偏高岭土协同石灰钝化红黏土水敏性的机制

红黏土水敏性强,添加石灰等碱性材料处治后,能获得即刻的改良效果,但由于红黏土呈弱酸性,石灰改良后其长期性能会衰减。为提高石灰稳定红黏土（简称La+L）的长期性能,添加偏高岭土（4%）协同石灰（5%）稳定红黏土（简称La+L+MK）,改善其水敏性和酸?碱互损作用。制备8种初始含水率的压实试样（初始孔隙比相同）,养护到预定时间后开展无侧限抗压强度试验,同时,测定试样的钙离子浓度、电导率和pH值。结果表明：初始含水率为26%左右时,改良土的无侧限抗压强度最高,初始含水率偏高或偏低都不利于改良土的强度增长。究其原因,试样偏干时,缺少水分,石灰水化不充分,不能形成游离态钙离子,无法进行火山灰反应,颗粒之间无法形成胶结;试样偏湿时,火山灰反应形成的胶结强度不及过量水分引起的基质吸力丧失量。试样的钙离子浓度和电导率变化规律,证实了以上原因解释的猜想。当然,添加偏高岭土后,能够显著改善偏湿状态下的石灰土强度。即使浸水饱和后,相对石灰改良土,也能够保持较高的强度,充分证明偏高岭土能够有效降低石灰土水敏性,提高其耐久性。偏高岭土直接提供了大量硅、铝氧化物,且将土体pH值降到有利于硅、铝氧化物溶解的碱性范围,加速火山灰反应,缓减或抑制石灰?红黏土的互损作用。     

冻融循环作用下冻结黏土矿物物理力学性质研究

冻土工程破坏主要的原因之一是冻融循环作用。通过对高岭土(主要黏土矿物为高岭石)、膨润土(主要黏土矿物为蒙脱石)在反复冻融作用下的物理性质试验及球模仪试验,研究高岭土及膨润土在冻融循环作用下的物理力学性质变化,并由此推定不同黏土矿物含量土在冻融循环作用下物理力学的变化规律。结果表明:(1)前10次冻融循环对高岭土及膨润土的物理力学性能影响很大,冻融10次后,随冻融次数的增加,高岭土的密度下降,孔隙比增加,膨润土的密度增加,孔隙比减小;(2)冻融过程中物理性质的变化不仅与土样的种类有关,也与土样的矿物成分有关;(3)高岭土的长期强度C24远高于膨润土,但是冻融过程中高岭土的力学性能变化较大,而膨润土相对比较稳定。     

偏高岭土增强石灰-水泥固化淤泥的耐久性研究

淤泥富含有机质，分解后产生腐殖酸，进而影响淤泥固化效果。仅掺入12%水泥固化淤泥，当标准养护期超过60 d，其强度不增反减。联合掺入3%石灰和12%水泥，固化淤泥的pH值持续180 d处于10.5以上；无侧限抗压强度由750 kPa（养护期28 d）提升到1 500 kPa（120 d），说明借助石灰营造强碱性环境，可以提高水泥固化淤泥的强度；但养护到180 d后，其强度又降到1 250 kPa；钙离子浓度变化规律表明，这是由于腐殖酸溶蚀水泥和石灰的水化胶结物所致。借助偏高岭土卓越的火山灰反应能力，掺入3.0%偏高岭土，提升石灰（3%）?水泥（12%）固化淤泥的耐久性，发现180 d养护期内，其强度始终处于增长趋势，究其原因是偏高岭土富含无定形硅、铝氧化物，具有快速捕获氢氧化钙溶液中钙离子的能力，形成稳定的胶结物，而且不易受腐殖酸的侵蚀作用，证明偏高岭土能够有效提升石灰?水泥固化淤泥长期强度。     

石灰-偏高岭土改良遗址土强度劣化特性的冻融循环效应

中原地区处于季冻区,周期性冻结与融化对遗址土体结构有显著影响。为探究石灰偏高岭土(L-MK)在抗冻融循环方面替代天然水硬性石灰(NHL)用于土遗址修复工作的可行性,以石灰、偏高岭土和遗址土为主要原料,对经历不同冻融循环次数的L-MK改良土试样分别进行质量损失测试、无侧限抗压强度试验和劈裂抗拉强度试验,系统研究其强度特性的冻融循环效应;并取部分试样进行X射线衍射(XRD)、热重(TG)、电镜扫描(SEM)等微观试验,揭示L-MK改良土强度劣化规律的内在机制。结果表明：试验配合比下,L-MK改良土的抗冻性能优于NHL改良土,偏高岭土掺量的增加有助于提高L-MK改良土强度;随着冻融循环次数的增加,L-MK改良土应力-应变曲线的应变软化特征呈减弱趋势,无侧限抗压强度和劈裂抗拉强度单调衰减,但经历30次冻融循环后L-MK改良土无侧限抗压强度和劈裂抗拉强度分别高于NHL改良土3.79倍和1.16倍以上。这与L-MK及NHL改良土生成的水化产物(CSH和C₄AH₁₃等)受冻融循环的影响规律基本一致。     

