Primary yielding locus of cement-stabilized marine clay and its applications

ABSTRACT

Strength and stiffness properties of materials are widely studied and used in civil engineering practice. However, most studies are based on unconfined conditions, which are different from real status of soil. This study investigated the primary yielding and yield locus for cement-stabilized marine clay. In this study, two types of cement-stabilized soils were studied through isotropic compression, triaxial drained shearing, unconfined compression, and bender element testing. Specimens with 20–50% of cement content and 7–90 days of curing period were used for the tests. Stress–strain behavior and primary yielding were evaluated, followed by construction of the primary yield locus. The characteristics of the primary yield locus and its development with curing time then were studied. The results showed that the properties of the primary yield locus were dependent on the type of stabilized soil, but were independent of the cement content and curing period. Thus, the approach provides a way to estimate the primary yield stress and drained stress path before primary yielding for cement-stabilized soil under confined condition. An empirical function was used to fit the primary yield locus. The primary isotropic yield stress was correlated to unconfined compressive strength or maximum shear modulus. Three indirect methods were proposed to predict the primary yield stress for cement-stabilized marine clay. The results showed that the primary yield stress can be estimated with reasonable accuracy.

Evaluating the stiffness of chemically stabilized marine clay

Cement-stabilized clay is widely used in soft clay improvement for deep excavation, underground construction, and land reclamation. This paper presents a study on the evaluation of elastic modulus for cement-stabilized marine clay. First, two types of cement-stabilized soils were studied through isotropic compression tests and cylinder split tensile tests. Specimens with different mix ratios and curing periods were used. Stress–strain behavior under isotropic compression was discussed, followed by an introduction and estimation of the stress-free bulk modulus. Empirical correlations between elastic moduli and functions for estimating elastic moduli were then proposed. Further estimation of elastic modulus was conducted with another data set. The results showed that the proposed function for estimating elastic modulus is effective for cement-improved marine clay. Finally, the proposed method and empirical functions were validated with other types of cement-stabilized clay.

Stabilization of desert sands using municipal solid waste incinerator ash

This paper presents experimental results on the use of incinerator ash in stabilizing desert sands for possible use in geotechnical engineering applications. The incinerator ash was added in percentages of 2, 4, 8, 10 and 12%, by dry weight of sand. Laboratory tests such as compaction, unconfined compression, shear box and hydraulic conductivity were performed to measure the engineering characteristics of the stabilized material. The results showed substantial improvements in unconfined compressive strength and shear strength parameters (c and φ). Thus, incinerator ash can be used to improve the shear strength characteristics of desert sands. The permeability of the sand–incinerator ash mixture was relatively low.     

pH effect on stabilization/solidification of industrial heavy metal sludge

The leaching character and toxicity of the stabilization/solidification （S/S） products of industrial heavy metal sludge were experimentally researched at different pH （1-13）. The results showed that the leaching solutions of cement S/S and lime S/S products were all alkaline; the S/S treatments could fix Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn and Ni in solid; the Cr concentration was obviously high in the leaching solution of S/S products and exceeded the regulation value of ＂Landfill Control Standard for Hazardous Wastes＂ （GB 1858 01）.

Smoothing GPS carrier phase double differences using inertial measurements for high performance applications

This paper will describe an enhancement to the GPS double difference carrier phase measurements on a single airborne platform by smoothing them with inertial measurements while preserving the dynamic bandwidth. This enhancement will reduce the impact of carrier phase multipath and carrier phase noise on baseline determination between multiple antennas on an aircraft when in flight. This type of measurement system has numerous applications where platform pointing and relative body motion must be determined at the mm-level for applications such as sensor stabilization, Synthetic Aperture Radar, long range RADAR (i.e. angle-of-arrival measurements). Lower noise levels (mm-level and below) enable more performance to the stabilized system such as increased aperture for longer range, operation at higher frequencies, and more image resolution. The focus of this paper will be on a technique to provide this enhanced performance for these various applications using the available navigation systems. Additionally, this type of smoothing can effectively remove the additional noise induced by carrier phase measurement differencing. The noise level of a double or triple difference can be reduced below that of the raw measurement. A complimentary synthesized double difference quantity with ultra-low-noise characteristics will be used to smooth the GPS carrier phase double difference measurements without losing dynamic bandwidth since it follows the airborne dynamics. Flight test data will be presented to demonstrate the performance improvement in the midst of aircraft dynamics. Results will show that the noise reduction follows the theoretical prediction.
