The added retarders extend the initial setting time, thus facilitating the removal of excessive water, that the 0.2 % addition of calcium lignosulfonate causes 6.5 % increment of dewatering mass. Especially, calcium lignosulfonate, working as a versatile agent of imparting significant improvements in the rheological properties of cement mixtures and augmenting the structural integrity of clayey soils, was found to significantly enhance the VAF efficiency and the UCS, of which 28-day’s UCS further increases comparing to referential group after VAF. The study also reveals that calcium sources, such as desulfurized ash and lime, are also vital in replenishing calcium ions lost during VAF and maintaining a strong alkaline environment, significantly contributing to the strength enhancement. Additionally, the intermittent timing is also critical to the filtration efficiency, where the intermittent time was recommended within two hours post-mixing.

Biopolymer as an eco-friendly stabilizing material, has a great potential to amend soils for the purpose of ground improvement and slope stabilization, with its application in vegetated soils particularly at the initial growing stage to support vegetation growth as well as offer reinforcement to unprotected soils being reported recently. In the current study, the contribution of xanthan gum (XG) to both mechanical and hydraulic behaviors of the unvegetated and vegetated loess soils subjected to climatic wetting–drying cycles under the impacts of degree of compaction and biopolymer content are explored, whilst the effectiveness of the two XG-based soil reinforcing methods (with and without vegetation) are compared. Results indicate that XG treatment improved the water-retention capacity of loess soils to an extent that even the degradation of water retention upon initial wetting–drying cycles could be mitigated particularly at higher degrees of compaction. The strengthened shear resistance of loess soils was observed, mainly attributed to the increased soil cohesion, whilst the friction angle remained almost constant. The unvegetated loess soils basically had an increased cohesion proportional to the XG content up to 1.00% of the dry soil mass, whilst the vegetated soils had the highest soil cohesion at a fixed XG content of 0.50% which corresponded to the mostly promoted vegetation growth. Although a dense soil structure inhibited the seed germination and growth of sprouts and roots, it contributed to the overall shear strength of the vegetated soils similar to its effect on the unvegetated soils. XG amendment outperformed planting vegetation at enhancing soil shear strength at a degree of compaction of 95% (comparable to those adopted for design of highway subgrade), whilst providing XG in combination with vegetation was able to result in a more sizable strength increment over the summation of gains in strength by utilizing XG and vegetation separately, suggesting the considerable potential of XG in assisting vegetated soils for ecological slope stabilization. The results obtained from the current research support the broader usage of biopolymers (either used alone or in combination with vegetation) as reliable geotechnical engineering materials in practical implementations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Real-time monitoring of subgrade deformation is critical to ensure the safety of subgrade operations. In this paper, a sensor-enabled piezoelectric geoelectric cable (SPGC) with impedance strain effect and piezoelectric effect is tested. The SPGC impedance and voltage signals obtained by cyclic shear test under vertical static load and cyclic shear test under vertical cyclic load are used to evaluate the monitoring effect. The results showed that normal stress had the greatest effect on the shear strength of the soil, whereas the normal stress and horizontal shear displacement amplitude significantly influenced the strain in the soil. Varying the normal and horizontal shear frequencies had little effect on the shear strength and strain of the soil. The normalized impedance and voltage of the SPGC, respectively, decreased and increased rapidly during the initial stage of the shear cycle; these changes were relatively small during the middle and late stages of the shear cycle. The SPGC voltage waveform revealed the changes in the shear stress and vertical displacement under different normal and horizontal shear frequencies, from which the stability of the subgrade soil under the aforementioned conditions could be evaluated. The variations in the SPGC impedance and effective voltage from the cyclic shear tests under both vertical static and vertical cyclic loads remained essentially consistent with the number of cycles. However, there was a difference in that the trough of the SPGC impedance under the vertical cyclic load was larger than that under the vertical static load; likewise, the effective SPGC voltage under the cyclic load was larger than that under the static load. Through an analysis of the SPGC impedance and voltage signals in the subgrade soil, the consistency of the SPGC-normalized impedance and effective voltage with shear stress was clarified; this helped us evaluate the health of the subgrade and monitor the characteristics of the precursor signals before a slide were to occur, thereby affording us an opportunity to issue timely warnings.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":56013,"journal":{"name":"Transportation Geotechnics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142084169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results demonstrate that the UCS and <em>k</em> of tested materials decreased with increasing <em>FVR</em> due the decrease in unit weight, and a greater UCS but smaller <em>k</em> was observed at a given <em>FVR</em> with increasing red mud content because the inclusion of red mud in the lightweight CLSM mix design helps improve the stability of air bubbles and achieve uniform distribution of air voids. In addition, the red mud can act as a NaOH supplier, leading to the developed material had additional strength gain from the alkali activation.

The potential macro–micro linkages are studied. The experimental results revealed that the volumetric strain of the geocell-reinforced samples increased with the material’s elastic modulus, exhibiting a shear shrinkage phenomenon. The deformation pattern of the reinforced samples presented “segmental deformation,” which differed from that of the unreinforced sand samples. The geocell enhanced the cohesion intercept of the sand samples while having a minimal impact on friction angle. Through the analysis of numerical simulation results, it was found that the geocell constrained the displacement of the soil particles, altering the shear band development trend of the sample and resulting in “segmental deformation”. The geocell facilitated the concentration of force chains, enhancing their stability and resulting in improving the strength in the macro. Additionally, it was observed that the confinement effect of the geocell significantly reduced the fabric and force anisotropy of the granular soil, promoting consistent vertical alignment of force chains.
