  • Publication number: 20250092625
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a device and method for collecting heat bags and solidifying and filling calcareous sand foundation, belonging to the field of civil engineering geological treatment technology. The solar heat collection bag comprises a transparent and permeable part and an insulation material, wherein the insulation material comprises a heat absorbing layer, an insulation layer, and a fabric layer. The heat absorbing layer, insulation layer, and fabric layer are fixedly combined from top to bottom to form an integrated transparent and permeable part. The edge of the transparent and permeable part is the first edge, and the edge of the insulation material is the second edge; The transparent heat permeable part and insulation material are combined into one through the first and second edges, forming a containment space between the transparent heat permeable part and the insulation material, so that the medium contained in the containment space can be heated by solar energy.

  • Publication number: 20230094439
    Abstract: The invention provides a self drilling side pressure simulation test device and method for a formation containing natural gas hydrate, belonging to the technical field of geotechnical mechanics. The device comprises a reactor, a cutting tool, a mud conveying mechanism and a side pressure testing device. The reactor is used to fill the simulated substance of the formation containing natural gas hydrate to be tested. The cutting tool is arranged in the reactor, and the cutting tool can move up and down relative to the reactor. One end of the mud conveying mechanism is connected with the reactor, for outputting the mud cut by the cutting tool from the reactor; The side pressure test device can complete the side pressure test experiment with the cutting tool moving to the set depth. The method is implemented based on the device. The in-situ test method can directly test the engineering mechanical parameters of the formation containing natural gas hydrate.
