文摘Grouting has been the most effective approach to mitigate water inrush disasters in underground engineering due to its ability to plug groundwater and enhance rock strength.Nevertheless,there is a lack of potent numerical tools for assessing the grouting effectiveness in water-rich fractured strata.In this study,the hydro-mechanical coupled discontinuous deformation analysis(HM-DDA)is inaugurally extended to simulate the grouting process in a water-rich discrete fracture network(DFN),including the slurry migration,fracture dilation,water plugging in a seepage field,and joint reinforcement after coagulation.To validate the capabilities of the developed method,several numerical examples are conducted incorporating the Newtonian fluid and Bingham slurry.The simulation results closely align with the analytical solutions.Additionally,a set of compression tests is conducted on the fresh and grouted rock specimens to verify the reinforcement method and calibrate the rational properties of reinforced joints.An engineering-scale model based on a real water inrush case of the Yonglian tunnel in a water-rich fractured zone has been established.The model demonstrates the effectiveness of grouting reinforcement in mitigating water inrush disaster.The results indicate that increased grouting pressure greatly affects the regulation of water outflow from the tunnel face and the prevention of rock detachment face after excavation.

文摘The chloride penetration resistance of cement-based grout materials was improved by nano-silica emulsion.Specimens of mixtures containing different nano-silica particles or emulsions were exposed in sodium chloride solutions of specific concentrations with different test ages.Hardened properties of the mixes were assessed in terms of weight loss and compressive strength.X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM)of mixes were performed to analysis the phase evolution and microstructure.The results demonstrated that the introduction of nano-SiO_(2) emulsion significantly decreased the compressive strength loss and calcium hydroxide(CH)crystal content of hydration production,and then enhanced the resistance of cement-based grouting materials to chloride ion penetration.This improvement derives from the filling and pozzolanic effects of nano-SiO_(2) particles,which were incorporated via an emulsion and attributed to a well dispersion in grouting matrix.
文摘Prediction of water inflow into a tunnel is a crucial prerequisite for the waterproof and drainage design of mountain tunnels in water-rich areas.Based on the proposed Baiyun Mountain Tunnel project in Guangzhou,a numerical percolation model of random fractured rock of a tunnel underpassing a water reservoir is established to study the seepage characteristics of surrounding rock,the law of water inflow,and the change of lining water pressure,considering the local artificial boundary conditions for seepage in large rock mass,.In addition,the influences of rock permeability,fracture aperture,grouting circle thickness,and penetration are analyzed.The results show that:(1)Only fractures with aperture wider than 0.1 mm can play a significant role in water conduction in rocks with the permeability lower than 10^(-11)m^(2);(2)The greater the permeability difference between the fractures and rocks,the more remarkable the effects of fractures on the surrounding rock seepage field and cavern water inflow;(3)The sensitivity of grouting waterproof function to grouting circle thickness,grouting ring penetration,and rock permeability is significantly higher than that of tunnel buried depth and fracture aperture;(4)The lining water head is much more sensitive to the grouting circle thickness and penetration than to the tunnel buried depth;(5)With the grouting range enlarging,the impact of grouting circle permeability on the precipitation pressure role of the grouting ring increases;(6)For the interesting tunnel designed to be built at the depth of 70 m,the grouting circle with the thickness of 0.5 m and permeability of 10-^(14)m^(2)is recommended.

文摘The aim of this study is to appraise the potential of calcium sulfoaluminate(CSA)cement-based grouts in simulated permafrost environments.The hydration and performance of CSA cement-based grouts cured in cold environments(10,0,and−10℃)are investigated using a combination of tests,including temperature recording,X-ray diffraction(XRD)tests,thermogravimetric analysis(TGA),and unconfined compressive strength(UCS)tests.The recorded temperature shows a rapid increase in temperature at the early stage in all the samples.Meanwhile,results of the TGA and XRD tests show the generation of a significant quantity of hydration products,which indicates the rapid hydration of CSA cement-based grouts at the early stage at low temperatures.Consequently,the CSA cement-based grouts exhibit remarkably high early strength.The UCS values of the samples cured for 2 h at−10,0,and 10℃ are 6.5,12.0,and 12.3 MPa,respectively.The UCS of the grouts cured at−10,0,and 10℃ increases continuously with age and ultimately reached 14.9,19.0,and 30.6 MPa at 28 d,respectively.The findings show that the strength of grouts fabricated using CSA cement can develop rapidly in cold environments,thus rendering them promising for permafrost applications.

