Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rock mass engineering safety technology in cold regions, and in particular to a method for assessing the risk of freeze-thaw damage to rock mass fissures based on surface temperature. Background Technology
[0002] Rock mass engineering projects such as tunnels, slopes, railways, and highways are widely distributed in high-altitude and cold regions. Under low-temperature conditions, water in rock fissures undergoes a water-to-ice phase transition during freeze-thaw cycles. Under the constraint of fissures, this generates frost heave forces, which in turn lead to fissure propagation, loosening of the rock mass structure, and deterioration of mechanical strength, seriously affecting the long-term stability and durability of engineering structures. In particular, under frequent freeze-thaw cycles, the repeated phase transitions of fissure water will cause cumulative damage to the rock mass structure, potentially inducing engineering defects such as slope slippage and tunnel lining cracking.
[0003] Currently, assessment methods for the risk of freeze-thaw damage to rock masses in cold regions largely rely on local monitoring or empirical judgment, lacking a quantitative and systematic evaluation framework that integrates multi-source information such as ambient temperature, rock mass parameters, and fracture conditions. Existing technologies struggle to accurately predict the risk of frost heave cracking based on readily available parameters such as surface temperature, lack unified quantitative indicators to support graded prevention and control of engineering risks, and especially lack quantitative assessment models that integrate environmental factors and material parameters for unified analysis. Consequently, assessment results fail to fully reflect the actual freeze-thaw damage risk. Summary of the Invention

Standard fractures were prefabricated on the samples from the target rock mass. After vacuum saturation with water, the samples were placed in a -20℃ low-temperature chamber for 3-4 hours to simulate the low-temperature saturation conditions on-site, resulting in prefabricated water-saturated rock samples. Three-point bending tests were performed on the prefabricated water-saturated rock samples, load-crack tip strain curves were collected, outliers were removed, and the average effective maximum load was taken to calculate the type I fracture toughness of the rock mass. :

[0069] The technical solution of the invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0070] Example
[0071] This invention provides a method for assessing the risk of freeze-thaw damage to rock mass fissures based on surface temperature, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0072] S1 is based on an unmanned aerial vehicle platform equipped with multi-source sensors to collect data on the target area.
[0073] In this embodiment, the sensor configuration on the UAV platform includes an oblique photography camera and a thermal infrared imager. Key parameters for UAV aerial surveying are set as follows: flight altitude 80-150 meters, flight speed 8-16 meters per second, and lateral and lateral overlap of no less than 75%, ensuring that the ground resolution of both visible light and thermal infrared images reaches approximately 2 centimeters per pixel. The flight altitude and lateral overlap are configured based on the requirement that the ground resolution is no greater than 10 centimeters. The oblique photography camera has an effective pixel count of no less than 20 million and supports five-view or equivalent multi-view imaging.
[0074] The data collection includes:
[0075] (1) Obtain the geometric parameters of rock mass fractures.
[0076] The oblique photography camera acquires raw images (visible light images) of the target area. Image recognition algorithms automatically process these raw images to extract the location, length, width, dip angle, and spatial distribution characteristics of rock mass fissures. The rock mass fissures are then simplified as follows: Figure 2 The ideal elliptical crack shown is given, where the major axis of the crack is... The minor axis is The height is , << , These are the geometric parameters of the crack.
[0077] (2) Obtaining surface temperature With fissure moisture conditions .
[0078] The thermal infrared imager operates in the 8-14μm band, has an equivalent temperature difference noise value of no more than 50mK@25℃, a temperature measurement range of -20-150℃, and outputs a thermal infrared image with brightness temperature data.
[0079] To accurately obtain the daily minimum surface temperature used for determining effective freeze-thaw cycles Daily maximum surface temperature and daily temperature difference A set time period was planned for thermal infrared data acquisition. Precise timestamps were recorded simultaneously with the acquisition of thermal infrared images during this period to facilitate subsequent calculations of temperature extremes and daily temperature differences, ensuring time alignment. The set time periods were: 04:00 to 06:00 and 13:00 to 15:00 local time. While acquiring visible light thermal infrared images of the target area at different time periods, visible light images of the target area were also acquired. Masks for vegetation, shadows, and highly reflective areas were generated through image segmentation, and these non-target pixels were removed to obtain effective areas containing only bare rock pixels. Based on these effective areas, radiometric calibration was performed on the brightness temperature data carried by the thermal infrared images containing only bare rock pixels, and emissivity correction was applied according to the effective surface type. This resulted in the inversion of a high-precision surface temperature field, allowing the acquisition of surface temperatures for each time period. Among them, the surface temperature from 04:00 to 06:00 The lowest surface temperature of the day Surface temperature from 13:00 to 15:00 The highest surface temperature of the day Calculate the daily temperature range : .
[0080] (3) Obtaining the conditions for fissure moisture .
[0081] Thermal infrared images of the target area were acquired by the thermal infrared imager half an hour before and after 18:00. Low-temperature patches were extracted by local statistics or by setting percentile thresholds. Based on this, frequency domain / time domain reflectance (FDR / TDR) moisture content sensors were layered and buried at the center of the low-temperature patches and along their normal direction. Simultaneously, control monitoring points were set up within patches of the same lithology exhibiting dry characteristics to characterize the moisture content level and temperature response characteristics under dry background conditions, serving as a benchmark for comparative analysis of high-moisture patches. The moisture content sensors acquired moisture content data for low-temperature patches and dry characteristic patches at a sampling frequency of once every 6 hours. The acquired moisture content data from the control monitoring points were used to provide reference values for moisture content under dry background conditions to determine whether low-temperature patches were high-moisture patches. The moisture content data of high-moisture patches acquired by the moisture content sensors represented fracture moisture conditions. .

