Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は地下地質の特性を考慮した地層変形と流体移動の相互作用のメカニズムを高精度に解明しうるモデリング試験技術に係り、詳しくは、地下水の存在が地下の亀裂や断層などの形成に及ぼす影響、地殻変動速度が断層の形成に及ぼす影響、並びに、亀裂や断層附近の地層における流体移動特性の相対的変化と空間分布をも評価することが可能となる地質構造及び水理のモデリング装置に関するものである。
この装置は、構造地質、石油地質、地質工学、水理および廃棄物地層処分等多分野において地下地質構造および地下流体の移動を適切に予測・評価するためのモデリング試験に有用である。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
地層の変形構造をモデリングするための従来技術として、図1に示すようなサンドボックス(砂箱)法と呼ばれるものがある(例えば非特許文献1参照。)。この方法は、側壁がコ型状をした2つの箱部材を向かい合わせて底板の上に載せ、これらの箱部材を相互に水平方向に入れ子式に移動可能に構成してサンドボックスを形成する。形成されたサンドボックスの中で層状の模型地層を作製する。模型地層を変形させるためには、一方のコ型状側壁を固定し、他方のコ型状側壁を底板にそって水平方向に移動させる。変形後の地層構造を観測するためには、コ型状側壁を透明な材料で形成しサンドボックスの横から直接観測するか、あるいは地層の試料を樹脂などの固化剤で固め、評価したい断面に沿って切断・研磨し、観察を行う。近年ではX線スキャナーを利用し、試料内部の観察も可能となっている。地層をモデリングするための試料として、乾燥した砂、粘土、ガラスビーズおよび剛球等が使用されている。
一方、地層における流体移動状態をモデリングするために、図2に示すような土槽若しくは水槽を用いた水理試験が実施されている(例えば特許文献1参照。)。この装置は、透明な正面および背面板から構成されるセルの両端に空気を流入および真空を引くための小孔を有するケーシング井戸をそれぞれ最低一本ずつ設置する。その後、セルにポーラス材料を充填し、少なくとも一種類の液体で飽和させる。セルの上部を閉鎖した後、片方のケーシング井戸から真空を引き、セルの正面と背面の間にγ線若しくはX線を透過して計測し、複数点の計測結果をマッピングすることによって含水比の空間分布を評価する。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のようなサンドボックス法は地層のマクロ的な変形構造をモデリングするための唯一かつ有効な室内試験法として構造地質および石油地質などの分野で広く利用されてきている。しかし近年、環境保全や核廃棄物を含む各種廃棄物の地層処分施設の長期的安全性評価においては、地下地質の構造のみならず、それにおける流体移動特性も同時に測定・評価することが要求されるようになってきており、従来のモデリング試験装置では以下のような点で、このような新しいニーズに応えることができない。
(1) 流体の存在が地層の変形に及ぼす影響を評価することができない。実際に地下では地下水が存在し、地層の変形、特に流体移動を支配するマイクロ的構造の形成に強く影響を与える。
(2)変形を受けた地層は構造的に非均質および異方性をもっている。従来のモデリング試験技術ではこれらの特性が地層の浸透流特性に及ぼす影響を評価することができない。
(3) 土槽を用いた従来の水理モデリング試験では均質に充填した模型地層における流体の流れ試験しかできない。実際の地層は理想的でなく、長年の地殻変動を受けたものである。特に高レベル放射性廃棄物地層処分の場合では、施設建設後でも十万年に及ぶ超長期的安全性を評価しなければならないが、地殻変動の影響を考慮した地下水移動の予測が必要不可欠となっている。
【0005】
本発明は、上述した従来技術の問題点を解消し、地下水の存在を考慮した地層変形のモデリング試験装置を提供することを第1の目的とする。
また、本発明は変形させた模型地層をその場で水平または垂直の何れの方向にも浸透流試験ができる装置を提供することを第2の目的とする。
また、本発明は変形試験後の模型地層を崩さずにサンプリングし、その浸透率の空間分布をも測定できる装置を提供することを第3の目的とする。
【0006】

また、本発明の地質構造及び水理のモデリング装置は、矩形土槽内に作製された模擬地層の水平方向の浸透流試験を行うため、載荷板に透過孔を設け、該透過孔から注入される試験流体をスペーサーにより形成される槽状空間、有孔性剛性板及び多孔質フィルター板の下部を介して供給可能とすることを特徴とする。
また、本発明の地質構造及び水理のモデリング装置は、矩形土槽を組立式の正面透明板又は背面透明板の側に傾斜可能な傾斜機構を備え、矩形土槽を傾斜させた状態で正面透明板又は背面透明板を分解し模擬地層の任意の場所においてサンプリング可能とすることを特徴とする。
また、本発明の地質構造及び水理のモデリング装置は、サンプル容器の挿入可能な多数のガイド孔を穿設したサンプリング用透明ガイド板を備えることを特徴とする。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明による実施の形態を図面に基づき説明する。
図3は、本発明の実施の形態に係る地質構造及び水理のモデリング装置の構成を示す正面図、図4は、同平面図、図5は、図4のA−A断面図、図6は、図3のB−B断面図である。
【0008】
矩形土槽T内に収容・作製される模型地層Gは測定評価の対象であり、目的に応じて矩形土槽T内で単層または多層に作製される。模型試験によく利用される試料としては、例えば、砂や粘土などがあげられるが、目的に応じてガラスビーズ及びシリコンパウダー等種々のものを利用できる。
【0009】