文摘The cement-fly ash composite expansive stable grout was prepared to deal with the problems of poor stability and volume shrinkage of ordinary cement grout,and the effects of fly ash ratio and water-binder ratio on the properties of the grout and its consolidation were analyzed.In addition,the mineral composition and microstructural characteristics of grout consolidation with different mixing ratios were investigated.The experimental results indicate that fly ash and the increase of water-binder ratio reduce the strength of the grout consolidation,and increase the fluidity,bleeding rate,and setting time of the composite grout.However,the magnitude of the fly ash-induced strength reduction decreases with time.And the effect of fly ash on the setting time and compressive strength becomes more significant with the water-binder ratio.The later expansion performance of grout consolidation(after 7-42 d)is improved by fly ash.But the expansibility of consolidation with fly ash decreases at the early curing stage,and the reduction amplitude of expansion rate is smaller and the reduction age is shorter with the water-binder ratio increase.Fly ash improves the corrosion resistance performance of grout consolidation,and the corrosion resistance coefficient rises first and then falls with the fly ash ratio.And for 0.6:1 water-binder ratio,the corrosion resistance coefficient of the samples mixed with fly ash are greater than 100%.XRD and SEM show that fly ash inhibited the formation of ettringite in the early stage,which is unfavorable to the expansion of the slurry,and with the increase of age,this effect gradually weakened.

文摘The ongoing operation of subway systems makes existing tunnels vulnerable to deformations and structural damage caused by adjacent foundation pit construction.Such deformations-manifesting as horizontal displacement,heightened lateral convergence,and internal force redistribution-may significantly compromise subway operational safety.Grouting remediation has become a widely adopted solution for tunnel deformation control and structural reinforcement.Developing optimized grouting materials is crucial for improving remediation effectiveness,ensuring structural integrity,and maintaining uninterrupted subway operations.This investigation explores the substitution of fine mortar aggregates with 0.1 mm discarded rubber particles at varying concentrations(0%,3%,6%,9%,12%,and 15%).Experimental parameters included three water-cement ratios(0.65,0.70,and 0.75)with constant 4%WPU content.Mechanical properties including compressive strength,flexural strength,and compression-to-bending ratio were evaluated across specified curing periods.Material characterization employed Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR)spectroscopy for molecular analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM)for microstructural examination.Results indicate optimal toughness at 0.70 water-cement ratio with 6%rubber content,meeting mechanical pumping specifications while maintaining structural performance.
文摘Pre-injection is a technique that involves injecting grout materials into the ground prior to excavation,with the aim of stabilizing the surrounding rock mass.This paper introduces an analytical closed-form model for determining the ground reaction curve of tunnels in rock masses exhibiting elastic-brittleplastic behavior and adhering to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion.The model incorporates the reinforced region created by the pre-injection method.When the rock mass is reinforced through preinjection,plastic regions can form independently in both the natural and injected rock masses.This leads to six distinct modes of the problem.The analytical model presented in this paper considers three possible scenarios for the development of plastic regions.Each scenario comprises four stages,with each stage representing a different mode of the problem.While injecting the rock mass can enhance its strength and stiffness,it may also increase the brittleness of the injected rock mass and create stress concentrations within it,particularly when brittle grouts are used.As a result,this can elevate the risk of rockburst due to unstable failure.The results obtained from the model demonstrate that ductile grout performs exceptionally well in controlling tunnel convergence in rock masses,as it accommodates deformation without sudden failure,even in squeezing rock mass conditions.Conversely,the use of brittle grouts should be approached with caution,particularly in squeezing rock masses,due to their susceptibility to rockburst incidents.

文摘Curtain grouting projects are characterized by their large scale and complexity,presenting significant challenges for real-time prediction of grout penetration using traditional methods.This study introduces an intelligent prediction method for grouting in fractured rock masses based on three core principles:integration of multi-source input features,fracture voxel modeling,and shortest path in sequential grouting.Three categories of data(geological structure data,grouting environmental data,and grouting operation data in the concept of a grouting geological model)are integrated and served as multi-source structured data in the intelligent prediction of grouting.A voxelization model quantifies the spatial characteristics of fractures,with voxel size optimized for capturing grouting paths.A shortest path algorithm based on a hierarchical solution is then developed to calculate grout penetration distances in the process of sequential grouting.A complete analysis framework is established,from the voxelization of the fracture network model to precise voxel classification,ultimately achieving an accurate prediction of grout penetration.The method demonstrates excellent performance on the test set,with validation against numerical methods in single-fracture and sequential grouting scenarios confirming its accuracy and prediction efficiency as hundreds of times faster than numerical methods.Application to the Dongzhuang hydraulic project’s grouting test area further validates its effectiveness in multi-hole grouting scenarios.

