人工冻结环氧树脂-水泥复合固化红砂岩土强度及宏微观机理研究

Strength and macro-micro mechanisms of artificially frozen epoxy resin-cement composite-stabilized red sandstone soil

  • 摘要: 针对人工冻结环境下传统水泥固化红砂岩土易出现收缩开裂、强度不足的问题,本文提出采用环氧树脂-水泥复合固化方法进行改良。通过正交试验与响应面试验设计,结合无侧限抗压试验(UCT)以及X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、核磁共振(NMR)等微观分析手段,系统研究了水泥掺量、环氧树脂掺量及低温环境对红砂岩土力学性能的影响及其交互作用。结果表明:从宏观层面,环氧树脂-水泥复合固化可显著抑制低温下红砂岩土的开裂行为,其无侧限抗压强度较素土提高230%~680%,破坏模式由脆性贯穿裂缝转变为韧性剪切破坏;影响无侧限抗压强度的主次因素依次为环氧树脂掺量、水泥掺量、低温环境,其中环氧树脂掺量与强度呈正相关,水泥掺量则表现为先增后减的趋势。从微观层面,复合固化后总孔隙率最高降低68.4%,裂缝最大宽度和面积率分别降低83.7%和87.2%,环氧树脂不仅能够有效填充孔隙、增强界面韧性,还能与水泥水化产物形成有机-无机互穿网络结构,显著降低土体孔隙率,两者协同作用增强了土体结构的密实性。本研究为人工冻结法在基坑及巷道等工程中红砂岩土复合固化技术提供了理论依据与技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: To address the shrinkage cracking and insufficient strength of conventionally cement-solidified red sandstone soil under artificial freezing, this study proposes an epoxy resin–cement composite solidification method. Orthogonal and response surface experiments, along with unconfined compression tests (UCT) and microscopic analyses (XRD, SEM, NMR), were performed to evaluate the effects and interactions of cement content, epoxy resin content, and low-temperature environment on the mechanical behavior of the treated soil. Results indicate that the composite solidification substantially suppresses cracking at low temperatures, increases unconfined compressive strength by 230%~680% relative to untreated soil, and transforms the failure mode from brittle fracture with through-going cracks to ductile shear failure. The dominant factors affecting strength, in descending order, are epoxy resin content (positively correlated), cement content (exhibiting an initial increase followed by a decrease), and low temperature. Microscopically, total porosity is reduced by up to 68.4%, while maximum crack width and crack area ratio decrease by 83.7% and 87.2%, respectively. Epoxy resin effectively fills pores, enhances interfacial toughness, and forms an organic–inorganic interpenetrating network with cement hydration products, synergistically reducing porosity and improving soil compactness. This study provides a theoretical and technical basis for applying composite solidification to red sandstone soil in artificial freezing engineering contexts, such as foundation pits and tunnels.
