement effects, and in complex geological conditions, it is difficult to accurately locate abnormal areas, resulting in reinforcement measures that cannot effectively target problem areas, and making it difficult to optimize construction parameters. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a visual implementation tracking method and device for soil reinforcement. This method can accurately reflect the distribution of reinforcement materials in the soil and the reinforcement effect in real time, which is of significant practical importance for improving the quality and efficiency of soil reinforcement projects. It can not only provide intuitive construction guidance for construction personnel, helping them adjust construction parameters in a timely manner to ensure uniform distribution and effective diffusion of reinforcement materials, but also provide reliable technical support for project supervision and quality inspection, reducing project risks and ensuring the safety and reliability of project construction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, this disclosure provides a method and device for visual implementation tracking of soil reinforcement, which solves the technical problem that traditional soil reinforcement methods in the prior art lack effective real-time monitoring means during construction, and cannot intuitively understand the diffusion range, distribution uniformity and reinforcement effect of reinforcement materials in the soil.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, a method for visualizing and tracing soil reinforcement is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1: Deployment of excitation electrode array: Deploy electrode arrays in surface and underground boreholes within the soil area enclosed by the survey area.

[0008] S2: Excitation electrode discharge measurement: Using the prepared conductive tracer material, an artificial electric field is formed in the underground medium by injecting a current of I into the ground through the excitation electrode during the grouting process.

[0009] S3: Potential difference measurement: During the grouting process, while injecting current into the excitation electrodes, the potential difference at any point in the electrode array is measured. ;

[0010] S4: Calculate resistivity: Resistivity at any point in the electrode array: In the formula: Adjust the coefficients for the testing device; To measure the potential difference between the electrodes; I is the supply current;

[0011] S5: Geological body response judgment: The geological body response is judged by the difference in resistivity. When the geological body is dry cavity or unfilled fissure, it hinders the passage of current and is manifested as high resistance; when it is water-filled cavity or water-rich area, it forms a channel to collect current and is manifested as low resistance anomaly.

[0012] In the S5 geological body response, the soil moisture content and the measured relative resistivity of the soil both satisfy the following functional relationship:

[0013] ;

[0014] In the formula, R is the measured relative resistance of the soil, a0, b0, and c0 are all fitting parameters, and ω is the soil moisture content.

[0015] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the conductive tracer material described in step S2 is used to detect the flow of soil slurry during grouting, to understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effect of the reinforcing material in the soil, and the preparation method of the conductive tracer material includes the following steps:

[0016] S1: Dry mix: Cement and fly ash are dry mixed;

[0017] S2: Dispersion preparation: After mixing graphite powder with dispersant and water, tributyl phosphate is added to the dispersion and thoroughly mixed by high-speed stirring to form a dispersion;

[0018] S3: Tracer material: The dry-mixed cement and fly ash are wet-mixed with the above-prepared dispersion in a cement sand mixer to obtain a conductive tracer material.

[0019] S4: Testing: The prepared conductive tracer material is subjected to flowability testing, water separation rate testing, and viscosity testing.

[0020] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the fluidity test of the conductive tracer material is performed using an extended conical flow test plate and a rheometer. The fluidity of the material is evaluated by measuring its diffusion diameter after the grouting material is poured into the fluid mold material and flows out naturally.

[0021] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the water separation rate test of the conductive tracer material is performed using a glass plate and a standard container; the water separation rate is calculated by comparing the height difference between the initial and final states of the conductive tracer material after it has been left to stand.

[0022] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the viscosity of the conductive tracer material is tested using a Marshall funnel and a standard cup, and its viscosity is evaluated based on the time it takes for the material to flow into the standard cup.

[0023] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the resistivity of the conductive tracer material is dynamically monitored during the curing period. The time-varying dynamic monitoring results of resistivity are fitted to obtain the following functional relationship between resistivity and curing age:

[0024] ;

[0025] In the formula, N is the test resistivity of the grout, in Ω·cm, t is the curing age, t0, ρ1, and ρ2 are all fitting parameters, where ρ1 and ρ2 can indirectly reflect the magnitude of the material's impedance in the initial monitoring stage and the final state of the material, respectively, t0 reflects the time point when the resistivity of the conductive tracer material increases the fastest, and p is a control parameter related to the time-varying characteristics of the material.