矩形土槽Tは底板1、前方固定側板2、後方固定側板3、目盛付き正面剛性透明板4および目盛付き背面剛性透明板5から構成される。正面および背面の剛性透明板4、5の劣化防止および透明度を保つためにはそれぞれの内側に簡易に取り替えられる透明なライナー板L1、L2を付設する。具体的に、本実施例では、正面および背面剛性透明板4、5に厚さ20mmのアクリル板を使用し、その中央および周辺をステンレス板で補強した。また、ライナー板L1、L2として厚さ5mmのアクリル板を採用した。
【0010】
載荷板8は模型地層Gに水平な力を加え、模型地層Gを変形させるためのものであり、図5及び図6に示すように矩形土槽Tのライナー板L1、L2及び底板1に密着して左右方向に摺動できるように設けられている。載荷板8には追随式二重止水パッキング6、偏荷重による傾斜を防止するための載荷板傾斜防止機構7、模型地層Gの水平方向における浸透流試験を行うためのスペーサーS3、有孔剛性板P3、多孔質フィルター板(または不透過性板)F3、浸透流試験用透過孔及び付随配管V3が備えられている。追随式二重止水パッキング6は載荷板8が移動しても常に止水できる構造となり、高弾性ゴムが使用されている。
【0011】
載荷板8に荷重を載荷又は除荷するための載荷・除荷装置9は、載荷・除荷制御装置10によって自動的に、または手動ハンドル11による手動で載荷又は除荷が任意に切り替えられる。載荷・除荷装置9で発生した荷重は荷重計12を介して載荷板8に伝えられる。載荷・除荷制御装置10は自動および手動で載荷/除荷の切換、載荷速度の制御が行える。例えば、本実施例では、長さ100cm模型地層を最大50cmまで圧縮される場合、載荷時間を1時間から10時間の間で任意に設定できる。また、載荷・除荷装置は最大50KN(5トン)の推力を発生することができる。普通模型地層の高さは土槽高さ60cmの半分程度であり、幅11.4cmの土槽に対して、模型地層に約1400kPaの圧力を加えることが可能である。載荷・除荷用手動ハンドル11は試験前若しくは試験後に載荷板の位置を調整する際に利用される。
荷重計12及び変位計13は試験時の荷重及び変位量を検出するものであり、これらの出力は監視計測装置14により表示、必要であれば、他の記録媒体に転送することも可能である。
【0012】
剛性ガイド板15は載荷板傾斜防止機構7を水平方向に沿ってガイドを行うものであり、ステンレス板が使用されている。
保持具16は正面および背面の目盛り付透明板4、5の補強枠に装着し、試験時矩形土槽の横変形を防げるとともに、剛性ガイド板15を抑える役割をも果たす。
蓋17は必要のある場合のみ使用し、スペーサーS4、有孔剛性板P4および浸透流試験用透過孔V4が備えられている。
二本のタイロット18は矩形土槽全体の剛性を高めるためのものである。
台座19は矩形土槽Tおよび載荷・除荷装置9などを設置するためのものであり、高さは試験作業の便利さを考慮して決められている。
【0013】
図7及び図8は、矩形土槽Tを傾斜させる機構を示す側面図である。
土槽傾斜用ハンドル20を回転させることによって、主動土槽傾斜機構21と受動土槽傾斜機構22が連動チェーン23によって連動され、矩形土槽T全体を最大45°まで傾斜させることができる。これによって、正面剛性透明板4および正面透明ライナー板L1を取り外し、土槽から任意の場所でサンプリングを行う際、自重による模型地層Gの崩れを防止することが可能である。
【0014】
複数の押さえネジ24は目盛り付剛性透明板4、5および透明ライナー板L1、L2を土槽として組み立て、または分解するときに使用するものであり、目盛り付剛性透明板4、5の周辺に取り付けた金属補強枠を介して剛性透明板4、5に均等に当てる。
複数の土槽底板固定ネジ25は矩形土槽Tを台座19の上にしっかりと固定するためのものである。
スペーサーS1〜S4はそれぞれの処で狭い槽状の空間を構築し、浸透流試験用の流体を迅速かつ抵抗なく全槽状空間に行き渡るための構造である。
有孔剛性板P1〜P4はそれぞれの処で構築した槽状空間から流入してきた流体を比較的均等に模型地層Gの透過性を調査しようとする断面に分散させ、また、それぞれの多孔質フィルター板もしくは不透過性板F1〜F3の支え構造にもなる。多孔質フィルター板との接触面を除いた不透過性板の周囲には止水のためのゴムシートを貼り付けられている。
【0015】
多孔質フィルター板F1〜F2は浸透流体をさらに均等に模型地層の透過性を調査しようとする断面に分散させ、また、模型地層G試料の流失を防げる役割を果たすものである。具体的にはパールコーンなどが利用される。
止水パッキングR1〜R4は矩形土槽T全体を止水構造としてく組み立てるためのものである。
浸透流試験用透過孔および付随配管V1〜V4はそれぞれの処で構築した槽状空間に浸透流体を流入又は流出させるためのものである。
透明なライナー板L1、L2は模型地層Gと矩形土槽Tの側面との間で発生する擦り合いが目盛り付けの正面および背面剛性透明板4、5に損傷を与えないようにし、土槽正面および背面の透明度を保つ役割をする。
【0016】
次に、試験の準備段階としての矩形土槽Tの組立手順について述べる。
先ず、矩形土槽Tの前方固定側板2の内側にスペーサーS2、有孔剛性板P2および多孔質フィルターF2を順番にセットする。模型地層Gの垂直方向の浸透流試験を行う場合には多孔質フィルターF2を使用せず、代わりに不透過性板を使用する。その後、土槽の底板1にスペーサーS1、有孔剛性板P1および多孔質フィルターF1を順番にセットする。多孔質フィルターF1の長さは模型地層Gが最終的に圧縮された長さに見合ったものを使用し、残りの部分は多孔質フィルターと同じ厚さの不透過性板を使用する。同様、模型地層Gの水平方向の浸透流を行う場合には、有孔剛性板P1の上を不透過性板のみ使用する。その後、目盛付き正面剛性透明板4および目盛付き背面剛性透明板5および正、背面透明ライナーL1、L2をそれぞれ所定の位置にはめ込む。その後、載荷板8を矩形土槽B内に装着し、載荷板8の位置を載荷・除荷用手動ハンドル11によって所定の位置まで調整する。その後、複数の押さえネジ24を均等に締め付けて矩形土槽Tの組立を完了する。その後、載荷・除荷制御装置10によって載荷・除荷装置を作動させ、載荷板8が負荷しない状態での摩擦力を測定しておく。この場合、摩擦力は荷重計12により検出し、監視計測装置14によって表示される。
