Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of improving the stability of soil slopes, and particularly relates to a method for improving saline soil and synergistically reinforcing a slope in a seasonal freezing region based on microbial mineralization and layered grouting. BACKGROUND

[0002] High-salt saline soil is widely distributed in the coastal areas of North China and the northwest region of China. The salt content of the saline soil is usually as high as 1% to 25%. Under the combined action of temperature fluctuation of-20℃ to 40℃ and water content change of 10% to 30%, the soil is prone to salt crystallization-dissolution cycle, which leads to a volume expansion and contraction rate of more than 15%, causing uneven settlement of the foundation. Such deformation directly causes road subgrade cracking with a crack width of 5 to 10 cm, bridge pier tilting with a maximum inclination of more than 3%, and other engineering disasters. The freeze-thaw cycle in winter, with a freeze-thaw ratio of more than 0.8, further aggravates the deterioration of the soil structure, increases the pore ratio by 0.2 to 0.4, and reduces the shear strength by 40% to 60%, forming a vicious cycle of geological disaster chain.

[0003] At present, the reinforcement technology for saline soil slopes mainly has three major bottlenecks. Firstly, chemical grouting methods (such as cement slurry and polyurethane) are prone to replacement reactions with sodium salts in high-salt environments. The effective diffusion radius of the slurry is less than 60% of the design value (actual measurement data show that it is only 0.8 to 1.2 m), which cannot penetrate more than 1.5 m thick saline soil layer, resulting in weakly cemented deep soil. Secondly, the traditional grouting body is salt-analyzed (the amount of NS2SO4 crystal precipitation is more than 12%) under dry-wet cycles, causing the dissolution rate of the cemented body to exceed 25%, and the strength decay rate to reach 50% within three years. Thirdly, the excessive use of chemical additives leads to excessive Cr6+ and Ss3+ in groundwater, causing surrounding vegetation to wither and die and groundwater pollution.

[0004] Therefore, in recent years, the microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation technology has shown revolutionary potential in the field of geotechnical engineering reinforcement due to its characteristics of "biological energy replacing mechanical energy and metabolic products replacing chemical reagents". Through the metabolic activity of urease-producing microorganisms such as Bacillus pasteurii, stable CSCO3 precipitates are formed to realize the cementation between soil particles. Compared with traditional grouting technology, this technology does not require large-scale mechanical disturbance and has ecological friendliness and long-term stability.

[0005] However, the existing grouting technology still has significant limitations: existing researches focus on the reinforcement of dry sandy soil or unsaturated soil body, and there is no matching microbial group for the saline soil slope in the seasonal frozen region, and the microbial liquid is easily inhibited by salt during grouting, resulting in insufficient slurry diffusion radius; if the conventional grouting process is used, the following problems exist: the deep soil body is in a weakly cemented state for a long time, which is difficult to meet the engineering requirements; the grouting pressure is difficult to accurately control, which often causes the problem of surface slurry channeling, seriously affecting the deep soil reinforcement effect.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a solution. SUMMARY

[0045] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0046] (1) The present application uses microorganisms to reinforce and improve saline soil slopes without chemical pollution, and the damage to the environment by microbial induction of calcium carbonate precipitation is small. The generated calcium carbonate precipitation can be used as a cementing way between soil particles, increase the cohesion of the soil body, reduce the looseness of the soil body and enhance the shear strength of the soil body, and can adjust the growth mode of plant roots to help the soil body resist the damage caused by frost heaving and thawing, and has good long-term stability.

[0047] (2) According to the physicochemical properties of saline soil in seasonal frozen region, the ratio and dosage of bacillus pasteurii and cementing liquid are adjusted, and the surface is treated by "surface cementing shell construction", "middle layer mineralization strengthening" and "deep layer structure consolidation". After the surface treatment, a calcium carbonate solidification layer is formed, which can improve the strength of the soil and reduce the downward permeability of the soil. It can effectively reduce the downward infiltration of rainwater and other water, and reduce the salt expansion and frost heaving phenomenon. The segmented and layered grouting can ensure that the slurry has enough time to penetrate into the soil in each treatment stage, so that the calcium carbonate precipitated by the microbial mineralization reaction is evenly distributed in each layer of soil, and the solidification layer generated by the layered generation can effectively prevent the downward infiltration of water, reducing the salt expansion and frost heaving effect of saline soil due to water absorption. And through the peristaltic pump, the "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling" method is used to control the grouting pressure of the slurry in the soil sample, which can ensure that the slurry can be fully injected, and also ensure that the injected slurry is not enough to break through the top solidification when layered injection; completely solve the top grouting problem of traditional grouting process.