[0083] S21. Based on the geometric parameters obtained in S1, an analytical model of crack frost heave force considering constraint pressure correction is constructed. .
[0084] Make the following assumptions: the rock matrix and fissures are initially saturated with water, there is no external load, no salinity, the environment is closed and the temperature is uniform, there is no water migration, the friction between ice and fissures is ignored, the frost heave force is uniformly distributed, and both ice and rock are homogeneous isotropic elastic bodies.

[0092] The lithology-related empirical constants and The value of is determined based on the following experiments:
[0093] For the sandstone sample with visible fractures in this embodiment, the unfrozen water content as a function of temperature was measured using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology. And using unfrozen water content The empirical formula is fitted to obtain the empirical constants. and The value of . In this embodiment, the fitting result is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the goodness of fit reaches 0.93, proving the applicability of the formula. Based on this, the empirical constant... Set to 53.946, an empirical constant. The value was set to -0.581. For other types of rock samples, the same method was used to apply the empirical constant. and The value of .
[0094] To obtain the actual freezing temperature, pressure correction is applied. Relative to frost heave instantaneous rate of change Taking the reciprocal of the Clapeyron equation, its expression is:
[0095] ,

[0097] In this embodiment, , , ,at this time K / Pa (or -0.074℃ / MPa) indicates that for every 1 MPa increase in pressure, the freezing temperature of water decreases by approximately [amount missing]. .
[0098] Considering frost heave For the actual freezing temperature The effects include:
[0099] ,
[0100] in, This is the initial freezing temperature under standard atmospheric pressure.

[0111] .
[0112] To verify the analytical model of frost heave force in cracks proposed in this invention To ensure accuracy and applicability, two groups of rock samples, A and B, with different geometric parameters, were selected as comparison objects for frost heave force testing. The crack size and lithology-related empirical constants of each group of samples were determined. , As shown in Table 1.
[0113] Table 1
[0114]
[0115] During the experiment, the system collected data on the frost heave force-temperature change of each group of samples during the cooling process, and compared and analyzed the measured data with the prediction results of the theoretical model. The comparison results are as follows: Figures 4-8 As shown in the figure, the model prediction curve and the measured data curve generally match the trend of change throughout the temperature range; especially in the middle and late stages of freezing, their trends are almost identical, indicating that the model can effectively reflect the development law of frost heave caused by fissure water freezing under low temperature conditions. Further comparison shows that in the initial freezing stage, the model prediction value is slightly higher than the measured value. This is because at this time, a complete ice plug structure has not yet formed inside the fissure, and the frost heave force is insufficient, resulting in the measured value being lower than the theoretical prediction value.
[0116] S3, determine the type I fracture toughness and critical freeze-thaw cycle count of the target rock mass, and determine the critical crack initiation temperature. The specific steps are as follows:
[0117] S31, Calculate the Type I fracture toughness of the rock mass .
[0118] Through on-site geological surveys and drilling, the target rock mass type was identified and samples were taken. In this embodiment, the target rock mass was processed into specimens with dimensions of 24mm×80mm×50mm in the laboratory, and standard fractures (20mm×3mm±0.2mm) were prefabricated. After vacuum saturation with water, the specimens were placed in a -20℃ low-temperature chamber for 3-4 hours to simulate the low-temperature saturation conditions in the field, thus obtaining prefabricated water-saturated rock specimens. Three-point bending tests were performed on the prefabricated water-saturated rock specimens, load-crack tip strain curves were collected, outliers were removed, and the average effective maximum load was taken. The Type I fracture toughness of the rock mass was calculated according to the formula in ASTM E399 standard. :

[0123] Substitute the measured parameters into The calculation formula is used to obtain the Type I fracture toughness of the target rock mass (such as frozen saturated red sandstone). .
[0124] S32, based on the stress intensity factor Determine the critical crack initiation temperature .
[0125] The critical mechanical condition for the unstable propagation (cracking) of rock mass fractures is the stress intensity factor at the crack tip. Reaching or exceeding the Type I fracture toughness of the rock material itself ,Right now: Under critical conditions (i.e., when the crack is in a state of limit equilibrium on the verge of cracking), ,at this time, To obtain information about the ambient temperature The equation:
[0126]
[0127] Solving this equation will yield the unique unknown quantity. The value of this value is the critical crack initiation temperature of the rock mass. This temperature value is the core threshold for subsequent freeze-thaw risk assessment based on surface temperature monitoring data.
[0128] S33, determine the critical number of freeze-thaw cycles.
[0129] To quantitatively characterize the critical state of rock mass fracture propagation under freeze-thaw cycles, saturated rock samples with pre-fabricated standard fractures were placed in a freeze-thaw cycle test chamber ranging from -20℃ (4h) to +15℃ (2h) to simulate diurnal fluctuations in cold regions. The fracture propagation was monitored using resistance strain gauges attached to both sides of the fracture, and a fracture propagation-freeze-thaw cycle count curve was plotted. In the initial stage, the ice expansion force and microcrack growth caused by the freeze-thaw cycle were small, and the displacement was slow. When the freeze-thaw damage accumulated to a critical level, the fracture began to propagate rapidly. The point where the second derivative of the fracture propagation-freeze-thaw cycle count curve was zero was taken as the turning point from the slow stage to the rapid stage of fracture propagation, which is the critical point of rock mass fracture freeze-thaw propagation. Its physical meaning is the moment when the accumulated freeze-thaw damage reached a critical level. Based on this, the number of freeze-thaw cycles corresponding to the accelerated fracture propagation was determined, which is the critical number of freeze-thaw cycles for rock mass fractures. .
[0130] In this embodiment, three resistance strain gauges (accuracy 0.1μm) are attached to each side of the crack.