【0017】
次に、組み立てられた矩形土槽T内で模型地層Gを作製する手順を述べる。
乾燥状態の模型地層を作製するためには、乾燥した試料を用い、矩形土槽T内で層毎に均等に入れ、タンパーで所定の密度と所定の高さまで締め固める。このとき、模型地層の密度は入れた試料の重量と土槽内での容積から計算される。湿潤状態の模型地層を作製するためには、事前に試料に所定の含水比で試料を用意し、同様な手順で所定の密度まで締め固める。完全飽和状態の模型地層を作製するためには、矩形土槽内に予め適当な深度の水を入れて、その中に試料を均等に充填し、同じく所定の密度と高さまで締め固めるか、乾燥または湿潤状態の模型地層を飽和させることによっても作製が可能である。模型地層の作製が完了した後、剛性ガイド板15を土槽Tの上部に載せ、保持具によって固定する。土槽Tの残りの開口部には蓋17をかける。その後、タイロット18をセットし、適度に締め付ける。
【0018】
次に、模型地層Gを変形させる過程について説明する。
上記の通り作製した模型地層Gに載荷板8を介して、水平方向に力を加えて圧縮させる。これは自然界における地殻変動の主な要因として、プレート間の相対的水平移動によるものと認識されているためである。この場合、載荷速度は載荷・除荷制御装置10によって所定のレベルに制御できる。また、載荷荷重と水平変形量はそれぞれ荷重計12と変位計13で検出され、監視計測装置14によって表示される。なお、実際に模型地層に加えられた荷重は変形試験時の測定値と準備段階で計測した載荷板8と土槽内部との摩擦力との差である。圧縮されている模型地層Gの変形様子、即ち、模型地層Gに発生する褶曲やクラック及び断層等の様子を観測し、記録を行う。具体的には、ビデオカメラを用い、連続的に撮影を行う。また、カメラやデジカメなどを用い、代表的な変形状態の様子をも撮影できる。模型地層Gが所定の長さまで圧縮された時点で圧縮変形試験が終了する。当然なことでありながら、圧縮変形試験の途中でも、必要に応じて変形試験を一旦停止させたりすることも可能である。
【0019】
次に、前述のように変形させた模型地層Gをその場で垂直方向の浸透流試験を行う際の手順について説明する。
垂直方向における浸透流試験を行い、模型地層Gにおける流体の流れ様子を観測、撮影するためには、矩形土槽T底部で構築した狭い槽状空間とつながっている透過孔V1から試験流体、例えば、着色流体を注入させ、流体がスペーサーS1により構築した槽状空間、有孔剛性板P1および多孔質フィルター板F1を介して模型地層Gの下部に均等に浸透させる。模型地層Gを透過し、地層の上部に達していたら浸透流試験を終了する。この場合、自然界おける地下深部からの上昇水の流れをシミュレートすることができる。高レベル放射性廃棄物地層処分の場合でも、基本的に地下深部で汚染された水がどのように地表の付近である生活圏まで到達することを評価しなければならない。逆に、蓋17にある浸透流試験用透過孔V4から着色流体を注入し、流体がスペーサーS4により構築した槽状空間および有孔剛性板P4を介して、模型地層Gの上部に均等に吹きかける。模型地層Gを透過し、地層の下部に到達した流体は土槽の下部に敷設した多孔質フィルター板F1、有孔剛性板P1、スペーサーS1により構築した槽状空間を通して、浸透流試験用透過孔V1によって排出される。この場合では、地表水が地下深部に浸透していく流れをシミュレートすることができる。その際、ビデオカメラ等の測定・観測手段を用いて地表水が地下深部に浸透していく流れを測定・観測し、記録する。なお、垂直方向における浸透流試験を行うためには、試験準備段階において事前に前方固定側板2の内側に設置する多孔質フィルター板F2および載荷板8の内側に設置する多孔質フィルター板F3を不透過性板に交換しておく必要がある。
【0020】
次に、模型地層Gにおける水平方向の浸透流試験について説明を行う。
この場合、事前に矩形土槽Tの底部に敷設する多孔質フィルター板F1を不透過性板に交換しておく必要があるが、蓋17は使用する必要がない。前述した垂直方向における浸透試験と同じ条件で模型地層Gを作製し、同じ載荷条件で変形をさせる。その後、模型地層Gの上部に露出した多孔質フィルター板F2およびF3の表面に止水ゲールシートを貼り付ける。また、模型地層Gの上部に止水シートをかけ、適度な重みを加える。例えば、薄い粘土ケーキで被覆を行う。水平方向の浸透流試験を行い、模型地層Gにおける流体移動様子を可視し、撮影するためには、載荷板8に付設した浸透流試験用透過孔V3から試験流体、例えば、着色流体を流入させる。この浸透流体はスペーサーS3で構築した槽状空間、有孔剛性板P3および多孔質フィルター板F3の下部を介して模型地層Gに均等に浸透させる。模型地層Gを透過した流体は前方側の多孔質フィルター板F2、有孔剛性板P2およびスペーサーS2で構築した槽状空間の下部を経由し、浸透流試験用透過孔V2によって流出する。その際、ビデオカメラ等の測定・観測手段を用いて浸透流体の浸透していく状態を測定・観測し、記録する。地層の水平方向における流体移動を正確に予測評価することは石油や地熱などに代表される地下流体資源開発分野において極めて重要である。
【0021】
最後に、目盛付き正面剛性透明板4および目盛付き背面剛性透明板5に直交した方向の浸透性を評価するために試験体をサンプリングする方法について述べる。
垂直または水平方向の浸透流試験を終了した後、14個の土槽底板固定ネジ25を外す。その後、順番にタイロット18、蓋17、保持具16、剛性ガイド板15を取り外す。その後、土槽傾斜用ハンドル20を回転させ、連動チェーン23によって主動傾斜機構21および受動傾斜機構22が同じように動作させ、矩形土槽T全体を最大45°まで傾斜させる(図7、図8)。その後、正面剛性透明板4の押さえネジ24をゆるめ、正面剛性透明板4およびライナーL1を順番に取り外す。このように傾斜させた土槽からは、自重による模型地層試料の崩れを防止した状態で、必要とする個数分を順次に採取することが可能である。
