Experimental Facility and Method for Simulating Hydrodynamic
Sand Carrying under Coupled Action of Seepage and Vibration
TECHNICAL FIELD
The invention belongs to the technical field of open-pit coal mining, and particularly
relates to an experimental facility and a method for simulating hydrodynamic sand carrying
under coupled action of seepage and vibration.
BACKGROUND
During open-pit mining in Inner Mongolia and Northwest China, there are a large
number of composite slopes under the geological conditions of thin bedrock overlaid with
sand layers. Due to the influence of high head difference, fine sand particles in thick sand
layers migrate in seepage channels formed by sand pores under the seepage force
formed by hydraulic gradient, and under vibration effects of vehicle loads, mine earthquake
and blasting around the open-pit slopes, forming a water-sand two-phase flow that is
gradually carried out of the slopes, resulting in gradual erosion inside the slopes and
accumulation on the surface.
Such disasters caused by hydrodynamic sand carrying processes are common
problems in open-pit mining, and the disaster-causing mechanism thereof is different from
that of flowing soil (quicksand), piping as well as water inrush and sand inrush in
underground mining.
The process leads to a gradual increase in porosity within the open-pit slopes, gradual
formation of large voids, a significant decrease in the shear strength index of sand, and
even failure and instability of the slopes.
The process is closely related to the dynamic evolution of pore structures in the sand
layers under the action of pore water pressure, and seepage paths formed by the
connection and closure of the pore structures; wettability of the sand layers; migration
tracks of water-sand two-phase flow; and anisotropic permeability of the sand layers.
Therefore, the wettability and permeability of sand layers, dynamic evolution rules of pore
structures with pore water pressure, and migration track rules of water-sand two-phase
flow are the key issues and difficulties in revealing the disaster-causing mechanism of
hydrodynamic sand carrying, which are of great significance for the prevention and control
of various geological disasters and the solution of engineering problems.
At present, there are relatively few experimental facilities on hydrodynamic sand
carrying, which mainly focus on piping, water inrush and sand inrush in mines. It is
relatively difficult to observe pore structures and seepage paths, and to obtain parameters
related to the wettability and permeability of sand layers, and further improvement is
required. Particularly, the research on hydrodynamic sand carrying process under the
influence of high head difference and vibration of composite slopes in open-pit mines has
not yet been carried out, and further researches on migration tracks of hydrodynamic sand
carrying, anisotropic permeability, dynamic evolution of pore structures and seepage paths
at the microscopic scale are required.
SUMMARY
In view of problems existing in the prior art, the invention provides an experimental
facility and a method for simulating hydrodynamic sand carrying under coupled action of
seepage and vibration, aiming at obtaining relevant anisotropic permeability parameters
and distribution rules of infiltration lines by simulating a hydrodynamic sand carrying process under water injection conditions such as rise and fall of groundwater level and rainwater infiltration under the action of high head difference and vibration in a laboratory, and observing the dynamic evolution of pore structures and seepage paths and the water-sand migration process, thereby revealing the migration rules of water-sand two-phase flow and the distribution characteristics of infiltration lines.

A method for carrying out an experiment by using the experimental facility for
simulating hydrodynamic sand carrying under coupled action of seepage and vibration
comprises the following steps:
(1) preparing a sand layer material in the sand box: taking a sand sample from an
open-pit coal mining slope site, washing the sample with water, filtering out fine cohesive
particles, retaining non-cohesive particles in the sand, drying until the moisture content is
zero, and weighing the total mass of dry sand; screening the dry sand by a screening method to remove particles with the particle size larger than 2mm and smaller than 0.075mm, screening and weighing masses of gravelly sand, coarse sand, medium sand, fine sand and silt with the particle size larger than 2mm, from 2 to 0.5mm, from 0.5 to 0.25mm, from 0.25 to 0.075mm, and smaller than

preparing the screened sand samples of different particle sizes into sand samples at
different grading levels in different proportions, measuring the dry density of the sand
samples respectively, and calculating the coefficient of non-uniformity C,, coefficient of
curvature Cc and porosity n of each sand sample for particle grading analysis;
(2) spreading sand in the sand box: before spreading sand, sealing all sand carrying
holes on the wall of the sand box with rubber plugs with corresponding aperture sizes,
then starting spreading sand, spreading the sand samples at a specific grading selected
by an experimental scheme uniformly in the sand box from the bottom up to form a natural
slope with a certain gradient, with the maximum sand spreading thickness being 3/4 of the
height of the sand box and the minimum sand spreading thickness being 1/4 of the height
of the sand box, then spreading a layer of 2mm thick color sand at the same grading in the
middle of the sand layer, taking out the rubber plugs from one or more sand carrying holes
with different apertures corresponding to the grading level of the sand samples, and
connecting the corresponding sand carrying holes with the water collection system through
a reducer hose;

water injection system, injecting water for simulating groundwater level control and/or
rainfall, during water injection, calibrating the dynamic distribution rules and dynamic evolution of infiltration lines in the sand layer during water injection by observing and recording scales on the wall of the sand box, collecting the distribution of infiltration lines, and closing the regulator valve after water injection;

opening the regulator valve on the hose between the water storage tank and the sand box, controlling water injection at a low flow rate, closing the regulator valve after the water is injected to the experimental design water level through the flowmeter, standing for a certain time until the sand layer is fully infiltrated, opening the regulator valve again when the maximum infiltration height is observed to be 1cm, repeating the above steps for graded water injection until the water level is 2cm higher than the sand layer, then closing the regulator valve, and standing until the water level in the sand box is stable to achieve a saturation process of the sand layer.
