城市河道淤泥特性及改良试验初探

以南京内秦淮河疏浚淤泥为例,通过土工试验、XRD和X射线荧光光谱试验等方法,研究了城市河道淤泥的物理性质、矿物成分、化学成分等特性。试验结果显示:秦淮河淤泥粘粒含量低、有机质含量极高,矿物成分主要有石英和少量粘土矿物等。为了实现淤泥的资源化处理,运用水泥、石灰无机固化材料对淤泥进行固化改良试验及改性土无侧限抗压强度试验,结果表明随着水泥掺量增加,水泥固化土由塑性破坏向脆性破坏过渡,破坏应变在1.8%~2.2%,而石灰固化土均表现为脆性破坏,且破坏应变小于水泥土,为1%左右。水泥固化土28d强度为670kPa,固化效果优于石灰,但略低于处理一般软土的固化土强度。研究结果对处置城市河道淤泥有一定参考价值。     

循环荷载下石灰改良膨胀土临界动应力的探讨

为探讨各影响因素对石灰改良膨胀土临界动应力的影响规律与程度,进行了振动三轴试验,获得了不同含水率与振动频率下石灰改良膨胀土的临界动应力。基于本文的试验结果,通过石灰改良膨胀土脆性破坏机理分析和临界动应力的影响因素探讨表明,由于石灰的改性作用,导致改良后膨胀土的塑性降低,表现出脆性性质;质量控制指标（掺灰比和压实系数）是影响石灰改良膨胀土临界动应力的决定性因素;由于改性后动力水稳定性较好,石灰改良膨胀土临界动应力受含水率变化的影响有限;而外部动静荷载形式与程度(振动频率和围压)的影响程度较弱。即在保证掺灰比和压实系数的前提下,石灰改良膨胀土的临界动应力能够维持在一个比较稳定的范围内。     

冻融循环对石灰处置粉质黏土静强度影响研究

以吉林－荒岗高速公路沿线的粉质黏土为研究对象,对不同石灰掺入比的土样试件进行0、2、4、6、8、10、12次冻融循环试验。通过室内静三轴试验,研究了冻融循环作用对石灰处置粉质黏土强度的影响。研究结果表明,石灰处置粉质黏土的应力-应变关系曲线呈应变软化型,峰值强度随围压增大而升高,粉质黏土峰值强度降低幅度值比石灰处置粉质黏土峰值强度降低幅度值大,经历4次冻融后应力-应变曲线峰值强度趋于稳定;冻融作用后石灰处置粉质黏土抗剪强度衰减率比粉质黏土的抗剪强度衰减率小,抗剪强度随围压的升高而增大;同一围压条件下石灰处置粉质黏土弹性模量随着冻融次数增加逐渐减小,经历4次冻融后基本趋于稳定。

考虑干湿循环路径的石灰改性红黏土路用性能试验研究

红黏土是一种对环境湿、热变化敏感的高塑性黏土,用作路基填料时,为改善其路用性能,并延长路基使用寿命,工程中通常掺入一定剂量的石灰对其进行改性。在地下水、降雨入渗和蒸发等自然营力作用下,运营期间路基土的含水率反复变动会对其工程特性产生一定影响。采用两种与实际工况接近的典型干湿路径,开展红黏土及其石灰改性土的强度和变形特性对比试验研究。试验结果表明：均匀干湿循环作用下,石灰改性土的黏聚力减小,内摩擦角小幅度增大,抗剪强度略高于红黏土,改性效果不明显;定向干湿循环作用下,石灰改性土的收缩裂缝较少,强度和变形参数均显著提高,路用性能得到明显改善。     

水泥土搅拌桩软土地基土体动力特性的共振柱试验研究

开展对水泥土搅拌桩软土地基土体试样的GDS（Global Distribution System）共振柱试验,研究不同剪应变、围压、水泥土置换率对土体动力特性的影响。结果表明,水泥土搅拌桩软土地基土体的动剪切模量G和阻尼比D随剪应变? 变化趋势与软黏土一致,在小应变范围内围压和置换率对土体的动剪切模量G和阻尼比D的影响显著,随着剪应变? 增大,围压和置换率的影响减弱;水泥土搅拌桩软土地基土体的最大动剪切模量Gmax与围压表现出良好的线性关系,围压越大,提高水泥土的置换率对土体最大动剪切模量Gmax增强效果越明显。研究结果可为地区水泥土搅拌桩软土地基土体动力参数的取值提供一定的参考。     

