This paper provides upper- and lower-bound limits of stiffness improvement observed from the treatment of infilled solution features in chalk as part of the Central 1 contract being delivered by the Align JV, which is part of the UK's High Speed 2 Phase 1 rail link. Infilled solution features were treated using rapid impact compaction (RIC) to achieve a sufficiently stiff subgrade beneath a wide range of temporary foundations and reduce the risk of collapse settlement. Improvement by RIC treatment was sufficient to ensure subsequent foundation performance or reduce the extent of compaction grouting subsequently required beneath the most heavily loaded foundations. The depth of improvement observed was up to 10 m and the improvement in elastic modulus observed was up to five times the pre-treatment value. Over 40 cone penetration tests were conducted before and after RIC. Typical lower- and upper-bound improvement curves are presented based on the observed minimum and maximum post-treatment stiffness. The degree of stiffness improvement was observed to generally reduce at greater than 5 m depth.
本文提供了通过处理粉笔中填充溶液特征观察到的刚度改善的上限和下限,这是由Align合资公司交付的中央1号合同的一部分,该合同是英国高铁2期1的一部分。使用快速冲击压实(RIC)处理填充溶液特征,以在广泛的临时基础下实现足够刚性的路基,并降低崩塌沉降的风险。RIC处理的改善足以确保后续的基础性能或减少随后在最重载基础下所需的压实灌浆程度。观察到的改善深度可达10 m,观察到的弹性模量改善可达预处理值的5倍。在RIC前后进行了40多次锥突测试。根据观察到的最小和最大处理后刚度,给出了典型的下界和上界改进曲线。在深度大于5 m时,观察到刚度改善程度普遍降低。

The paper presents an original application of vacuum preloading, conceived for the reclamation of containment facilities hydraulically filled with fine-grained sediments, and the evaluation of its performance. The technique, which consists in the installation of horizontal vacuum layers within the dredged soil mass, with the aim of reducing the soil volume and accelerating the consolidation while filling is underway, was successfully implemented for the first time in the port of Gaeta (Italy). The construction sequence and the numerical models developed to analyse the huge changes of state experienced by the soil – whose prediction is paramount in evaluating the actual storage capacity of the impoundments – are described. Monitoring data and in situ test results are illustrated and compared with numerical predictions (class A, C and back-analyses), confirming the effectiveness of the technique and of the modelling choices. Finally, the lessons learned from the case history to optimise the use of the technical solution and of the modelling approach are reported. The presented vacuum preloading technique and analysis methods can be highly beneficial to the environmentally sound and cost-effective design of reclamation works, especially, but not only, those involving undersized containment facilities.
本文介绍了真空预压技术在细颗粒沉淀物围护设施填海中的初步应用,并对其性能进行了评价。该技术包括在疏浚的土体内安装水平真空层,目的是在填充过程中减少土壤体积并加速固结,该技术首次在加埃塔港(意大利)成功实施。本文描述了水库的施工顺序和为分析土体所经历的巨大状态变化而开发的数值模型,这种变化的预测对于评价水库的实际库容至关重要。对监测数据和现场试验结果进行了说明,并与数值预测(A类、C类和反分析)进行了比较,证实了技术和模型选择的有效性。最后,报告了从案例历史中吸取的经验教训,以优化技术解决方案和建模方法的使用。本文所提出的真空预压技术和分析方法,可为填海工程的环保和成本效益设计提供极大的帮助,特别是(但不仅限于)那些涉及小型密封设施的填海工程。

Dispersive soils became a worldwide major concern owing to its high susceptibility to erosion, which is responsible for ravines, tunnels, among others problems. Commonly, ordinary Portland cement or even hydrated lime are employed to solve the aforementioned drawbacks. Nonetheless, alternative treatments have been suggested to provide options to replace natural resources. Therefore, the present study aims to compare two distinct soil stabilization methods, namely, dispersive soil-hydrated lime and dispersive soil-ground waste glass-carbide lime through an environmental life cycle and life cycle cost approach. The proposed assessment was carried out according to life cycle inventories responsible to stabilize 1.0 m³ of the two distinct mixtures. Among the 18 impact categories evaluated in the environmental life cycle assessment, the alternative binder was less impacting than the traditional hydrated lime over the entire impact categories. Concerning to the cost approach, the traditional stabilization based on hydrated lime had an approximate total cost of US$ 12.02, whereas the alternative stabilization methodology a cost of US$ 39.58. Thereby, ground waste glass-carbide lime binder has potential to be known as an alternative environment friendly binder to soil stabilization, succeeding in both mechanical and environment performances but being unsuccessful in terms of costs until the present moment.
分散性土壤因其极易受到侵蚀而成为全世界关注的主要问题,这是造成沟壑、隧道等问题的原因。通常采用普通硅酸盐水泥甚至水合石灰来解决上述缺点。尽管如此,人们还是提出了替代疗法,以提供替代自然资源的选择。因此,本研究旨在通过环境生命周期和生命周期成本的方法,比较分散性土壤-水合石灰和分散性土壤-废碳化玻璃石灰两种不同的土壤稳定方法。拟议的评估是根据负责稳定两种不同混合物1.0 m³的生命周期清单进行的。在环境生命周期评价的18个影响类别中,替代粘合剂在整个影响类别中比传统水合石灰的影响要小。关于成本方法,基于水合石灰的传统稳定方法的总成本约为12.02美元,而替代稳定方法的成本为39.58美元。因此,地面废料玻璃碳化物石灰粘结剂有潜力成为土壤稳定的一种替代环境友好型粘结剂,在机械和环境性能方面都取得了成功,但在成本方面却不成功。

