Abstract
Alkaline rice straw fibers (ARSF), as a widely available and recyclable plant fiber source, can provide new insights for improving the mechanical properties of backfill and the treatment of agricultural waste resources research. Different amounts of ARSF were prepared to enhance the cemented lithium mica tailings backfill (CLMTB), and uniaxial compression strength (UCS) tests and Brazilian splitting tensile strength tests were conducted to study the influence of ARSF on the static mechanical properties of CLMTB samples. Firstly, the flowability of mortars with different ARSF content was tested, the results showed that the flowability decreased by a maximum of 5.4 %, which met the construction requirements of cement mortar in the construction process. The UCS showed an increasing trend and then reduced with the increased ARSF content, with 0.15 % being the optimal content, showing a maximum increase of 14.2 %. Under Brazilian splitting loading conditions, the tensile strength gradually increased with the increased ARSF content, with 0.60 % being the optimal content. The UCS of the CLMTB samples showed exponential growth with increased curing age. Additionally, there was a linear functional relationship between the curing age and the tensile strength of the CLMTB samples. The experimental results indicate that the ARSF improved the toughness and changed the failure mode of the CLMTB samples. In the meantime, it increased the residual bearing capacity and the peak tensile strain of the CLMTB samples.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Construction Materials provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies on construction materials. In addition, the journal also publishes related Short Communications, Full length research article and Comprehensive review papers (by invitation).
The journal will provide an essential compendium of case studies for practicing engineers, designers, researchers and other practitioners who are interested in all aspects construction materials. The journal will publish new and novel case studies, but will also provide a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic construction material problems and solutions.