図9は、試験体をサンプリングする際に便利なサンプリング用透明ガイド板26の斜視図である。試料採取に当たっては、サンプリング用透明ガイド板26を模型地層試料の表面に沿わせて固定し、サンプリング用透明ガイド板26に穿設された多数のガイド孔27に図示しない円筒状をしたサンプル容器を挿入して試料をサンプル容器内に採取する。
採取された試験体は従来の室内透水または透気試験法を用い、浸透性を評価することができる。通常、地層の内部では変形を与える力に直交した方向に亀裂や断層を発生し、この亀裂や断層に沿った方向の流体の流れやすさが最も大きい。各種廃棄物地層処分施設の安全性評価では、この最大流れやすさを正確に予測評価することが肝要である。これは汚染物質の到達範囲を評価する際に必要とされるためである。
【0022】
前述したように同じ条件下で模型地層を2回作製し、同じ載荷条件で変形させ、変形されたそれぞれの模型地層に対して垂直方向、水平方向、さらに目盛付き正面剛性透明板4および目盛付き背面剛性透明板5に直交した方向の浸透性を三次元的に評価することが可能である。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、従来の地層変形のモデリング試験技術で評価ができていなかった地下水の存在が地下の亀裂や断層などの形成に及ぼす影響を評価できるようになった。また、変形された模型地層における浸透流特性の三次元的空間分布も評価できるようになった。
本装置は地層における流体移動を予測評価するあらゆる分野において有用であり、特に天然バリアとして期待されている地層の隔離性や遮蔽性を正確に予測評価する必要のある廃棄物地層処分などに関連する環境制御技術分野において極めて重要なものとなる。
また、作製した模型地層に載荷板を介して水平方向に力を加えて圧縮させようにしたため、模擬地層を最大50パーセント以上水平に圧縮させることができ、しかも自由に移動することができる。
さらに、試験目的に応じて変形させた地層をその場で垂直または水平方向の浸透流試験ができる。
また、試験装置の矩形土槽全体を傾斜させて正面の板を分解し、模擬地層の崩れを防止した状態で、任意の場所おいてサンプリングホルダによるサンプリングができる。

[Prior art]
As a conventional technique for modeling a deformed structure of a stratum, there is a technique called a sandbox method as shown in FIG. 1 (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). In this method, two box members each having a U-shaped side wall are placed on a bottom plate facing each other, and these box members are configured so as to be nested in a horizontal direction with respect to each other to form a sandbox. A layered model stratum is created in the formed sandbox. In order to deform the model formation, one U-shaped side wall is fixed, and the other U-shaped side wall is moved in a horizontal direction along the bottom plate. In order to observe the deformed stratum structure, the U-shaped side wall is formed of a transparent material and observed directly from the side of the sandbox, or the stratum sample is solidified with a solidifying agent such as resin and the cross section to be evaluated is obtained. Cut and polish along and observe. In recent years, the inside of a sample can be observed using an X-ray scanner.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The sandbox method as described above has been widely used in the fields of structural geology and petroleum geology as the only and effective laboratory test method for modeling the macroscopic deformation structure of the formation. However, in recent years, in the long-term safety assessment of geological disposal facilities for various types of waste including nuclear waste, it is necessary to simultaneously measure and evaluate not only the structure of the underground geology but also the fluid transfer characteristics in it. The conventional modeling test apparatus cannot meet such new needs in the following points.
