Combining the axisymmetric consolidation model and equal strain assumption, the governing equation was derived for the consolidation of clayey subsoil reinforced by soil-cement column. By modifying the boundary condition of the interface between the improved layer and underlying layer on seepage and pore-water pressure, the analytical solution of consolidation of soft ground improved by floating soil-cement column was developed under depth-dependent ramp load. The results of the parameter analysis of consolidation behavior show that the consolidation rate is closely related with the depth replacement ratio by the column and the permeability of upper layer. The influence of column-soil constrained modulus ratio and radius ratio of the influence zone to the column on consolidation is also affected by depth replacement ratio. The column-soil total stress ratio increases with time and approaches the final value accompanied with the dissipation of excess pore water pressure.展开更多

In order to investigate the influence of three key molar ratios （n（SiO2）/n（Al2O3）, n（K2O）/n（Al2O3） and n（H2O）/n（K2O））, a total of nine potassium poly-sialate-disiloxo （K-PSDS） geopolymeric cement matri...In order to investigate the influence of three key molar ratios （n（SiO2）/n（Al2O3）, n（K2O）/n（Al2O3） and n（H2O）/n（K2O））, a total of nine potassium poly-sialate-disiloxo （K-PSDS） geopolymeric cement matrices were designed according to orthogonal design principle. Subsequently, XRD, ESEM-EDXA and MAS-NMR techniques were employed to further characterize the microstructure of the most fully reacted geopolymeric cement matrix. The experimental results show that n（K2O）/n（Al2O3） has the most significant effect on compressive strength amongst the three ratios. The highest compressive strength （20.1 MPa） can be achieved when n（SiO2）/n（Al2O3）=6.5, n（K2O）/n（Al2O3）=0.8 and n（HEO）/n（K2O）=10.0. The FTIR spectra of nine PSDS geopolymeric cement matrices also indicate that geopolymeric cement matrix with the highest strength is the most fully reacted one and possesses the largest amount of geopolymeric cement products. The microscopic analysis reveals that PSDS geopolymeric cement matrix possesses structural characteristics similar to gel substances in having a wide range of Si endowments, but predominantly the framework molecular chains of Si partially replaced by 4-coordinated Al tetrahedral.展开更多
