摘要

由于干湿循环、剪切或其它作用，自然界土壤表面发育着大量裂隙。裂隙相互连接形成网络，裂隙网络是一个随机无序的系统，常规统计方法描述裂隙的分布特征存在很大的难度。网状土体裂隙一般具有分形特征，可以用分维数来进行描述。用数码相机拍摄土体表面的裂隙，将其转换成灰度图像，并结合分形理论，建立了摄影法测定土体裂隙分维数的方法，得到了土体裂隙的分维数。根据表征单元体的物理意义，建立了基于分维数估算表征单元体的方法，并对实例进行了分析。研究表明：分维数随裂隙密度，裂隙宽度和次一级裂隙发育程度的增大而增大；表征单元体与裂隙的密度均匀性和隙宽均匀性相关，基于分维数估算表征单元体的方法简便可行。

Abstract

Natural soil may be cracked due to wetting–drying cycles

shearing or other effects. Most cracks tend to be connected and form a network. A crack network on a natural soil surface is a random and disordered system. It is hard to describe the distribution characteristics of cracks by the traditional statistical method. Generally

the crack network has fractal dimension. The theory of fractal dimension can be used to describe the distribution characteristics of cracks. Crack images are taken by a digital camera on a soil surface and converted to gray images. A method for determining fractal dimension by photograph is established based on the fractal theory. Then

the fractal dimension of soil cracks can be obtained. According to the physical meaning of representative elementary volume (REV)

a method for estimating the cracked soil’s REV based on the fractal dimension is presented; and some examples are analyzed. The results show that the fractal dimensions are increased with the increasing of crack density

crack aperture and the development of secondary crack. The REV is related to the homogeneity of crack density and crack aperture. It is easy and credible to estimate the cracked soil’s REV by the method mentioned above.
