膨润土作为缓冲或回填材料,具有吸水性极强、膨胀性较大、渗透性极低等特性。膨润土在饱和状态与非饱和状态之间转换时,因其湿胀干缩产生的裂缝会导致工程屏障受到破坏。因此,对具有高膨胀性的膨润土的持水特性及微观结构特征进行试验...膨润土作为缓冲或回填材料,具有吸水性极强、膨胀性较大、渗透性极低等特性。膨润土在饱和状态与非饱和状态之间转换时,因其湿胀干缩产生的裂缝会导致工程屏障受到破坏。因此,对具有高膨胀性的膨润土的持水特性及微观结构特征进行试验研究显得非常必要。分别运用滤纸法和饱和盐溶液蒸汽平衡法对膨润土进行了持水特性试验研究,得到了不同吸力范围内膨润土的土-水特征曲线;联合用蒸汽平衡法和扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对特定吸力点(367.54、149.51、71.12、38.00 MPa)的膨润土试样进行扫描电镜试验研究。膨润土的持水特性试验结果表明,滤纸法和饱和盐溶液蒸汽平衡法测得的土-水特征曲线均随吸力的增大而减小。根据滤纸法量测的试验数据,运用origin软件获得了Fredlund and Xing(1994)提出的模型参数,通过建立模型参数与干密度之间的关系,给出了膨润土的土-水特征曲线的预测公式。膨润土的微观定性分析表明:随着吸力的增大,膨润土集聚体逐渐增大,膨润土颗粒之间也越紧密;孔隙数量随着吸力的增大而减少、孔径也随吸力的增大而减小。展开更多