[0048] (3) The "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling" is used to control the pressure gradient, realize the construction of the shell layer by stages, realize the uniform reinforcement of the deep soil, completely solve the top grouting problem of traditional grouting process, and inhibit the salt migration under freeze-thaw cycle; and the grouting pressure is adjusted according to the depth, that is, the speed of grouting is accelerated, the deeper the stratum, the greater the pressure, and the stability of the grouting effect can be ensured through the gradient control of pressure.

[0049] (4) According to the method, the grouting pipe is inserted into the soil vertically to the surface of the saline soil slope, the distance between each grouting pipe is 500 mm, the diameter of the sleeve is set according to the depth of the soil sample, the diameter of the outermost circle is d=x / 10+10, unit: mm, wherein x is the depth of the soil sample, unit: cm, d is rounded to the nearest ten, and 10 is the radius of the innermost circle. The length of each section of the sleeve grouting pipe is 100 cm, the pipe wall of the buried part of the soil is provided with grouting holes with a diameter of 5 mm every 50 cm, the grouting holes are arranged in four directions along the pipe wall, the bottom of the grouting pipe is sealed, a layer of mesh cloth is wrapped outside the outer wall of the grouting pipe to prevent the soil from entering the grouting pipe and causing blockage, and a connector is arranged on the upper part of the grouting pipe and connected with the peristaltic pump to control the flow rate of the slurry in the soil sample. The grouting pipe according to the method is more suitable for the construction of saline soil in seasonal frozen region, effectively solidifies the soil near the potential sliding surface, and increases the feasibility of practical engineering application.

[0050] (5) Verification of biological improvement of saline soil in seasonal frozen region, wherein the freeze-thaw cycle and standard compression test ensure that the most suitable bacteria liquid and cementing liquid for local saline soil in seasonal frozen region can be selected, and the stability of the reinforcement effect is ensured.

[0051] (6) Spraying the mixed solution of the verified proportion of the bacillus pasteurii liquid and the cementing liquid on the surface of the saline soil slope in the seasonal frozen region; the saline soil slope in the seasonal frozen region can be divided into multiple areas, and the grouting in other areas can be carried out during the maintenance period of the layered grouting, so that the construction time is saved under the condition of ensuring the effect of the solidified soil.

[0052] (7) The method has high operation efficiency and strong controllability, is suitable for the special situation of the saline soil in the seasonal frozen region, can solve the characteristics of repeated freezing and thawing, high salt content, salt expansion and frost heaving of the saline soil in the seasonal frozen region, and has stronger pertinence.

[0053] (8) The method provides the calculation formula of the compression coefficient and the compression index, so that the reinforcement effect of the improved saline soil in the seasonal frozen region can be more reflected, and the suitable inoculation ratio of the bacillus pasteurii liquid, the volume ratio of the bacillus pasteurii and the cementing liquid and the concentration of the cementing liquid can be more efficiently screened out.

[0084] Standard freeze-thaw compression test

[0085] The freeze-thaw cycle parameters are set as follows: freezing at -20 ℃ for 12 h and thawing at room temperature for 12 h as one freeze-thaw cycle, and the number of freeze-thaw cycles is set to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 to simulate the freeze-thaw conditions under natural conditions;

[0086] The compression test operation includes the following steps:

[0087] Put filter paper on both sides of the sample, then put two water-permeable plates on the filter paper, and then fix them on the overlapping saturator; Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the top of the superimposed saturator is a pressurized upper cover and water-permeable stone, and the middle of the base is provided with a cavity for placing soil samples, the inside of the cavity is provided with water-permeable stone, rigid guard ring and ring knife; the soil sample is placed into the cavity of the superimposed saturator, and the pressurized upper cover is closed; the saturator with the sample is placed into a vacuum cylinder, the cylinder cover is covered, and vaseline is applied to the joint to prevent air leakage;

