Pathways formed by excavation can trigger the inrush of dry sand or water–sand mixture, thereby jeopardising underground operations. This study combines scale model experiments with the Computational Fluid Dynamics–Discrete Element Method (CFD–DEM) to investigate the effects of sand-layer thickness, particle density and fracture cross-sectional shape on the migration of dry sand and water–sand mixtures with longitudinal single fractures. Results indicate that the initiation time of sand inrush is delayed with increasing sand-layer thickness. For a given thickness, particle density is positively correlated with the sand inrush mass flow rate and the cumulative mass limit, defined as the upper limit of sand inflow by mass; however, it is inversely correlated with the volumetric flow rate and the cumulative volume limit, defined as the upper limit by volume. Compared with dry sand or water–sand mixture flow in a circular-section fracture, a rectangular-section fracture with the same cross-sectional area exhibits a larger cumulative volume limit of extruded particles, lower mass and volume flow rates and a longer inrush duration. The flow-rate curve for dry sand displays three stages (initiation, stabilisation and termination), whereas that for water–sand mixture shows a dual-peak pattern, comprising initiation, stabilisation, destabilisation and termination. The fracture inclination angle influences the sand inrush flow rate by regulating the effective aperture. Finally, a modified particle flow model is proposed, which warrants further investigation with respect to size effects and its applicability to quantitative cross-scale extrapolation.
挖掘形成的通道可能引发干沙或水沙混合物的涌入,从而危及地下作业。结合比例模型实验和计算流体力学-离散元法(CFD-DEM),研究了砂层厚度、颗粒密度和裂缝截面形状对含纵向单裂缝的干砂和水砂混合体运移的影响。结果表明,随着砂层厚度的增加,涌砂的发生时间有所延迟。在一定厚度下,颗粒密度与涌砂质量流速率和累积质量极限呈正相关,累积质量极限定义为以质量为单位的涌砂上限;然而,它与体积流量和累积体积限制呈负相关,累积体积限制定义为体积上限。与圆截面裂缝中的干砂或水砂混合流动相比,相同截面积的矩形截面裂缝具有更大的挤压颗粒累积体积极限、更低的质量和体积流量以及更长的涌流持续时间。干砂的流量曲线表现为三个阶段(起裂、稳定和终止),而水砂混合物的流量曲线表现为双峰模式,包括起裂、稳定、失稳和终止。裂缝倾角通过调节有效孔径来影响涌砂流量。最后,提出了一个改进的颗粒流模型,该模型值得进一步研究尺寸效应及其在定量跨尺度外推中的适用性。

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a natural phenomenon with broad applications, especially in civil and environmental engineering. The spatiotemporal distribution of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is a critical factor for evaluating the effectiveness of MICP. However, so far, there are no appropriate methods to non-intrusively characterize the real-time distribution of CaCO3 in MICP-treated soil, which obstructs a better understanding of MICP kinetics. This study achieves the reconstruction of the spatiotemporal distribution of CaCO3 precipitation using electrical conductivity tomography. Three packs of silica beads at the laboratory scale were subjected to the multi-cycle MICP treatment. Effluent conductivity after each treatment cycle and final CaCO3 volume fraction were determined. Results show that there were conflicting effects of urea hydrolysis and CaCO3 precipitation on the electrical conductivity of the silica bead packs. A petrophysical model relating electrical conductivity to CaCO3 volume fraction in silica bead pack was proposed. The petrophysical model provided a basis for the real-time monitoring of CaCO3 distribution, porosity, and cementation exponent in MICP-treated soil. The spatiotemporal distribution of CaCO3 in the silica bead pack was then reconstructed based on the electrical conductivity tomograms. The results provided novel insights into the features and potential causes of heterogeneity in CaCO3 distribution, offering a promising approach to better understand MICP kinetics and facilitate the management of MICP field applications.
