Compacted soils are widely used as the subgrade layer for pavements. Knowledge of the mechanical properties of subgrade soils under cyclic and static loading conditions and their variation under the influence of environmental factors is required for the rational design of pavements based on mechanistic methods. This paper presents an experimental investigation of the cyclic and static moduli and the strength properties of seven different compacted Canadian subgrade soils considering the variation in the post-compaction moisture content. Cyclic triaxial tests were performed to reliably determine the resilient modulus (MR). Unconfined compression tests, which allow an unloading-reloading loop at 1% strain, were performed to determine the deviator stress (Su1%) at 1% strain, the reloading elastic modulus (E1%) at 1% strain and the unconfined compressive strength (qu) at failure. The physical properties, the chemical and mineralogical compositions, and the soil-water characteristics of these soils were also determined. Relationships were developed to predict the MR from the Su1%, E1%, qu and soil physical properties for the investigated subgrade soils because the experimental determination of MR is both expensive and time-consuming. The studies presented in this paper provide useful information and approaches that can be used to promote the implementation of mechanistic pavement design methods using simple techniques. 相似文献

A new type of woven geotextile, referred to as wicking geotextile, was developed and introduced to the market. Since this wicking geotextile consists of wicking fibers, they can wick water out from unsaturated soils in a pavement structure thus resulting in an increase of soil resilient modulus and enhance performance of roadways. In this study, a physical model test was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the wicking geotextile in soil moisture reduction for roadway applications. A test box with a dimension of 1041 mm in length, 686 mm in width, and 584 mm in height was used in this study. Two HDPE plastic panels were used to separate the box into two sections, one containing a dehumidifier and the other backfilled with soil. The dehumidifier was adopted to collect the water, which was wicked out from the soil by the wicking geotextile and evaporated into air. Test results show that (1) the wicking geotextile wicked water out from the soil even at the moisture content close to the optimum moisture content and (2) the comparison of soil moisture contents before and after rainfall demonstrated that the wicking geotextile maintained the soil moisture contents after rainfall close to those before rainfall and had an effective distance for the soil moisture reduction. 相似文献

Coupled simulation of heat and moisture transport in air and porous materials for the assessment of moisture related damage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper describes the coupling of a model for heat and moisture transport in porous materials to a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) package. The combination of CFD and the material model makes it possible to assess the risk of moisture related damage in valuable objects for cases with large temperature or humidity gradients in the air. To couple both models the choice was made to integrate the porous material model into the CFD package. This requires the heat and moisture transport equations in the air and the porous material to be written down in function of the same transported variables. Validation with benchmark experiments proved the good functionality of the coupled model. A simulation study of a microclimate vitrine for paintings shows that phenomena observed in these vitrines are well predicted by the model and that data generated by the model provides additional insights in the physical mechanisms behind these phenomena. 相似文献

A thermo-mechanical model is adopted in order to investigate the fire behaviour of clay masonry walls. In this analysis, conductive, convective and radiative thermal transfers are considered together with local energy consumption due to phase changes. These latter are essentially initiated by both the vaporisation of adsorbed water and the chemical transformation of clay under rising temperatures. Therefore, experimental tests at both the material scale and the brick scale are performed in order to identify the parameters that characterise the thermo-hygral behaviour of clay. For this purpose, numerical simulations are carried out on the experimentally tested hollow bricks in order to determine by back analysis these material parameters. The thermal model being validated, the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a masonry wall subjected to fire, is thereafter investigated by adopting a full three-dimensional finite-element analysis. Numerical simulations results are compared to the experimentally measured ones in terms of both temperature and out-of plane displacement fields. In this analysis, it is shown that a non-linear elastic behaviour for bricks and mortar with temperature-dependent mechanical parameters is sufficient to retrieve the overall behaviour of thin masonry walls. Finally, a parametric study provides the influence of each material parameter on the fire behaviour of the partition walls. 相似文献

