Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of geotechnical engineering technology in cold regions, and in particular to a thermodynamic theoretical model based on the permeability coefficient of frozen soil. Background Technology
[0002] The frozen soil permeability coefficient is a crucial parameter characterizing the relationship between temperature and permeability in frozen soil. It is essential for estimating the properties of soil and rock masses in cold regions and forms the basis for analyzing soil moisture transport, solute migration, and water retention in these areas. The frozen soil permeability coefficient has a wide range of applications in both engineering and agriculture. Directly measuring the frozen soil permeability coefficient is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive; therefore, obtaining it indirectly is a more economical and efficient method. Existing indirect methods are often divided into empirical fitting models and physical concept models. However, empirical fitting models based on experimental data lack sufficient physical meaning, and while physical concept models have sufficient physical meaning, their accuracy is often less than ideal. This can be attributed to the overly idealistic assumptions made by these models regarding the hindering effect of the ice phase, often considering only the hindering factor while neglecting the formation mechanism of the ice phase in the soil system. Therefore, they are insufficient to accurately describe the relationship between temperature and frozen soil permeability coefficient in real soil conditions.
[0003] In summary, given the urgent needs of research development and engineering construction, there is a pressing need to propose a freezing permeability coefficient model with sufficient physical meaning and that can consider the obstruction of the ice phase based on thermodynamics to fill the theoretical gap. In-depth research on the relationship between soil freezing permeability coefficient and temperature will help to further establish a high-precision model and provide a more comprehensive theoretical basis for numerical calculations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the freezing permeability coefficient by applying thermodynamic theory to consider the ice phase barrier effect in complex soil environments.
[0005] To address the above problems, the soil freezing permeability coefficient prediction method based on thermodynamic principles and considering ice phase resistance, as described in this invention, includes the following steps:
[0006] (1) Perform soil thermodynamic calculations to obtain the ice phase volume;
[0007] (2) Calculate the hydraulic radius of the frozen soil to obtain the hydraulic radius considering the obstruction of the ice phase;
[0008] (3) The freezing permeability coefficient of the soil sample at different temperatures was calculated.
[0009] The Kozeny-Carman equation (KC equation) is commonly used to calculate the permeability coefficient of positively heated soils. The KC equation was first proposed by Kozeny and further developed by Carman as follows:
[0010] (1)
[0011] Where k (m / s) is the freezing permeability coefficient; τ is the tortuosity (dimensionless). ; It is a dimensionless shape constant; e(m) 3 / m 3 SA(m) is the void ratio. 2 / kg) is the specific surface area of the soil; (Pa·s) is the dynamic viscosity of water. The density of water (kg / m³) 3 );
[0012] In the pores of positively heated soil, the flow and infiltration of water can be described by the average hydraulic radius, defined as:
[0013] (2)
[0014] in, (m 2 () is the cross section of the soil through which the flow occurs; (m) is the wetted perimeter; (m) is the actual flow channel length in the soil; (m 3 The total volume of the flow channel can be considered as the total volume of the pores. (m 2 The total surface area of the flow channel can be considered as the surface area of soil particles.
[0015] There is a correlation between the average hydraulic radius and the soil void ratio. The void ratio, expressed by the average hydraulic radius, is:
[0016] (3)
[0017] in, (m 3 () represents the volume of soil particles; (kg) represents soil mass; (kg / m 3 ) is the particle density of the soil;
[0018] Substituting equation (3) into equation (1), we obtain the relationship between the hydraulic radius and the freezing permeability as follows:

[0021] In a frozen state, the formation of ice phase hinders the flow of pore water in the soil, reducing the seepage channels in the pores. The hydraulic radius of the frozen soil is then corrected as follows:

[0032] in, (m) represents the particle size; For particles smaller than The j-th cumulative quality score; A, B, and C are fitting parameters;
[0033] Based on particle size distribution, each particle size (m) corresponds to a unit cell. The equivalent pore length of the particle stack in each unit cell is determined by the pore complexity. The effect of this is that the change in pore length is uniformly reflected in each particle, and the relationship between the changes is expressed as follows:
