The invention relates to a
thermodynamics-based soil freezing characteristic curve model considering unequal-
diameter particle contact, and the model comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out soil unequal-
diameter particle contact calculation to obtain a
contact mode of a soil sample; and (2) carrying out water freezing calculation on the soil to obtain freezing points of
capillary water and adsorbed water of the soil. And (3) calculating freezing characteristic curves of the soil sample at different temperatures through the soil-water characteristic curve model. On the basis of
thermodynamics, according to the similarity of a soil-water characteristic curve and a freezing characteristic curve, the determination effect of a complex particle
contact mode of soil on the conversion relation of the soil-water characteristic curve and the freezing characteristic curve is considered, and the capillary effect and the
adsorption effect of the soil on water are considered from the angle of the action relation of unequal-
diameter particle contact influence specific interface energy; a soil-water characteristic curve model is introduced to deduce and establish a freezing characteristic curve theoretical model. According to the method, multiple influence factors such as particle size, interface energy and
void ratio are fully considered, the influence factors are clear, the physical significance is definite, and the method can be used for calculating and predicting the relation between the temperature and the
water content of the frozen soil. In addition, the method can also provide theoretical support for analyzing permeability, water and salt migration characteristics, soil
shear strength and
volume deformation of frozen soil, and provide theoretical reserve for perfecting an
engineering numerical calculation model.
