The invention provides a high earth and rockfill dam core wall
pore water pressure test method, and belongs to the technical field of indoor
soil mechanics tests. According to the method, the structure of a traditional compression consolidation apparatus is improved, a sealing steel
barrel which is provided with a double-layer sealing ring and can lead out a wire harness is adopted, and a high-precision
osmometer, a soil pressure meter and a high-
frequency data acquisition
system are combined, so that the compression consolidation apparatus can be fully sealed under the conditions of complete sealing and
high pressure; and the generation and change rule of
pore water pressure in the filling process of the core wall of the high earth-rock dam can be accurately simulated. The method comprises the steps of soil
sample preparation, saturation treatment, instrument burying, graded loading,
data acquisition and the like, and can be used for researching the influence of different water contents, loading rates and clay content on the
pore water pressure. Test results show that the method can still keep good sealing and
data stability under the condition of 5 MPa
high pressure, has high precision, high
repeatability and high reliability, and can provide scientific basis for high earth and rockfill dam core wall design and construction safety.
