泥浆渗透对盾构开挖面稳定性的影响研究

针对泥水平衡盾构工法遇到渗透性较大的砂性土体,或在特殊地质条件下出现泥浆与土体性质不匹配的情况,泥膜不能有效的阻止泥浆对土体产生渗透,泥浆的有效压力以渗透力的形式作用于开挖面土体,形成了开挖面稳定性的泥浆渗透模型。结合村山公式,考虑泥水的渗透区域与滑动面之间的几何关系对有效泥水压力进行折减,得到了泥浆渗透模型的开挖面稳定性安全系数,并采用此渗透模型探讨了泥浆渗透对开挖面稳定性的影响,通过实际工程算例的对比分析,表明该渗透模型是合理、有效的。

Comparative experimental investigation of chemical grouting into a fracture with flowing and static water

We present a series of experimental tests on chemical grouting into a fracture with flowing and static water,using a transparent fracture grouting experimental device.Variations of seepage pressure and grout propagation were compared in our investigation.The results show that flowing water results in drops of seepage pressure,development of penetration radii in the upstream side and drops of propagation area during the same period,compared with grouting in static water.The propagation area in static water is always round before grouts reach the joint boundaries.However,the propagation shape changes from round to an elliptic shape for grouting into a fracture with flowing water.A theoretical model for the grout penetration radius in a fracture considering flowing velocity was developed and validated by our experimental results.These results are helpful in improving understanding of fracture grouting mechanism and in guiding engineering practices.

Influence of Filter Cloth on the Cathode on the Electroosmotic Dewatering of Activated Sludge

The mechanical dewatering of activated sludge is troublesome due to its high compressibility of solids. The dewatering can be enhanced dramatically by the use of electroosmosis,in which an electric field is applied to the sludge cake.In this study,the influence of filter cloth on the cathode on the dewatering of activated sludge was investigated.It was found that thicker filter cloth led to lower water removal from the sludge cake,so a stainless steel cathode net with small pore size instead of filter cloth was applied,which improves the dewatering efficiency and reduces the electric power consumption.Moreover,water absorbent materials were helpful to remove the water from the sludge cake.For the electroosmotic dewatering at 7 kPa and 24 V·cm-1,the water content in the sludge cake decreased to 60%(by mass) with the average 0.075 kW·h·kg-1of water removed by using the cathode net.

Fundamental Study on a Grout Penetration Model for a HLW Repository

In both the construction and operation phases of a repository for high-level radioactive waste, it will be important to constrain groundwater inflow using grouting technology that will be effective under the high groundwater pressure conditions deep underground. In this research, a review of existing grout penetration models in Japan and foreign countries and a trial analysis are conducted with a goal of describing the gout penetration with accuracy on site. Specifically, the applicability of the model developed by Gustafson ＆ Stille to the laboratory penetration tests was studied. The results show that the calculated values from the Gustafson ＆ Stille model agree well with values of laboratory penetration tests.

Effects of nanoclay addition on the permeability and mechanical properties of ultra high toughness cementitious composites

Tuning microstructures by adding nanoparticles is a promising way of improving the performance of cementitious composites.In this study,nanoclay was introduced to polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)fiber reinforced ultra high toughness cementitious composites(UHTCCs).The mechanical properties,crack patterns,water permeation resistance,and microstructures of UHTCCs with different dosages of nanoclay were studied.The addition of a proper dosage of nanoclay shows few effects on the compressive strength of UHTCCs,however,the compressive strength is decreased when an excessive amount of nanoclay is added.The flexural deformation capacity of UHTCCs is independent of nanoclay dosage,whereas the flexural strength generally decreases with an increasing dosage of nanoclay.Different cracking patterns were observed in the ultra high toughness cementitious composites containing nanoclay(NC-UHTCC)specimens subject to bending tests.A UHTCC with 1%(in weight)nanoclay shows the best water permeation resistance and the lowest water permeability.Variations in the mechanical properties and the water permeation resistance of UHTCCs containing different dosages of nanoclay could be ascribed to the synthetic effects of filling and heterogeneous nucleation of nanoclay at low dosages and the agglomeration effect of nanoclay at high dosages.This study is to optimize the water permeation resistance of UHTCCs,paving a path for the future application of UHTCCs in the fields of construction,decoration,and repair.
