弱胶结卵漂石混合土溶蚀分解及细观特性研究

    Erosion Decomposition and Microscopic Characteristics of Weakly Cemented Pebble-cobble Mixed Soil

    • 摘要: 在我国西南地区广泛分布的弱胶结卵漂石混合土,因其成岩程度低、胶结性差及遇水易软化崩解等特性,已成为边坡工程中的重大隐患,严重威胁工程安全。本文以西藏扎拉水电站工程区六类典型弱胶结卵漂石混合土为对象,综合运用化学分析、溶蚀分解试验、干湿循环崩解试验及扫描电镜观测,系统研究了水土作用下其化学特性、溶蚀迁移规律、崩解特性及微观结构演化机制。结果表明:(1)六类弱碱性土体中,除钙质胶结类型外,均富含以SO42-、Cl-为主的易溶盐;地表水与地下水浸泡可加速易溶盐(尤其是SO42-和Ca2+)的流失,而钙质胶结土表现出优异的抗溶蚀性。(2)干湿循环作用显著影响土体的崩解特性,其破坏作用在循环初期最为剧烈,以大孔隙类土体崩解风险最高;胶结类型与完整性是控制崩解程度的关键,二者不利的空间组合会产生协同劣化,导致崩解量倍增。(3)饱水作用导致土体微观结构发生系统性劣化,宏观表现为稳定致密结构(面-面接触)转变为松散状态(边-边/角接触),并伴随颗粒圆钝、裂隙扩展、孔隙增多且连通性增强等系列变化。其中,胶结松散且局部孔隙发育的土样,其劣化程度最为显著。本研究从微观机制上深化了对水土作用的理解,为相关工程的边坡稳定性分析与设计优化提供了关键支撑。

       

      Abstract: Weakly cemented pebble-cobble mixed soils are widely distributed in southwestern China. These materials characterized by low diagenetic maturity, weak cementation, and pronounced susceptibility to softening and disintegration, present substantial risks to slope engineering. This study presents a systematic investigation of six representative soil types from the Zhala hydropower station area in Tibet. An integrated methodological approach was employed, incorporating chemical analysis, dissolution tests, wet-dry cycling disintegration experiments, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The research focuses on elucidating the chemical composition,, dissolution and migration patterns, and microstructural evolution under hydro-chemo-mechanical interactions. Key findings include: (1) The soils are generally weakly alkaline, with the exception of calcareous cemented types, contain abundant soluble salts (predominantly SO42- and Cl⁻. SO42- serves as a primary indicator of dissolution, with both surface water and groundwater immersion significantly enhancing the leaching of soluble salts, particularly SO42- and Ca2+... Calcareous-cemented soils exhibit relatively higher resistance to erosion.. (2) Wet-dry cycles exert a pronounced influence on disintegration behavior, with the initial cycles causing the most substantial structural deterioration. Soils with high initial porosity demonstrate the greatest susceptibility to disintegration. While cementation type and structural integrity play a critical role in mitigating, specific spatial configurations of cementation and pore distribution may result in synergistic degradation, thereby amplifying disintegration potential.. (3) Water saturation leads to progressive microstructural deterioration, wherein stable, dense fabric (characterized by face-to-face particle contacts) transitions to a loose, porous arrangement (dominated by edge-to-edge and point contacts). This transformation is accompanied by particle rounding, crack propagation, increased porosity, and enhanced pore connectivity. The most significant degradation is observed in samples with weak cementation and localized pore development. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the hydro-chemo-mechanical mechanisms governing the behavior of weakly cemented pebble-cobble mixed soils and offer valuable theoretical and practical insights for slope stability assessment and engineering design in similar geological settings.