文摘The commercial exploitation of natural gas hydrates is currently facing several challenges,including low production rates,limited recovery areas,and brief periods of continuous production.To address these issues,we propose a novel dual-enhanced stimulation(DES)method for marine hydrate reservoirs.This method involves injecting a special slurry that solidifies into porous,high-permeability,and highstrength slurry veins.These veins not only enhance permeability,allowing for faster gas and water flow,but also improve reservoir stability.This study experimentally investigated the split grouting of clayey-silty sediments with dual-enhanced slurry to assess the feasibility of DES and to explo re the slurry diffusion mechanism and micro-pore structure of the veins.The results showed that split grouting with dual-enhanced slurry exhibited frequent fracture initiation with quick pressure spikes and sharp declines,suggesting shorter fractures in clayey-silty sediments.As vertical stress increased,the primary diffusion direction of the dual-enhanced slurry shifted from horizontal to vertical,aligning with fracture propagation patterns observed during fracturing.Unlike hydraulic fracturing in hard rocks,split grouting in clayey-silty sediments encountered more difficult conditions.These veins formed through a recurring cycle of splitting into fractures and filling with slurry,occurring more frequently in weaker sediments with slower injection rates and higher vertical stress.Increased vertical stress hindered slurry vein diffu sion,easily resulting in compaction grouting near the grouting pipe.Additionally,three-dimensional laser scanning of the veins showed that those formed through split grouting were continuous and stable,with their thickness decreasing as diffusion distance increased.The morphology of these veins was shaped by factors such as grouting rate,formation stress,and elastic modulus,with higher rates and elastic moduli facilitating the formation of complex vein networks.Mercury intrusion porosimetry demonstrated that the DES method resulted in veins with consistent effective porosity between 65%and70%and median pore sizes of 11-15μm across different locations.These veins formed a well-connected porous network of smaller pores,significantly enhancing both permeability and sand control.The research findings validate the effectiveness of the DES method for marine hydrate reservoirs,providing a strategy for the safe and efficient exploitation of NGH resources.

文摘Recently,foamed polymers have been widely used in the repair of underground engineering disasters by grouting(trenchless technology)due to controllable gelation time and self-expansion.However,the grouting process becomes more complicated due to the complex geological conditions and the self-expansion of slurry.Therefore,this paper adopts a self-made visual experimental device with peripheral pressure and water plugging rate(WPR)monitoring functions to study the influence of main influencing parameters(particle size distribution,grouting amount and dynamic water pump pressure(DWPP))on the spatiotemporal distribution of slurry WPR and diffusion dynamic response(peripheral pressure).The results show that:When grouting amount is 563 g and DWPP is 0.013 MPa,the expansion force of the slurry in the diffusion process is dominant and can significantly change the local sand and gravel skeleton structure.When grouting amount is 563 g,DWPP is 0.013 MPa,and particle size distribution type isⅢ,the flow time of the polymer is shortened,the pores of the gravel are rapidly blocked.Then,the peripheral pressure decreases rapidly with the increase of the distance,and the time to reach the inflection point WPR is shortened.The instantaneous blockage of the pores leads to the delayed transmission of flow field blockage information.

文摘Due to the invisibility and complexity of the underground spaces,monitoring the propagation and filling characteristics of the grouting slurry post the water–sand mixture inrush in metal mines is challenging,which complicates engineering treatment.This research investigated the propagation law of cement-sodium silicate slurry under flowing water conditions within the caving mass of a metal mine.First,based on borehole packer test results and borehole TV images,the fractured strata before grouting were classified into four types:cavity,hidden,fissure,and complete.Second,an orthogonal experimental design was employed to evaluate the impact of four key factors—stratigraphic fragmentation,water flow rate,grouting flow rate,and water-cement ratio—on the efficacy of grouting within a caving mass at the site.The results indicate that the factors influencing grouting efficacy are ranked in the following order of importance:stratigraphic fragmentation>water flow rate>water–cement ratio>grouting flow rate.Ultimately,five propagation filling modes—pure slurry,big crack,small crack,small karst pore,and pore penetration—were identified by examining the propagation filling characteristics of slurry in rock samples,incorporating microscopic material structure analysis through scanning electron microscopy and energy spectrum analysis.The findings of this study provide valuable insights into selecting engineering treatment parameters and methodologies,serving as a reference for preventing and controlling water–sand mixture inrush in metal mines,thereby enhancing treatment efficacy and ensuring grouting success.

文摘Concrete is one of the most important elements in building construction.However,concrete used in construction is susceptible to damage due to corrosion.The influence of corrosive substances causes changes in the reinforcing steel and affects the strength of the structure.The repair method is one approach to overcome this problem.This research aims to determine the effect of grouting and jacketing repairs on corroded concrete.The concrete used has dimensions of 15 cm×15 cm×60 cm with planned corrosion variations of 50%,60%,and 70%.The test objects were tested using the Non-Destructive Testing(NDT)method using Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity(UPV).The test results show that the average speed of normal concrete is 5070 m/s,while the lowest average speed is 3070 m/s on the 70%planned corrosion test object.The test object was then given a load of 1600 kgf.At this stage,there is a decrease in speed and wave shape with the lowest average speed obtained at 2753 m/s.The repair method is an effort to restore concrete performance by using grouting and jacketing.Grouting is done by injecting mortar material into it.Jacketing involves adding thickness to the existing concrete layer with additional layers of concrete.After improvements were made,there was an improvement in the UPV test,with a peak speed value of 4910 m/s.Repairing concrete by filling cracks can improve concrete continuity and reduce waveform distortion,thereby increasing wave propagation speed.

