TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ballastless track subgrade engineering, and particularly relates to a method for determining the diffusion distance of split grouting considering the coupling of slurry and soil and the time-varying viscosity. BACKGROUND
[0002] Slurry and mud spewing is one of the common diseases of ballastless track subgrade, and at the present stage, it is mainly repaired by grouting. This method has been widely used in tunnel treatment, foundation reinforcement and other engineering. In order to ensure the effect of grouting reinforcement, a reasonable grouting interval should be selected, which relies on correct grouting theory guidance. According to the state of soil and the degree of slurry and mud spewing, the diffusion mode of slurry in soil can be roughly divided into penetration and splitting. In the coarse-grained soil with developed pore, penetration grouting is generally dominant, and in the dense or fine-grained soil with good gradation, splitting grouting is generally dominant. At the present stage, the research on penetration grouting is relatively sufficient, but the diffusion behavior of splitting grouting still needs to be studied. Figure 1 Splitting grouting is the process of splitting soil by slurry and continuing to expand forward. The principle is that after the soil is hydraulically split by applying grouting pressure, the slurry pushes the crack to open rapidly to form a grouting crack. With the gradual injection of slurry, a network of slurry veins is formed in the soil, and the soil is squeezed, thereby improving the strength and stiffness of the soil. There are the following difficulties in determining the diffusion distance of slurry in the research: (1) The soil deforms outward under the action of grouting pressure, resulting in changes in the width of the splitting channel along the slurry vein, which in turn affects the distribution of slurry pressure, that is, there is a significant slurry-soil coupling effect in the process of slurry diffusion. (2) The slurry is generally a nonlinear non-Newtonian fluid in actual grouting, and the calculation results are prone to deviation. (3) The viscosity changes with time during the splitting grouting diffusion process, and it cannot diffuse outward indefinitely.
[0003] In summary, the existing splitting grouting theory cannot effectively solve the above problems, and it is difficult to accurately determine the diffusion distance of slurry in the splitting grouting of ballastless track subgrade, which restricts the precise application of grouting repair technology in the treatment of slurry and mud spewing disease of ballastless track subgrade. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a method for determining the diffusion distance of splitting grouting which can comprehensively consider the slurry-soil coupling effect, the nonlinear fluid characteristics of slurry and the time-varying viscosity.
