This paper describes results of a series of mesoscale molecular dynamics simulations of the hydrostatic compression and shear strain behavior for initially randomly oriented assemblies of 10<sup>3</sup> illite primary particles. The particles are simulated as rigid-body ellipsoids that interact through the single-site, Gay–Berne potential function. This corresponds to a coarse-grained model based on prior atomistic scale computation of the potential of mean force for water-mediated interactions between pairs of particles through free energy perturbation method. We investigate the mesoscale fabrics of the NPT-equilibrated assemblies for confining pressures ranging from 1.0 to 125 atm, including path dependence associated with unloading and reloading. We analyze and quantify the geometric arrangement including particle orientation, specific surface area, properties of particle stacks/aggregates, and interstack pair correlation functions. The compression of each particle assembly is associated with large irrecoverable changes in void ratio, while unloading and reloading involves much smaller, largely recoverable volumetric strains. The results are qualitatively similar to macroscopic compression behavior reported in laboratory tests. We simulate the uniaxial and shear behavior at each of the equilibrated pressure states through a series of strain-controlled steps, allowing full relaxation of the virial stresses computed at each step. The simulations investigate directional and path dependence of the shear behavior for strain deviations up to 0.2%. The results show the onset on nonlinear stiffness properties at strain levels <span>(sim)</span>0.01% and hysteretic behavior upon unloading and reloading. Small-strain stiffness properties of the particle assemblies are qualitatively in good agreement with quasi-static, elastic stiffness properties reported for illitic clays.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"20 2","pages":"781 - 802"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143362109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this, a biogeochemical cover (BGCC) system is developed to mitigate these emissions. This study evaluates the effectiveness of the BGCC in comparison with a conventional soil cover (SC) system using a new large-scale laboratory setup that simulates near-field scale conditions. Both cover systems were exposed to synthetic landfill gas (LFG) across five phases, featuring varying gas compositions and influx rates. Surface emission rates and gas concentrations were continuously monitored. Post-termination of the experiments, both cover systems were dismantled, and samples were collected from different depths and locations to analyze spatial variations in physico-chemical properties. Select samples from the biocover layer of both the cover systems and basic oxygen furnace (BOF) slag layer of BGCC were subjected to batch tests to measure potential CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation rates and residual carbonation capacity, respectively. The results showed that both cover systems achieved their highest CH<sub>4</sub> removal efficiency at moderate influx rates (23.9–25.5 g CH<sub>4</sub>/m<sup>2</sup>-day), with BGCC's CH<sub>4</sub> removal ranging from 74.7 to 79.7% and SC's from 83.5 to 99.8%. Complete H<sub>2</sub>S removal occurred in the biocover layer of both systems. The highest average CH<sub>4</sub> oxidation rates were 277.9 µg CH<sub>4</sub>/g-day at 50 cm below-ground surface (bgs) in BGCC and 260.2 µg CH<sub>4</sub>/g-day at 70 cm bgs in SC, with the lowest oxidation rates observed at deeper regions (at 85 cm bgs) of both covers. The breakthrough of CO<sub>2</sub> occurred after 156 days of continuous exposure and could be attributed to the desiccation of the BOF slag layer. Overall, the BGCC system effectively mitigated CH<sub>4</sub>, CO<sub>2</sub>, and H<sub>2</sub>S emissions, whereas the SC system only mitigated CH<sub>4</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>S at moderate flux rates, indicating that BGCC provides a comprehensive solution for LFG mitigation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"20 3","pages":"1471 - 1494"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of a DEM model depends heavily on the accuracy of the particle property parameters chosen which is of vital importance for studying the mechanical properties of granular materials. However, the existing DEM parameter calibration methods are limited in terms of applicability, and the trial-and-error method remains the most common way for DEM parameter calibration. This paper presents a novel calibration method for DEM parameters using the multi-objective tree-structured parzen estimator algorithm based on prior physical information (MOTPE-PPI). The MOTPE-PPI does not rely on the training datasets and may optimize with every single test, significantly reducing the computational efforts for DEM simulation. Moreover, MOTPE-PPI is suitable for a variety of contact models and damping parameters in DEM simulation, showing robust applicability and practical feasibility. Taking an example, the DEM parameters of sandy gravel material collected from Dashixia rockfill dam in China are calibrated using MOTPE-PPI in the paper. The prior physical information is obtained through a series of triaxial loading–unloading tests, single-particle crushing tests, and literature research. Seven parameters in the rolling resistance linear contact model and breakage model are considered, and the optimization process takes only 25 iterations. Through quantitative comparison with existing parameter calibration methods, the high efficiency and wide applicability of the DEM parameter calibration method proposed in this study. The calibrated DEM parameters are used to investigate the hysteretic behavior and deformation characteristics of the granular material, revealing that the accumulation of plastic strain and resilient modulus is related to confining pressure, stress level, and the number of cycles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"20 3","pages":"1379 - 1401"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143571151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their swelling is associated with the chemical process of anhydrite to gypsum transformation and has caused extensive damages in tunnels. Even though this problem has attracted great scientific interest, an adequate mathematical description of the swelling of anhydritic rocks is still missing. The present paper contributes towards closing this gap by formulating a coupled chemo-mechanical constitutive model, which considers anhydritic rock as an elastoplastic porous medium according to the principle of effective stresses, with a Mohr–Coulomb yield criterion, a non-associated flow rule and an additional, chemically induced strain component. The volumetric chemical strain is equal to the sum of the changes of the volume of the solids and of the pore volume. The change of the volume of the solids depends on the stoichiometry of the chemical reaction and is proportional to the mass of the transformed anhydrite. The pore volume may increase or decrease during the anhydrite to gypsum transformation, depending on how gypsum grows. The pore volume increases if the gypsum crystals crack and expand the matrix, and decreases if the gypsum crystals precipitate within the available pore space. The proposed model considers experimental results according to which the higher the stresses and porosity, the lower the increase in pore volume. In addition, the model assumes that the chemical strains are coaxial with the principal stresses and that the volumetric chemical strain in each principal direction is inversely proportional to the corresponding principal stress. The model is calibrated with results of tests on artificial anhydrite-kaolin specimens and achieves a very high correlation degree (<i>R</i><sup><i>2</i></sup> = 0.92).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":49308,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geotechnica","volume":"20 2","pages":"823 - 841"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11440-024-02447-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143361990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that using a first spray solution before germination with concentrations of 0.05 mol/L (calcium source solution) and 10 g/L (urease solution), the sand plants (Alfalfa, Astragalus, and Sarcozygium) had an optimal germination rate. For the second spray solution after germination, it is recommended to employ a solution comprising 0.05 mol/L, 40 g/L at an application amount of 4 L/m<sup>2</sup> (spray amount), using a one-phase injection method to improve the spray efficiency, which had the highest strength, the best water retention, and the best erosion resistance.
