Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of geotechnical tests, in particular to an indoor test device for measuring variable water head permeability coefficient. Background Art
[0002] The flow of water in the pores of rock and soil is called soil permeability. Permeability is an important engineering property of soil, which determines the strength and deformation of soil. Soil permeability can cause a series of stability problems of rock and soil, such as slope instability, slope deformation, debris flow, foundation deformation, and lava permeation collapse. Permeability coefficient is a basic indicator to measure the permeability characteristics of rock and soil, which indicates the difficulty of fluid passing through the pore skeleton. The indoor test device for measuring permeability coefficient is a common scientific test device in disciplines such as soil mechanics, hydrogeology, and engineering geology.
[0003] At present, there are many types of instruments and test methods for measuring the permeability coefficient k in the laboratory, but from the test principle, they can be roughly divided into two types: "constant head method" and "variable head method". The constant head method is suitable for measuring the permeability coefficient of coarse-grained soil with high permeability, while for fine-grained (silt and clay) soil, due to low permeability, the variable head test must be used when testing the permeability coefficient of the soil. The main component of the permeability container of the commonly used variable head test device is a ring knife with an inner diameter of 61.8mm and a height of 40mm, which has a small capacity. In fact, natural original soil is anisotropic and has a certain structure. Therefore, the permeability coefficient measured by the variable head permeability test of small-scale samples has a certain error compared with the natural original soil. In addition, for fine-grained clay soil, due to the slow infiltration of water, when conducting a permeability test, the traditional method of visually reading the water level change is used, and the reading error is large, resulting in inaccurate permeability coefficient of the tested sample, and manual measurement is time-consuming and laborious.
[0004] Chen Shihua et al. (Automatic reading test device for geotechnical variable water head permeability test CN106153523B) realizes automatic water replenishment of the variable water head permeability device by installing a water supply tee on the bottom plate and a solenoid valve connected to the lower end of the water supply pipe to form a water adding mechanism; the water head is automatically read through the reading mechanism connected to the water adding mechanism. However, there are two shortcomings in this device: 1. The preliminary debugging steps of the reading mechanism are relatively cumbersome; 2. The soil sample permeameter still uses the traditional ring knife container. Cheng Chen et al. (A soil sample variable water head permeability test device CN112697678A) changes the previous single-direction water inlet to an annular water inlet by opening a plurality of branch water inlet holes connecting the annular water inlet cavity and the water collection cavity on the inner wall of the water collection base. After the water enters the water collection cavity, it can evenly enter the test soil sample under the action of the water head pressure, thereby avoiding the penetration damage to the soil sample caused by the concentrated water flow, but the applicability to larger-scale soil samples is still not considered. He Gao et al. (A variable head multifunctional infiltration experimental device CN113640187A) realized the infiltration test of the original soil by adding a soil column inlay system and a rainfall simulation system, and realized the self-circulation of the test water by adding a water pump. However, the rainfall simulation device will bring additional scouring force to the soil column sample, change the soil structure, and cause a large error in the measured soil permeability coefficient. In addition, the equipment also has problems such as the large space occupied by the test device and the small capacity of the infiltration container.
[0005] In summary, most of the existing variable head permeability test devices are concentrated on small soil sample tests, and the data can only be read by visual inspection. The permeability coefficient calculated in this way has a certain error, and the moisture at different heights of the sample cannot be tested during the test. Utility Model Content