[0026] According to another aspect of this disclosure, a soil reinforcement visualization and tracing simulation device is provided, applicable to soil reinforcement visualization and tracing methods. It includes a spring electrode assembly surrounding a sample, wherein the spring electrode assembly is arranged in a multi-layered structure along the longitudinal direction to obtain the cross-sectional resistivity at different heights of the sample, forming a three-dimensional measurement network. The spring electrode assembly is connected to a data acquisition and control unit, which is used to acquire the excitation and response voltages of the multi-layered electrodes. The data acquisition and control unit is connected to a data processing unit, which fuses the multi-layered resistivity data based on an interpolation algorithm to reconstruct a complete three-dimensional resistivity distribution image inside the sample.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0028] By deploying electrode arrays and measuring potential, combined with resistivity calculations, the diffusion and distribution of tracer materials in the soil can be monitored in real time, forming an intuitive three-dimensional resistivity distribution image. This visualization technology allows construction personnel to observe the injection effect of the reinforcement material 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 cavities, fissures, and water-rich areas, can be accurately located, providing accurate target locations for subsequent reinforcement treatment, avoiding blind construction, and improving the targeting and effectiveness of reinforcement. During construction, through real-time monitoring and visualization feedback, construction personnel can adjust construction parameters such as grouting pressure, grouting speed, and grouting volume in a timely manner based on the diffusion of the tracer material and changes in soil resistivity, ensuring that the reinforcement material can fully fill the soil pores and achieve the expected reinforcement effect. This effectively avoids the problems of uneven reinforcement and poor reinforcement effect caused by fixed construction parameters in traditional reinforcement methods. Through precise reinforcement and optimized construction techniques, the strength and stability of soil can be significantly improved, reducing the probability of engineering accidents such as soil deformation and landslides, thereby extending the service life of the project and reducing later maintenance costs and risks. In traditional reinforcement methods, due to the lack of effective monitoring tools, construction personnel often need to conduct multiple trials and adjustments to achieve the desired reinforcement effect. This not only increases construction time and costs but may also lead to project delays. This technology, through real-time monitoring and visual feedback, can quickly determine the optimal construction parameters, reducing trial-and-error steps in the construction process, thus shortening the construction cycle and reducing labor and material costs. In the grouting reinforcement process, precise control of the grouting range and volume avoids the material waste caused by uneven or excessive grouting in traditional grouting methods. This not only saves on the amount of reinforcement materials used and reduces material costs but also reduces environmental impact, aligning with the concept of green construction. In some complex geological conditions or underground engineering construction, such as underground caverns and tunnels, traditional reinforcement methods may pose certain construction risks, such as excessive grouting pressure leading to soil rupture and groundwater outbursts. This application effectively avoids these construction risks and ensures the safety of the construction process by real-time monitoring and precise control of the grouting process, protecting the safety of construction personnel and the surrounding environment. It employs a micron-sized graphite-fly ash composite cement-based grouting tracer material, which not only possesses excellent mechanical properties and flowability but is also environmentally friendly. Fly ash, as an industrial waste residue, reduces the exploitation of natural resources through its reuse, aligning with the requirements of sustainable development. Simultaneously, precise grouting and material dosage control reduce pollution of groundwater resources and damage to the surrounding ecological environment. Through dynamic monitoring and fitting analysis of resistivity throughout the entire curing cycle, the relationship between the tracer material's resistivity and curing age can be derived, providing a scientific basis for engineering design.Designers can rationally determine the curing time and strength development patterns of reinforcement materials, optimize engineering design schemes, and ensure that the reinforcement effect meets engineering requirements. During construction, real-time monitoring and visual feedback can promptly identify construction quality problems, such as uneven grouting or unsatisfactory reinforcement effects, and allow for corresponding remedial measures. This real-time quality control method effectively guarantees the quality of reinforcement projects, reduces engineering accidents and economic losses caused by quality problems, and provides reliable technical support for project quality acceptance.

[0072] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0073] A method for visualizing and tracing soil reinforcement is provided, including the following steps:

[0074] S1: Deployment of excitation electrode array: Deploy electrode arrays in surface and underground boreholes within the soil area enclosed by the survey area.

