非饱和粘土路基平衡湿度空间分布特征及预估

通过室内外试验探讨了非饱和粘土路基平衡湿度沿道路横断面的空间分布特征，并基于非饱和土力学基本理论，采用滤纸法测定了不同含水量土样的基质吸力，标定了反映含水量与基质吸力单值函数关系的土水特征曲线模型，建立了大气降水/蒸发影响区以外非饱和粘土路基平衡湿度的预估方法。研究结果表明，近中央分隔带和路肩处的上部路基土的平衡湿度受大气降水/蒸发的影响显著；大气降水/蒸发影响区以外的路基土平衡湿度主要受控于地下水位的影响；Fredlund&Xing模型可较好地表征非饱和粘性路基土湿度和基质吸力的相关关系，模型参数拟合结果具有较高的可靠性；地下水位控制区粘土路基平衡湿度预估结果与试验测试值之间具有较高的一致性，预估方法合理可靠。

Distribution Characteristics and Prediction of Equilibrium Moisture of Non saturated Clay Subgrade

The space distribution characteristics of equilibrium moisture of non saturated clay subgrade were surveyed along the road cross section by the in situ and laboratory tests. Based on the basic theory of unsaturated soil mechanics, matric suctions of soil samples with different kinds of moisture condition were determined and the soil water characteristic curve model was calibrated to reflect a single valued function relationship between water content and matric suction of clay soils. Combining the above results, an estimation method of the equilibrium moisture of the unsaturated clay subgrade outside the affected zone of atmospheric precipitation/evaporation was established. The results show that the atmospheric precipitation/evaporation has significant effect on moisture condition of the subgrade soil located in the upper part of the subgrade near the central reserve and hard shoulders. However, equilibrium moisture of subgrade soil outside the affected zone of atmospheric precipitation/evaporation is mainly controlled by the impact of the groundwater table. Fredlund & Xing model can be used to characterize the relationship between the unsaturated clay soil moisture and matric suction, and the fitting results of model parameters have high reliability. A consistency between the predictive results and the experimental data shows the presented model is accurate and credible.
