盐岩巴西劈裂损伤愈合特性实验研究

Experimental study of the self-healing property of damaged salt rock by Brazilian splitting

  • 摘要: 盐岩的损伤愈合特性对地下盐穴储库的长期密闭性具有重要影响。为了探究损伤盐岩的愈合特性,设计了巴西劈裂损伤盐岩的自愈合实验。在无应力条件下,让巴西劈裂损伤盐岩在不同湿度条件下愈合120 d,通过实验过程中试样渗透率的变化定量判断损伤盐岩愈合程度,探究了损伤盐岩在不同湿度和恢复时间条件下的愈合效果;同时,通过扫描电子显微镜对损伤盐岩愈合后的细观形貌进行了观察,探讨了盐岩损伤愈合的细观机制。本实验中,利用实验前后渗透率的变化作为损伤盐岩愈合的表征手段,有效避免了以往研究中利用试样强度和弹性模量作为损伤愈合表征手段时因应变硬化导致的结果不可靠的情况。实验结果表明,在无应力作用条件下,在无外界水分供给环境中试件经过120 d后仍然没有发现愈合,证明水分是损伤愈合的必要条件。研究表明,时间和湿度对盐岩的损伤愈合具有重要影响,盐岩的损伤愈合效果在实验范围内随着时间的增长和湿度的增大而增强,但增强速度呈指数降低,意味着过大的湿度和过长的时间难以有效提高盐岩损伤愈合效果。

     

    Abstract: Given its good physical and mechanical properties and chemical stability, salt rock is considered to be the ideal rock mass for underground reservoir construction. To safeguard China’s energy security and strategic needs, a large number of underground salt cave reservoirs have been built in recent years. In view of the accidents caused by the instability of gas storage in foreign countries, the physical and mechanical properties of salt rock need to be investigated in depth to ensure the long-term stability of salt caverns. The damage-healing characteristics of salt rock have an important influence on the long-term airtightness of underground salt caverns. To examine the healing properties of damaged salt rock, a self-healing experiment was conducted on Brazilian cracked salt rock. Under the no-stress condition, the Brazilian cracked salt rock was healed under different humidity conditions for 120 days. The change in the permeability of the sample was quantitatively evaluated, and the damage-healing characteristics of salt rock under different humidity conditions and healing times were examined. In addition, the microscopic morphology of the damaged salt rock after healing was observed through scanning electron microscopy, and the mesoscopic mechanism of salt rock damage healing was discussed. In this experiment, the change in the permeability of the sample before and after the experiment was used to characterize salt rock damage, which effectively avoided the unreliable results obtained in previous studies through strain hardening, where the strength and elastic moduli of the samples were used to assess damage healing. The experimental results show that, under the no-stress condition, the specimens placed in the environment without external water supply are not healed after 120 days, which proves that water is a necessary condition for wound healing. Previous studies have shown that time and humidity have an important influence on salt rock damage healing. The damage-healing effect on salt rock increases with time and humidity. However, the rate of increase decreases exponentially, which indicates that excessive humidity and time do not effectively improve the damage-healing effect on salt rock.
