Description

Tester for testing unfrozen water content of frozen soil under controllable stress state
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of frozen soil unfrozen water content measurement, and particularly relates to a frozen soil unfrozen water content testing instrument capable of controlling a stress state.
Background
The perennial frozen soil area in china accounts for 22.3% of the territorial area of china, and is the third place in the world. One of the troublesome problems faced in infrastructure construction in frozen soil areas is frost heaving and thaw collapse of soil samples, such as uneven settlement after freeze thawing of highways and railroad beds, and inclined deformation after freeze thawing of building foundations. The frost heaving and thawing sinking of the soil sample are caused by the fact that liquid water and solid ice in pores generate phase change under the action of temperature, and further the volume of the soil sample is changed. According to the existing research, the freezing of liquid water in the soil sample is a gradual process along with the reduction of temperature. At negative temperature, partial pore water in the soil sample can reduce the self energy state through capillary and adsorption action and keep the liquid state. Therefore, determining the remaining unfrozen water content of the soil sample at a certain temperature is of great significance in estimating frost heaving and thaw collapse of the soil sample.
At present, methods for testing the unfrozen water content in frozen soil mainly comprise a thermal method, a time domain reflectometer method, a computerized analysis and identification technology method, a nuclear magnetic resonance instrument method and the like. However, most of the existing test instruments based on these methods measure the unfrozen water content of the soil sample under no load, which is not consistent with the in-situ conditions under which the soil sample is usually subjected to a certain stress state. Particularly, in geotechnical engineering, the stress state of a soil sample in the freezing process is not negligible when the soil sample is frequently contacted with frozen soil of a deeper soil layer.
