To applicate streaming potential phenomenon to study the seepage feature in the soil–rock mixture (SRM), research on the variation in the streaming potential phenomenon of SRM is the precondition. This paper deals, in assistance with the streaming potential test apparatus, with the streaming potential effect response of SRM subjected to different rock contents. The test results show that when the rock content increases from 10% to 30%, the streaming potential coupling coefficient increases with the increases in rock content at 85% compactness and 0.01 mol L−1 salinity. When the rock content is more than 30%, the streaming potential coupling coefficient decreases with the increases in rock content. As the rock content increases, the permeability coefficient has a negative correlation with the streaming potential coupling coefficient. The streaming potential increases first and then goes down with the increases in rock content, and the streaming potential decreases significantly when the rock content exceeds 50%. The findings indicate that the rock content is the key structural factor that restricts the streaming potential phenomenon of the SRM.

<p>Flexible pavement is very weak against waterlogging because water can loosen the bond between aggregate and asphalt. Porous Asphalt has lower durability because it has high pores so that it can be passed by water. Poor bonding of asphalt and aggregate will cause stripping. This peeling can cause water absorption which will eventually accelerate road damage. Derbo 401 anti-peeling material is one of the new breakthroughs, in the form of additives that can change the properties of aggregates and asphalt, increase adhesion and bonding, and reduce the negative effects caused by water so as to produce a mixture of asphalt with high adhesion. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding anti-stripping agent type Derbo-401 to the permeability value and to determine the resistance of the porous asphalt mixture with the addition of anti-striping agent type Derbo-401 in the Cantabro test and to determine the microstructure of the porous asphalt mixture. Using the REAM-2008 Specification. Based on the results of the study, the Permeability Coefficient Value of the porous asphalt mixture was 0.254 cm3/sec. the lowest percentage Derbo 0.4%, the lowest Cantabro Loss value at 0.3% addition percentage gets an average value of 6.13%, Has met the required specifications max 15%. The elements that make up the porous asphalt mixture with the addition of Derbo percentage are more in the elements Si (silicon) 19.93%, Ca (calcium) 21.12%, S (sulfur) 8.45%, Fe (ferrum) 8.80%, K (potassium) 2.42% and the other elements are less.</p>

In order to predict the impact of wastewater from an aluminum plant treatment station on the groundwater environment under abnormal conditions (i.e., sewage leakage accident). Through the investigation of hydrogeological conditions, and then the permeability coefficient of the aquifer was measured through borehole injection tests. Finally, the groundwater pollution transport halo was obtained by numerical simulation based GMS software. The simulation results showed that the groundwater aquifer will be seriously polluted by COD and fluoride (F-) after the sudden sewage seepage accident. What’s more, the simulation results showed that the pollution concentration is getting higher and higher with time, which is analyzed to be caused by the small permeability of the water-bearing medium in the aquifer and the groundwater flow field was supported by seawater tide.

AbstractThe gas emission zone is an important parameter for the space–time effect of coal excavation and gas emission. In this paper, according to the effect of roadway excavation, a numerical model of gas emission zone based on the evolution of stress and permeability was established to obtain the width of gas emission zone with different pressure and permeability coefficient. Then the numerical simulation results were verified by measuring the gas content at different depths. Through numerical simulation and field measured data, the theoretical calculation formula is established on the basis of comprehensive consideration of the influencing factors of gas emission zone. The results showed that the gas emission zone increases with the increase of coal seam gas pressure and permeability coefficient when the roadway section and exposure time are the same. The measured gas emission zone, when taking gas content as the index with the same logistic function growth curve, matches the measured results with a relative error of 1.3 to 6%. The validity of the model is also verified by field experiments. The results can provide guidance for mine gas emission and gas drainage design.

The streaming potential effect in soil-rock mixture (SRM) is related to the compactness and rock content, but there is no model to quantitatively describe this behavior. In this paper, the Kozeny–Carman (KC) equation is modified by using the compactness and rock content. Then, the modified KC equation is substituted into the equation of streaming potential coupling coefficient. A new modified model of streaming potential coupling coefficient that depends on the compactness, rock content, particle shape, and particle gradation is proposed. The reliability of the new modified model is tested by experiments, and the applicable scope of the model is obtained. The results show that when the rock content is 30%, the permeability coefficient prediction accuracy of the modified KC equation is higher in the range of 85–95% compactness. The new modified model of the streaming potential coupling coefficient represents well the control of the compactness (75–95%) on the coupling coefficient. When the compactness remains 85%, the permeability coefficient calculated by the modified KC equation in the range of 10–70% rock content is consistent with the experimental data. The influence of the rock content (10–90%) on the coupling coefficient is well described by the new modified model of the streaming potential coupling coefficient. The new modified model of streaming potential coupling coefficient is helpful to quantitatively evaluate the internal structure evolution of embankment dam by using streaming potential phenomenon.

Funnel and gate permeable reactive barrier (FGPRB) is an effective method to treat groundwater pollution. In order to clarify the impact of FGPRB on groundwater dynamic conditions, this study takes a site pilot test as the research object and establishes an FGPRB downstream of a petrochemical industry. The results show that the concentrations of 1,2-dichloroethylene and benzene in the downstream groundwater, after setting FGPRB, are lower than the detection limit. The numerical simulation results show that after setting FGPRB, both point source and area source pollution can achieve a good delay effect, extending from about 27 d to about 65 d of response time, but changing the thickness and permeability coefficient has no obvious effect on the delay effect. The tracer test shows the average permeability coefficient of the medium from the injection well to the monitoring well after the construction of FGPRB decreases from 77.0 m/d to 31.2 m/d after the construction of FGPRB. The average seepage velocity from the injection well to the monitoring well decreased from 0.19 m/d to 0.078 m/d after the construction of FGPRB. At the same time, when the FGPRB is not built, the maximum concentration time from the injection well to the monitoring well is about 10 d. After the FGPRB is constructed, the maximum concentration time of the tracer received by the monitoring well is about 27 days. These results confirm that the establishment of FGPRB will change the hydrodynamic conditions of groundwater and delay the response time of pollutants in the monitoring well.
