基于有源波导系统土体剪切试验过程声发射特征演化规律
Evolution of Acoustic Emission Characteristics During Soil Shear Testing Based on Active Waveguide System
近年来,土质边坡稳定性监测技术获得了较大发展,但滑坡体内部剪切过程监测和潜在风险感知仍然存在不少困难。本文利用有源波导系统和声发射(acoustic emission)技术研究土体在不同剪切条件下的AE信号特征演化规律。研究表明:振铃计数随剪切位移增加而迅速增大,并随含水率的增加呈幂函数减小;能量随着剪切位移加大呈现缓慢增加趋势,且含水率低、加载速率快的土样释放声发射能量更大;b值(岩土体破坏过程中AE小事件数与大事件数的比)随剪切位移先降低后平缓,宏观破坏发生后b值逐步稳定,而含水率与其成负相关。此外,试验揭示了AE信号的多因素演化规律,在振铃计数‒b值空间中,随含水率的降低特征向量逐次向右下方移动,即低含水率试样总是具有更低的b值和更大的振铃计数;在振铃计数‒能量空间中,随含水率增加,结果分布逐次向右上角移动,即能量和振铃计数同时增大;加载速率对结果分布形态亦有一定影响,且剪切速率越大,类间分离度越高。研究成果可为声发射技术在土质边坡滑动预测预警中特征指标选取提供理论依据。
Objective Monitoring internal shear processes and assessing potential risk perception in landslides is crucial for maintaining the stability of earthy slopes. This research uses an active waveguide system and acoustic emission (AE) technology to examine the evolution of AE signal characteristics under different shear conditions. The primary objectives are to 1) characterize the behavior of AE signals, including ring count, energy, and b‒value, during the soil shear process, 2) analyze the influence of water content and loading rate on AE signal evolution, as these factors significantly affect soil stability, 3) establish a theoretical framework for selecting characteristic indicators that enhance the predictive capabilities of AE technology in monitoring soil slope stability, 4) support the development of more effective monitoring and early warning systems for soil slope sliding, improving the safety and management of infrastructure and human settlements in landslide-prone areas. Methods Through a systematic experimental approach, the study aimed to uncover the multifactorial dynamics of AE signals during soil shear, providing valuable insights for the application of AE technology in geotechnical engineering and slope stability assessments. The research methodology was designed to systematically investigate the AE characteristics of soil under shear conditions using an active waveguide system. The approach encompassed several key stages, beginning with the selection and preparation of the soil material. Chengdu clay, representative of high-water-content soils, was chosen for its prevalent geotechnical properties, including high water content and a complex pore structure. The clay was meticulously compacted within a specially designed shear box, ensuring a controlled environment for the experiments. An active waveguide rod was integrated into the setup to enhance the sensitivity of AE signal detection and reduce signal attenuation, a common challenge in granular media. The waveguide rod was positioned within a granular material bed, facilitating the transmission of AE signals from the shear zone to the sensors. The experimental design involved varying two critical parameters: the loading rate and the water content of the soil. Three distinct loading rates (5, 10, and 20 mm/min) and five different water content levels were selected, resulting in a comprehensive matrix of 15 test conditions. Each test was conducted under displacement control, with a predetermined shear displacement of 50 mm, beyond which the test was halted to analyze the accumulated AE data. The AE signals were captured using a DS5‒16 b‒type data acquisition system with a sampling frequency of 3 MHz and a frequency response range of 100 to 400 kHz. The system recorded the AE events, including the ring count, energy, and b‒value, which were essential parameters for analyzing the soil's shear behavior. The data collected were then subjected to statistical and cluster analyses to identify the underlying patterns and correlations between the AE parameters and the experimental conditions. This comprehensive methodology established a robust understanding of the AE signal evolution during soil shear, providing insights into the multifactorial processes involved and contributing to the development of predictive models for soil slope stability. Results and Discussions The research yielded substantial insights into the behavior of AE signals during the shear testing of soil, underpinned by the analysis of three pivotal AE parameters, ring count, energy, and b‒value, each responding distinctly to variations in shear displacement and soil water content. Ring count findings: The research identified that the ring count escalates swiftly with an increase in shear displacement, with drier soils demonstrating heightened AE signal activity. This indicates that soil moisture plays a critical role in the generation of AE signals. The ring count's exponential decline with increasing water content highlights the need to consider soil consistency in AE monitoring systems. Energy observations: The study demonstrated that AE energy, representing the aggregate energy emitted during soil shearing, exhibits a gradual increase with shear displacement. Soils with reduced water content were observed to release higher energy, likely due to greater frictional resistance in less hydrated conditions. In addition, the energy output was shown to escalate with faster loading rates, indicating the importance of the rate of stress application in energy release. b‒value insights: The b‒value, a measure of AE event magnitude distribution, displayed a trend of decreasing initially with shear displacement and then leveling off. This trend implies that as soil approaches failure, there is a rise in the proportion of high-magnitude AE events. The b‒value is negatively correlated with water content, with higher water content of soil showing larger b‒values, potentially attributable to the water's lubricating effect, which can decrease frictional energy dissipation. Multifactorial Analysis: Cluster analysis clarified the multifactorial nature of AE signal characteristics influenced by shear rate and water content. The analysis showed distinct patterns between different water content groups, with lower water content correlating with lower b‒values and higher ring counts. In addition, a positive correlation was observed between energy and ring count, with both parameters increasing with water content. The impact of the loading rate on result distribution was also noted, with higher shear rates leading to more pronounced class separation. Conclusions This study concludes that AE signal characteristics are sensitive indicators of soil behavior during shear, demonstrating significant potential to enhance the predictive capabilities of AE technology in soil slope stability monitoring. The findings highlight the necessity of a detailed understanding of the interaction between AE parameters and soil properties, which is essential for developing accurate monitoring systems. It highlights the value of employing a multi-parameter analysis in AE-based monitoring to achieve a more comprehensive evaluation of soil slope conditions. The study advances the development of early warning systems capable of detecting the onset of slope instability with increased precision by integrating insights from ring count, energy, and b‒value analyses. These conclusions affirm the effectiveness of AE technology in geotechnical engineering, particularly for predicting and alerting against soil slope failure. The results provide a theoretical foundation for applying AE in monitoring, providing a basis for future research and practical applications in soil mechanics and slope stability management.