In this study, the synergic effects of alkaline activation (AA) and fibre inclusions, on the mechanical behaviour of fly ash stabilized black cotton soil was investigated. The natural fibre used in this research was treated with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution as an expedient solution to attain durability. The fibres are added in two forms: discrete fibres and geotextile. Assessment of engineering behaviour of the AA-treated soil reinforced with surface coated sisal fibres was carried out by conducting various laboratory tests like Free Swell (FS) test, Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test, and cyclic triaxial test. Microstructural characterization was done by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis. The test results conclusively showed that the alkaline activated-fly ash treated-sisal fibre reinforced soil exhibits better mechanical behaviour in terms of peak stress and post-peak behaviour and appreciable resistance to swelling. Overall, the study shows that fibre-reinforced AA-fly ash amendment could effectively enhance the strength, stiffness and toughness of the soil and could subsidize the anticipated detrimental effects that could cause by dynamic loading. This study affirms the potential of alkali-treated sisal fibre as an alternative to traditional stabilizers for construction involving expansive soil.
研究了碱活化(AA)和纤维包裹体对粉煤灰稳定黑棉土力学性能的协同作用。本研究中使用的天然纤维用氢氧化钠(NaOH)溶液作为权宜之计来处理,以获得耐久性。纤维以两种形式添加:离散纤维和土工布。通过各种实验室试验,如自由膨胀(FS)试验、无侧限抗压强度(UCS)试验和循环三轴试验,对表面包覆剑麻纤维加固的aa处理土的工程性能进行了评估。通过扫描电镜(SEM)和傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分析对其微观结构进行了表征。试验结果表明,碱活化粉煤灰处理剑麻纤维加筋土在峰值应力和峰后力学性能方面均表现出较好的力学性能,且具有较好的抗膨胀性。综上所述,纤维增强aa -粉煤灰改性剂可以有效地提高土体的强度、刚度和韧性,并可以补偿预期的动力加载可能带来的不利影响。这项研究肯定了碱处理剑麻纤维作为传统稳定剂的替代品的潜力,用于涉及膨胀土的建筑。

Class C fly ash, a byproduct of thermal power plants, is often preferred for the stabilisation of expansive soils. However, improper optimisation of the stabiliser may lead to the premature failure of treated soils during wet–dry cycles. This  study demonstrates the volume change behaviour of fly ash-stabilised expansive soils subjected to wet–dry cycles. Furthermore, the effect of class C fly ash and lime–class C fly ash on the physical and engineering properties is also studied. The experimental results showed that addition of 20% fly ash to the expansive soil reduced the swell potential to 0% from an untreated swell value of 10.5%. However, when it was subjected to five wet–dry cycles, the initial cementitious effect of the fly ash on controlling the swell was partially lost, and therefore the volumetric deformation of the stabilised expansive soil increased from 0 to 14.5%. Furthermore, among the different additive combinations used for the treatment of expansive soils, it was observed that the combination of 4% lime and 20% fly ash resulted in the volumetric deformation of only 2.05% even after the fifth wet–dry cycle. Besides, the percentage of desiccation cracks has also reduced significantly from 29 to 0.5%.
C类粉煤灰是热电厂的副产品,通常被首选用于稳定膨胀土。然而,稳定剂的不当优化可能导致处理过的土壤在干湿循环中过早失效。研究了粉煤灰稳定膨胀土在干湿循环作用下的体积变化特性。此外,还研究了C级粉煤灰和石灰C级粉煤灰对粉煤灰物理性能和工程性能的影响。试验结果表明,在膨胀土中添加20%粉煤灰后,膨胀势由未处理的10.5%降至0%。然而,当经历5次干湿循环后,粉煤灰控制膨胀的初始胶凝作用部分丧失,稳定膨胀土的体积变形从0增加到14.5%。此外,在不同的处理膨胀土的添加剂组合中,4%石灰和20%粉煤灰的组合即使在第5次干湿循环后也只产生了2.05%的体积变形。此外,干燥裂缝的比例也从29%显著降低到0.5%。