基于工程包边法的膨胀土抗剪强度干湿循环效应试验研究

根据包边法施工中填芯重塑膨胀土和包边石灰改性膨胀土的实际工程状态,设计了反映其运营状态的干湿循环过程,对6次干湿循环前、后膨胀土的强度特性进行了较为系统地试验研究。结果表明,在压实度为90%~96%时,干湿循环前重塑膨胀土和石灰改性膨胀土慢剪强度及强度参数均随干密度单调增加,而干湿循环后其黏聚力c随干密度单调增加,干密度对内摩擦角φ的影响则明显变小;重塑膨胀土和石灰改性膨胀土干湿循环后的残余强度受干密度制约性不大,但干湿循环前、后重塑膨胀土和石灰改性膨胀土的残余强度参数存在差异,且干湿循环幅度对膨胀土强度参数也有一定的影响;在分析干湿循环前、后反复剪切试验结果及膨胀土边坡长期破坏机制的基础上,认为对于膨胀土路堤,在进行强度参数选取时宜适当考虑干湿循环及其幅度对于残余强度参数的影响;利用石灰改性膨胀土包边处理填筑膨胀土路基较为适宜。

石灰改良膨胀土的应力-应变-强度特征与本构描述

为探讨石灰改良膨胀土的变形特征与破坏机制,以压实度为95 %的荆门石灰改良膨胀土为研究对象,开展了单轴、侧限、三轴压缩应力状态下的力学性质试验。试验结果表明：即使湿化饱和后石灰土也具有较高的刚度与强度;单轴压缩状态下,无论饱和还是非饱和状态,石灰土的破坏都为典型的脆性破坏;三轴压缩状态下石灰土破坏前剪缩,同时伴随应变强化,即将破坏时开始剪胀,随后表现为应变软化;围压对石灰土的脆性破坏与破坏后的剪胀有一定的抑制作用,但即使在200 kPa围压下,试样仍发生脆性破坏。在辨明石灰土应力、变形机制的基础上,选用Duncan模型描述其脆性破坏前表现出的压硬性、剪缩性与应变强化特性,标定了相应模型参数,通过数值模拟与平行试验的对比验证了模型的适用性与参数的可靠性。

Experimental Study of Tunis Soft Soil Improved by Deep Mixing Column

Tunis soft clay belongs to the category of problematic soils because of its weak strength characteristics, high compressibility and high content of organic matter (22%). Deep mixing column (DM) presents a well-developed technique to improve the properties of Tunis soft soils by increasing its bearing capacity and reducing settlements. This paper describes a laboratory experimental program performed to assess the effectiveness in improving the shear strength of Tunis soft clay. The two mains objectives of this research are to evaluate the effect of reinforcement by DM on the behaviour of the Tunis soft clay and to investigate parameters of influence on its strength characteristics. Five parameters are studied from the performed tests: (1) curing time: CT = 7, 14, 21 and 28 days; (2) injection pressure: IP = 50, 100 and 150 kPa; (3) water–cement ratio w/C = 0.7, 1 and 1.2; (4) rotation rate V = 15, 30 and 40 rpm and (5) consolidation pressure: б₃ = 100, 150 and 200 kPa.     

The impact of cyclic wetting and drying on the swelling behaviour of stabilized expansive soils

Black cotton soil (BCS) deposits, stabilized with waste materials-wood-ash and organic matter (leaves, grass, etc.) exist in BCS areas of North Karnataka, India. These ash-modified soils (AMS) are apparently stabilized by hydrated lime produced by biochemical, dissolution, and hydration reactions. The influence of cyclic wetting and drying on the swelling behaviour of wood-ash-modified BCS and laboratory lime-treated BCS specimens are examined in this study. Such a study is required to assess the long-term behaviour of chemically stabilized soils in geotechnical applications. Cyclic wetting and drying caused the AMS specimens to become more porous and less saturated. Consequently, the cyclically wetted and dried (or desiccated) AMS specimens collapsed significantly at the experimental flooding pressures. The beneficial effects of lime-stabilization of the BCS specimens were also partially lost in cyclically wetting and drying them. The clay contents of the lime-treated BCS specimens increased on cyclic wetting and drying. The increased clay contents in turn, affected their Atterberg limits and swell–shrink potentials. Partial loss of inter-particle cementation, increased porosity, and reduced degree of saturation, also imparted small to moderate collapse potentials to the desiccated lime-treated BCS specimens.     

