Abstract Using of waste materials and secondary products from other industries in building industry to manufacturing building materials is one way to the sustainability. However, application of various waste requires serious monitoring and investigation of the safety of the new composites. Heavy metals presence and their releasing from the building materials can pose a potential risk to the environment and human health. The paper presents the results of a study of concrete composites with blast furnace granulated slag and special hybrid cement based on secondary mineral admixtures in relation to their heavy metals leachability. Selected metals (Cr, Pb, Ba, Ni, As) have been analysed using long-term tank and cyclic testing. The concretes with slag addition and hybrid cement proved more intensive releasing of analysed metals compared to the reference concrete. The aggressiveness of extracting media was strongly affected not only by pH but by the quantity of the ions presented in the liquids before the experiment as well. Although the leached quantities were not extremely high, results confirmed the need to monitor the building products with the incorporated waste.

Abstract Taking into account the soil-structure interaction in the design of structures is a very decisive factor in the safety and durability of these structures. Several studies have been carried out in this direction to better describe the behavior of soil-structure interfaces. This paper presents an analysis of the maximum and minimum displacement as a function of the number of cycles of a bored pile under the effect of cyclic tensile loading. In this study, the cyclic stiffness and the displacement of the pile are expressed by a simple formulation according to the cyclic parameters, based on the exploitation of the experimental tests carried out by Benzaria (2013) on a bored pile.The proposed formulation well predicts the displacement of piles in cyclic tensile. The approach presented in this paper can be used to evaluate the maximum and the minimum displacement of the head of pile foundation subjected to large number of shear cycles.

Abstract Concrete is as a significant building material. Due to the fact that it is possible to incorporate by-products and industry waste into its structure, concrete represents an important sustainable material. Steel slag has a great potential for its reuse in concrete production. Despite that it is subject to volume changes over time, it can be used in concrete as a cement replacement or as a substitute for natural aggregates. The paper is focused at investigation the concretes with steel slag as a substitute of natural gravel aggregate of 4/8 mm and 8/16 mm fractions. In addition, a life cycle assessment within the system boundaries cradle-to-gate was performed. Results showed that some samples with slag have better mechanical parameters than samples with natural aggregate and significantly affect the utilization rate of non-renewable raw materials and reduce the overall negative environmental impacts of concrete up to 7 %.

Abstract The calibration chamber of the 3SR INPG laboratory in Grenoble used to study the point stress and the shear, mobilized along the shaft of the pile under monotonic axial loading. The physical model used for the various tests is a standard mini-pile installed in standard sand: Fontainebleau sand. This article explores the induced effects on the bearing shear capacity of the pile as a function of time, up to the point of failure, under different monotonic loads applied after periods of rest. A series of monotonic static loading tests, were performed on the pile. Tensile load tests, uplift, were performed before and after each series of static loads. A Lateral stress was observed at the start of the experiment at the pile-soil interface. It disappears as soon as the pile is driven into the soil, due to the dilatancy of the soil. This observed phenomenon is probably due to a decrease in non-mobilized lateral friction at the start of the experiment. A study of this phenomenon will be described in this article. Likewise, the effect of the mechanical characteristics of the soil and the effect of time will be presented in the bearing capacity of the soil, as well as the total bearing capacity of the pile under monotonic static loading.

Abstract Coherent soils are very responsive in nature and are part of many human activities. They change in volume considerably with changes in moisture content. These soils are characterized by the presence of a large proportion of highly active clay minerals of the montmorillonite group which are responsible for the pronounced volume change capability of the soils. The objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of different polymers on the plasticity properties of swelling clays. A study of their physicochemical properties based on an experimental protocol in the laboratory was carried out, the results obtained showed that the addition of the different types and amounts of polymers favourably influences the behaviour of expansive soils and reduces swelling.

Abstract In this paper a finite-element analysis was carried out using Plaxis2D software to model a vertical cut reinforced by nails. Optimization of the effect of three input parameters on stability design is a key element of the analysis. We compare results obtained by three techniques of design optimization; Taguchi’s Design of Experiment (DOE), Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The effect of three input factors on stability design was considered: nail length to wall height ratio (A), nail inclination (B) and vertical spacing (C). By altering the parameter variables, the design served to build and acquire a statistically significant mathematical model for optimizing soil nailing wall parameters. The aim is to minimize a single objective function of safety factor and identify the optimal parameters of design among all possibilities. DOE method and result analysis were carried out using MINITAB 18 software, while GA and PSO algorithm analysis were implemented by coding in MATLAB. According to the results, it was found that 9m of length, 2m of vertical spacing and 10° of inclination is the optimal combination minimizing safety factor. The results produced from this study show that all three techniques arrive at the same optimal combination of minimum response.