Biological approaches have captured the attention of researchers regarding the beneficial effects of cyanobacteria inoculation in improving surficial soil stability. However, a gap exists in the literature regarding the impact of inoculation by individual cyanobacteria on stability of sand under intense surface-water erosion. This study assesses the improvements achieved in erosion resistance for biological soil crust (BC) formed on medium–coarse silica sand. Specimen groups were inoculated with Nostoc sp. and Calothrix sp., incubated for 32- or 48 day periods and then tested using an erosion function apparatus (EFA), investigating a wide range of flow velocities (hydraulic shear stresses). The significance of BC attachment to (or detachment from) the specimen container sidewall was also investigated in the EFA testing. Compared with untreated sand, inoculated specimens had a significantly greater erosion resistance that increased with the incubation period, with Nostoc inoculum producing greater reductions in erodibility coefficients (45–75%) compared with Calothrix (16–67%). Contrasting bond structures introduced by Nostoc and Calothrix are highlighted by scanning electron microscopy images that showed long Nostoc filaments were entangled more strongly in sand pore voids compared with short Calothrix filaments. In conclusion, this study supports the idea of using cyanobacteria inoculation as an eco-friendly, cost-benefit and effective technique for mitigating land degradation.
生物方法已经引起了研究人员对蓝藻接种在改善表层土壤稳定性方面的有益影响的注意。然而,关于单个蓝藻接种对强烈地表水侵蚀下沙子稳定性的影响,文献中存在空白。本研究评估了中粗硅砂对生物结皮(BC)抗侵蚀能力的改善。各组标本分别接种Nostoc sp.和Calothrix sp.,孵育32天或48天,然后使用侵蚀功能仪(EFA)进行测试,研究大范围的流速(水力剪切应力)。在EFA测试中,BC附着(或脱离)标本容器侧壁的重要性也进行了研究。与未处理的砂相比,接种后的砂具有更强的抗侵蚀能力,且随孵育时间的延长而增加,其中接种Nostoc后可蚀系数的降低幅度(45-75%)大于Calothrix(16-67%)。扫描电镜图像显示,Nostoc和Calothrix引入的键结构对比突出,Nostoc长丝比Calothrix短丝在砂孔空隙中纠缠更强。总之,本研究支持使用蓝细菌接种作为一种生态友好,成本效益和有效的技术来缓解土地退化的想法。

The mechanical performance of microfine ground-granulated blast-furnace slag grouts for improving sandy soils was evaluated using unconfined compressive strength, drained triaxial compression and Brazilian tensile strength tests of grouted sand specimens. Two activator types, namely sodium hydroxide and rapid-hardening cement (RHC), and two biopolymer additives, namely xanthan gum (XG) and diutan gum (DG), were investigated for slag-based grouts prepared at various water–binder (w/b) ratios. The bench-scale investigation examined the cured strength properties of grouted sand specimens. It was observed that the RHC activator with modest biopolymer additive and smaller w/b ratio resulted in markedly higher strength gains. In terms of activator type, compared to sodium hydroxide, the RHC resulted in significantly better performance, mobilising increased cohesion in specimens tested in drained triaxial compression. When used together with slag grouts, XG and DG mostly showed comparable strength improvements, but DG proved more effective at lower dosage in increasing tensile strength of grouted sand.
通过注浆砂试件的无侧限抗压强度、排水三轴抗压强度和巴西抗拉强度试验,对改善砂质土的微细磨粒高炉矿渣注浆的力学性能进行了评价。研究了两种活化剂类型,即氢氧化钠和快速硬化水泥(RHC),以及两种生物聚合物添加剂,即黄原胶(XG)和日化胶(DG),用于不同水胶比(w/b)制备的渣基浆料。试验研究了灌浆砂试件的固化强度特性。结果表明,添加适量生物聚合物和较小w/b比的RHC活化剂可显著提高强度增益。就活化剂类型而言,与氢氧化钠相比,RHC的性能明显更好,在排水三轴压缩测试中,RHC的动员增强了试件的凝聚力。与矿渣灌浆配伍时,XG和DG的强度提高效果基本相当,但DG在较低剂量下对灌浆砂抗拉强度的提高效果更好。
