Research on Interaction Mechanisms Between Expansive Soils and Water Well Drilling Rig

Three major interaction mechanisms revealed through laboratory tests:rig pengeboran sumur air

 

  1. Hydraulic coupling effect:
    Mud pressure increases pore water pressure in expansive soils, raising swelling force by 20%–30%.
  2. Thermal effect:
    Bit friction generates heat (temperature rise up to 40℃), intensifying soil shrinkage.
  3. Mechanical disturbance effect:
    Drill tool vibration destroys soil structure, reducing cohesion by 40%.
