The invention discloses a soft
rock weathering and breaking experimental apparatus and an experimental method thereof. The soft
rock weathering and breaking experimental apparatus is placed on a frequency modulatable vibrating table and is provided with a transparent inner
barrel and an outer
barrel. A required volume of water can be added by a water inlet on a
barrel upper cover; a water outlet and a gas delivery opening are formed at the bottom of the experimental apparatus; a plurality of
layers of round hole
sieve plates are arranged in the inner barrel; hole diameters of the round hole
sieve plates are sequentially decreased from top to bottom according to a standard
sieve hole size of a laboratory; micro high-strength frequency modulatable fluorescent lamps and monitoring probes are placed in the interval between the inner barrel and the outer barrel above each sieve; geotechnical cloth is arranged for isolating soil and filtering water. According to the soft
rock weathering and breaking experimental apparatus and experimental method which are disclosed by the invention, effects of variable natural factors on soft rocks are controlled in a room by
simulation so as to research influence of each factor on soft rock
weathering; by the monitoring probes, the
weathering and breaking process of each layer of soft rock particles can be observed and recorded, and the weathered broken rock particles can be automatically sieved and are continuously weathered and broken; the soft rock
weathering and breaking experimental apparatus and experimental method have the advantages of being visual, convenient, rapid, accurate and the like.
