Abstract
Silty-fine sand in the Yellow River floodplain is prone to geological hazards such as collapse, subsidence, gushing water, and sand routing triggered by groundwater seepage. As a new type of grouting material, permeable polymer is effective for solving silty-fine sand geologic hazards. With the rise and fall of the water table, capillary water, and transpiration, the reinforced silty-fine sand will be subjected to dry-wet cycles. Investigating the strength loss mechanism of specimens reinforced with permeable polymer during dry-wet cycles is essential for mitigating silty-fine sand geological hazards. The strength characteristics of permeable polymer grout-reinforced silty-fine sand specimens under dry-wet cycles and its extreme case (long-time immersion) were analyzed from macro and micro perspectives employing unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The functional calculation model between the specimens and the initial grouting conditions under dry-wet cycles was constructed, and the main influencing factors of the UCS loss of the specimens were obtained. After permeable polymer grouting, the porosity of silty-fine sand is reduced effectively and the porous structure is changed. The grouted specimens maintain structural integrity and demonstrate excellent water stability even after dry-wet cycles.
期刊介绍:
Soils and Foundations is one of the leading journals in the field of soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering. It is the official journal of the Japanese Geotechnical Society (JGS)., The journal publishes a variety of original research paper, technical reports, technical notes, as well as the state-of-the-art reports upon invitation by the Editor, in the fields of soil and rock mechanics, geotechnical engineering, and environmental geotechnics. Since the publication of Volume 1, No.1 issue in June 1960, Soils and Foundations will celebrate the 60th anniversary in the year of 2020.
Soils and Foundations welcomes theoretical as well as practical work associated with the aforementioned field(s). Case studies that describe the original and interdisciplinary work applicable to geotechnical engineering are particularly encouraged. Discussions to each of the published articles are also welcomed in order to provide an avenue in which opinions of peers may be fed back or exchanged. In providing latest expertise on a specific topic, one issue out of six per year on average was allocated to include selected papers from the International Symposia which were held in Japan as well as overseas.