重塑石灰土的力学特征与性能劣化机制分析

石灰土在公路等工程中应用很广泛,随着公路改扩建等工程的迅速增多,面临如何处理与利用废弃石灰土的难题。通过对比分析素土、石灰土、重塑石灰土的压缩、强度等力学指标,探讨重塑石灰土的力学特征。结果表明,重塑石灰土压缩系数与石灰土相比提高了2～3倍,无侧限抗压强度损失了30%～40%,内摩擦角增大了1.2倍,黏聚力降低了40%。提出用劣化系数评价重塑石灰土的力学特性劣化程度,并从石灰处治红黏土的团粒化、碳化、灰结机制等角度分析了重塑石灰土性能劣化的本质原因。与素土相比,石灰土的黏粒（d <0.002 mm）含量减少而粗粒（d >0.074 mm）含量增加,从而提高了石灰土的内摩擦角。但重塑过程则破化了石灰土中的胶结结构致使重塑石灰土的黏聚力降低,从而影响重塑石灰土的其他力学性能指标。     

重塑石灰土的强度恢复方法与机制初探

石灰稳定土工程翻修改造后会产生大量的石灰土弃渣,为避免污染环境和节约工程投资,需重新利用破碎的石灰土进行填筑。但石灰土破碎后强度急剧降低,需要添加胶凝材料提升其力学性能。以重塑石灰土为研究对象,通过添加5%石灰或水泥进行再改良,对比分析两种再改良土的强度和压缩性等力学指标,结果表明,石灰再改良土的力学特性优于水泥再改良土。借助粒度分析、电镜扫描、X衍射和热重分析试验手段揭示了石灰再改良土性能优越的内在机制,发现石灰再改良土中的石灰和石灰土团粒能形成很好的胶结;但水泥未能和石灰土团粒形成有效胶结,自身形成了边-面和边-边接触的片状多孔架构。重塑石灰土残存的氢氧化钙是引起水泥再改良土性能劣于石灰再改良土的主要诱因。     

不同温控曲线对石灰改良黄土强度影响研究

青海季节性冻土地区工程建设受冻融循环作用和黄土湿陷性的双重影响,工程上常采用石灰与黄土拌和作为垫层材料以满足工程要求,但冻融循环作用依旧对地基土体的性能有所影响。为探究青海季节性地区气候变化对地基土所带来的不利影响,采用3种温控曲线（1#、2#和3#温控曲线）模拟了青海季节性冻土地区气候变化规律,通过无侧限抗压强度试验和SEM等微观试验,分析不同温控曲线对2∶8、3∶7灰土强度和微观结构的变化规律。结果表明3∶7和2∶8灰土的应力-应变关系均呈现应变软化型,0~6次冻融过程中试样的无侧限抗压强度随着冻融循环次数的增加逐渐降低,继续增加冻融循环次数后其强度有所上升;冻融循环6次时灰土内部孔隙分布相较于冻融20次时多,且随着冻融循环次数的增加颗粒间接触方式由点-点、点-面接触向面-面接触转变;1#温控曲线的微观定量参数较2#、3#温控曲线变化明显,经历1#曲线时试样内部孔隙更为圆滑,结构排列疏松,1#温控曲线对试样结构和强度的影响程度相对较弱。     

改良粉土强度的冻融循环效应与微观机制

为了研究冻融循环对改良粉土强度的影响规律及其作用机制,开展了不同初始压实度和初始含水率试样的冻融循环试验。对经历不同冻融循环次数作用后的试样进行无侧限抗压强度试验,探讨了冻融循环作用对改良粉土的长期强度的影响规律。试验结果表明,随着冻融循环次数增加,改良粉土的抗压强度下降,最终在6次冻融循环后趋于稳定;相同的冻融循环次数条件下,初始含水率越大,改良粉土的抗压强度衰减幅度越大。为了寻找冻融循环作用对改良粉土孔隙结构的影响规律,进而揭示冻融循环对试样结构损伤的机制,开展了改良粉土的细观孔隙结构试验。试验结果表明,不同的冻融循环次数和初始含水率对小孔径孔隙（ 10 nm）之间的结构影响不大;冻融循环作用主要损伤了大孔径孔隙（0.01～100 μm）之间的结构,从而降低了改良粉土的强度。     