微生物诱导碳酸盐沉淀(MICP)是一种具有广泛应用的自然现象,特别是在土木和环境工程中。碳酸钙(CaCO3)的时空分布是评价MICP效果的关键因素。然而,到目前为止,还没有合适的方法来非侵入性地表征MICP处理土壤中CaCO3的实时分布,这阻碍了对MICP动力学的更好理解。本研究利用电导率层析成像实现了CaCO3沉淀的时空分布重建。在实验室规模下,对三包硅珠进行多循环MICP处理。测定各处理循环后出水电导率和最终CaCO3体积分数。结果表明,尿素水解和CaCO3沉淀对硅球包的电导率有相互矛盾的影响。建立了电导率与碳酸钙体积分数之间的岩石物理模型。该岩石物理模型为实时监测micp处理土壤中CaCO3分布、孔隙度和胶结指数提供了基础。基于电导率层析图重构了CaCO3在硅球包中的时空分布。研究结果对CaCO3分布异质性的特征和潜在原因提供了新的见解,为更好地理解MICP动力学和促进MICP现场应用的管理提供了有前途的方法。

Moisture- and temperature-induced changes in microstructure and stabilization products remain a concern, requiring further study to clarify their effects on the engineering behavior of stabilized soils. Thus, this study aims to evaluate the engineering response of stabilized high-plasticity clay to moisture- and temperature-driven environmental conditioning, using hydrated lime (L) and lime sludge (S) under four sequences: freezing-thawing (FT), wetting-drying (WD), freezing-thawing-wetting-drying (FTWD), and wetting-drying-freezing-thawing (WDFT). Expansive soils were treated with a total dosage of 8% of L and S mixtures (4L4S and 6L2S) and evaluated through UCS and repeated load triaxial tests, further supported by microstructural and mineralogical analyses. Both 4L4S- and 6L2S-treated specimens exhibited improved engineering performance compared to the untreated soil due to short-term strength gains and long-term pozzolanic reactions. Importantly, the addition of lime sludge, a calcite-rich material, did not hinder the stabilization process, as 4L4S specimens achieved UCS values comparable to those of specimens treated with 5% hydrated lime. Both the treated specimens retained their integrity throughout the environmental conditioning phases, whereas the untreated specimens collapsed during the early stages. Among these durability studies, FT caused the most severe deterioration, due to substantial soil swelling during freezing. In contrast, coupled durability conditions caused relatively less damage, due to limited ice lens formation post drying phase, resulting in better engineering properties. Microstructural and mineralogical analyses were performed, which revealed the formation of cementitious gels, binding soil particles and enhancing the structural stability and durability of the treated specimens. Also, key variations in the mineral content, and related microstructure of the stabilized soils through thermogravimetric analysis were observed after different environmental conditionings. This explains the influence of the mineral contents and microstructure of stabilized soils on the long-term performance.
水分和温度引起的微观结构和稳定产物的变化仍然是一个值得关注的问题,需要进一步研究以阐明它们对稳定土工程行为的影响。因此,本研究旨在评估稳定的高塑性粘土对水分和温度驱动的环境条件的工程响应,采用水合石灰(L)和石灰污泥(S)在冻融(FT)、湿-干(WD)、冻融-湿-干(FTWD)和湿-干-冻融(WDFT)四种顺序下进行。采用总掺量为8%的L和S混合物(4L4S和6L2S)处理膨胀土,通过单轴载荷试验和重复载荷三轴试验对膨胀土进行了评价,并进行了微观结构和矿物学分析。4L4S和6l2s处理后的土由于短期强度增加和长期火山灰反应,其工程性能均优于未经处理的土。重要的是,添加石灰污泥(一种富含方解石的材料)并没有阻碍稳定过程,因为4L4S样品的UCS值与使用5%水合石灰处理的样品相当。两个处理过的标本在整个环境调节阶段都保持了完整性,而未经处理的标本在早期阶段就崩溃了。在这些耐久性研究中,由于冻结过程中大量的土壤膨胀,FT导致了最严重的劣化。相比之下,耦合耐久性条件造成的损伤相对较小,因为干燥阶段后形成的冰透镜有限,因此具有更好的工程性能。微观结构和矿物学分析表明,处理后的样品形成了胶凝凝胶,结合了土壤颗粒,增强了结构稳定性和耐久性。通过热重分析,观察了不同环境条件下稳定土矿物含量及相关微观结构的关键变化。这解释了稳定土的矿物含量和微观结构对长期性能的影响。

