The purpose of this study is to reveal the response of multi Lane pre disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone embankment under vehicle dynamic load. In this paper, the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone samples whose fractal dimension meets the requirements are obtained through the indoor disintegration test of carbonaceous mudstone. Geotechnical basic tests such as particle analysis experiments, compaction tests, and direct shear tests were carried out on the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone samples, and the physical and mechanical parameters of the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone were obtained. On this basis, a two-way 4-lane pre-disintegration carbonaceous mudstone embankment model of the expressway was established by ABAQUS numerical software. Three different working conditions are set up to study the dynamic response of multi-lane pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone embankment under vehicle load. The results show that the stress change trend on the surface of the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone embankment without vehicles is the same as that on the side with vehicles. Under this condition, the vertical displacement of the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone embankment surface can be as high as 4.33mm, and the vertical displacement change of the embankment in the 0-0.6s phase is basically the same as the stress amplitude distribution. When a traffic jam occurs on one side, the maximum increase in vertical stress on the surface of the embankment on the normal driving side is about 170 kPa compared to condition one, and the vertical displacement at each depth of the embankment has been significantly increased. When a traffic jam occurs on one side, it can significantly increase the vertical stress on the surface of the pre-disintegrated carbonaceous mudstone embankment in this lane. The middle part of the stress time curve of monitoring points 3 and 4 in working condition three is more stable and significant than in working condition one, and the maximum vertical displacement is increased by about 1.70mm. The research results can reference the stability analysis of carbonaceous mudstone embankments and engineering practice.

Article Synopsis
  • The southern Junggar sub-basin contains coal-bearing source rocks from the Lower and Middle Jurassic eras, and Rock-Eval analysis was used to evaluate their hydrocarbon generation potential and kerogen types.
  • The study found that the source rocks mostly have type III kerogen, with a significant relationship between liptinite content and maximum gas yield, although accurate measurement of liptinite relies on the expertise of the analyst.
  • The research indicates promising gas conversion rates (52-74%) from these rocks, especially highlighting the gas generation potential from certain formations like the Badaowan and Sangonghe, suggesting future exploration opportunities.

The upper Permian Longtan Formation is widely distributed in southwestern China and is well known for multilayer coal and high organic shale, with significant shale gas potential that has yet to be fully explored and developed. The Longtan coal-bearing strata are composed of complex lithological assemblages of fine-grained sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, coal, shale, and limestone, which exhibit significant differences from marine shale. To better understand the organic-rich lithofacies, their distribution, and their controlling factors, this study carried out a detailed survey of the outcrop and drill cores in the western Guizhou region and examined the fine-grained lithofacies, their assemblages, and their geochemical characteristics.

Sedimentary organic facies cover the formation, evolution, and spatial distribution characteristics of organic matter, and they are effective tools for oil and gas resource evaluation and basin prospect prediction. According to the basic organic rock composition of the sedimentary organic facies, combined with the sedimentary facies and organic matter geochemical characteristics of Carboniferous-Permian strata, the characteristics of organic facies and hydrocarbon-generation potential of Upper Paleozoic source rocks in Huanghua Depression are being discussed. The results show that source rocks of Taiyuan and Shanxi Formations in the study area were oil-prone, and the oil-generation potential of mudstone is greater than that of carbonaceous mudstone and coal.
