Abstrakt:

The thermal properties of soils are affected by many factors, such as temperature, water content, and structure. Based on the transient plane source method of thermal physics, the thermal properties of loess with different water content during the freezing process were tested. We analyzed the variation mechanism of thermal properties from the perspective of phase change. Based on the Pore/Particle and Crack Analysis System (PCAS) and theory of heat transfer, we then analyzed the microstructure and heat conduction process of loess. And a calculation model of volumetric heat capacity of frozen soil was presented. The results show that, in the major phase transition zone, the variation of the thermal properties of loess with temperature is the most significant. And the thermal diffusivity increases sharply with the significant increase of thermal conductivity and the rapid decrease of volumetric heat capacity. Moisture content not only increases the thermal conductivity and volume heat capacity of loess but also makes the influence of temperature on the thermophysical parameters more significant. The effect of temperature on thermal properties is mainly due to the change of heat transfer media caused by phase transition of water-ice, followed by the change of thermal properties of heat transfer media such as soil particles, water, ice, and air with temperature. Increasing the water content reduces the contact thermal resistance between soil particles because of the increase in the thickness of the water film on the surface of soil particles and the thermal conductivity of the heat transfer medium between particles, thus changing the thermal properties of soils.
