摘要
利用酶诱导碳酸钙沉淀(enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation,EICP)与黄原胶联合处理对季冻区粉砂土力学性能进行改善,这种方法可为季冻区粉砂土开发和利用提供一种思路。通过在室内进行了冻融循环试验,无侧限单轴抗压强度(unconfined compressive strength,UCS)测试、直接剪切试验、扫描电镜(scanning electron microscopy,SEM)试验和X射线衍射(X-ray diffraction,XRD)试验,基于响应面法优化了黄原胶-EICP改良粉砂土的配合比工艺,研究了冻融循环对改良后粉砂土的宏观力学和微观结构。研究结果表明:黄原胶-EICP改良粉砂土试样力学性能得到大幅度提高,综合EICP-黄原胶改良粉砂土试样各强度参数的变化趋势,在养护天数为7 d,黄原胶掺量为1.465%和胶凝液与大豆脲酶体积比为1∶1时,强度参数最优。黄原胶-EICP改良粉砂土能够延缓因冻融循环作用导致的内部损伤,并有效改善抗剪强度。通过微观结构分析,阐明了在冻融循环作用下,EICP-黄原胶改良粉砂土试样的破坏过程和减小各强度参数的因素。
Abstract
The combined treatment of EICP (enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation) and xanthan gum can improve the mechanical properties of seasonally frozen silty soil, providing a novel approach for its development and utilization. Freeze-thaw cycle tests, UCS (unconfined compressive strength) tests, direct shear tests, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analyses were conducted in the laboratory. The mix proportion of xanthan gum-EICP improved silty soil was optimized using response surface methodology, and the macroscopic mechanical properties and microstructure of the improved silty soil under freeze-thaw cycles were investigated. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of xanthan gum-EICP improved silty soil samples were significantly enhanced. Considering the variations in strength parameters of the EICP-xanthan gum improved silty soil samples, the optimal strength parameters were achieved at a curing period of 7 days, a xanthan gum content of 1.465%, and a cementing solution-to-soybean urease volume ratio of 1∶1. Xanthan gum-EICP improved silty soil can mitigate internal damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles and effectively improve shear strength. Microstructural analysis elucidated the failure process of EICP-xanthan gum improved silty soil samples under freeze-thaw cycles and the factors contributing to the reduction of various strength parameters.

因此,现通过一系列室内试验,基于响应面法研究黄原胶-EICP改良粉砂土优化配合比工艺及改良效果和在冻融循环作用下黄原胶-EICP技术固化粉砂土的力学性能和破坏机制。分别从冻融循环前后改良土样的无侧限抗压强度损伤量、弹性模量损伤量和抗剪强度等力学参数,宏观评价黄原胶的改善效果和冻融循环作用的破坏作用。采用X射线衍射(X-ray diffraction,XRD)和扫描电镜(scanning electron microscopy,SEM)等方法微观分析加固土样的增强机理和冻融循环作用的破坏机制,可为季冻区粉砂土的工程开发与利用提供新思路。
