Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of moisture content control in earth-rock dam construction, specifically relating to a method for controlling the spraying flow rate of a water truck with the optimal moisture content of the soil and rock as the target. Background Technology

[0002] During the construction of earth-rock dams, the compaction quality of the fill material directly affects the overall stability and safety of the dam body, and the moisture content of the fill material is a key parameter affecting the compaction quality. Studies have shown that compaction at near-optimal moisture content can effectively improve the compaction quality of the soil and rock materials, reduce the permeability coefficient, and enhance shear strength; conversely, a moisture content deviating from the optimal range can easily lead to uneven compaction, localized weak interlayers, and seepage risks, affecting the long-term stability of the dam body.

[0003] Currently, construction sites primarily rely on water trucks to humidify the fill surface. However, the amount and uniformity of water sprayed are largely controlled by drivers based on experience, lacking scientific basis. Due to differences in operating habits, vehicle speed, and driving routes, the moisture content in the same area often fluctuates significantly. Existing methods mostly employ "quantitative water addition" or "timed watering" modes, failing to comprehensively consider the coupling effect between the initial moisture content of the soil, spraying intensity, and vehicle speed. This leads to uncertain humidification effects, and construction quality control depends on manual experience, resulting in a low level of precision. Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a water truck spraying flow control method targeting the optimal moisture content of the soil and rock materials. By establishing a coupled model of water volume, vehicle speed, and moisture content, the water truck spraying flow can be dynamically adjusted to achieve precise control of the moisture content of the fill material, thereby improving the level of construction automation and the consistency of dam compaction quality.
