Permanent Deformation Prediction Model Of Subgrade Soil Under Freeze-Thaw Cycles Based On Lstm And Transformer, Zhang Anshun
Journal of China & Foreign Highway
To accurately predict the permanent deformation of subgrade soil under the coupling effect of freeze-thaw cycles and traffic loads,a hybrid neural network model based on long short-term memory (LSTM ) and Transformer was proposed,building upon the results of dynamic triaxial tests.This model effectively captured the temporal dependencies and complex interactive effects among input variables,thereby significantly enhancing the accuracy and generalization ability of permanent deformation prediction of subgrade soil.The results indicate that higher confining pressure improves the resistance of subgrade soil to deformation,but its permanent deformation behavior is still significantly influenced by the magnitude of cyclic loading and the number of …

Continuous girder bridges can improve the structural stress,increase the structural bearing capacity,and promote ride comfort.However,some continuous girder bridges suffer from issues such as bearing dislocation,upper torsion,and damage to seismic arrestors.To identify deficiencies in current design and construction control,an in-depth analysis of these issues was conducted.The findings reveal the main reason is that the bidirectional sliding bearings (nearly half of the total ) fail to provide horizontal force,and the main sliding direction of the unidirectional sliding bearings is inconsistent with the deformation of the bridge superstructure.In this paper,factors including temperature-induced deformation,material shrinkage,elastic compression,creep,and construction process control of the bridge superstructure were …

Limestone calcined clay (LC2) technique is a new approach that could address the environmental problem corelated with the construction industry due to its vital reliance on the ordinary Portland cement in its various applications. LC2 technique involves partial replacement of the OPC in concrete by limestone and calcined kaolinite clay with a ratio of 1:2 respectively. The main advantage of this technique is its high applicability due to its direct application on site. This study investigated the applicability of incorporating the LC2 technique in the construction industry. Three replacement percentages of OPC by LC2 in concrete were explored, which are …

Computer simulation is increasingly being used by emergency planners as a tool to improve disaster response given that it can model real-world scenarios, such as earthquakes. Although there has been an increase in simulation research focused on disaster response, much of this literature is from disparate fields and across disaster scenarios. To bridge this gap, this paper surveys simulation-based models for post-earthquake response from the year 2000 onward. Advantages of simulation over closed-form statistical models are discussed. Three main subproblems in post-earthquake response models are explored: (1) service distribution (e.g., food, water), (2) infrastructure restoration (at the building and transportation …

Interest in the use of graphene to enhance the properties of cementitious materials is growing, but major impediments in implementation are the cost of graphene and changes in binder rheology attributable to these nanomaterials. This study explores the influence of novel, cost-effective, environment-friendly, and mass-producible graphene on the rheology and early-age structure development of cementitious binders. Two novel graphene types—fractal graphene (FG) and reactive graphene (RG)—are used in plain cement mixtures as well as those containing 30 % (by mass) of fly ash and/or limestone powder, at low dosages of ≤0.02 % by mass of binder. The early- and later-age …

3D-printing could offer substantial benefits to the construction industry including the fabrication of customized/bespoke components, eliminating formwork, and reducing material waste. Despite these advantages, control of the pumpability, extrudability, and buildability of 3D-printed concrete (3DPC) remains challenging. This study demonstrates how the use of fly ash (FA) enables enhanced thermal stiffening, and rapid alkali-activation in the presence of portlandite (Ca(OH)2, CH). In general, blends of CH and FA exhibit less structural build-up at low temperatures, but upon reaching a trigger temperature of 75 °C, these blends achieve rapid stiffening, at rates of ∼800 Pa/s. The rapid stiffening arises from the …

Belite calcium sulfoaluminate cement (CSAB), an alternative to Portland cement, exhibits excellent strength at both early and later ages. However, due to its high belite content, the carbon reduction from this type of cement is not sufficient when compared to other alternative cements. To further enhance CSAB's sustainability, this study investigates the performance of CSAB when partially replaced by low-carbon mineral additives (i.e., limestone and gypsum). The primary objective is to identify the optimal mixture design by incorporating gypsum and limestone to formulate a sustainable binder that maintains high compressive strength. The CSAB is replaced (with both additives) by up …

Off-spec supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) remain underutilized due to variability in reactivity and non-conformance with existing standards. This study evaluates the hydration behavior and fresh-state and mechanical performance of these materials in Portland limestone cement (PLC) systems. One Class F fly ash (FA), one bottom ash (BA), and two calcined clays (HACC and LACC) were evaluated as 20 % replacements to PLC. Hydration behavior was characterized using isothermal calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), while fresh-state and mechanical performance were assessed through flow table, Vicat setting time, load–crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) flexural testing, and compressive strength testing. HACC increased compressive …