[0075] S2: Excitation electrode discharge measurement: Using the prepared conductive tracer material, an artificial electric field is formed in the underground medium by injecting a current of I into the ground through the excitation electrode during the grouting process.

[0076] S3: Potential difference measurement: During the grouting process, while injecting current into the excitation electrodes, the potential difference at any point in the electrode array is measured. ;

[0077] S4: Calculate resistivity: Resistivity at any point in the electrode array: In the formula: Adjust the coefficients for the testing device; To measure the potential difference between the electrodes; I is the supply current;

[0078] S5: Geological body response judgment: The geological body response is judged by the difference in resistivity. When the geological body is dry cavity or unfilled fissure, it hinders the passage of current and is manifested as high resistance; when it is water-filled cavity or water-rich area, it forms a channel to collect current and is manifested as low resistance anomaly.

[0079] In the S5 geological body response, the soil moisture content and the measured relative resistivity of the soil both satisfy the following functional relationship:

[0080] ;

[0081] In the formula, R is the measured relative resistance of the soil, a0, b0, and c0 are all fitting parameters, and ω is the soil moisture content.

[0082] In some embodiments of this disclosure, the conductive tracer material described in step S2 is used to detect the flow of soil slurry during grouting, to understand the diffusion range, flow distribution, and reinforcement effect of the reinforcing material in the soil, and the preparation method of the conductive tracer material includes the following steps:

[0083] S1: Dry mix: Cement and fly ash are dry mixed;

[0084] S2: Dispersion preparation: After mixing graphite powder with dispersant and water, tributyl phosphate is added to the dispersion and thoroughly mixed by high-speed stirring to form a dispersion;

[0085] S3: Tracer material: The dry-mixed cement and fly ash are wet-mixed with the above-prepared dispersion in a cement sand mixer to obtain a conductive tracer material.

[0086] S4: Testing: The prepared conductive tracer material is subjected to flowability testing, water separation rate testing, and viscosity testing.

[0087] The fluidity test of conductive tracer material preparation is carried out using an extended conical flow test plate and a rheometer. After the grouting material is poured into the fluid mold and the material flows out naturally, its diffusion diameter is measured to evaluate the material's fluidity.

[0088] The water separation rate test for conductive tracer materials is conducted using a glass plate and a standard container; the water separation rate is calculated by comparing the height difference between the initial and final states of the conductive tracer material after it has been left to stand.

[0089] Viscosity testing of conductive tracer materials is performed using a Marshall funnel and a standard cup, and the viscosity is evaluated based on the time it takes for the material to flow into the standard cup.

[0090] Dynamic monitoring of resistivity of conductive tracer materials during the curing period was conducted. The time-varying dynamic monitoring results of resistivity were fitted, and the relationship between resistivity and curing age was found to satisfy the following functional relationship:

[0091] ;

[0092] In the formula, N is the test resistivity of the grout, in Ω·cm, t is the curing age, t0, ρ1, and ρ2 are all fitting parameters, where ρ1 and ρ2 can indirectly reflect the magnitude of the material's impedance in the initial monitoring stage and the final state of the material, respectively, t0 reflects the time point when the resistivity of the conductive tracer material increases the fastest, and p is a control parameter related to the time-varying characteristics of the material.

[0093] A soil reinforcement visualization and tracing simulation device, applicable to soil reinforcement visualization and tracing methods, includes a spring electrode assembly surrounding a sample. The spring electrode assembly is arranged in a multi-layer structure along the longitudinal direction to obtain the cross-sectional resistivity at different heights of the sample, forming a three-dimensional measurement network. The spring electrode assembly is connected to a data acquisition and control unit, which is used to acquire the excitation and response voltages of the multi-layer electrodes. The data acquisition and 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 sample.

[0094] Each layer of the spring electrode assembly 1 includes 16 circumferentially spaced spring electrodes 2, and the spring electrode assembly is arranged in 6 layers along the longitudinal direction.

[0095] Furthermore, to investigate the tracer effect of graphite fly ash grouting material in the high-pressure jet grouting reinforcement process of deep foundation pits, this study designed an indoor experimental platform. The platform used a 30cm cubic acrylic box as the experimental container and strip electrodes as the measuring electrodes. The platform was filled with 80-mesh homogeneous glass sand to simulate the electrical properties of homogeneous sand at a proportional scale. Imaging tests were performed using a 16-electrode imaging system.