Peatlands are large repositories of atmospheric carbon and concern has been raised over the stability of this carbon store because increasing dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations have been observed in peatland drainage waters. A number of potential causes have been proposed in the literature, and conflicting results among studies conducted at different spatial and temporal scales suggest that the methodological approach may be an important confounding factor. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of moisture and temperature on DOC release from a south-central Ontario peatland during the fall (a major export period) following three commonly used approaches: laboratory microcosms, an intensive field study and analysis of long-term data (1980-2008). The effect of variations in temperature and moisture differed among microcosm, field study and analysis of the long-term record. Water content was important at the microcosm scale as DOC concentration and aromaticity increased with peat water-saturation. Drought caused a decrease in DOC concentration and pH, and an increase in sulphate and base cation concentrations. In contrast, the field study indicated that DOC concentration was strongly associated with temperature, and weakly correlated (negatively) with stream discharge. Average fall DOC concentration (but not export) increased over the 29 year record, and was correlated with fall discharge and precipitation (negative) and summer precipitation and fall stream pH (positive). As no common strong predictor of fall DOC was found at three scales of investigation at a single, well-studied site, it may be unreasonable to expect to identify a universal driver behind the widespread increase in DOC concentration. 相似文献

在季节冻土区,反复冻融作用导致土体孔隙水压力发生变化,进而导致土体中水分的迁移;对土体施加静荷载,土体内部应力场发生变化,土体内的水分和孔隙水压力亦发生变化。通过模型试验,研究无荷载和荷载两种条件下土体内部孔隙水压力和水分场随冻融循环作用的变化规律,试验结果表明:在荷载和无荷载两种条件下,孔隙水压力在初期呈负值稳定变化,然后快速增大,最后呈周期性变化。在无荷载条件下,随着土体深度的增加,孔隙水压力增大,水分含量减小;在荷载条件下,土体上部和中部位置处的孔隙水压力和水分含量都大于荷载两侧。在一个冻融周期内,土体内部孔隙水压力和水分含量都随温度的升高而增大,随温度的降低而减小,而且孔隙水压力和水分含量随温度的变化都具有滞后性。 相似文献

We investigated the effect of weekends and school holidays on the daily frequency and severity of respiratory and other symptoms among children attending schools with (index) or without (reference) moisture damage in Spain, the Netherlands, and Finland. Throughout 1 year, parents of 419 children with a respiratory condition attending index (n=15) or reference (n=10) primary schools completed three symptom diaries. We assessed associations between lower respiratory tract, upper respiratory tract or allergy, and other symptom scores and school day, weekend, or summer holiday using mixed regression models stratified by country and moisture damage. We evaluated interactions between moisture damage and type of day. We combined country‐specific estimates (incidence rate ratios [IRRs] and 95% confidence interval [CI]) in meta‐analyses. Symptom scores were lower during weekends and holiday. Lower respiratory tract symptoms were statistically significantly less common during holiday with strongest effect in index schools (IRR=0.7; CI=0.6–0.8). Reporting of other symptoms was more reduced during holiday in index (IRR=0.6; CI=0.4–0.9) than in reference (IRR=0.95; CI=0.8–1.2) schools (interaction P<.01). In conclusion, symptoms were less frequent and/or severe during summer holiday and weekends. This pattern was stronger among children attending moisture‐damaged schools, suggesting potential improvement in moisture damage‐related symptoms during school breaks. 相似文献

A comparative case study in Naganobori Japan and Falun Sweden of runoff water from copper mines shows that the water and its particulates, filtered with a cutoff of 0.45 μm, have different lead isotope ratios pointing to different origins for the lead. While the larger particles have a lead ratio indicative of the atmospheric anthropogenic pollution the soluble lead has that of the copper ores. The domestic atmospheric lead ratio in Japan is homogeneous and characteristic of emissions from the incineration of waste. Lead pollution transported from the Asian continent by westerly winds can be distinguished from the Japanese pollution by its more thorogenic lead ratios, in for example analyses of copper moss from Naganobori. 相似文献

The 239+240Pu concentrations and 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios were determined by alpha spectrometry and double-focusing SF-ICP-MS for seawater samples obtained in 1984 and 1993 from the Yamato and Tsushima Basins of the Japan Sea in the western North Pacific margin. The total 239+240Pu inventories in the whole water columns were approximately doubled during the period from 1984 to 1993 in the two basins. The increasing rates were estimated to be 5.1 Bq m−2 yr−1 in the Yamato Basin and 4.2 Bq m−2 yr−1 in the Tsushima Basin and they corresponded to ~ 0.02% of the annual 239+240Pu inflow rate into the Japan Sea through the Tsushima Strait. The mean 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios were ~ 0.240 and significantly higher than the mean global fallout ratio of 0.18. Furthermore, there were no temporal or spatial variations of 240Pu/239Pu atom ratios during this period in the Japan Sea. The total 239+240Pu inventories originating from the close-in fallout increased from 17.6 Bq m−2 to 34.6 Bq m−2 in the Yamato Basin and from 20.1 Bq m−2 to 34.6 Bq m−2 in the Tsushima Basin; however, the relative percentage of ~ 40% from the close-in fallout was unchanged during this period. A likely mechanism for the increasing Pu inventory would be the continuous inflow of the Tsushima Current from the western North Pacific, and the removal of Pu from surface waters by scavenging onto the settling particles, followed by regeneration of Pu from the settling particles during the downward transport. 相似文献

