Infiltration Grouting Mechanism of Bingham Fluids in Porous Media with Different Particle Size Distributions
Source abstract
Abstract
Although permeation grouting technology has been widely used in engineering practice, there has not been sufficient research on how the distribution of pore sizes in porous media affects the diffusion of grout. In this study, based on the fractal theory of porous media and the Bingham fluid rheological equation, a Bingham fluid permeation grouting mechanism considering the distribution of pore sizes in porous media is proposed. The mechanism is validated through laboratory experiments and numerical simulations using COMSOL 6.0. During the experiments, parallel electrical resistance imaging is employed to monitor the diffusion range of the grout. Furthermore, the effects of grouting pressure, porosity, and water–cement ratio on the diffusion radius of the grout are analyzed. The results show that the Bingham fluid grout diffuses in a semi-spherical shape in the gravel. Additionally, parallel electrical resistance imaging can analyze the diffusion range of the grout in the gravel. The diffusion radius of the Bingham fluid grout in the gravel is smaller than the diffusion radius obtained by considering the particle size distribution theory, with an average difference of 31.8%. Compared to the diffusion radius obtained without considering the particle size distribution theory, the diffusion radius obtained by considering the distribution of pore sizes is closer to the experimental results. The numerically simulated program, which was developed for this study, can effectively simulate the diffusion law of the Bingham fluid in the gravel. So far, the Bingham fluid seepage grouting model considering the different particle size distribution of porous media has been built. The findings of this study can provide theoretical support and technical reference for practical grouting projects.