Revealing hydrological processes leading to shallow landslides triggered by heavy rainfall contributes to assessing hillslope hazards and understanding the topographic evolution of mountainous landscapes. This study investigates the causal linkages between subsurface structures characterized by distinct physical properties of the regolith and dominant hydrological processes leading to shallow landsliding. Study sites are located on low-relief, steep hillslopes underlain by granitoids in northern Abukuma Mountains, northeastern Japan, where many shallow landslides occurred during a severe typhoon in 2019. We selected representative hillslopes with typical translational landslide scars in adjacent granite and granodiorite areas to investigate their subsurface structures, physical properties of soil and bedrock, and groundwater processes. Slope models were configured based on these field data, to simulate pore water pressure fluctuations under extreme rainfall. In the granite slope, the impervious bedrock inhibits vertical percolation of water through the overlying, highly permeable soil, forming a saturated zone at the soil bottom, which persists due to lateral throughflow. The saturated zone thickens downslope and can eventually rise to the ground surface under extreme rainfall, which may cause shallow landslides and gullies at head hollows. In the granodiorite slope, the thick soil mantle and underlying permeable bedrock exhibit high water retention capacity, which prevents full saturation under usual rainfall condition. The wetting front slows as it crosses the transitional boundary between the loose upper and stiff lower soil layers, reflecting shifts in hydraulic properties. During extreme rainfall, excess water accumulates above the less-permeable lower soil layer, forming a perched groundwater table that may induce shear failure along the translational boundary. These distinct mechanisms might result in different rainfall thresholds for landsliding, which are short intense rainfall for the granite hillslopes and prolonged, large-amount rainfall for the granodiorite terrain.
揭示暴雨引发浅层滑坡的水文过程有助于评估山坡灾害和了解山地景观的地形演变。本研究探讨了以不同的风化层物理性质为特征的地下结构与导致浅层滑坡的主要水文过程之间的因果关系。研究地点位于日本东北部武间山脉北部花岗岩下的低起伏陡峭山坡上,在2019年的强台风期间发生了许多浅层山体滑坡。在邻近的花岗岩和花岗闪长岩区选取具有典型平移滑坡伤痕的代表性山坡,研究其地下结构、土壤和基岩的物理性质以及地下水过程。基于这些野外数据配置了边坡模型,以模拟极端降雨下孔隙水压力的波动。在花岗岩边坡中,不透水的基岩抑制了水通过上覆的高透水性土壤的垂直渗透,在土壤底部形成了一个饱和带,由于横向通流而持续存在。饱和带下坡变厚,在极端降雨下最终会上升到地表,这可能导致浅层滑坡和山头凹陷处的沟壑。在花岗闪长岩坡面,厚厚的土幔和下伏的透水基岩具有较高的保水能力,在一般降雨条件下不能完全饱和。当湿润锋穿过松散的上层和坚硬的下层之间的过渡边界时,它的速度会减慢,这反映了水力特性的变化。在极端降雨期间,过量的水积聚在渗透性较差的下层土壤上,形成一个悬空的地下水位,可能导致沿平移边界的剪切破坏。这些不同的机制可能导致不同的滑坡降雨阈值,花岗岩山坡为短时间强降雨,花岗闪长岩地形为长时间大降雨。

This article investigates the high-temperature behaviour of thirteen types of limestone used in masonry, focusing on their petrographic properties. Thermochemical and thermomechanical characteristics were evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis and linear measurements up to 1050 °C. Both non-destructive tests (P-wave velocity and dynamic modulus of elasticity) and destructive tests (uniaxial compression, three-point bending, and Brazilian splitting) were conducted on specimens of varying geometries. These specimens underwent four distinct heating-cooling cycles at 200, 400, 600, and 800 °C. The pore network was assessed using water-accessible porosity (under vacuum), capillary water absorption (up to 600 °C), and mercury intrusion porosimetry at 750 °C. Limestone undergoes a significant reduction in its physical and mechanical properties at 600 °C, primarily due to the differential thermal expansion of its constituent minerals. At 800 °C, limestone loses even more of its mechanical properties due to calcite contraction during decarbonatization. Furthermore, limestone thermal sensitivity is also influenced by grain size and by the proportion of fine pores (<10 μm), which respectively govern the magnitude of internal thermal stresses and the ability of the bonding phase to accommodate thermal expansion.