[0088] The air extractor is started, and when the value of the vacuum gauge approaches-100 kPa, the air extraction is continued for one hour, and then water is slowly injected into the vacuum cylinder through the water pipe, and the pipe clamp is adjusted at all times during the water injection process to ensure that the value of the vacuum gauge is basically unchanged;

[0089] When the superimposed saturator is completely submerged in water, the air extraction and the injection of saturated liquid are stopped, the pipe clamp is opened to allow air to enter the vacuum cylinder, and the soil sample is fully saturated after being placed for 12 hours, and the saturated liquid is prepared according to the salt concentration of the sample pore liquid, and in this sample, a solution of 27.8 g / L of sodium chloride and 9.4 g / L of sodium sulfate is used as the saturated liquid;

[0090] After the saturated sample is placed in the consolidation container and a pressure of 50 kPa is applied, the saturated liquid is immediately injected into the water tank, and then the standard compression test is carried out according to the pressure gradient setting of 50 kPa, 100 kPa, 200 kPa and 400 kPa.

[0091] The initial void ratio of the sample is calculated according to formula (1), the void ratio after consolidation under each level of pressure is calculated according to formula (2), the compression coefficient within a certain level of pressure is calculated according to formula (3), and the compression index is calculated according to formula (4).

[0098]

[0099] wherein, represents the compression index.

[0100] Table 4, standard freeze-thaw compression test results

[0101]

[0102] By analyzing Table 4, it can be seen that the soil sample pore ratio of the soil sample modified by Bacillus pasteurii decreases, because the calcium carbonate produced by the modification of Bacillus pasteurii fills the pores in the original soil sample, and the salt in the soil sample increases the salt concentration of the pore liquid, further compressing the double electric layer between the soil particles, so that the soil pore ratio decreases, and the soil pore ratio decreases under the combined action of the two; the soil sample pore ratio of the soil sample modified by Bacillus pasteurii also decreases under different freeze-thaw cycle times, but the decrease is smaller than that without freeze-thaw cycle; this is because Bacillus pasteurii consumes water in the soil sample, and part of the salt cannot form ice salt and mirabilite when frozen, but rather the salt is precipitated, which strengthens the soil particle structure and reduces the compressibility.

[0103] The saline soil sample in the seasonal frozen region is evenly placed in multiple inoculation pots; Bacillus pasteurii bacterial liquid is added to the inoculation pots in a 1% to 3% inoculation ratio, stirred and mixed, then 1 to 2 times the volume of cementing liquid relative to the Bacillus pasteurii bacterial liquid is added, the concentration of the cementing liquid is 1 to 1.75 mol / L, and the mixture is stirred and mixed evenly to obtain multiple improved saline soil samples in the seasonal frozen region; the multiple seasonal frozen region saline soil samples after stirring are placed in molds for soil curing; the cured multiple improved seasonal frozen region saline soil samples are subjected to compression tests, and the compression performance of the original soil is compared; the value of the inoculation ratio of the Bacillus pasteurii bacterial liquid, the value of the volume ratio of the cementing liquid relative to the Bacillus pasteurii bacterial liquid, and the value of the concentration of the cementing liquid suitable for the seasonal frozen region saline soil are determined.

[0104] The inoculation of Bacillus pasteurii liquid in the step of changing saline soil is divided into 1%, 2%, and 3% according to the inoculation ratio of Bacillus pasteurii liquid, the volume ratio of the liquid to the cementing liquid is divided into 1:1, 1:1.5, and 1:2, the concentration of the cementing liquid is divided into 1 mol / L, 1.5 mol / L, and 1.75 mol / L; a plurality of biological method improved saline soil samples in the seasonal frozen region are formed as a control group; the standard freeze-thaw compression test is also conducted on the control group, and the test results are compared, so as to screen the suitable Bacillus pasteurii liquid and the cementing liquid ratio.

[0105] The optimal liquid inoculation ratio, cementing liquid ratio, and volume ratio are determined.

