Abstract

The seepage action leads to a significant loss of fine particles in soil-rock mixtures, which is the primary reason for the seepage failure of hydraulic structures. Existing research mainly focuses on the comprehensive effects of varying fine particle content and confining pressure on the seepage characteristics of soil-rock mixtures, with little attention given to the evolutionary characteristics of seepage under different gap intervals and particle size continuity conditions. Based on this, this paper conducts indoor GDS triaxial permeability tests and coupled numerical simulations to study the effects of gap intervals and particle size continuity on the seepage characteristics of soil-rock mixtures. The results indicate that when the gap interval remains the same, an increase in particle size continuity inhibits the development of internal pores within the soil-rock mixture, leading to a decreasing trend in the permeability coefficient of the samples. Meanwhile, expanding the gap interval reduces the occurrence of local blockage and particle accumulation within the skeletal pores, resulting in an increase in the permeability coefficient of the samples.