本文研究了13种用于砌筑的石灰石的高温行为,重点研究了它们的岩石学性质。通过热重分析和高达1050 °C的线性测量来评估热化学和热力学特性。对不同几何形状的试样进行了无损试验(纵波速度和动弹性模量)和破坏性试验(单轴压缩、三点弯曲和巴西劈裂)。这些标本在200、400、600和800 °C下经历了四个不同的加热-冷却循环。通过水可达孔隙度(真空下)、毛细管吸水率(高达600 °C)和750 °C压汞孔隙度法评估孔隙网络。石灰石在600 °C时,其物理和机械性能显著下降,主要是由于其组成矿物的热膨胀差异。在800 °C时,由于方解石在脱碳过程中收缩,石灰石失去了更多的机械性能。此外,石灰石的热敏性还受晶粒尺寸和细孔(<10 μm)比例的影响,它们分别决定了内部热应力的大小和键合相适应热膨胀的能力。

Interfacial preferential seepage poses a significant threat to the safety of check dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau; however, the quantitative relationship between this seepage processes and the initiation of dam failure remains unclear. Through combined field investigations and model testing, this study provides the first quantitative analysis of how the intensity of interfacial preferential seepage governs distinct failure modes and mechanisms in check dams. Key findings confirm the presence of a measurable preferential seepage along cut-fill interfaces, characterized by accelerated moisture migration and elevated pore water pressure relative to the surrounding soil. This imperceptible preferential seepage can trigger severe interface-concentrated failure, manifesting from particle-scale piping to structure-scale sliding. Crucially, we demonstrate that the compaction density of the dam controls the interfacial seepage intensity and thereby dictates the failure mode transition: from sudden piping driven by strong seepage under low density, to progressive sliding induced by moderate seepage at medium density, and finally to minor deformation caused by weak seepage under high density. Mechanistically, we propose a hydraulic-gravitational competition framework to explain these transitions: increasing compaction density shifts the dominant force from seepage-driven erosion to gravity-dominated shear, consequently altering the failure mode from piping to sliding. Furthermore, we established a technical pathway for translating model findings into field applications by developing scalable failure criteria for check dams. These findings offer the first mechanistic explanation of dam failure driven by interfacial preferential seepage, providing crucial insights for risk assessment of existing dams and the seepage-resistant design of new dams on the Chinese Loess Plateau.
界面优先渗流对黄土高原挡土坝的安全构成重大威胁。然而,渗流过程与溃坝发生之间的定量关系尚不清楚。通过现场调查和模型试验相结合,本研究首次定量分析了界面优先渗流强度对挡土坝不同破坏模式和机制的影响。主要研究结果证实了沿填切界面存在可测量的优先渗流,其特征是相对于周围土壤的水分迁移加速和孔隙水压力升高。这种难以察觉的优先渗流会引发严重的界面集中破坏,表现为从颗粒尺度的管道到结构尺度的滑动。至关重要的是,我们证明了大坝的压实密度控制着界面渗流强度,从而决定了破坏模式的转变:从低密度下由强渗流驱动的突然管道,到中密度下由中等渗流引起的渐进滑动,最后到高密度下由弱渗流引起的轻微变形。在力学上,我们提出了一个水力-重力竞争框架来解释这些转变:压实密度的增加将主导力从渗漏驱动的侵蚀转变为重力主导的剪切,从而将破坏模式从管道转变为滑动。此外,我们通过开发可扩展的止回坝失效标准,建立了将模型结果转化为现场应用的技术途径。这些发现首次提供了界面优先渗流导致大坝溃坝的机理解释,为中国黄土高原现有大坝的风险评估和新建大坝的抗渗设计提供了重要的见解。