偏高岭土协同石灰抑制红黏土收缩的行为与机制

红黏土失水易收缩开裂而诱发工程灾害,为抑制或缓减红黏土的收缩特征,添加4%偏高岭土和5%石灰改善其水敏性。按照最优含水率制备压实试样,养护180 d后抽真空饱和,脱湿到预定含水率,随后开展收缩、无侧限抗压强度、吸力和孔隙分析等试验。结果表明,压实红黏土随着含水率降低,其无侧限抗压强度呈现先增大后减少的变化规律,这是脱湿导致的红黏土衍生微裂隙,进而引起结构性损伤所致。红黏土掺入石灰,尤其是掺入石灰-偏高岭土后,虽然脱湿也会引起强度减小,但接近完全干燥时,其强度又会增大。由此说明,偏高岭土协同石灰可以更加有效地抑制红黏土收缩效应,提高其整体强度。究其原因,是偏高岭土含有大量无定形硅、铝氧化物,且呈现边-面“搭接”的独特结构形态,使其能够快速捕获氢氧化钙溶液中的钙离子,在红黏土团（颗）粒间形成了胶结性水化物。     

生石灰改良黄土的微观机制试验研究

为探究石灰掺量对黄土强度的影响规律及其微观机制,采用不同比例的生石灰对黄土进行改良。开展了直剪试验、压汞试验及扫描电镜测试,定性和定量分析素黄土及不同石灰掺量改良黄土的强度特性和微观结构变化规律,并对石灰改良黄土的微观机理进行较为深入的分析。结果表明:石灰改良黄土的抗剪强度参数随着石灰掺量的增大出现先增大再减小的变化规律,在石灰掺量约为8%时,其黏聚力和内摩擦角达到最大值;石灰的掺入使黄土骨架颗粒之间及其表面附着的胶结物逐渐增多,孔隙被胶结物质填充,土体中的不稳定孔隙逐渐减少,整体性增强;但当石灰掺量过大时,多余的石灰会堆积于团粒之间,影响团粒之间的胶结。石灰改良黄土强度提高的原因是石灰水化反应生成的胶结物质增强了土颗粒之间的胶结程度,增大颗粒间的相互摩擦,使土体结构更加稳定,提高土体强度;石灰掺量过高时,改良黄土抗剪强度降低是因为过量的石灰影响了土颗粒之间的胶结作用。研究成果既是对黄土强度特性及微观结构理论研究的丰富与充实,又可以为改良黄土工程设计的相关参数选取提供参考依据。      

Mineralogical and chemical characterization of historical mortars from military fortifications in Lisbon harbour (Portugal)

Historical mortars from sixteenth to seventeenth century military forts located at the mouth of the Tagus River in Lisbon have been characterized by polarized light microscopy (PLM), thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy + energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM + EDS). The results indicate that the mortars used were all hydraulic lime-based. The presence of well-rounded lime lumps indicates a limited use of water during the lime hydration process. The detection of hydrated calcium chloroaluminate and carboaluminate compounds mostly at binder-aggregate interfaces provides evidence for the onset of pozzolanic reactions during mortar production as further confirmed by the presence of ceramic fragments in the aggregate fractions intentionally added by the fort builders to increase the hydraulic properties of the mortars. The higher mechanical strength and greater resistance to degradation processes imparted by these pozzolanic compounds could explain why, despite the extreme proximity of the investigated sites to the sea, salt weathering processes do not appear to have significantly affected the studied mortars.     

Assessment of the physico-mechanical behaviour of gypsum-lime repair mortars as a function of curing time

Gypsum-based mortars were widely used during the Mudejar artistic period in Spain from the 12th to 16th century. During restoration works, compatibility between the new repair mortars and the original components is essential for an adequate intervention on the monument. The increasing interest of knowing the properties of the gypsum-lime-based mortars for restoration purposes justifies the research carried out. Different mortars compatible with traditional building materials were elaborated by varying the binder proportions, the type of aggregates, the binder/aggregate ratios and the curing time. The main goal of this paper is to characterize the mechanical behaviour and the pore structure of the mortars as a function of curing time. The influence between the different variables used to prepare the mortars and the development of the carbonation process over time is also considered. Mechanical strength and porosity measurements as well as X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis were performed after curing times of 1, 28 and 90 days. The results obtained confirmed a progressive increase in mechanical strength linked to the carbonation of the mortars prepared. Less lime binder and also aggregate contents showed the highest rise in strength over time, related to the highest initial porosity which favoured the carbon dioxide flow. The use of siliceous aggregates (GL-QS mortars) obtained the best results in the development of physico-mechanical properties over curing time. The knowledge obtained from the studied mortars provides practical information to establish a suitable mortar mixture for restoration works on historic buildings and modern architecture where gypsum-lime-based mortars are used.     