(1) The effect of the presence of fluid on the deformation of the stratum cannot be evaluated. In fact, groundwater exists underground and strongly affects the deformation of strata, especially the formation of microstructures that govern fluid movement.
(2) The deformed stratum is structurally heterogeneous and anisotropic. Conventional modeling test techniques cannot assess the effects of these properties on formation seepage characteristics.
(3) In the conventional hydraulic modeling test using an earth tank, only a fluid flow test in a homogeneously filled model formation can be performed. The actual strata are not ideal and have been subject to years of crustal deformation. Especially in the case of geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, it is necessary to evaluate the ultra-long-term safety of 100,000 years even after the construction of the facility, but it is essential to predict groundwater movement taking into account the effects of crustal deformation. ing.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
3 is a front view showing the configuration of the geological structure and hydraulic modeling apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. FIG. 4 is a BB cross-sectional view of FIG. 3.
[0008]
The model stratum G accommodated and produced in the rectangular earthen vessel T is a target of measurement and evaluation, and is produced in the rectangular earthen vessel T in a single layer or a multilayer according to the purpose. Samples often used for the model test include, for example, sand and clay, but various types such as glass beads and silicon powder can be used according to the purpose.
[0009]
The rectangular earthen vessel T is composed of a bottom plate 1, a front fixed side plate 2, a rear fixed side plate 3, a front rigid transparent plate 4 with scale, and a rear rigid transparent plate 5 with scale. In order to prevent the deterioration of the rigid transparent plates 4 and 5 on the front and rear sides and to maintain the transparency, transparent liner plates L1 and L2 which can be easily replaced are provided inside each of them. Specifically, in this embodiment, an acrylic plate having a thickness of 20 mm was used for the front and rear rigid transparent plates 4 and 5, and the center and the periphery thereof were reinforced with a stainless plate. In addition, an acrylic plate having a thickness of 5 mm was adopted as the liner plates L1 and L2.
