The disclosure relates to the technical field of soft soil foundation treatment of geotechnical engineering, particularly to a pressurization thermo-sensitive gasification phase change consolidation method and a thermal desensitization intermittent evaporator using the same.
In the fields of geotechnical engineering and environmental protection engineering, there are often problems of tight deadline and limited construction technology with respect to large-area soft soil foundation reinforcement treatment and environmental-friendly in-situ restoration works. The existing technology has many construction processes, however, prevalently has phenomena of low bearing capability, large construction cost, long construction period, difficultly controlled construction quality and the like. Therefore, when it is needed to shorten the construction period and greatly decrease the construction cost, the above conventional construction method has many technical problems that are difficult to overcome. The Chinese patent CN107190729A discloses a foundation evaporator and a construction method for heating a foundation by using a device combined with vacuum preloading treatment of a soft soil foundation. A vertical plastic drainage plate is arranged in the foundation, and the head of the vertical plastic drainage plate is connected with transversely arranged filter pipes, and the outlet ends of all the filter pipes are communicated with the inlet of a pressure-guide diversion device. An evaporator is also arranged in the foundation, and a sand cushion layer is laid on the foundation. The filter pipes are buried in the sand cushion layer, and a thermal insulation layer is laid on the sand cushion layer, and a sealing film is laid on the thermal insulation layer to form a closed vacuum preloading system. During the work, first of all, the pressure-guide diversion device is turned on to carry out foundation reinforcement using a conventional vacuum preloading method; when the conventional drainage consolidation is carried out to the later stage, the temperature-controlled heat-generating body is turned on to heat the foundation and meanwhile vacuumize the foundation. By controlling the heating temperature of the foundation and the absolute pressure of the foundation, the water in the foundation is changed from a liquid state to a gaseous state, so as to further reduce the water content of the foundation and enhance the strength of the foundation. The technical solution also adopts a vacuum preloading method and arranges a foundation heating device for heating, but the structure of the heating device can not realize intermittent heating and can only conduct simple electrical heating, and therefore it has low heating efficiency and needs further improvement.
For the above defects existing in the prior art, the object of the disclosure is to provide a pressurization thermo-sensitive gasification phase change consolidation method and a thermal desensitization intermittent evaporator using the same, so as to realize intermittent heating and high-pressure steam injection, thereby improving the activity of water molecules, rapidly flowing to a low-temperature area and improving the efficiency of consolidation.

Example 1: a pressurization thermo-sensitive gasification consolidation method combined with a method (ZL200810156787.5) for pressurization vacuum preloading consolidation treatment of soft soil and a drainage plate and filter cloth for consolidation of sludge and a drainage plate core (ZL200910181702.3) includes the following steps:

Referring to example 1, examples 2˜5 are as shown in Table below:
Example 6: as shown in
Example 7: as shown in
Example 8: as shown in
The existing consolidation theory is a Terzaghi's theory more than 100 years ago, namely, water molecules are dissipated by virtue of pore pressure, and water cannot be dissipated to a certain extent. In the disclosure, the thermal desensitization intermittent evaporator is arranged at the bottom of the vacuum preloading drainage plate to generate superheated steam to be injected around under high temperature and high pressure so that the water molecule is improved in activity and quickly flows to the low temperature area, the permeation coefficient is doubled if the temperature is raised by 10° C., the superheated steam is generated in the later to be dissipated to the surrounding soil, and water molecules in vacuum environment are gasified at 45° C. so that the water content in soil is rapidly reduced. Vacuum preloading is from flowing plastic to soft plastic. The high-temperature high-pressure steam makes the sludge (sewage sludge) soft plastic and then hard plastic. The strength of the soil is multiplied. The intermittent effect is to allow water molecules to re-enter an object, and then to be injected out in a way of high-temperature high-pressure steam when heating again so as to improve the diffusion radius of heat, thereby improving the efficiency of consolidation.