Effect of Natural Zeolite and Cement Additive on the Strength of Sand

It is widely known and well emphasized that the cemented sand is one of economic and environmental topics in soil stabilization. In some instances, a blend of sand, cement and other materials such as fiber, glass, nano particle and zeolite can commercially be available and effectively used in soil stabilization especially in road construction. In regard to zeolite, its influence and effectiveness on the properties of cemented sands systems has not been completely explored. Hence, in this study, based on an experimental program, it has been tried to investigate the potential of a zeolite stabilizer known as additive material to improve the properties of cemented sands. A total number of 216 unconfined compression tests were carried out on cured samples in 7, 28 and 90 days. Results show unconfined compression strength and failure properties improvements of cement sand specimens when cement replaced by zeolite at optimum proportions of 30 % after 28 days due to pozzolanic reaction. The rate of strength improvement is approximately 20–78 and 20–60 % for 28 and 90 days curing times respectively. The efficiency of using zeolite has been enhanced by increasing the cement content and porosity of the compacted mixture. The replacement of cement by natural zeolite led to an increase of the pH after 14 days. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) tests demonstrate that the materials with the zeolite mixture reveal stronger adsorptive capacity of COD in compare to cemented mixture. Scanning electron microscope images show that adding zeolite in cemented sand changes the microstructure (filling large porosity and pozzolanic reaction) that results in increasing strength.     

球形模板压入仪在冻土长期强度测试中的应用

球形模板压入仪（球模仪）在前苏联和俄罗斯等冻土区土力学性质测试中得到广泛应用。在60多年的工程实践中,试验理论、方法等方面都得到了完善。因其试验简单易行且测试结果能较好地反映冻结土的力学性质,特别是在冻结土黏聚力的长期强度评价及预测方面广泛应用。简要介绍该试验理论、试验方法、试验仪器。以莫斯科郊外冰碛粉质黏土作为研究对象。在恒定-7～20 ℃温度条件下,在封闭状态下分别进行3、6、20、40次冻融循环试验。对各试验阶段土样进行物理性质测试,之后用球模仪对冻结土样进行强度测试。冻融循环后土样的各物理指标均有不同程度的减小,随着冻融次数的增加,其强度降低。冻融过程中,土样中水体积的变化使其密度减小、孔隙率增大是造成这一结果的原因。     

Long-term behavior of lime-stabilized kaolinite clay

Clay soils create many problems for highway construction and they have to be replaced or improved by stabilization for satisfactory performance. Lime stabilization is a well-established technique to improve the performance of clays. Cementitious minerals form upon mixing of clay with lime causing an improvement in strength and durability. In the study, the changes in the microfabric of long-term cured lime-stabilized kaolinite clay using X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscope and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is presented. Unconfined compression test samples at two different lime contents (4 and 12% by weight) were prepared and cured in a humidity room for long time curing. The UCS of pure kaolinite was originally 125 kPa, which increased to 1,015 kPa after 1 month and to 2,640 kPa (21 times the initial value) after 10 years for cured lime-stabilized kaolinite samples. Similar long-term strength increases were also observed for stabilized kaolinite with 12% lime. Calcium aluminate silicate hydrate minerals were detected in the structure of the kaolinite. This suggests pozzolanic reactions with lime stabilization may continue in the long-term for up to 10 years.     

Sulfation of calcitic and dolomitic lime mortars in the presence of diesel particulate matter

