掺粉煤灰-石灰对膨胀土胀缩性的影响试验研究

本文探讨利用粉煤灰、石灰-粉煤灰作为添加剂改良合肥膨胀土的可行性与改良效果。试验研究了粉煤灰、石灰-粉煤灰掺合物对膨胀土的胀缩性的影响以及养护作用对改良膨胀土胀缩性的影响。研究结果表明,随着掺灰率的增加,膨胀土的自由膨胀率、膨胀量、膨胀力与线缩率呈减小趋势,这说明掺粉煤灰可有效降低膨胀土的胀缩性。经过一定龄期养护后的击实样的膨胀试验结果表明,随着养护龄期的加长,膨胀土的膨胀量与膨胀力都有一定降低。     

粉煤灰改良膨胀土试验研究

研究掺粉煤灰对合肥膨胀土的物理性质指标以及胀缩性指标等的影响,探讨利用粉煤灰改良膨胀土的措施与效果。试验研究结果表明,在膨胀土中掺入适量的粉煤灰可有效降低膨胀土的塑性指数、降低膨胀势、减小线缩率与降低活性。在膨胀土中掺入粉煤灰还可改变膨胀土的击实特性,一定击实功作用下,随着掺灰率的增加,土体的最优含水率与最大干密度均减小,膨胀土中掺入粉煤灰后,膨胀土可在较小的含水率下通过击实或压实达到稳定。掺灰膨胀土的膨胀量与膨胀力随养护龄期的增长而减小;没有经过养护的掺灰土,其无侧限抗压强度随掺灰率的变化几乎没有变化,经过7 d养护后,土的无侧限抗压强度有所增长,并且存在一个峰值点,合肥膨胀土的无侧限抗压强度所对应的最佳掺粉煤灰率约为15 %～20 %。     

粉煤灰和二灰对桂林红黏土力学性质的影响

为了研究粉煤灰和二灰掺量及养护时间对桂林红黏土的改良效果,进行了直剪试验、固结试验以及电镜扫描试验。试验结果表明,粉煤灰的掺入提高了红黏土的抗剪强度,但超过一定量（18%粉煤灰掺量）反而会降低红黏土黏聚力,各掺量粉煤灰红黏土随养护龄期的延长,抗剪强度呈先增后缓趋势。二灰改良红黏土,在早期强度剧增,且强度随养护时间增长而大幅增加,一定龄期内,二灰红黏土黏聚力随二灰掺量呈先增后减趋势。粉煤灰和二灰的掺入均增大了红黏土的压缩模量,且随养护时间的延长而逐渐增大。红黏土中随粉煤灰、石灰的加入,发生一系列物理化学反应,从微观结构分析得知土中孔隙减少,结构性较素红黏土好。     

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。     

消石灰对膨胀土团粒化作用的研究

用消石灰作为外掺剂,进行了两种不同的膨胀土的对比试验。研究了不同灰剂量和龄期对膨胀土“团粒化”作用效果的影响。对于消石灰改性膨胀土而言,不同性质膨胀土界限含水率的改性效果不尽相同。强膨胀土的改性效果相对较为明显,而弱膨胀土的改性效果相对较差,其改性效果存在一个下限。在膨胀土路基的施工中,二次掺灰工艺的闷料周期可以相对缩短。这样不仅有利于加快施工进度,同时对提高石灰改良土碾压质量和加固效果十分有利。

石灰改良粉土的冻胀特性试验研究北大核心CSCD

粉土因毛细水发育表现出较强冻胀特性,在冻土区建设中需关注其冻害问题。土中掺入石灰是一种常见的化学土质改良方法,但石灰对粉土的冻胀特性影响尚不清晰。为研究石灰改良粉土的冻胀特性和效果,进行了开敞系统下的一维冻胀试验,分析不同掺灰量下的温度场、变形场和水分场变化规律和机理。研究发现:土样随掺灰量增大,其冻结深度先增大后减小,冻胀量和补水量持续减小,而冻胀率先减小后增大,各指标呈不同变化规律,冻胀特性复杂;一定条件下提高掺灰量可减小冻结深度和冻胀量直至低于素土,土样抗冻性提高;而随着掺灰量变化,石灰改良粉土的冻胀率始终高于素土,土样抗冻性改良不显著。因此,在实际工程中,不能仅通过单一指标评价石灰改良粉土的效果,需结合冻结深度、冻胀量和冻胀率三个指标,综合评价石灰对粉土抗冻性的改良效果。     