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been successfully used to detect a lava tube in a basaltic lava flow from the Fuji volcano, Japan. The target lava tube, Komoriana cave, is in the northern part of the Aokigahara lava flow which was emplaced over 1,000 years ago. The lava tube was detected by simply dragging the GPR antenna along a prefecture road, demonstrating the advantages of this method compared with detailed mapping and geological investigations. As a massive basaltic lava flow allows deep penetration of the radar pulse, the reflection radar profile obtained showed two very clear structures which were interpreted from the waveforms to be the roof and the bottom of the lava tube from the waveforms alone. This was subsequently confirmed by careful survey measurements of the Komoriana cave lava tube. The feasibility study clearly demonstrated that GPR is a very effective and convenient tool for discovering unknown lava tubes hidden deeply inside lava flows. 相似文献

Aiming to identify factors causing the adverse health effects associated with moisture‐damaged indoor environments, we analyzed immunotoxicological potential of settled dust from moisture‐damaged and reference schools in relation to their microbiological composition. Mouse RAW264.7 macrophages were exposed to settled dust samples (n = 25) collected from moisture‐damaged and reference schools in Spain, the Netherlands, and Finland. After exposure, we analyzed production of inflammatory markers [nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor‐α (TNF‐)α, interleukin (IL)‐6, and macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)2] as well as mitochondrial activity, viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, particle counts, concentration of selected microbial groups as well as chemical markers such as ergosterol, 3‐hydroxy fatty acids, muramic acid, endotoxins, and glucans were measured as markers of exposure. Dust from moisture‐damaged schools in Spain and the Netherlands induced stronger immunotoxicological responses compared to samples from reference schools; the responses to Finnish samples were generally lower with no difference between the schools. In multivariate analysis, IL‐6 and apoptosis responses were most strongly associated with moisture status of the school. The measured responses correlated with several microbial markers and numbers of particles, but the most important predictor of the immunotoxicological potential of settled dust was muramic acid concentration, a marker of Gram‐positive bacteria. 相似文献

Determining that the centralized political system is the cause of its persistent economic problems, Japan’s political leaders have been promoting neoliberalism-oriented state decentralization since the early 2000s. Stimulated by this policy, the prefecture of Osaka - the center of Japan’s second economic region - and its neighbors established a federation-type regional government in December 2010. However, some members left this regionalist coalition before its launch, which demonstrates the existance of internal tensions. In this study, the frameworks of Institutional Collective Action and politics of scale are applied to examine the regionalism decision-making process. Our findings suggest: (1) systemic political and economic biases run within the regionalism and (2) the likely urban economic and governance conditions after the devolution would be much more uncertain and messier than the reform advocates suggest they would be. 相似文献

This paper gives an onset to whole building hygrothermal modelling in which the interaction between interior and exterior climates via building enclosures is simulated under a moderately cold and humid climate. The focus is particularly on the impact of wind-driven rain (WDR) on the hygrothermal response, mould growth at interior wall surfaces, indoor climate and energy consumption. First the WDR load on the facades of a 4 m × 4 m × 10 m tower is determined. Then the hygrothermal behaviour of the brick walls is analysed on a horizontal slice through the tower. The simulations demonstrate that the impact of WDR loads on the moisture contents in the walls is much larger near the edges of the walls than at the centre. The obtained relative humidity and temperature at the interior wall surfaces are combined with isopleths of generalised spore germination time of fungus mould. The results show that WDR loads can have a significant impact on mould growth especially at the edges of the walls. Finally, for the case analysed, the WDR load causes a significant increase of indoor relative humidity and energy consumption for heating. 相似文献
