High-strength concrete with different fine aggregate

High-strength concrete (HSC) has undergone many developments based on the studies of influence of cement type, type and proportions of mineral admixtures, type of superplasticizer and the mineralogical composition of coarse aggregates. Most studies were carried out using natural sand with rounded and smooth grains. In practice, crushed sands from various sources are frequently used in concrete. In this paper, two aspects of the effect of crushed sands on HSCs are presented. First, the performance of crushed sands in relation to natural sand using a low water/cement (w/c) ratio and fixed coarse aggregate and cement content is analyzed. Results show that concrete with crushed sand requires an increase of superplasticizer to obtain the same slump. It also presents a higher strength than the corresponding natural sand concrete at all test ages, while its elastic modulus is lower at 28 days and is the same after that. Studies on the development of hydration and mortar phase of concrete show that the increase of strength can be attributed to the improvement of paste-fine aggregate transition zone. Second, the influence of the mineralogical source of the crushed sands was studied using three different types of crushed sands (granite, limestone and dolomite) with similar grading. Two mixtures containing 450 and 485 kg/m³ cement and low w/c ratio are analyzed. Results show the adverse effects of shape and texture on workability of concrete, but the compressive strength of concrete is improved. Granite crushed sand appears as the most advantageous sand for this purpose.     

饱和砂土吸力基础沉贯过程中渗流场分布

针对不同长径比的传统吸力基础及裙式吸力基础,采用有限元数值模拟的方法,研究其在饱和砂土内吸力沉贯过程中的土体渗流场分布规律。研究结果表明:传统吸力基础在沉贯过程中,土中渗流场均呈现层状分布,水头等值线密集分布于主桶内部土体,相对比较平缓;而主桶外部水头等值线变化较小且分布比较稀疏。裙式吸力基础渗流场主要存在于主桶内部和裙结构内部,并向外扩散至部分土体。吸力沉贯过程中土体的水头损失主要集中在主桶内部和裙结构内部,土体中的孔压分布和传统吸力基础规律一致,即成层状分布并未出现泡状的孔压分布形式。研究成果对揭示吸力基础沉贯机理有理论指导意义。     

地铁深基坑分区开挖监测及数值模拟

对于狭长的地铁车站深基坑,围护结构区域内岩土体在实际施工时经常采用分区的方式进行开挖。为了分析分区开挖工况下深基坑的稳定性规律,选取合肥市某地铁车站深基坑作为研究对象,运用有限差分软件对实际工程进行数值模拟。比较模型计算结果与现场实测结果,得到了基坑分区开挖过程中围护结构侧向位移、横向支撑轴力,以及地表沉降的变化规律。研究结果表明:现场实测结果与数值模拟结果较为接近且均小于规范限值,数值模型能较好地反映基坑变形特性;随着开挖的进行,围护结构变形出现明显的"鼓肚"状,最大侧向位移点向基坑中段移动;支撑轴力前期发展较快,之后趋于平稳;邻近地表沉降呈现为凹槽状,基坑开挖影响范围约在40 m内。研究结果可为其他类似工程设计或施工决策提供参考。

某抽水蓄能电站下库进出水口水沙运动特性试验研究

利用河工模型对某抽水蓄能电站下库区进行了特征洪水过程及电站运行的联合模拟试验。试验表明在输沙槽与拦沙潜堰共同作用下,电站进出水口的含沙量得到有效控制。在来水含沙量低于3kg/m3时,进出水口含沙量都满足电站运行要求,但是在含沙量较高的洪水期,底部浑水会逆行至电站进出水口附近,导致过机含沙量较高,因此提出了增设非封闭式拦沙潜坝的修改方案。修改方案改善了进出水口前的水流结构,起到了良好的拦沙截淤作用,进出水口前含沙量及泥沙淤积大幅减少,蓄能期过机含沙量降低13%~22%。在含沙量较大的洪水期,电站不宜抽水运用,但适时采用发电运行有助于减轻下库进出水口前的泥沙淤积。

Transport of Gellan Gum Microbeads in Soil Columns of Various Grain Size Distributions

The transport of gellan gum microbeads as potential cell carriers was investigated in horizontal columns packed with different grain size classes of gravel (2–16 mm) and sand (0.25–2 mm). A suspension of microbeads was pulsed into each column for 6 h, followed by injection of water for 42 h. In general, the total amount of microbeads travelling across a given section of the column increased with injection time but decreased towards the column outlet, varying as a direct function of grain size. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of the transport of gellan gum microbeads through medium sand to medium gravel across distances up to 110 cm.

Polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) of chitosan (Chi) and poly (acrylic acid) (PAA)-modified iron sand leachate were prepared and considered for applicability as a proton exchange membrane in fuel cells. Chi-PAA-hematite blended in different weight ratios and the resulting membranes were treated to enable the formation of the polyelectrolyte. The membranes of Chi-PAA polyblend were treated using iron sand leachate and reveal high ion exchange capacity (IEC), proton conductivity, water uptake, and good mechanical stability. The result of research indicated that the membrane with 40 wt% of Chi and 60 wt% of PAA blend which its conductivity of 6.10 × 10^?2 S cm^?1 was potentially for a proton exchange membrane in fuel cell applications.
