Quantitative Analysis of Soft Soil Microstructure in Unloading Levels

Article Preview

Abstract:

Quantitative analysis of soft soil microstructure in unloading levels are made by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) images, IPP and PS of image technology ,which includes image segmentation, pore size measuring and counting, three dimensional simulation of soft soil microstructure, etc. The results indicate that, with the increase of unloading grade, pore number and area of big aperture are in a sharp increase, the corresponding porosity also in ascension, so the deformation of the soil is mainly due to the change of pore; compared with the apparent 3d images of soil under the transverse profile in unloading levels. The results also indicate that, with the increase of unloading grade, pore area of cross section are in a increase.