[0106] Example 3

[0107] In order to find the most suitable Bacillus pasteurii liquid inoculation amount and the volume and concentration of the cementing liquid required by the saline soil in the seasonal frozen region, the following steps are also conducted:

[0108] The activity detection test under different inoculation ratios is set, the bacterial concentration (OD600 value) and urease activity of Bacillus pasteurii are measured under the inoculation ratios of 1%, 2%, and 3%; it can be known from FIG. 2 that the culture time of Bacillus pasteurii liquid is optimal at 20-50 hours; it can be known from FIG. 3 that when the inoculation ratio is 3%, the concentration of the bacteria and the urease activity are the highest, so the inoculation ratio of 3% is selected; under the same environment, the platform stable period of the urease activity is shorter than that of the liquid concentration, and the urease activity decreases faster, which may be because the urease is a macromolecular protein substance, a large amount of toxic substances produced by the bacteria in the early stage greatly change the environment of the liquid, the protein structure is more easily destroyed, and thus the urease activity rapidly decreases after reaching the maximum value.

[0109] In order to explore the most suitable cementing liquid concentration and the volume ratio of the liquid to the cementing liquid, the control test of different cementing liquid concentrations and different volume ratios of the liquid to the cementing liquid is set, the calcium carbonate content in the soil is detected by using the acid-base neutralization titration method after the test is completed, and the experimental group setting and the calcium carbonate content in the soil are shown in Table 5.

[0110] Table 5: Reaction liquid mixing ratio test setting and calcium carbonate content in soil

[0111]

[0112] As can be seen from Table 5, when the concentration of the cementing fluid changes from 1 mol / L to 1.5 mol / L, the calcium carbonate content in the sample increases significantly, at this time the microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation reaction is more sufficient; while increasing from 1.5 mol / L to 1.75 mol / L, the calcium carbonate content in the sample decreases, because when the concentration of the cementing fluid is higher, it will inhibit the activity of urease, which is the most important substance in the microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation reaction, and the activity is inhibited, which leads to the decrease of the rate of urea hydrolysis, and cannot provide enough carbonate ions, thereby affecting the content of calcium carbonate precipitation; By comparing the calcium carbonate content produced by different ratios of bacteria liquid and cementing fluid, it can be found that when the volume ratio of bacteria liquid to cementing fluid is 1:2, the content of calcium carbonate precipitation produced is the most; Therefore, the calcium ion concentration of the cementing fluid selected in this test is 1.5 mol / L, and the volume ratio of bacteria liquid to cementing fluid is 1:2.

[0113] Example 4

[0114] A plurality of sleeve grouting pipes are arranged at corresponding positions in the saline soil slope soil sample in the seasonal frozen region, the grouting pipes are inserted into the soil vertically to the surface of the saline soil slope, the depth is 220 cm, the grouting pipe is composed of 3 sleeves, the length of each sleeve of the sleeve grouting pipe is 100 cm, the diameter of the first sleeve is 40 mm, the diameter of the second sleeve is 30 mm; the diameter of the third sleeve is 20 mm; the spacing between each grouting pipe is 500 mm, the pipe wall of the soil body part of the grouting pipe is provided with a grouting hole with a diameter of 5 mm every 50 cm, the grouting holes are uniformly arranged along the pipe wall, the bottom of the grouting pipe is sealed, a layer of mesh cloth is wrapped outside the outer wall of the grouting pipe to prevent the soil from entering the grouting pipe and causing blockage, a connector is arranged on the upper part of the grouting pipe and connected with a peristaltic pump, the flow rate of the slurry injected into the soil sample is controlled by the peristaltic pump; as shown in Figure 5 ;

[0115] A mixed solution of bacteria liquid and cementing fluid is sprayed on the surface of the saline soil slope soil body in the seasonal frozen region, the mass ratio of the bacteria liquid to the cementing fluid is 1:2, the next spraying is carried out after 2 hours of interval after the completion of the first spraying, and the spraying is carried out three times, after the completion of the spraying, a plastic film is used for covering and curing, and the curing time is 24 hours; after the surface treatment is completed, a calcium carbonate solidified layer is formed, the soil body strength is improved, and the soil body permeability downward is reduced, which can effectively reduce the downward penetration of rainwater and the like, and reduce the salt heaving and frost heaving phenomena.

[0116] At the same time, the grouting pressure is controlled according to the "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling formula", and the grouting is carried out in layers in the order of "surface cementing shell construction", "middle layer mineralization strengthening" and "deep layer structure consolidation".

