为探求软黏土固结时微观结构演化规律,对上海软黏土的原状土和重塑土进行固结-电镜试验,采用图像处理技术和分形理论研究孔隙比、孔隙尺度及孔隙度分维数的变化特征,为获得三维孔隙比提出一种确定图像二值化阈值的方法. 结果表明,利用该法获得的三维孔隙比准确性较高; 干密度影响孔隙的大小和形状,固结压力改变颗粒间的接触形式和分布; 结构性的影响贯穿固结全过程,压密阶段孔隙度分维数和孔隙比快速下降,结构重组阶段孔隙度分维数开始增长,孔隙比下降速率放缓; 新的平衡阶段孔隙度分维数逐渐降低,结构趋于密实,孔隙比轻微下降.

Shanghai soft clay is studied by consolidation test and electron microscopy in order to explore microstructure evolution during consolidation. Image processing techniques and fractal theory are used to study the variation characteristics of pore ratio, pore size and porosity fractal dimension. The threshold determination method of image binarization is adopted to obtain a high accuracy of three-dimensional pore ratio.The dry density affects the size and shape of the pores and the consolidation pressure changes the contact pattern and distribution between the particles. The microstructure has a strong influence on the whole process of consolidation. In the compacting stage, the fractal dimension and the pore ratio decrease rapidly. During the microstructure rearrangement stage, the fractal dimension begins to increase, and the rate of decrease of the pore ratio slows down. In the new balance stage, the fractal dimension gradually decreases, the structure tends to be dense, and the pore ratio decreases slightly.