冻融循环下钢渣粉水泥改良膨胀土室内试验研究

膨胀土遇水膨胀失水收缩,是一种不良的工程地质土体。本文采用水泥、钢渣粉和NaOH改良膨胀土,对其经受不同冻融循环作用次数的冻融循环试验,并将冻融试验后的改良膨胀土及未改良膨胀土进行体积、自由膨胀率、无侧限抗压强度等物理力学性质测试,同时进行微观电镜扫描分析,研究冻融循环作用下钢渣粉水泥改良膨胀土的物理力学特性变化规律。试验结果表明,在冻融循环作用下,改良后的膨胀土与未改良膨胀土相比,体积变化率明显降低。随养护龄期的增长,改良后的膨胀土在冻融循环作用下体积膨胀变小,随冻融循环次数的增加,体积变化率趋于平稳,自由膨胀率降低。冻融循环作用下,钢渣粉水泥改良膨胀土(ES-SSP-C)试样的无荷膨胀率较低,改良后的膨胀土较未改良膨胀土具有较好的抗膨胀性能,掺NaOH活性激发剂的钢渣粉水泥改良膨胀土(ES-SSP-C-SH)抗膨胀性能效果最为明显。     

掺灰膨胀土表面吸附试验及吸水性验证

利用水蒸气吸附仪对石灰改性膨胀土进行水蒸气吸附试验,得出随着掺灰量的变化,膨胀土的吸水性先减小后增大,且在掺灰量为6%处取得最小值。为了研究引起膨胀土吸水性变化的主要原因,再对改性膨胀土进行氮气吸附试验,从而分析掺灰膨胀土孔隙结构的变化。研究发现,随着掺灰量的增加,BET微孔比表面积呈折线形变化,且在掺灰量为6%时取得最小值;中孔的累积容积随着掺灰量的增大而减小;随着掺灰量的增加,中孔孔径先增大后减小,且在掺灰量为6%处取得最大值。膨胀土的吸水性与中孔孔径的变化成负相关,且膨胀土的最佳掺灰量为6%。     

长龄期改良黄土抗剪强度与渗透性试验研究

为满足黄土地区建设工程对岩土材料的要求,针对长龄期条件下石灰和粉煤灰对黄土的改良作用,开展室内试验研究原土料类型、掺合材料、掺合量等因素对改良黄土抗剪强度和渗透性的影响及长龄期效应,并从微观结构和反应机理上进行了解释。研究结果表明,灰土、二灰土的强度发展和强度稳定龄期因石灰和粉煤灰发挥作用的时间不同而不同;水化反应速率变化使掺量对灰土改良土的影响表现出龄期效应;原土料的粒度成分对抗剪强度和渗透性的影响更为重要;同一改良土的强度与渗透性发展并不同步,标准龄期也宜不同,实践中应给与区分。综合各因素对改良土强度和渗透性质的影响规律,工程岩土材料设计应先区分原土料类型,后根据性质需求选择改良方式和掺量并保证龄期。     

Effect of lime and fly ash on swell,consolidation and shear strength characteristics of expansive clays: a comparative study

Expansive soils swell on absorbing water and shrink on evaporation thereof. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage, civil engineering structures founded in them are severely damaged. For counteracting the problems of expansive soils, different innovative techniques were suggested. Stabilization of expansive clays with various additives has also met with considerable success. This paper presents, by comparison, the effect of lime and fly ash on free swell index (FSI), swell potential, swelling pressure, coefficient of consolidation, compression index, secondary consolidation characteristics and shear strength. Lime content (weight of lime/weight of dry soil) was varied as 0%, 2%, 4%?and 6%?and fly ash content (weight of fly ash/weight of dry soil) as 0%, 10%?and 20%. A fly ash content of 20%?showed significant reduction in swell potential, swelling pressure, compression index and secondary consolidation characteristics and resulted in increase in maximum dry density and shear strength. Swell potential and swelling pressure decreased with increase in lime content also. Further, consolidation characteristics improved. Compaction characteristics and unconfined compression strength improved at 4%?lime and reduced at 6%?lime.     

Behavior of expansive soils stabilized with fly ash

Expansive soils cause serious problem in the civil engineering practice due to swell and shrinkage upon wetting and drying. Disposal of fly ash, which is an industrial waste in both cost-effective and environment-friendly way receives high attention in China. In this study, the potential use and the effectiveness of expansive soils stabilization using fly ash and fly ash-lime as admixtures are evaluated. The test results show that the plasticity index, activity, free swell, swell potential, swelling pressure, and axial shrinkage percent decreased with an increase in fly ash or fly ash-lime content. With the increase of the curing time for the treated soil, the swell potential and swelling pressure decreased. Soils immediately treated with fly ash show no significant change in the unconfined compressive strength. However, after 7 days curing of the fly ash treated soils, the unconfined compressive strength increased significantly. The relationship between the plasticity index and swell-shrinkage properties for pre-treated and post-treated soils is discussed.     