[0117] The first stage of grouting treatment is performed after the surface of the soil body is solidified; in order to prevent the rapid formation of calcium carbonate precipitate at the grouting hole when the mixed solution is injected, thereby causing the grouting hole to be blocked, the bacteria solution verified in step S5 is injected separately from the cementing solution; the bacteria solution is first injected through the grouting pipe, and then the cementing solution is immediately injected; and the grouting pressure of the slurry in the soil sample is controlled by the peristaltic pump in a "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling" manner.

[0118] Example 5

[0119] If the depth of the grouting pipe embedded in the slope soil body is 120 cm, 220 cm and 320 cm respectively, the "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling formula" is as follows:

[0120]

[0121] wherein Pn represents the n-th layer grouting pressure (MPa); P0 represents the initial grouting pressure (MPa); λ represents the depth gain coefficient (0.05-0.2); hn represents the grouting depth (m); α represents the microbial activity coefficient (0.8-1.2); and qn represents the triaxial undrained shear strength of the soil body (MPa). n n u

[0122] The calculation results are as follows: when h1=1.2 m, P1=1.56 MPa; when h2=2.2 m, P2=1.85 MPa; and when h3=3.2 m, P3=2.06 MPa.

[0123] The first layer grouting pressure is set to 1.56 MPa, 20 L of Bacillus pasteurii bacteria solution is injected into each grouting pipe, 40 L of cementing solution is injected after the injection is completed, the grouting pressure of the slurry in the soil sample is controlled by the peristaltic pump in a "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling" manner, and the grouting is completed after 48 h of maintenance; since the surface of the soil body has been solidified to reduce the permeability of the soil body, the evaporation loss of the bacteria solution and the cementing solution in the soil body is greatly reduced, the microbial calcification precipitation reaction time in the soil body is effectively increased, and a dense cementing shell layer with a thickness of ≥2 cm is formed.

[0124] After the first stage of grouting treatment is completed, the second stage of grouting treatment is started, the sleeve is lowered by 100 cm, the grouting pressure is set to 1.85 MPa, 20 L of Bacillus pasteurii bacteria solution is injected into each grouting pipe, 40 L of cementing solution is injected after the injection is completed, the grouting pressure of the slurry in the soil sample is controlled by the peristaltic pump in a "graded grouting pressure-depth coupling" manner, and the grouting is completed after 48 h of maintenance.

[0125] ​​​After the second stage of grouting treatment is completed, the third stage of grouting treatment is started, the sleeve is continuously lowered by 100 cm, the grouting pressure is set to 2.06 MPa, 20 L of bacillus pasteurii liquid is injected into each grouting pipe, after the injection is completed, 40 L of cementing liquid is injected, the grouting pressure in the soil sample is controlled by using the "step grouting pressure-depth coupling" mode through the peristaltic pump, and after the grouting is completed, the curing is also maintained for 48 h.

[0126] A control test is set, the reinforcement effects of the ordinary grouting and the three depth layered grouting with h1 of 120 cm, h2 of 220 cm and h3 of 320 cm are compared, the ordinary grouting does not use a sectional grouting pipe, the injected slurry is a mixed liquid of bacillus pasteurii liquid and cementing liquid, the mass ratio of the bacillus pasteurii liquid to the cementing liquid is 1:2, and the surface is not pre-solidified, and the standard compression test is carried out on the sample in the laboratory.

[0127] As shown in Figure 6 , 7 , 8; in the three depths of the soil sample, the void ratio of the soil sample after the layered grouting reinforcement is smaller than that of the soil sample after the ordinary grouting, which indicates that the reinforcement of the layered grouting is better than that of the ordinary grouting for the saline soil slope; in the process of the ordinary grouting, the MICP reaction is started after the bacillus pasteurii liquid and the cementing liquid are mixed, which may cause the calcium carbonate precipitation to block the further injection of the slurry at the grouting hole, and the surface is not solidified, which may cause part of the slurry to evaporate after penetrating into the surface and be lost.

[0128] After the overall reinforcement of the slope is completed, the geological radar is arranged to scan the continuity of the grouting body, the grouting coverage is detected, and the secondary grouting reinforcement is carried out for the defect area.

[0129] In addition, the saline soil slope in the seasonal frozen region can be divided into multiple areas, and each area is constructed in stages; in this way, during the curing period of the layered grouting in one area, personnel and equipment can be dispatched to carry out grouting in other areas, and the construction time is also saved under the condition of ensuring the effect of the solidified soil body.
