Abstract: 
Pressurized bentonite slurry is applied on a tunnel face to form a filter cake to stabilize the tunnel face when the slurry shield excavates through the sandy soil. Failure of the tunnel face may be caused by a high permeable filter cake, which commonly has a long penetration distance of slurry in sands. A column system with a height of 680 mm and a diameter of 300 mm was developed to model pressurized slurry infiltration in sands. Pressure transducers were installed to estimate the hydraulic conductivity of the filter cake during slurry infiltration. The electrical conductivity of the leachate of collected samples was measured. Results show that the majority of fine particles in slurry are within the range 100–300 mm into the sand specimen. The time for forming an impermeable filter cake is about 300 s, which indicates the impermeable filter cake is hard to form during the excavation.

The stability of the tunnel face excavated by slurry shield is mainly dependent on pressurized bentonite slurry. Slurry infiltration in pervious strata can partly explain the mechanism of the stability of the tunnel face. In this sense, the topic of the manuscript was significant.

一种模拟膨润土泥浆在砂土中渗透的试验装置

目的:泥水盾构掘进时通过加压泥浆维持开挖面稳定,泥浆中的小颗粒渗入土体,大颗粒在土体表面堆积形成泥膜。本文研究泥浆的渗透行为和泥膜的渗透系数,提高对泥水盾构维持开挖面稳定机理的认识。
方法:1. 通过渗透柱试验模拟泥浆在砂土中的渗透;2. 通过土体电导率的测定和电镜扫描,观测泥浆在渗透距离内的分布情况;3. 假设泥膜厚度不变,通过孔压和渗流量观测泥膜渗透系数随时间的变化情况。
结论:1. 在泥浆的渗透距离内,泥浆含量沿着渗透方向以对数形式降低,大部分泥浆的细小颗粒集中在约100-300 mm的区域内,这个区域的大小与泥浆压力成正比;2. 低渗透性泥膜形成时间约5 mim,泥水盾构掘进过程中,开挖面上来不及形成不透水泥膜。