Coupled consolidation model for negative skin friction on piles in clay layers

Expansive soils swell on absorbing water and shrink on evaporation thereof. Because of this alternate swelling and shrinkage, civil engineering structures founded in them are severely damaged. For counteracting the problems of expansive soils, different innovative techniques were suggested. Stabilization of expansive clays with various additives has also met with considerable success. This paper presents, by comparison, the effect of lime and fly ash on free swell index (FSI), swell potential, swelling pressure, coefficient of consolidation, compression index, secondary consolidation characteristics and shear strength. Lime content was varied as 0%, 2%, 4%?and 6%?and fly ash content as 0%, 10%?and 20%. A fly ash content of 20%?showed significant reduction in swell potential, swelling pressure, compression index and secondary consolidation characteristics and resulted in increase in maximum dry density and shear strength. Swell potential and swelling pressure decreased with increase in lime content also. Further, consolidation characteristics improved. Compaction characteristics and unconfined compression strength improved at 4%?lime and reduced at 6%?lime.     

Swelling behaviour of expansive soil treated with fly ash–GGBS based binder

In this article, the potential of a binder developed by admixing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) to stabilise expansive soils is evaluated. Laboratory tests included determination of free swell index, swell potential and swelling pressure tests of the soil/binder mixtures at different mixing ratio. The test results showed decrease in the swelling behaviour of the soil with increase in binder content. The percent swell–time relationship was observed to fit the hyperbolic curves enabling us to predict the ultimate percent swell from few initial test results. Addition of 1% of lime to the binder showed further improvement in reducing swelling. A good linear relationship is established between percent oedometer swell and modified free swell index (MFSI) for soil/binder mixtures without lime but the same has not been observed in the presence of lime. The compressibility characteristics of the soil/binder mixtures reduced nominally with increase in binder content but in the presence of lime, the compressibility reduced significantly. Binder used in this study has been found to be effective and economic to stabilise expansive soils with lesser amount of chemical additives such as lime.     

Physical and Compaction Behaviour of Clay Soil–Fly Ash Mixtures

At present, nearly 100 million tonnes of fly ash is being generated annually in India posing serious health and environmental problems. To control these problems, the most commonly used method is addition of fly ash as a stabilizing agent usually used in combination with soils. In the present study, high-calcium (ASTM Class C—Neyveli fly) and low-calcium (ASTM Class F—Badarpur fly ash) fly ashes in different proportions by weight (10, 20, 40, 60 and 80 %) were added to a highly expansive soil [known as black cotton (BC) soil] from India. Laboratory tests involved determination of physical properties, compaction characteristics and swell potential. The test results show that the consistency limits, compaction characteristics and swelling potential of expansive soil–fly ash mixtures are significantly modified and improved. It is seen that 40 % fly ash content is the optimum quantity to improve the plasticity characteristics of BC soil. The fly ashes exhibit low dry unit weight compared to BC soil. With the addition of fly ash to BC soil the maximum dry unit weight (γ_dmax) of the soil–fly ash mixtures decreases with increase in optimum moisture content (OMC), which can be mainly attributed to the improvement in gradation of the fly ash. It is also observed that 10 % of Neyveli fly ash is the optimum amount required to minimize the swell potential compared to 40 % of Badarpur fly ash. Therefore, the main objective of the study was to study the effect of fly ashes on the physical, compaction, and swelling potential of BC soils, and bulk utilization of industrial waste by-product without adversely affecting the environment.     

Stabilization of a Clayey Soil with Fly Ash and Lime: A Micro Level Investigation

Pavement structures on poor soil sub grades show early distresses causing the premature failure of the pavement. Clayey soils usually have the potential to demonstrate undesirable engineering behavior, such as low bearing capacity, high shrinkage and swell characteristics and high moisture susceptibility. Stabilization of these soils is a usual practice for improving the strength. This study reports the improvement in the strength of a locally available cohesive soil by addition of both fly ash and lime. Analysis using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, zeta potential and pH value test was carried out in order to elucidate the stabilization mechanism. The micro level analysis confirmed the breaking of montmorrillonite structure present in the untreated clay after stabilization. In the analysis, it was also confirmed that in the stabilization process, pozzolanic reaction dominated over the cation exchange capacity.
