Experiment Study on Microstructure of Soft Soil in Nansha District Based on NMR and SEM Test
The moisture characteristics and microstructure of soft soil are the key factors in determining the physical and mechanical properties of soil. The relaxation time

spectra and scanning electron microscope images of soft soil from Nansha District were obtained by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The water phase and pore size distribution of two types of soft soils were summarized based on SEM and NMR test results. The results show that the relaxation time

distribution curve of Nansha soft soil is bimodal with two kinds of water in soil
the first state water being over 99% of the total water quality
and muck and mucky soil havi
ng many small pores mainly concentrated in the range of 0.1 μm to 20 μm. SEM images show that the three microstructure types of Nansha soft soil are in flocculent microstructure
honeycomb microstructure and clot microstructure. These methods also can calculate the microstructure parameters such as average pore radius
average pore area
surface porosity
pore shape factor and pore fractal dimension. The results of pore sizes obtained by the two methods are basically the same
but not completely consistent. Finally
the characteristics of the two methods and several issues in the application of SEM and NMR test are discussed.
