Tire chips have special features as geomaterials, as they are lighter than soil particles, highly compressible, and softer than sand. In this study, the effect of tire chips used as a compressible inclusion in backfill on the load reduction against retaining walls is numerically investigated. It is known that a reduction in earth pressure in backfill is realized by achieving a quasi-active or intermediate active state; and thus, a field test of this behavior is herein numerically simulated. The influence of the Poisson’s ratio and elastic modulus of tire chips on the reduction in earth pressure against retaining walls is examined by assuming that tire chips can be modeled as an elastic body. The numerical simulation reveals that the attainment of the active state in sandy backfill is primarily due to the light-weight nature of tire chips, along with their low Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio. Furthermore, the influence of friction at the bottom of the backfill mass is also considered, and the earth pressure reduction mechanism incorporating this factor is also numerically investigated. 相似文献

Deep mixing methods are widely used for stabilizing soft clayey soils and improving their bearing capacity. However, spatial variability in the shear strength of the cement-treated ground introduces uncertainties in estimating the bearing capacity for design. This paper evaluates the reliability of, block-type, cement-treated foundation under inclined load conditions using random field numerical limit analyses. The undrained shear strength is modelled as a random field which is characterized by a log-normal distribution and a spatial correlation length. Monte Carlo simulations are then used to interpret the stochastic bearing capacity factor and failure mechanisms for inclined concentric loading conditions at selected ratios of the shear strength ratio of cement-treated ground to original clay, the coefficient of variation in undrained shear strength and correlation length of the cement-treated zone. Variability of the undrained shear strength can reduce the expected bearing capacity of the cement-treated ground by 50–70% compared to homogeneously mixed clay. 相似文献

为了提高废弃轮胎路基使用性能和效果,研究了废弃轮胎环箍下的散体材料压实度和承载力。由于轮胎的侧限作用,轮胎内粉质黏土的最佳含水量比标准实验测定的最优含水量大,细砂的小于最优含水量。轮胎内散体材料的压实度一定范围内随着压实功的增加而增加,级配均匀的砂土在相同压实功的条件下干密度最高,取得最优的压实效果。轮胎的半径越大承载力越低;粗骨料填充的轮胎比细骨料填充的轮胎承载力高,但变形大。轮胎新旧对其内填散体材料的压实度和承载能力没有影响。由于散体材料的横向变形受到轮胎的约束,处于三向受压状态,因此提高了竖向载荷能力。 相似文献

A technique called the cement-mixing and mechanical dehydration method (CMD) as one of recycling techniques for soft clay slurry is developed. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the CMD for increasing the strength of soft clay, a series of unconfined compression tests and several durability tests were performed together with the literature review of unconfined compressive strength in cement-treated soils. Moreover, a series of constant strain rate consolidation tests were also performed to evaluate the effects of cement content and dehydration speed on the permeability of cement-treated clay. The following conclusions are obtained: 1) Literature review and theoretical considerations on the shear strength of cement-treated soils show that an additional treatment for the purpose of increasing the density of cement-treated specimen is effective for increasing the shear strength of cement-treated soil. 2) The mechanical dehydration of soft clay with high pressure is accelerated by cement mixing, where the coefficient of consolidation of cement-treated clay increases as the cement content increases. 3) The high-strength specimen having the unconfined compressive strength of more than 20 MPa can be created from soft clay treated by the CMD with the cement content of over 20% and the dehydration pressure of 20 MPa. 相似文献

The behaviour in wet conditions of materials (aggregates, soils, rocks...) containing clay particles depends on both the latter content and its mineralogical nature. According to the technique involved (cement-treated soils, bituminous mixes, concrete...), only external surface area or both external and internal surface areas of the clays are dominantly relevant. In this paper, we describe two simple ways of using the Methylen Blue test which allow the swelling nature of the clays, through the ratio of the external to the internal surface areas as well as their amount to assessed for The operating procedures are given; potential applications are also discussed. 相似文献

Interaction between soils and geosynthetics is of utmost importance in applications of these materials as reinforcement in geotechnical engineering. That is also the case for some applications of geosynthetics in environmental protection works. The mechanisms of soil–geosynthetic interaction can be very complex, depending on the type and properties of the geosynthetic and the soil. This paper presents and discusses some experimental, theoretical and numerical methods for the study and evaluation of interaction between soils and geosynthetics, with particular reference to the applications of these materials in soil reinforcement. The main advantages and limitations of some traditional experimental and theoretical methods for the study of soil–geosynthetics interaction are presented and new applications of these methods are addressed. The need for improvements in experimental and theoretical techniques for a better understanding of soil–geosynthetic interaction is highlighted. 相似文献

Electrokinetic geosynthetics in hydraulic applications 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
In use most geosynthetics play a passive role. New applications for geosynthetics have been identified if they can provide an active role, initiating biological, chemical or physical change to the matrix in which it is installed as well as providing the established functions. This can be achieved by combining the electrokinetic phenomena of electro-osmosis, electrophoresis and associated electrokinetic functions such as electrolysis with the traditional functions of geosynthetics of drainage, filtration, containment and reinforcement to form electokinetic geosynthetics (EKG). Electrokinetic geosynthetics can be made singly or from combinations of woven, non-woven, needle punched knitted, extruded or laminated materials and can be formed in any 2D or 3D shape.The majority of the uses of EKG are in hydraulic applications or applications with a significant hydraulic component. These can be grouped in separate engineering categories such as civil, mining, and water engineering. The concept of electrokinetic geosynthetics is described and details of applications and case studies are provided in the paper. 相似文献