[0010]
The loading plate 8 is for applying a horizontal force to the model stratum G to deform the model stratum G, and is in close contact with the liner plates L1, L2 and the bottom plate 1 of the rectangular earthen tank T as shown in FIGS. It is provided so that it can slide in the left-right direction. The loading plate 8 has a follow-up double waterproof packing 6, a loading plate inclination preventing mechanism 7 for preventing inclination due to an unbalanced load, a spacer S3 for performing a seepage flow test in the horizontal direction of the model formation G, a perforated rigidity. A plate P3, a porous filter plate (or impermeable plate) F3, a permeation hole for permeation flow test, and an associated pipe V3 are provided. The followable double water-stop packing 6 has a structure that can always stop water even when the loading plate 8 moves, and is made of high elastic rubber.
[0011]
The loading / unloading device 9 for loading or unloading the load on the loading plate 8 can be arbitrarily switched between loading and unloading automatically by the loading / unloading control device 10 or manually by the manual handle 11. The load generated by the loading / unloading device 9 is transmitted to the loading plate 8 via the load cell 12. The loading / unloading control device 10 can automatically and manually switch between loading and unloading and control the loading speed. For example, in the present embodiment, when a 100 cm long model formation is compressed to a maximum of 50 cm, the loading time can be set arbitrarily between 1 hour and 10 hours. The loading / unloading device can generate a maximum thrust of 50 KN (5 tons). The height of the ordinary model formation is about half of the height of the earthen tub of 60 cm, and a pressure of about 1400 kPa can be applied to the model formation with respect to the earthen tub having a width of 11.4 cm. The loading / unloading manual handle 11 is used when adjusting the position of the loading plate before or after the test.
The load meter 12 and the displacement meter 13 detect the load and the displacement during the test, and their outputs are displayed by the monitoring and measuring device 14 and can be transferred to another recording medium if necessary. .
[0012]
The rigid guide plate 15 guides the loading plate inclination preventing mechanism 7 along the horizontal direction, and is made of a stainless steel plate.
The holder 16 is attached to the reinforcing frames of the front and rear scaled transparent plates 4 and 5 to prevent the lateral deformation of the rectangular earthen tank at the time of the test, and also to suppress the rigid guide plate 15.
The lid 17 is used only when necessary, and is provided with a spacer S4, a perforated rigid plate P4, and a permeation test V4.
The two tie lots 18 are for increasing the rigidity of the entire rectangular earthen tank.
The pedestal 19 is for installing the rectangular earth tank T, the loading / unloading device 9, and the like, and the height is determined in consideration of the convenience of the test operation.
[0013]
7 and 8 are side views showing a mechanism for inclining the rectangular earthen tub T. FIG.
By rotating the earth tank tilting handle 20, the driving earth tank tilt mechanism 21 and the passive earth tank tilt mechanism 22 are linked by the interlocking chain 23, and the entire rectangular earth tank T can be tilted up to 45 °. Thus, when the front rigid transparent plate 4 and the front transparent liner plate L1 are removed and sampling is performed at an arbitrary place from the earthen tub, it is possible to prevent collapse of the model formation G due to its own weight.
[0014]
The plurality of cap screws 24 are used when assembling or disassembling the rigid rigid transparent plates 4 and 5 and the transparent liner plates L1 and L2 as earth tanks, and attached around the rigid transparent plates 4 and 5 with the calibration. It is evenly applied to the rigid transparent plates 4 and 5 via the metal reinforcing frame.
The plurality of earth tank bottom plate fixing screws 25 are for securely fixing the rectangular earth tank T on the pedestal 19.
The spacers S1 to S4 are structures for constructing a narrow tank-shaped space in each place, and for spreading the fluid for the permeation flow test quickly and without resistance to the entire tank-shaped space.
The perforated rigid plates P1 to P4 disperse the fluid flowing from the tank-shaped space constructed in each place relatively uniformly over the cross section where the permeability of the model formation G is to be investigated. It also serves as a support structure for the plates or the impermeable plates F1 to F3. A rubber sheet for waterproofing is attached around the impermeable plate except for the contact surface with the porous filter plate.
[0015]
The porous filter plates F1 and F2 serve to more evenly disperse the permeating fluid over the cross section where the permeability of the model formation is to be investigated and to prevent the sample of the model formation G from flowing out. Specifically, pearl corn or the like is used.
The waterproof packings R1 to R4 are used to assemble the entire rectangular earth tank T as a waterproof structure.
The permeation hole for the permeation flow test and the associated pipes V1 to V4 are for allowing the permeation fluid to flow into or out of the tank-shaped space constructed at each location.
The transparent liner plates L1 and L2 prevent the friction between the model stratum G and the side surface of the rectangular earthen tank T from damaging the front and rear rigid transparent plates 4 and 5 on the scale. And keeps the back transparent.
[0016]
Next, a procedure for assembling the rectangular earthen tank T as a preparation stage of the test will be described.