The sulfation of four types of calcitic and dolomitic lime mortars exposed to SO₂ in the presence of particulate matter from diesel vehicle exhaust emissions has been investigated. The binders mineralogy and mortars texture are the main factors influencing the formation of deleterious sulfate salts. The type of binder also influences the pore size distribution and the total porosity of the mortars: for equal aggregate (quartz or dolomite), dolomitic lime mortars have smaller pores and higher porosity than calcitic ones. During the first 24 h exposure to SO₂, calcitic lime mortars undergo a higher weight increase than dolomitic ones due to rapid formation of gypsum on their surface. However, at the end of the sulfation test (10 days), dolomitic mortars show a higher weight increase due to massive formation of epsomite and gypsum, which is facilitated by their higher porosity and the high reactivity of Mg phases in the porous and partially carbonated binder. Control samples (not covered with diesel particulate matter) also develop calcium and magnesium sulfates upon long term exposure to SO₂. This is due to the presence of uncarbonated Ca and Mg hydroxides that promote SO₂ fixation as sulfates. However, the amount and size of sulfate crystals are significantly smaller than those observed on samples covered with diesel particulate matter. These results show that diesel particulate matter enhances the sulfation of lime mortars and demonstrate that sulfation of dolomitic lime is an important mechanism for the in situ formation of highly soluble and deleterious hydrated magnesium sulfates (epsomite and hexahydrite). The use of dolomitic limes in the conservation of monuments exposed to air pollution in urban environments may therefore pose a significant risk.     

冻融循环对不同孔隙率页岩相似材料影响的试验研究

基于地质力学模型试验的相似理论,针对寒区岩体工程,分别制作了5种不同孔隙率的页岩相似材料,进行冻融循环试验,探究不同孔隙率的页岩相似材料在冻融前后,其主要物理力学参数的变化规律。试验研究表明：在冻融循环后,页岩相似材料的单轴抗压强度、三轴抗压强度、弹性模量、粘聚力、内摩擦角有不同程度的减小,孔隙率、泊松比有不同程度的增大。页岩相似材料的物理力学参数受冻融循环的影响随孔隙率的增大先增大后减小,孔隙率处于9.4%~13.6%时,受冻融循环影响最大;孔隙率处于5.8%~9.4%时,受冻融循环的影响随孔隙率的增大有增大的趋势;孔隙率处于13.9%~19.1%时,受冻融循环的影响随孔隙率的增大有减小的趋势。研究结果可以为西部寒区的岩土工程建设和减灾提供相关的科学依据。     

冻融循环作用下木质素磺酸钙改良黄土的力学特性研究

木质素磺酸钙作为一种绿色环保的改良材料,近年来被应用于土体加固领域。为探究木质素磺酸钙对黄土的固化效果,通过开展侧限浸水压缩试验、冻融循环试验、不固结不排水三轴剪切试验、扫描电镜试验和X射线衍射试验,分析冻融循环次数、掺量和围压对木质素磺酸钙改良黄土力学性质和微观机理的影响规律。研究结果表明：掺入木质素磺酸钙,可有效消除黄土的湿陷性。此外,改良黄土的应力-应变曲线随木质素磺酸钙掺量的增加向一般硬化型转变,而随着冻融循环次数的增加,应力-应变曲线向弱硬化型转变。改良黄土的破坏强度随木质素磺酸钙掺量的增加呈先增大后减小的趋势,木质素磺酸钙掺量为1%时破坏强度最高,各掺量改良黄土随冻融循环次数的增加先减小后趋于稳定,同时抗剪强度指标呈现下降的趋势。通过扫描电镜试验和X射线衍射试验,发现改良黄土内部有胶结物生成并填充了土颗粒间的孔隙,使土体密实度提高,进而提高土体强度;而冻融作用导致土颗粒的接触方式由面-面接触向点-点、点-面接触过渡。此外,木质素磺酸钙改良黄土中未发现有新的矿物成分生成,且冻融作用未造成土体矿物成分的消解。     

冻融循环对黏质粗粒土单轴抗压性能影响的试验研究

循环冻融作用下粗粒土的力学性质对于高寒地区边坡稳定性分析意义重大。以藏区某一排土场土体作为依托,开展了不同冻融循环次数后不同级配黏质粗粒土的单轴压缩试验,研究冻融循环作用对黏质粗粒土单轴抗压性能的影响。结果表明：冻融循环作用对黏质粗粒土应力-应变关系曲线性状及破坏模式有一定的影响,可使其应变呈现由脆性破坏（软化）向塑性流动（硬化）变化的规律。当提高冻融循环次数时,该类土体的弹模和抗压强度均显著减小,其中5~9次冻融循环前减小幅度较大,之后基本保持不变。单轴抗压性能的弱化与土样循环冻融过程中伴随的细颗粒团聚、大中孔隙增多、密实度下降有关。20次冻融循环后,该土质土样抗压强度、弹模最大降低幅度各自高达43%和77%。可见随着提高细砾组的含量,土样的抗压强度和弹模均呈现下降的趋势,这与该土样内粗、细土颗粒的比例及强度发挥机理密切相关。粗粒土单轴抗压破坏应变随冻融循环次数和细砾组含量的增加有一定的增加趋势。