The improvement of sand and clay using lime or cement to control solidification is common practice. Among the many constitutive models for solidification proposed for clay and sand, few can reproduce the combined behavior of cement-treated clay and cement-treated sand. Here, four typical experimental results for cement-treated soil have been chosen from the literature to consider the shear and consolidation behavior for clay and sand, especially for a low cement mixing ratio. The elasto-plastic constitutive model was used to simulate this behavior considering the soil skeleton structure.The simulation results obtained using the model agreed with the experimental test results both for the cement-treated clay and the cement-treated sand. In the case of the clays, the experimental results were reproduceable using material constants for elasto-plastic and evolution parameters and only required changes in the initial state values, regardless of whether the soil was treated or untreated. In the case of the sands, the structure decay index of the treated sand became smaller than that of the untreated sand. Moreover, the cement-treated loose sand did not exhibit softening behavior. This was attributed to the slow rate of decay of the highly structured cement-treated loose sand due to the solidification of the cement. The degree of structure and the overconsolidation ratio both increased with higher amounts of admixed cement. The model developed in this study was capable of describing the mechanical behavior of both cement-treated clay and cement-treated sand. 相似文献

The backfill areas of concrete culverts constructed in roads have been subjected to differential settlement due to poorly compacted soils. Dynamic compaction rollers cannot be fully utilized to compact the backfill soils near the culverts because the high earth pressure induced by dynamic loading frequently results in cracks in the culvert walls. In this study, two cushion materials, recycled tire chips and expanded polystyrene (EPS) boards are applied on the culvert walls in backfill areas to reduce the dynamic earth pressure induced by the compaction loading as well as to improve the characteristics of compacted soils. A numerical analysis is carried out to study the effects of the cushion materials on the stress variation with soil depth in the backfill areas. The numerical analysis shows that a cushion material with low elastic modulus and high damping ratio can effectively reduce the dynamic earth pressure. Field tests are also performed to study the performance of the two cushion materials. It is found from the field tests that the both cushion materials reduce the dynamic earth pressure acting on the culvert wall. However, the recycled tire chips are more efficient in reducing the dynamic earth pressure because of its relatively high damping ratio and low stiffness values compared to the EPS. 相似文献

One of the commonly used stabilization systems for rock tunnels is shotcrete. This fine aggregate mortar is usually reinforced for improving its tensile and shear strength. In deep tunnels, its capacity to absorb energy has been recently considered for design purposes, as large displacements of the wall are expected. Two of the most used materials of reinforcement are steel welded-wire mesh and fibers (steel or polypropylene) in the shotcrete mix. This study presents the results and discussion of an experimental test program conducted to obtain the load-deformation curves of reinforced shotcrete, according to ASTM C 1550, using geosynthetics grids and geotextiles as alternative reinforcement materials. In addition, plain shotcrete and steel welded-wire mesh reinforced shotcrete specimens are also considered in the experimental program as benchmark cases. The experimental results are analyzed in terms of maximum strength and toughness. Results show that the use of geosynthetics as a reinforcement material is a promising alternative to obtain shotcrete with energy absorption capacity comparable with the most common reinforcement materials used. 相似文献

A series of laboratory model tests has been carried out to investigate the using of shredded waste tires as reinforcement to increase the bearing capacity of soil. Shred content and shreds aspect ratio are the main parameters that affect the bearing capacity. Tire shreds with rectangular shape and widths of 2 and 3 cm with aspect ratios 2, 3, 4 and 5 are mixed with sand. Five shred contents of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by volume were selected. Addition of tire shreds to sand increases BCR (bearing capacity ratio) from 1.17 to 3.9 with respect to shred content and shreds aspect ratio. The maximum BCR is attained at shred content of 40% and dimensions of 3 × 12 cm. It is shown that increasing of shred content increases the BCR. However, an optimum value for shred content is observed after that increasing shreds led to decrease in BCR. For a given shred width, shred content and soil density it seems that aspect ratio of 4 gives maximum BCR. 相似文献

This paper examines the relationship between the microstructure and chemical properties of soft Bangladesh clays due to cementation. The microstructure was investigated using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, pH measurement, specific surface area and soil chemical tests. The results indicate that a multitude of changes occurred in the properties and behavior of cement-treated clays that can be explained by the interaction between four underlying microstructural mechanisms. That is, it is suggested that the hydrated lime is formed by hydration, which causes the flocculation of the little clay particles, by the preferential attack of the calcium ions on kaolinite rather than on illite and monmorillinite in the pozzolanic reaction, by surface deposition and shallow infilling by cementitious products such as calcium silicate hydrate and calcium alumino silicate hydrate (CSH and CASH) on clay clusters, and finally, by the presence of water trapped within the clay clusters. The chemical properties of the cement-treated clays were found to depend on the plasticity of soil. 相似文献