文摘Grouting is a widely applied technique for reinforcing fractured zones in deep soft rock tunnels.By infiltrating rock fissures,slurry materials enhance structural integrity and improve the overall stability of the surrounding rock.The performance of grouting is primarily governed by the flow behavior and diffusion extent of the slurry.This review considers recent advances in the theory and methodology of slurry flow and diffusion in fractured rock.It examines commonly used grout materials,including cement-based,chemical,and composite formulations,each offering distinct advantages for specific geological conditions.Themechanisms of reinforcement vary significantly across materials,requiring tailored application strategies.The rheological properties of grouting slurries,particularly cement-based types,have been widely modeled using classical constitutive approaches.However,the influence of time-and space-dependent viscosity evolution on slurry behavior remains underexplored.Experimental studies have provided valuable insights into slurry diffusion,yet further research is needed to capture real-time behavior under multi-scale and multi-physics coupling conditions.Similarly,current numerical simulations are largely limited to twoand three-dimensional models of single-fracture flow.These models often neglect the complexity of fracture networks and geological heterogeneity,highlighting a need for more realistic and integrated simulation frameworks.Future research should focus on:(1)fine-scale modeling of slurry hydration and mechanical reinforcement processes;(2)cross-scale analysis of slurry flow under coupled thermal,hydraulic,andmechanical fields;and(3)development of realtime,three-dimensional dynamic simulation tools to capture the full grouting process.These efforts will strengthen the theoretical foundation and practical effectiveness of grouting in complex underground environments.

文摘In the civil and mining industries,bolts are critical components of support systems,playing a vital role in ensuring their stability.Glass fibre reinforced polymer(GFRP)bolts are widely used because they are corrosion-resistant and cost-effective.However,the damage mechanisms of GFRP bolts under blasting dynamic loads are still unclear,especially compared to metal bolts.This study investigates the cumulative damage of fully grouted GFRP bolts under blasting dynamic loads.The maximum axial stress at the tails of the bolts is defined as the damage variable,based on the failure characteristics of GFRP bolts.By combining this with Miner's cumulative damage theory,a comprehensive theoretical and numerical model is established to calculate cumulative damage.Field data collected from the Jinchuan No.3 Mining Area,including GFRP bolts parameters and blasting vibration data are used for further analysis of cumulative damage in fully grouted GFRP bolts.Results indicate that with an increasing number of blasts,axial stress increases in all parts of GFRP bolts.The tail exhibits the most significant rise,with stress extending deeper into the anchorage zone.Cumulative damage follows an exponential trend with the number of blasts,although the incremental damage per blast decelerates over time.Higher dynamic load intensities accelerate damage accumulation,leading to an exponential decline in the maximum loading cycles before failure.Additionally,stronger surrounding rock and grout mitigate damage accumulation,with the effect of surrounding rock strength being more pronounced than that of grout.In contrast,the maximum axial stress of metal bolts increases quickly to a certain point and then stabilizes.This shows a clear difference between GFRP and metal bolts.This study presents a new cumulative damage theory that underpins the design of GFRP bolt support systems under blasting conditions,identifies key damage factors,and suggests mitigation measures to enhance system stability.

文摘Compaction grouting is primarily applied based on empiricism,and it is challenging to quantify its densification effect.To address this issue,five sets of laboratory model tests on ideal compaction grouting were conducted,with varying pressures from 400 kPa to 800 kPa,to quantitatively evaluate the densification effect in unsaturated soils.The response of surrounding soil during compaction grouting was monitored.The changes in dry density and void ratio induced by compaction grouting were obtained by monitoring volumetric water content to determine compaction efficiency.In addition,a model was developed and validated to predict the effective compaction range.The results show that soil dry density increased rapidly during compaction grouting before being stabilized at a consistent level.As expected,it is positively correlated with grouting pressures(GPs)and negatively correlated with the distance from the injection point.At higher GPs,the difference in densification effect around the injection point after compaction grouting was significant.Interestingly,variations in ultimate dry density and peak earth pressures perpendicular to the injection direction exhibited axisymmetric behavior around the injection point when comparing the dry density and earth pressure results.Furthermore,soil densification resulted in a decrease in suction.However,no significant effect of GP on suction at different soil positions was observed.Moreover,compaction efficiency decreased with increasing distance from the injection point,showing a strong linear relationship.In addition,the model results for the effective compaction range were basically consistent with the extrapolated values from the experimental results.
