Soil-Water Characteristic Of Biochar-Clay Mixture In The Full Suction Range, Ming-Yu Li, Wen-Jing Sun, Qiang Huang, De-An Sun Nov 2022

Soil-Water Characteristic Of Biochar-Clay Mixture In The Full Suction Range, Ming-Yu Li, Wen-Jing Sun, Qiang Huang, De-An Sun

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) plays an important role in defining the hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils. Biochar has the properties of porous structure, high specific surface area and high adsorption. The hydraulic characteristics of biochar-amended soil may change due to the influence of natural environmental factors when applied as the cover layer of landfills. In order to study the effect of biochar content on the water retention behavior of biochar-clay mixture in full suction range, the suction of samples was controlled by vapor equilibrium technique (suction range 3–368 MPa), filter paper method (suction range 0–40 MPa) and pressure plate method …


Mechanical Properties Of Slag-Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Stabilized Sandy Soil, Jin-Jin Zhang, Bo Li, Chuang Yu, Mao-Yu Zhang Oct 2022

Mechanical Properties Of Slag-Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Stabilized Sandy Soil, Jin-Jin Zhang, Bo Li, Chuang Yu, Mao-Yu Zhang

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Silicate cement as a conventional soil curing agent has problems of high energy consumption and high emissions, and researchers have been seeking a more economical and environmentally friendly alternative to cement. In this study, geopolymers based on ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash (FA) were used to reinforce sandy soils, and the effects of different factors on the mechanical properties of geopolymer stabilized sandy soils were investigated by adjusting the type and ratio of exciter, slag-fly ash ratio, water-cement ratio, and curing conditions. The specimens were studied in depth by unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, electron computed tomography …


The Effect Of Sample Placement In The Furnace During The Heat Treatment Process Of 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy On Microstructure, Hardness, And Electrical Conductivity, Donanta Dhaneswara, Hardi Rindharto, Muhammad Syauqi Aqilafif Aug 2022

The Effect Of Sample Placement In The Furnace During The Heat Treatment Process Of 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy On Microstructure, Hardness, And Electrical Conductivity, Donanta Dhaneswara, Hardi Rindharto, Muhammad Syauqi Aqilafif

Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings (JMEF)

This paper reports the effects of sample placement during the heat treatment on the microstructural morphology and mechanical properties of 7075 Al alloy such as hardness value and electrical conductivity. The material was in the formed of Al alloy sheets where samples were machined into a square with dimensions of 1.5 x 1.5 inch. The 7075-T0 Al alloy as samples were given heat treatment by precipitation hardening (aging) at temperature 120°C for 24 hours, so it becomes 7075-T6 Al alloy. Samples were subjected to some mechanical tests and the morphology of the resulting microstructures were characterized by optical microscopy. The …

Microstructure Of Electrodeposited Copper Foil: Discussion On The Mechanism Model Of Three-Dimensional Electrocrystallization, Ren-Zhi Liu, Ping-Ling Xie, Chong Wang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The manufacturing of electrolytic copper foil has attracted more and more attention with the extensive applications of printed circuit board and lithium battery. The industrial scale is still extending. Compared with the developments of electroplating equipment and electroplating process, there is limited research on the mechanism of electrodeposition. This paper summarizes the manufacturing process of electrodeposited copper foil and analyzes the differences of various electroplating parameters in different electrodeposited copper technologies, and points out the important role of electrodeposition current density in the formation of copper foil. By showing and comparing the microstructures of different electrodeposited copper foils, the influences …

Mechanical Properties Of Saline Soil Solidified With Lime, Fly Ash And Modified Polyvinyl Alcohol Under Freeze-Thaw Cycles, Min Li, He-Miao Yu, Hong-Pu Du, Bao-Yu Cao, Shou-Xi Chai Apr 2022

Mechanical Properties Of Saline Soil Solidified With Lime, Fly Ash And Modified Polyvinyl Alcohol Under Freeze-Thaw Cycles, Min Li, He-Miao Yu, Hong-Pu Du, Bao-Yu Cao, Shou-Xi Chai

Rock and Soil Mechanics

The repeated freeze-thaw cycles with seasonal alternations have an obvious effect on soil structure. To reduce the temperature sensitivity of saline soil and then use it in engineering, a combined treatment method is proposed, where lime, fly ash and modified polyvinyl alcohol (MPA) are used as solidified materials. Unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests and microstructure characterization are firstly used to evaluate the solidified effect and obtain the parameters range of solidified materials. Then, the shear strength tests for determining cohesion and internal friction angle are conducted. Experiments are conducted by considering separate and combined treatments of materials mentioned above. The …