First, the spacer S2, the perforated rigid plate P2, and the porous filter F2 are sequentially set inside the front fixed side plate 2 of the rectangular earthen vessel T. When performing a vertical seepage test of the model formation G, the porous filter F2 is not used, and an impermeable plate is used instead. After that, the spacer S1, the perforated rigid plate P1, and the porous filter F1 are sequentially set on the bottom plate 1 of the earthen tub. The length of the porous filter F1 is the length corresponding to the final compression of the model formation G, and the remaining portion uses an impermeable plate having the same thickness as the porous filter. Similarly, when the seepage flow of the model formation G is performed in the horizontal direction, only the impermeable plate is used on the perforated rigid plate P1. Thereafter, the front rigid transparent plate 4 with the scale, the rear rigid transparent plate 5 with the scale, and the positive and rear transparent liners L1 and L2 are fitted into predetermined positions, respectively. Thereafter, the loading plate 8 is mounted in the rectangular earth tank B, and the position of the loading plate 8 is adjusted to a predetermined position by the loading / unloading manual handle 11. Thereafter, the plurality of holding screws 24 are evenly tightened to complete the assembly of the rectangular earthen tub T. Thereafter, the loading / unloading device is operated by the loading / unloading control device 10 to measure the frictional force when the loading plate 8 is not loaded. In this case, the friction force is detected by the load meter 12 and displayed by the monitoring and measuring device 14.
[0017]
Next, a procedure for producing the model stratum G in the assembled rectangular earthen vessel T will be described.
In order to produce a dry model stratum, a dry sample is used, and is placed evenly in each layer in a rectangular earthen vessel T, and is compacted to a predetermined density and a predetermined height by a tamper. At this time, the density of the model formation is calculated from the weight of the put sample and the volume in the earth tank. In order to prepare a wet model formation, a sample is prepared in advance with a predetermined water content ratio and compacted to a predetermined density in the same procedure. In order to prepare a fully saturated model formation, fill a rectangular earthen tank with water of an appropriate depth in advance, fill the sample uniformly, and compact it to the specified density and height, or dry it. Alternatively, it can also be produced by saturating a wet model formation. After the production of the model stratum is completed, the rigid guide plate 15 is placed on the upper part of the earthen tub T, and is fixed by the holder. The lid 17 is put on the remaining opening of the earthen tub T. Thereafter, the tie lot 18 is set and tightened appropriately.
[0018]
Next, a process of deforming the model formation G will be described.
The model formation G produced as described above is compressed by applying a force in the horizontal direction via the loading plate 8. This is because it is recognized that the main cause of crustal deformation in the natural world is the relative horizontal movement between plates. In this case, the loading speed can be controlled to a predetermined level by the loading / unloading control device 10. The applied load and the amount of horizontal deformation are detected by the load meter 12 and the displacement meter 13, respectively, and displayed by the monitoring and measuring device 14. The load actually applied to the model formation is the difference between the measured value at the time of the deformation test and the frictional force between the loading plate 8 and the inside of the earth tank measured at the preparation stage. The state of deformation of the compressed model stratum G, that is, the state of folds, cracks, faults, etc. occurring in the model stratum G is observed and recorded. Specifically, a video camera is used to continuously shoot. In addition, a typical deformed state can be photographed using a camera or a digital camera. The compression deformation test ends when the model formation G is compressed to a predetermined length. As a matter of course, even during the compression deformation test, it is possible to temporarily stop the deformation test as needed.
[0019]
Next, a procedure for performing a permeation test in the vertical direction on the model ground G deformed as described above will be described.
In order to conduct a permeation flow test in the vertical direction and observe and photograph the flow state of the fluid in the model formation G, a test fluid, for example, a test fluid, for example, from the through hole V1 connected to the narrow tank-shaped space constructed at the bottom of the rectangular earthen tank T, Then, a coloring fluid is injected, and the fluid is uniformly penetrated into the lower portion of the model formation G through the tank-shaped space constructed by the spacer S1, the perforated rigid plate P1, and the porous filter plate F1. The permeation flow test is terminated when the water has passed through the model formation G and reached the upper part of the formation. In this case, it is possible to simulate the flow of rising water from deep underground in the natural world. Even in the case of geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste, it must be evaluated how basically contaminated water deep underground reaches the living area near the surface. Conversely, a coloring fluid is injected from the permeation flow test perforation hole V4 in the lid 17, and the fluid is evenly sprayed on the upper part of the model formation G through the tank-shaped space constructed by the spacer S4 and the perforated rigid plate P4. . The fluid that has passed through the model formation G and reached the lower part of the formation passes through the tank-like space constructed by the porous filter plate F1, the perforated rigid plate P1, and the spacer S1 laid under the earth tank, and the permeation hole for the permeation flow test. Discharged by V1. In this case, it is possible to simulate the flow of surface water penetrating deep underground. At this time, the flow of surface water permeating deep into the underground is measured, observed, and recorded using measurement and observation means such as a video camera. In order to perform the permeation flow test in the vertical direction, the porous filter plate F2 installed inside the front fixed side plate 2 and the porous filter plate F3 installed inside the loading plate 8 must be in advance in the test preparation stage. It is necessary to replace it with a transparent plate.
