基于低温三轴渗流核磁共振成像的人工冻结软土水分迁移及压融演化特征分析

    Moisture migration and pressure-melting of artificially frozen soft soil based on low-temperature triaxial seepage MRI

    • 摘要: 利用自行研发设计的低温三轴多相渗流核磁共振(MRI)测试成像分析系统,系统开展了渗流作用下人工冻结黏土及砂质粉土的水分迁移及压融试验。分析了冻结与渗流耦合作用下软土内部渗流通道的发展规律及未冻水含量变化,得到了压融过程中冰的演化信息。试验结果表明,渗流作用导致冻结黏土存在不均匀的渗流通道,集中于渗流出口,而砂质粉土形成了较为均匀的渗流通道;在冻结及渗流耦合作用下,土体内部未冻水含量逐渐减少,-30℃时黏土及砂质粉土的未冻水含量相比于室温分别降低了40%,93%;压融作用导致冰逐渐转化为水,黏土内部未冻水含量增加。该测试系统推动了冻土测试技术的发展,为冻土地区或人工冻结工程的基础设施建设提供了科学理论依据。

       

      Abstract: Using the self-developed and designed low-temperature triaxial multiphase seepage magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test analysis system, the moisture migration and pressure-melting tests on the artificially frozen clay and sandy silt under seepage conditions are systematically carried out. The development of seepage channels and the change of unfrozen water content in soft soil under the coupling of freezing and seepage are analyzed, and the information of ice evolution during pressure-melting process is obtained. The test results show that the seepage action leads to the existence of non-uniform seepage channels concentrated in the seepage outlets of frozen clay, while the sandy silt forms more uniform seepage channels. Under the coupling of freezing and seepage, the unfrozen water content inside the soil body gradually decreases, and the contents of unfrozen water of the clay and the sandy silt at -30℃ are reduced by 40% and 93%, respectively, compared to those at the room temperature. The pressure melting results in the gradual conversion of ice to water and an increasing unfrozen water content within the clay. This study promotes the development of frozen soil testing technology and provides a scientific theoretical basis for the construction of infrastructure in frozen soil areas or artificial freezing projects.
