为了研究裂隙膨胀土渗气规律,采用自行设计加工的气体渗透测试装置,对人工制备裂隙膨胀土试样进行渗气试验。结果表明:压实膨胀土中气体渗透符合达西定律;试样完全切开且未夹纸条时,试样中仍然存在贯通裂隙,此时气体渗透系数相比压实膨胀土试样中的渗透系数提高了1倍;土中裂隙的存在为气体运移提供便利通道,改变气体原有运移路径,形成“优势流”现象;对比达西理论和非达西理论分析结果,土体中出现贯通人工裂隙时,采用非达西理论分析更合适。
A series of gas permeability tests were carried out in order to study its permeability on expansive soil with artificial fissures using self-designed and made apparatus. The results show that Darcy's law expresses the gas flow in the compacted expansive soil. When the soil sample is cut up completely, there is still a penetrated fissure within it that makes the permeability coefficient doubles. The fissures change the original gas flow path providing a convenient channel for it flows, consequently the “gas preferential flow” phenomenon could be observed in the fissured expansive soil. Comparing the theoretical analysis results of Darcy with that of non-Darcy, it is indicated that the non-Darcy theory is better than Darcy theory to analyze the gas permeability when there are artificial fissures in the soil.