[0020]
Next, a description will be given of a horizontal seepage flow test in the model formation G.
In this case, it is necessary to replace the porous filter plate F1 laid on the bottom of the rectangular earthen tank T with an impermeable plate in advance, but the lid 17 does not need to be used. The model stratum G is produced under the same conditions as the above-described penetration test in the vertical direction, and deformed under the same loading conditions. Thereafter, a water blocking gale sheet is attached to the surfaces of the porous filter plates F2 and F3 exposed above the model formation G. In addition, a waterproof sheet is placed on the upper part of the model stratum G, and an appropriate weight is applied. For example, coating with a thin clay cake. In order to perform a seepage test in the horizontal direction and visualize and photograph the state of fluid movement in the model stratum G, a test fluid, for example, a coloring fluid, flows through the penetration hole V3 for the seepage test attached to the loading plate 8. . This permeating fluid is uniformly permeated into the model formation G through the tank-shaped space constructed by the spacer S3, the perforated rigid plate P3, and the lower portion of the porous filter plate F3. The fluid that has passed through the model formation G passes through the lower portion of the tank-shaped space formed by the front porous filter plate F2, the perforated rigid plate P2, and the spacer S2, and flows out through the permeation hole V2 for permeation flow test. At this time, the permeation state of the permeating fluid is measured, observed, and recorded using a measuring and observing means such as a video camera. Accurate prediction and evaluation of fluid movement in the horizontal direction of the stratum is extremely important in the field of underground fluid resource development represented by petroleum and geothermal.
[0021]
Finally, a method of sampling a test specimen in order to evaluate the permeability in a direction perpendicular to the scaled front rigid transparent plate 4 and the scaled rear rigid transparent plate 5 will be described.
After finishing the vertical or horizontal seepage test, the 14 bottom plate fixing screws 25 are removed. Thereafter, the tie lot 18, the lid 17, the holder 16, and the rigid guide plate 15 are sequentially removed. Thereafter, the handle 20 for tilting the earthen tank is rotated, and the driving tilt mechanism 21 and the passive tilt mechanism 22 are operated in the same manner by the interlocking chain 23 to tilt the entire rectangular earthen tank T up to 45 ° (FIGS. 7 and 8). ). Thereafter, the set screw 24 of the front rigid transparent plate 4 is loosened, and the front rigid transparent plate 4 and the liner L1 are sequentially removed. From the earthen tank inclined in this way, it is possible to sequentially collect the required number of pieces in a state in which the model stratum sample is prevented from collapsing due to its own weight.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view of a transparent guide plate 26 for sampling which is convenient when sampling a specimen. At the time of sampling, a transparent guide plate 26 for sampling is fixed along the surface of the model formation sample, and a cylindrical sample container (not shown) is inserted into a number of guide holes 27 formed in the transparent guide plate 26 for sampling. Insert and collect the sample into the sample container.
The collected test specimens can be evaluated for permeability using a conventional indoor water permeability or air permeability test method. Normally, cracks and faults are generated in the direction perpendicular to the force giving deformation inside the stratum, and the flow of fluid in the direction along the cracks and faults is greatest. In the safety evaluation of various types of waste geological disposal facilities, it is important to accurately predict and evaluate this maximum ease of flow. This is because it is needed when assessing the reach of contaminants.
[0022]
As described above, a model stratum is produced twice under the same conditions, deformed under the same loading conditions, and each deformed model stratum is vertically and horizontally oriented, and furthermore, a front rigid transparent plate 4 with a scale and a scale is provided. It is possible to three-dimensionally evaluate the permeability in the direction perpendicular to the rear rigid transparent plate 5.
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, it became possible to evaluate the influence which the presence of groundwater had on the formation of underground cracks, faults, etc. which could not be evaluated by the conventional modeling test technique of formation deformation. In addition, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of seepage flow characteristics in the deformed model formation can be evaluated.
This device is useful in all fields of predicting and evaluating fluid movement in the formation, especially for geological disposal of waste that requires accurate prediction and evaluation of the isolation and shielding properties of the formation expected as a natural barrier. This is extremely important in the field of environmental control technology.
In addition, since the produced model stratum is compressed by applying a force in the horizontal direction via the loading plate, the simulated stratum can be horizontally compressed by 50% or more at the maximum and can move freely.
In addition, a vertical or horizontal seepage test can be performed on the formation that has been deformed according to the purpose of the test.
In addition, sampling can be performed by a sampling holder at an arbitrary place in a state where the entire rectangular earthen tank of the test apparatus is inclined to disassemble the front plate and prevent the simulated formation from collapsing.