On the black cotton soils of North Cameroon

During detailed geotechnical prospecting in North Cameroon, extensive black cotton soil deposits were encountered. Based on classification tests, three samples were selected for mineralogical analysis. The results indicated that the predominant clay mineral was the halloysite governing the geotechnical properties and behaviour of the cotton soils. New correlations were established between clay mineral content and Atterberg limits of the investigated materials.     

冲击荷载作用下结构性软黏土力学特性试验研究

冲击荷载作用对土体力学特性影响较大,为了研究此特性,基于天津滨海结构性软黏土,以空心圆柱扭剪仪模拟冲击荷载作用,并在冲击荷载作用前后对土体进行不固结不排水三轴试验,对比研究不同试验条件下结构性软黏土力学特性。试验结果表明:低围压常规三轴剪切试验状态下,土体表现出弱应变软化现象,且土体抗剪强度包线不能用直线表示,而是可由两条直线近似拟合而成;冲击荷载作用时,在一定应力范围内,冲击荷载越大,土体轴向应变、孔隙压力以及主应力差峰值也越大;冲击荷载作用后三轴剪切试验各围压下土体都呈应变硬化型,主应力差峰值均大幅减小,且土体抗剪强度包线均可用直线表示,c、φ值也远小于未受冲击荷载时三轴剪切试验相应数值。最后,总结分析冲击荷载作用对软黏土强度的影响,并拟合得到强度折减与围压、冲击荷载的关系,为实际工程中承受冲击荷载的结构性软黏土强度确定提供参考。     

荆门弱膨胀土的胀缩与渗透特性试验研究

以荆门弱膨胀土为研究对象,开展了完整的胀缩与渗透特性试验,获得了5种不同压实度下膨胀土及其石灰改良土的胀缩与渗透特征。结果表明：膨胀土的膨胀力-干密度关系可用幂函数表达,而无荷膨胀率、有荷膨胀率、体缩率与干密度均非单调关系;由于压实与膨胀效应的耦合作用,95%压实度下膨胀土的无荷膨胀率、有荷膨胀率和体缩率均较小,若直接利用膨胀土进行路基与地基填筑,该压实度下土样不仅具备较大的刚度与强度且胀缩变形较小。经石灰改性后,膨胀力与湿胀变形基本消除,干缩变形大幅降低,胀缩总率仅为0.7%。膨胀土与石灰土渗透系数均很小,且都随干密度的增大而降低,其与干密度的关系仍可用幂函数描述;石灰土的渗透系数大于相应压实度下的膨胀土;而当二者干密度相近时,渗透系数接近。     

Role of smectite-rich shales in frequent foundation failures in southeast Nigeria

This paper investigated the geotechnical properties of smectite-rich shale, and its implications as foundation material. Ten expansive shale samples were collected from foundation materials at Akpugo in Nkanu West L.G.A. of Enugu State, southeast Nigeria. Samples were subjected to grading, Atterberg limits-cum-compaction tests, slake durability, specific gravity, permeability, undrained triaxial tests and x-ray diffraction scan. Fines and sand contents of the soil samples range from 51–97% and 3–49% respectively. Liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index have average values of 60.7, 19.1 and 43.3% respectively. Linear shrinkage and free swell showed average of 16.3% and 76%. These results are indicative of predominant clay soil with high plasticity, compressibility and water holding capacity. XRD scan established presence of smectite and illite clay minerals, confirming soil high plasticity, capable of causing instability in foundation soil. The shale achieved maximum dry density range between 1.79 and 1.94 kg/m³ at optimum moisture content range of 6.9–12.8%, indicating poor to fair foundation materials. The shale cohesion ranges from 15 to 30 kPa while the angle of friction ranges between 10° and 18°, signifying an average strength soil material. Samples slake durability index and specific gravity fall within 24–55% and 2.50–2.58 respectively, suggesting non-durable and weak soil. Permeability of the samples ranges between 7.36 ×10^?6 and 4.77 ×10^?8 cm/s which suggested low drainage capable of causing water-log at sites. Therefore, the shale could be generally classified as poor to fair foundation material, which on moisture influx experience reduction in strength due to deterioration of its constituent minerals, especially clay and cement materials during the lifespan of engineering structures. Authors therefore recommend modification of foundation soil, appropriate foundation design and good drainage control as ways of improving stability of engineering structures underlain by expansive shale.
