OPC-MCA固化剂对盾构废泥的固化性能及其微观作用机制研究

通过添加高炉矿渣(GGBS)、脱硫石膏(FGDG)、铝酸钙粉、生石灰和明矾到普通硅酸盐水泥P.O42.5(OPC)中,制备一种新型盾构废泥改良材料OPC-MCA。首先,通过正交测试法确定OPC-MCA中各原料的最优配比。然后,使用该材料和OPC在10%~40%的掺量下处理芜湖市城南过江隧道工程产生的盾构废泥,并检测不同固化时间(3、7、28 d)下的抗压强度。最后,采用扫描电镜(SEM)、工业CT系统和X射线衍射(XRD)观察和分析固化后废泥试样的微观形貌、孔隙和裂纹特征以及矿物成分变化。研究结果表明:OPCMCA的最优材料配比为51%OPC、32%GGBS、8%FGDG、5%铝酸钙粉、3%生石灰、1%明矾;OPCMCA对芜湖盾构废泥的固化能力比OPC的强,在低掺量情况下更是如此;固化剂掺量和固化时间的增加会导致试样强度增加、脆性增强,并使部分试样转变为拉伸破坏;在OPC-MCA固化的试样中检测到了OPC固化试样中未检测到的水化硅铝酸钙(C-A-S-H)和单硫型硫铝酸盐(AFm),并且钙矾石(AFt)含量也更高;在同等掺量下,OPC-MCA固化试样中大尺寸孔隙的比例以及孔隙的总体积均比OPC固化试样的小。

Microstructure Features and the Macroscopic Acoustic Behavior of Gassy Silt in the Yellow River Delta

The morphological changes in isolated bubbles in gassy silt play a critical role in the microscopic structures between soil particles and bubbles and macroscopic physical properties.Based on X-ray CT scanning experiments under various vertical loads(four levels),self-designed acoustic macro experiments,and a series of formula revisions to the macro-air-bearing silt sound-velocity prediction model,this paper discusses the macro-and micro-scale features of gassy silts from the Yellow River Delta.The samples consisted of different proportions of silt from the Yellow River Delta and porous media,and they were used to form two types of aerosol silts with initial gas contents of 4.23%and 7.67%.The results show that the air bubble content and external load considerably affect the microstructural parameters and acoustic behavior of gassy silt in the Yellow River Delta.The macroscopic sound velocity showed a linear positive correlation with vertical load and relation to microstructural parameters in varying manners and degrees.Based on the traditional Biot-Stoll acoustic model,the gas-phase medium coefficient was introduced for the proper calculation and prediction of the sound velocity of air-bearing silt.The errors of the overall prediction varied between 5.6%and 9.6%.

Factors Influencing the Thermal Conductivity of Silt in the Yellow River Delta

The thermal conductivity of marine sediments is an important thermophysical parameter in the study of seafloor heat flow and marine engineering construction.Understanding the effect of thermal conductivity of marine sediments in the environment has a major engineering value and theoretical significance.In this work,a modified test method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of silt in the Yellow River Delta under different void ratios,moisture contents,temperatures,and salinities.Results showed that the thermal conductivity of silt in the Yellow River Delta decreased with the increase in the void ratio and increased with the water content.Compared with sand and clay,silt in the Yellow River Delta was the least affected by the void ratio and moisture content.Under low temperatures,the heat transfer of soil was controlled by the average velocity of the phonons;therefore,the thermal conductivity of silt in the Yellow River Estuary increased with temperature.The thermal conductivity of pore water decreased with increasing salinity.Moreover,certain salinity levels resulted in a phenomenon known as the‘compressing twin electrical layer’,which led to an increase in the contact area between soil particles.With the increase in salinity,the thermal conductivity of silt in the Yellow River Delta experiences an initial decline and a subsequent increase.The proposed thermal conductivity test method is more accurate than the existing technique,and the findings provide a basis for further study on the thermal characteristics of submarine sediments.

Arctic oscillation and the antarcic oscillation modes in the atmospheric stratosphere

On the basis of the EOF analysis of global geopotential height anomaly(GHA)field at 10 hPa level,the arctic oscillation(AO)and the means antarctic oscillation(AAO)can bedetected more obviously at the upper level of atmosphere than the AO or the AAO in surface layer.Unlike the hemisphere pattern of the AO and the AAO in the surface lager given by previous authors,the AO or the AAO in the stratosphere has its global features.The zonal oscillations—the SouthernOscillation(SO)and the north oscillation(NO)in atmospheric surface layer become less clear inthe upper air.The first mode(AO mode,abbreviated to AOM hereafter)and the second mode(AAO mode,abbreviated to AAOM hereafter)respectively have 41.47%and 27.04%of the total variancecontribution.The cumulative variance contribution of the first two modes reaches 68.51%.These twomodes are the main components for the interdecadal or decadal oscillation in the stratosphere.Inaddition,there still exist two kinds of oscillation patterns with less probability,namely,thesymmetric pattern at mid-high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere and the asymmetric pattern.Spectral analysis shows that the AOM and the AAOM all have a spectral peak for 22 a period,beingconsistent with the periodic variations of the solar magnetic field,and a peak for 11 a period,being consistent with the period of the numbers of sunspots.Step filter analysis shows that theinfluencing factor for the upper atmospheric oscillation is the solar activity.The fluctuation ofthe solar magnetic field is the more influencing factor than the variation of the sunspot number.
