The present disclosure belongs to the field of rock weathering resistance test, and relates to a determining system and method for the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks in a tunnel based on feldspar features.
The statement of this section merely provides background art information related to the present disclosure, and does not necessarily constitute the prior art.
Feldspar are the most common silicate minerals in the earth's crust. As the most important petrogenetic minerals in the lithosphere, their features are closely related to the structure, hardness, compressive strength, and weathering resistance of rocks. The crystallization temperature of feldspar is low, second only to quartz and muscovite, so feldspar are a class of minerals with strong weathering resistant capability. However, the traditional research for the hardness or weathering resistant capability of rocks in tunnel mostly consider quartz, but rarely consider the relationship between the weathering resistance capabilities of rocks and feldspar. However, the distribution of feldspar in the lithosphere is more extensive than quartz and other minerals. If a mineral factor that can be adapted to a variety of rocks needs to be found as much as possible, feldspar is a good choice.
Most of the minerals in clastic rocks are deposited form magmatic rocks weathered and transported. Feldspar continues to be preserved as a product of weathering, indicating that it has strong weathering resistant capability. Although a large amount of quartz also exists in clastic rocks, feldspar also has a very important impact on the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks. However, according to the inventor's understanding, the current evaluation of the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks in tunnels lacks consideration of feldspar features, resulting in fewer clastic rock can be studied. Meanwhile, the weathering resistance capability of rocks may be determined by means of low quartz content in tunnel, resulting in large errors.
The present disclosure proposes a determining system and method for the weathering resistant capability of clastic rocks in a tunnel based on the analysis of feldspar features.

As shown in
The element analysis module is equipped with an X-ray analyzer to collect information about basic chemical elements of composition the rocks.
In addition, a microscopic image module and a mineral quantification module are placed in a remote control laboratory, and the data obtained is transmitted to a deep learning module.
The microscopic image module is equipped with a high-resolution polarizing microscope, which is mainly used to extract cleavage features, interference color features, relief features and crystal structure features and transmit same to the learning module for classification.
The mineral quantification module is equipped with an electronic microprobe system. Since an X-ray system can only measure element types semi-quantitatively, the electronic microprobe system can further quantitatively analyze the content of various types of feldspar for the learning system to carry out analysis and classification.
The wireless transmission system is mounted at an end of the information acquisition system to transmit data obtained by the automatic scanning module and the element analysis module in the acquisition system to the data analysis system.
The data analysis system is placed in a remote control room, and includes a lithology comparison module and a deep learning module.
The lithology comparison module receives information from the data acquisition system, and cooperates with the deep learning module;
A lithology identification system is embedded with a lithology database, and the deep learning module can feed back the basic lithology information by extracting image features and element features.
The deep learning module includes an artificial auxiliary neural network trainer and an automatic model predictor.
The trainer has received a large amount of prior tunnel excavation rock data, various surface rock data, and drilling lithology data for oil field and coal field, these data are all stored in the data storage center, and the trainer can continuously obtain new data from the data storage center for training.
The trainer receives information from the element analysis module and the mineral quantification module, compares and trains the information with existing data, and finally can perform classification according to first and second principles.
The trainer receives microscopic image module information, performs image learning, y compares the data with the existing data in the storage center to obtain cleavage information and crystal structure information, and performs classification according to a third principle.
The trainer finally combines the three classifications to give a grade of weathering resistant capability of a rock stratum according to preset classification criteria.
The predictor compares the results to be detected with the results of various rock samples manually analyzed in the data storage center, and determines a corresponding relationship type between the weathering resistant capability and feldspar in the rocks through the model trained by the trainer as an auxiliary prediction.
The data acquisition system collects data on the tunnel face during shutdown period of the TBM, the fully automatic high-definition camera scans the tunnel face, a laser rock breaking device randomly takes block samples from the tunnel face, a small percussion drill takes powder samples, and the equipped X-ray analysis device and a corresponding data interpretation system preliminary identifies various chemical elements in the rock stratum. However, due to there are exist a large number allomerism during the development of feldspar, the electronic microprobe system is required for quantitative analysis of elemental compounds or minerals.
The microscopic image module identifies the crystal shapes (automorphic, hypautomorphic, or xenomorphism), interference colors (the interference color of orthoclase is first orde gray-gray white, and the interference color of plagioclase is first order yellow, with parallel extinction), and the reliefs (the orthoclase has low reliefs, and the plagioclase has high reliefs) based on different microscopic features of feldspar, for example, two sets of orthoclase cleavage intersect at 90°, while plagioclase cleavage does not intersect at 90°.
First principle: the feldspars type, The lower the crystallization temperature of a mineral is, the stronger its weathering resistant capability is. Different feldspars have a certain sequential order of crystallization. Therefore, the weathering resistant capability of potash feldspar is higher than that of plagioclase (that is, the orthoclase has stronger weathering resistant capability than the plagioclase), or the weathering resistant capability of alkali feldspar is greater than that of plagioclase, and the weathering resistant capability of acid plagioclase is greater than that of neutral plagioclase and greater than that of basic plagioclase. In summary, from the determination criteria provided for different types of feldspar, orthoclase (potash feldspar)>acid plagioclase (albite, oligoclase)>neutral plagioclase (andesine)>basic plagioclase (labradorite, bytownite, anorthite). By comparing the element content, the present disclosure provide a simpler classification, that is, the feldspar containing only K element has the strongest weathering resistant capability, the feldspar containing Na element is second, the feldspar containing only Ca element has the worst weathering resistant capability, and the weathering resistant capability of the feldspar containing both Na and Ca elements is enhanced as the content of Na element increases.
Second principle: the proportion of feldspar in clast of the clastic rocks. In the clastic rocks, the feldspar is originally the product of original rocks after being weathered, indicating that the feldspar itself has stronger weathering resistant capability. Therefore, the higher the content of feldspar in the clastic rocks is, the stronger its weathering resistant capability is.
Third principle: crystal structure. If the mineral has sufficient crystallization time and growth space during crystallization, it will grow into a fixed shape according to its own crystal structure. Therefore, after the mineral crystallizes, it maintains its own crystal structure and shape, which is called automorphic crystal; most of the reserved crystal is called hypautomorphiccrystal; the crystal that completely loses its shape is called xenomorphism crystal; and the better the preserved crystal shape of the mineral is, the more stable the crystal is, and the higher its weathering resistant capability is.
Based on the above principles and combined with the basic features of rocks in the lithosphere, the following determination grades are proposed: if the type of feldspar in the clastic rocks is only potash feldspar, grade 1; potash feldspar>plagioclase, grade 2; potash feldspar<plagioclase, grade 3; only plagioclase, grade 4.
If the clast content of feldspar in the clastic rocks exceeds 50%, grade 1; 15%-50%, grade 2; 5%-15%, grade 3; <5%, grade 4.
The crystal structure of feldspar, the content of automorphic>hypautomorphic+xenomorphism, grade 1; euhedral the content of automorphic+hypautomorphic>xenomorphism, grade 2; the content of automorphic≈hypautomorphic+xenomorphism, grade 3; the content of automorphic+hypautomorphic<xenomorphism, grade 4.
According to the above three criteria, the final determination grades of feldspar features on the degree of weathering of the rock stratum are provided: at least one grade 1 and grade 2 or two grades 2 indicates superior weathering resistant capability, only one grade 1 or grade 2 indicates medium weathering resistant capability, and no grade 1 or grade 2 indicates poor weathering resistant capability.

6. The data output system outputs the data to the storage center (13) for storage;
