Description

Moisture transition process follow-up mechanism and its experimental method in a kind of frozen soil
Technical field
The present invention relates to moisture transition process follow-up mechanism and its experimental method in a kind of frozen soil, the indoor geotechnological low temperature examination of category Test technical field.
Background technology
Frozen soil, as a kind of Subgrade soil in engineering, it is distributed widely in the areas such as China northeast, North China, northwest.With The engineering construction such as the fast development of China's economy, the railway of Frozen Ground Area, road, water conservancy, pipeline vigorously promotes, and permafrost region is native Body moisture in freezing process crystallizes into the frost heave that ice causes soil particle displacement and formed, and melting of being thus derived it is sunken, Rise soil, the disease such as lifting by frost, be all the problem for perplexing the engineering constructions such as permafrost region railway, road all the time, be also domestic The focal issue of outer frozen soil scholar research.
Domestic and international researcher is it is believed that the frost heave of the soil body is made up of frost heave in situ and fractional condensation frost heave, and segregates frost heave It is the fundamental component of body frost heaving.Fractional condensation frost heave be by water translocation in frozen soil and in the soil body certain position generation segregated ice and Caused, what the driving force of wherein water translocation came from thermograde induction does not freeze water potential gradient.As can be seen here, frozen soil is studied In water translocation process, the forming process of the forming process of ice crystal and freezing front, to disclose Frost heave of frozen soil breed evolution, Disaster mechanism, propose that effective freezing prevention measure has highly important practical meaning in engineering.However, experimental facilities, experiment Technology, the scarcity of means are all that Moisture Transfer Rule research is difficult to deep bottleneck in frozen soil all the time;It is general at present both at home and abroad All over using the Moisture Transfer Rule in two ways research Freezing Soils, freeze front and rear difference first, being tested using oven drying method The method of height and position water content of soil, this method are only capable of obtaining the water content distribution state before and after freezing soil, can not be to water Transition process is divided to be analyzed;Second, using the change of native cylinder water content in moisture transducer test freezing process, this method Though can be monitored to water translocation process, visuality is a lack of, while the test of water content is also mostly volumetric(al) moisture content.
Therefore there is an urgent need to it is a kind of can be easily to moisture transition process is tracked in frozen soil method.
The content of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is to provide a kind of strong frozen soil reclaimed water simple in construction, easy to operate, visual Divide transition process follow-up mechanism and its experimental method.
In order to solve the above technical problems, apparatus of the present invention are adopted the technical scheme that:Water translocation in a kind of frozen soil Journey follow-up mechanism, its key technology are:It includes soil sample groove, upper cryostat plate and lower cryostat groove;
