不同河水流速下沉管隧道混凝土劣化机理研究

    Concrete deterioration and mechanism of inland immersed tunnel under different river flow velocities

    • 摘要: 内河沉管隧道施工及服役期间承受河水离子侵蚀(化学场)、上层覆土/水压(应力场)、河水流动冲刷(渗流场)等耦合作用,导致沉管隧道混凝土力学性能劣化,影响沉管隧道结构安全运行和使用寿命。为此,本论文以顺德伦桂路内河沉管隧道为研究对象,通过开展不同流速下混凝土应力-渗流-化学耦合长期侵蚀试验,利用毫米压痕技术获得了沉管隧道结构混凝土力学性能劣化规律,借助电镜扫描及矿物分析手段探明了河水流速对沉管隧道结构混凝土劣化的影响机制,主要结论如下:1)内河环境侵蚀下沉管隧道结构混凝土弹性模量呈现先增强后被弱化的规律,这主要是由于石膏、钙矾石和Friedel’s盐等反应产物含量变化导致;2)河水流速的增加会加快混凝土的侵蚀进程,侵蚀深度从0 m/s下的4.42 mm增加到0.06 m/s下的5.66 mm,侵蚀速率也从0.0587mm/天增加到0.0783 mm/天;3)河水流速的增加会加重混凝土的劣化程度,随着流速从0 m/s增加到0.6 m/s,侵蚀面附近的弹性模量从17.86 GPa下降到16.41 GPa。本研究揭示了河水流速对复杂内河环境下沉管隧道结构混凝土力学性能劣化的影响规律,为内河隧道的设计、施工及维护提供新的思路和参考依据。

       

      Abstract: During construction and operation, immersed tunnels in inland waterways are subjected to coupled environmental factors, including ionic erosion from river water (chemical field), overburden soil and hydrostatic pressure (stress field), and flow-induced scouring (seepage field), all of which contribute to the deterioration of concrete mechanical properties and threaten structural integrity and service life. To address this issue, this study investigates the concrete degradation mechanisms in the Shunde Lungui Road submerged tunnel under multi-field coupling conditions. Through long-term stress-seepage-chemical erosion experiments at varying flow velocities, the mechanical performance degradation patterns of tunnel concrete were systematically analyzed using micro-indentation techniques. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mineralogical analysis were employed to elucidate the influence of flow velocity on concrete deterioration. Key findings include: (1) Under inland water erosion, the elastic modulus of tunnel concrete initially increases before weakening, primarily due to variations in the content of reaction products such as gypsum, ettringite, and Friedel’s salt; (2) Increasing flow velocity accelerates erosion progression, with erosion depth rising from 4.42 mm at 0 m/s to 5.66 mm at 0.06 m/s, and the erosion rate increasing from 0.0587 mm/day to 0.0783 mm/day; (3) Higher flow velocities exacerbate concrete degradation, reducing the near-surface elastic modulus from 17.86 GPa at 0 m/s to 16.41 GPa at 0.6 m/s. This study reveals the critical role of flow velocity in the mechanical deterioration of immersed tunnel concrete in complex inland environments, providing valuable insights for the design, construction, and maintenance of such infrastructure.
