摘要: 对于采用土工膜库盘防渗的平原水库,蓄水初期,土工膜缺陷渗漏,极易引起库区土工膜膜下非饱和土层中孔隙气体聚集、上升,并使土工膜产生局部隆起的气胀现象。分析了库水渗漏引起土工膜气胀变形的机理,研制了超大型专用气胀试验设备,利用渗漏区和非渗漏区气胀试验来模拟土工膜缺陷渗漏引起的气胀现象,得出结论
①对于没有缺陷的土工膜,在地下水位不变时,水库蓄水不会产生土工膜气胀现象;②平原水库蓄水初期,土工膜缺陷渗漏,渗水可侵占原膜下砂沟的孔隙空间,封闭排气通道,产生水阻现象,并影响膜下孔隙气体从砂沟排气系统中的正常排出;③平原水库蓄水初期,土工膜缺陷渗漏,渗水接触地下水后,会挤占土工膜膜下非饱和土孔隙气体空间,并引起库区内地下水位的整体上升,促使非饱和土中孔隙气体聚集、上升,并引起土工膜产生局部隆起的鼓胀变形,表现为气胀现象。Abstract: In the initial storage period of the plain reservoir using geomembrane as anti-seepage materials of reservoir basin, the leakage water resulting from geomembrane defects is easy to induce the pore-air in the unsaturated soil under geomembrane gathering and rising, and the pore-air will lead to air expansion of the geomembrane with local swelling.

Abstract:
In the initial storage period of the plain reservoir using geomembrane as anti-seepage materials of reservoir basin, the leakage water resulting from geomembrane defects is easy to induce the pore-air in the unsaturated soil under geomembrane gathering and rising, and the pore-air will lead to air expansion of the geomembrane with local swelling. The mechanism of air expansion phenomenon resulting from the leakage water is analyzed. A special large-scale test instrument for the air expansion of geomembrane is developed. Air expansion tests in seepage area and anti-seepage area are conducted to simulate the air expansion phenomenon caused by the leakage water resulting from geomembrane defects. The conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) when the groundwater level is invariant, there will be no geomembrane air expansion phenomenon during the storage period; (2) in the initial storage period of plain reservoirs, water leaks from the geomembrane defects, intrudes the porous space of sand ditches under geomembrane, seals off exhaust passages, and causes water resistance phenomenon, and then affects pore-air exhaust from sand ditch exhaust system regularly; (3) in the initial storage period of plain reservoirs, water leaks from the geomembrane defects, and after the leakage water meets the underground water, leakage water will squeeze the space of pore-air in unsaturated soil under geomembrane, induce the overall rising of groundwater level in the reservoir area and gathering and rising of pore-air in unsaturated soil, finally, it causes local expansive deformation of the geomembrane, that is, the air expansion phenomenon.
