摘要:

水对岩石风化具有重要控制作用,但人们对非露天岩石表层的水分来源一直认识不足。本文以我国北方云冈石窟的岩石壁面为例,利用频域反射技术开展了岩石浅表层含水率监测,利用2020年5月至2021年5月逐小时的岩石视含水率数据为例,识别了夏季和冬季岩石含水率波动的控制机理。从6月初到10月初,大气湿度变化是岩石视含水率先增大后减小的直接控制因素,当存在指向山体内部的大气湿度梯度时,水汽迁移至岩石孔隙内,发生毛细凝聚转变为液态水,从而引起视含水率增大;当存在指向山体外部的大气湿度梯度时,岩石孔隙内的液态水蒸发,从而引起岩石视含水率下降。从10月中旬至次年6月初,岩石普遍较干燥,但是12月中旬浅部岩石含水率在冻结吸力控制下还是会发生明显增大现象,表明岩石中存在可迁移、可发生化学风化的弱结合水。本研究识别了非露天石质文物壁面水分的一种重要来源,加深了对凝结水形成机理及其对风化控制作用的认识,可为石质文物保护提供决策依据。

Abstract:

Water plays an important role in controlling rock weathering, but there is still limited understanding of the source of rock moisture in rocks not directly exposed to sunshine and rainfall. In this study, a cave wall of the Yungang Grottoes in northern China is selected as an example for rock moisture measurement using the frequency domain reflection (FDR) method. Using the hourly monitoring data on the apparent rock water content at the rockwall between May 2020 to May 2021, different mechanisms controlling rock moisture fluctuations in summer and winter are identified. From early June to early October, the change of atmospheric humidity is the direct controlling factor for the increase and decrease of the rock moisture at the rockwall. Specifically, when atmospheric humidity gradient points to the interior of the mountain, water vapor migrates into the porous rock and condenses into liquid water, which increases rock moisture; inversely, liquid water within the rock evaporates thus decreases rock moisture. From middle October to early June, although the rock is relatively dry, the apparent rock water content of the rockwall surface layer still increases significantly in mid-December via cryosuction-induced water migration. This indicates that there is weakly bound water in the rockwall which can migrate and promote chemical weathering. By identifying an important moisture source in stone heritages, this study deepens the understanding of the rock weathering mechanism, and provides a decision-making basis for the conservation of stone heritages.
