The results show that permeation with solutions of K 2 SO 4 can adversely affects the hydraulic performance of cement-bentonite mixtures depending on sulphate concentration and mixture composition. Choosing a very low permeable mixture at brief curing time is essential to limit adverse effects of interaction with SO 42- on the hydraulic performance. Linear isotherms were found to model sorption of K + , with distribution coefficients resulted not to be significantly influenced with curing, allowing testing, usefully and safely, at brief curing. Values of the distribution coefficient in the range of those of cement paste were obtained. On the contrary, diffusion coefficients of K + and of SO 42- higher than those documented in the literature for cement pastes were found. In designing cut-off walls the results point out the importance of selecting a mixture with very low hydraulic conductivity values at brief curing and of considering its specific diffusion coefficients, as well as interaction and sorption capacity.","PeriodicalId":283909,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127390736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, investigated red bed soft rock was taken from Dingxi region, Gansu province, China. In order to obtain the apparent preconsolidation pressure of the soft rock, firstly, a new YS-1 high pressure oedometer was redesigned and used in the step loading confined compression experiments. Due to the soft rock’s low compressibility, the compressive curve was flat. Numerical mapping method was proposed considering curvature variation of the curve was not obvious. Secondly, the actual boundary condition which is the void ratio should monotonically decrease with the vertical pressure in the given domain was introduced. The existing 7 mathematical models were compared using the new defined conditions. The results showed that the Harris model was in good agreement with the compressive experimental results. Finally, the apparent preconsolidation pressure of the soft rock was calculated using the equations established in this research.","PeriodicalId":283909,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication","volume":"126 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129745643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the 28-day in situ strength can be predicted after a few days of mixing work, additional jet grouting work can be effectively performed if necessary, thereby reducing the impact on the construction schedule. In this study, laboratory tests were performed to estimate the 28-day strength of soil‒cement mixture specimens using accelerated curing at high temperature for a few days.

The geotechnical properties of compressibility, strength and permeability of the fused quartz were investigated experimentally and compared to those of natural sands and other transparent soil materials. An optimum transparency was obtained with a volume ratio of #15 white mineral oil and n-dodecane of 10:7.5 at room temperature. The dense fused quartz was less compressible with the coefficient of compressibility ( α 1-2 ) being 0.192 MPa -1 . The intrinsic permeability ranged from 18.7 to 31.5 darcys and the differences from the natural sands were ignorable. The peak friction angle ranged between 40.9 and 47.3°, which was within the typical range of sands.

It is found that the shear displacement-shear stress curve of the soil under the multi-stage unloading path is different from those under the loading state. The soil sample is prone to shear failure during small deformation under multi-stage unloading. The shear strength is related to the initial consolidation pressure and unloading ratio.

Previous studies have reported that, for the same steelmaking slag, the concentration of dissolved silica and the shear strength of a mixture of dredged soil and steelmaking slag increases as the content of amorphous silica in the clay increases. However, the relationship between factors that affect solidification strength, such as the ratio of amorphous silica content and the humic acid content, and the solidification strength of a mixture of clayey soil and steelmaking slag has not been clarified. In this study, focusing on the ratio of amorphous silica contents in clay, clays containing different ratios of amorphous silica content were prepared by mixing kaolin clay and metakaolin. The unconfined compressive strengths of the clay mixed with steelmaking slag were measured. For the same curing time and up to an amorphous silica content ratio of 15%, the strength increases with an increase in the ratio. In addition, the shear strength develops earlier for higher content ratios of amorphous silica. Compared with studies on dredged soils mixed with steelmaking slag, the amorphous silica content ratio of the clay in this study was higher than that of dredged soils. However, the shear strength in the dredged soil with amorphous silica from diatoms and minerals mixed with steelmaking slag developed earlier than that of the clay with amorphous silica from minerals mixed with steelmaking slag. The differences in the development of shear strength can be attributed to the difference of the amorphous silica from minerals or that from diatoms.","PeriodicalId":283909,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127919750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
