Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of research on soil anti-seepage stability, and particularly relates to a test device for research on soil anti-seepage stability. Background Art

[0002] During the water-blocking process of a dike, water flow will flow from the high-water-level side along the pores in the soil to the low-water-level side; when the flow velocity of the seepage water is too large, the fine particles filled in the pores of the soil skeleton will be carried away by the seepage water and form a concentrated seepage channel. This phenomenon is called piping, which is the most common form of seepage failure in hydraulic engineering; after piping occurs in the dike, the sediment inside the dike foundation continuously gushes out at the piping overflow point, and the diameter of the piping will become larger and larger, resulting in uneven settlement of the dike foundation and ultimately possibly leading to the collapse of the dike. Therefore, improving the permeability stability of soil particles during the dike design process and construction process to prevent piping from occurring is of great significance for ensuring the safety of the dike.

[0003] Measures to strengthen the seepage stability of the dike mainly include three aspects: (1) increasing the dike cross-section to extend the seepage path and indirectly reducing the seepage gradient and seepage velocity; (2) using a filter layer to control the loss of soil particles; (3) enhancing the anti-seepage stability of the soil. The existing design concepts and engineering measures mainly focus on the first two aspects, while less attention is paid to enhancing the anti-seepage stability of the soil. To conduct research on the anti-seepage stability of soil, corresponding experimental test devices are required, but such experimental test devices are lacking at present.