[0096] In practical engineering projects involving grouting reinforcement, the excavation scale of the foundation pit is a crucial factor affecting the grouting effect. As the depth of the foundation pit increases, the distribution and permeation behavior of the grouting material may change. In particular, the electrical properties of the soil in deep foundation pits may be affected by more complex factors. To accurately evaluate the application effect of resistivity tomography in deep foundation pit grouting reinforcement, it is necessary to simulate the electrical properties and imaging effects under different excavation scales.

[0097] The excavation depth and the characteristic value of the imaging field show a strong linear correlation, indicating that the existing acquisition conditions of the current indoor test platform can effectively reflect the changes in voltage field value caused by the excavation depth. At the same time, the test accuracy for hole size increases as the excavation depth approaches the plane where the electrode is located. This shows that during the excitation process of the strip electrode, the acquired field value mainly depends on the plane where the electrode is located, while the voltage field reflects the conductivity distribution of the test field. This experiment proves that the test site can realize imaging test, and also proves that the distance between the electrode plane and the excavation depth can be further predicted by the average value of the imaging field. This has certain guiding significance for engineering to determine the three-dimensional spatial distance between the electrode and the hole and for borehole adjustment.

[0098] Similarly, correlation studies were conducted around different excavation extents. A strong linear correlation was also found between the excavation scale and the imaging field characteristic values. This also verifies that the existing acquisition conditions of the current indoor test platform can effectively reflect the changes in voltage field values ​​caused by the excavation extent. As the excavation extent increases, when the excavation diameter is 2.5 and 5 cm, the changes in sensitive field voltage caused by the excavation cannot be detected by differential imaging. However, when the excavation diameter is about 7.5 cm, imaging of position and geometric dimensions can be achieved, and this accuracy increases with subsequent excavation scales. The changes caused by the excavation extent can be reflected through imaging. This indicates that during the excitation process of the strip electrode, with the electrode position fixed, when the excavation depth is close to the electrode plane, the acquired field values ​​can reflect the impact of the excavation extent. From an imaging perspective, the testing accuracy of the current indoor scale equipment can meet the imaging requirements of a 7.5 cm diameter.

[0099] In summary, the excavation scale test established the basic grouting imaging scale for subsequent grouting tests, namely, the determination of the excavation diameter and grouting range of the test site. While verifying that the test site can achieve imaging testing, it also proved that the distance between the electrode plane and the excavation depth can be further predicted by the average value of the imaging field. This has certain guiding significance for engineering to determine the three-dimensional spatial distance between the electrode and the hole, as well as the adjustment of the borehole and the spatial distance adjustment of the electrode and hole scale range.

[0100] Indoor tracer material grouting simulation

[0101] Through the aforementioned indoor testing platform, indoor tomographic imaging grouting reinforcement simulation experiments were conducted, verifying the significant advantages of the tracer material compared to ordinary cement-based grouting materials. The tracer grout exhibits tracer stability, enabling full-cycle monitoring of the grouting reinforcement process. After solidification, its superior electrical properties, compared to ordinary grouts, still meet imaging requirements. This provides an economical, environmentally friendly, safe, and stable tracer material option for determining the grouting reinforcement range and evaluating grouting effects in grouting reinforcement projects. Finally, the significant advantages of the tracer material compared to ordinary materials are listed below:

[0102] Table 1 Comparison of tracer materials and ordinary grouting materials

[0103] characteristic tracer slurry ordinary slurry resistivity difference Graphite forms a continuously conductive network, enabling the resistivity of the jet grouting pile to be as low as 10² Ω·cm during the monitoring period, which is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than the surrounding strata. The column-soil interface is highly sensitive to ERT detection, and the diameter and diffusion plume can be distinguished in real time. Resistivity increases rapidly with age, reaching levels close to those of the soil within the tested age period, resulting in insufficient contrast and blurred boundaries. Signal-to-noise ratio / resolution Inversion stability, reduced ghosting, and real-time resolution of diameter diffusion Poor electrical properties, non-unique solution inversion, and high noise levels.
