Abstract

Quick-setting grout has time-varying characteristics, and the space porosity of the injected medium changes after being grouted. The above two points need to be considered when loose and broken coal rock masses are grouted with rapid-setting grout. In other words, the coupling effect of the slurry-coal rock mass causes the slurry to exhibit the temporal and spatial characteristics of slurry viscosity (TSCSV). Based on the Bingham fluid constitutive model, a capillary group model with a linear increase in diameter was created, and a one-dimensional penetration grout diffusion model was established considering the TSCSV. The one-dimensional visualization splitting-permeation grout diffusion simulation test system was designed to obtain the space porosity of the broken coal rock mass under different final grouting pressures to obtain the law of the changes in grouting pressure and diffusion height with time under the condition of a fixed grouting rate. Furthermore, the mechanism of splitting-permeation grouting in loose and broken coal rock masses is analysed in depth considering the TSCSV. The results showed that the space porosity of coal rock masses increases linearly. In addition, the calculated value of the slurry diffusion distance was 0.93 – 1.1 times the experimental value considering the TSCSV. The calculated value was in good agreement with the experimental value. The calculated value of the final pressure of orifice grouting was approximately 1.5 times the test value without considering the unevenness of the space porosity distribution (USPD). The grouting pressure was overestimated without considering the USPD. Therefore, the TSCSV of the quick-setting slurry should be fully considered in the grouting design.
