Compressive And Tensile Properties Of Three Fiber-Lime-Soils Under Freeze-Thaw Cycle, Li Wei, Shou-Xi Chai, Lin Zhang, Yao Li

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Generally, synthetic fiber, mineral fiber and plant fiber are added into soil to enhance the strength and deformation resistance of soil. The unconfined compressive test and splitting tensile test of three fiber-lime-soils under freeze-thaw cycle were carried out to study the variation of compressive and tensile properties of soil with freeze-thaw times. The test results showed that the optimum fiber rates of polypropylene fiber-lime-soil, basalt fiber-lime-soil and palm fiber-lime-soil were 0.2%, 0.2%, and 0.4% respectively, whether under freeze-thaw cycle or not. With the increase of freeze-thaw times, the compressive strength and tensile strength of the three fiber-lime-soils demonstrated phased downward …


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 …

Prediction Model For Compressive Strength Of Rock-Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete Composite Layer, Meng Chen, Xiu-Wen Cui, Xin Yan, Hao Wang, Er-Lei Wang

Rock and Soil Mechanics

To study the uniaxial compressive strength calculation method of rock-steel fiber reinforced concrete (R-SFRC) composite layer, uniaxial compression test was carried out on rock, steel fiber reinforced concrete and R-SFRC composite layer specimens. The influence of concrete strength grades (C30, C40 and C50) and fiber contents (0, 40, 60 and 80 kg/m3) on the uniaxial compressive strength of steel fiber reinforced concrete and composite layers was analyzed. RFPA2D was utilized to simulate the damage process and stress-strain curve of the composite layer under uniaxial compression. The compressive strength prediction model of R-SFRC composite layer was established based on Mohr-Coulomb yield …
