LIU Maojun, and XU Guoping
Plant fibers have the characteristics of light weight, high specific strength and high elongation at break, which can improve the shortcomings of concrete such as easy cracking, low tensile strength and brittle damage. At the same time, plant fibers can improve the thermal insulation properties and durability of concrePlant fibers have the characteristics of light weight, high specific strength and high elongation at break, which can improve the shortcomings of concrete such as easy cracking, low tensile strength and brittle damage. At the same time, plant fibers can improve the thermal insulation properties and durability of concrete. First of all, the chemical composition and mechanical characteristics of various commonly used plant fibers were analyzed, and the modification methods of plant fibers were also discussed. Then, the researches of domestic and foreign scholars on mechanical properties, hydration characteristics, thermal insulation properties and other properties of plant fiber reinforced concrete were analyzed and summarized in detail. And the following conclusions are drawn: when using plant fibers to enhance the strength of concrete, the long fiber lay-flat method has the best effect on the enhancement of tensile strength, while the short fiber in-mixing method has a wider range of applications, and at the same time, a variety of factors, such as fiber length, fiber content, and water-cement ratio, affect the mechanical properties of concrete; plant fibers can retard the release of heat of hydration by changing the hydration characteristics of cement, thus enhancing the crack resistance of mass concrete; plant fibers can improve the thermal insulation properties and durability of concrete, and reduce the cracking of concrete through the endotrophic effect of plant fibers on concrete..

Synergistic Influence Mechanism of Fluorine, Phosphate and Heavy Metal Ions Co-Doping on Formation and Hydration of Tricalcium Silicate
DU Huan, DA Yongqi, HE Tingshu, and HAO Jianheng
Fluorinated sludge, as the main byproduct of refined production in the semiconductor industry, is a hazardous solid waste. In the process of co-treating fluorine-containing sludge in cement kilns, the fluorine, phosphate, and various heavy metal ions contained in the fluorinated sludge will inevitably be introduced intFluorinated sludge, as the main byproduct of refined production in the semiconductor industry, is a hazardous solid waste. In the process of co-treating fluorine-containing sludge in cement kilns, the fluorine, phosphate, and various heavy metal ions contained in the fluorinated sludge will inevitably be introduced into the cement raw material at the same time. These ions will significantly affect and change the calcination process and properties of cement raw material minerals. However, there are few studies on the impact of their coexistence on the properties of cement clinker. Therefore, this paper systematically studied the synergistic influence mechanism of fluorine, phosphate, and heavy metal ions co-doping on the calcination process, microstructure, and hydration characteristics of tricalcium silicate (C3S). The results show that compared with the single doping of phosphorus, the co-doping of phosphate and heavy metal ions is not conducive to the firing of C3S, while the co-doping of fluorine, phosphate, and heavy metal ions has a significant synergistic promoting effect on the firing of C3S, while significantly improving the symmetry of C3S crystal structure, resulting in more defects of different types on the surface of C3S minerals. Compared with the single doping of phosphorus, the co-doping of phosphate and heavy metal ions is beneficial for improving the initial and later hydration rates of C3S, reducing the aspect ratio of rod-shaped hydrated calcium silicate (C-S-H). The effect of co-doping of fluorine, phosphate, and heavy metal ions on the hydration performance of C3S depends on the doping ratio of each ion. However, as the doping amount of each ion increases, the acceleration period of C3S hydration will be continuously delayed, and the co-doping of the three ions will promote the increase of the aspect ratio of rod-shaped C-S-H..

In order to clarify the debonding characteristics of graphene/graphene oxide, the debonding The debonding behavior of graphene/graphene oxide on calcium silicate hydrate substrate directly affects the performance of gelling composites, however it is difficult to achieve the debonding effect in traditional experiments. In order to clarify the debonding characteristics of graphene/graphene oxide, the debonding behavior of graphene/graphene oxide on calcium silicate hydrate substrate at nanoscale by molecular dynamics method was studied. The results show that the bonding properties of graphene/graphene oxide decrease with the increase of temperature, compared with graphene, the change of temperature has a greater effect on the bonding properties of graphene oxide. Among graphene oxide, epoxy-based graphene oxide is least affected by the change of temperature. The main factors affecting the bonding properties are the van der Waals forces and Coulomb interactions between graphene/graphene oxide and calcium silicate hydrate. High concentration and functional groups at the edge can significantly enhance bonding properties, and the effect of different functional groups on enhancing bonding properties is carboxyl group, hydroxyl group and epoxy group..

The results show that TIPA, modified alcohol amine all show retarding properties, and CSO has the strongest retarding property. In terms of strength, TIPA improves the strength development of cement paste during the test age, and CSM improves the strength development of cement paste for 7 ～ 28 d, and the improvement effect is better than that of TIPA, CSN and CSO have negative effects on strength. In terms of mechanism, the addition of CSM increases the hydration degree of cement mineral phase, optimizes the hydration rate, improves the microstructure of hydration products, promotes the interlacing of C-S-H, Ca(OH)2 and ettringite, and improves the compactness of paste. TIPA promotes the hydration of C4AF. CSN and CSO promote the hydration of C3S and C4AF, but the rapid hydration of mineral phase and compact microstructure can not achieve coordination. In terms of modification measures, compared with amino and hydroxyl modification, TIPA molecular weight modification is more helpful to improve cement hydration process, product distribution structure and promote the development of cement paste strength..

The effects of sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) at low replacement rate (from 2.5% to 7.5% of cement mass) on the early hydration The prefabricated construction has rapidly transformed the building industry, and achieveing the swift demolding of component is fundamental for the rapid development of prefabricated industry. The effects of sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) at low replacement rate (from 2.5% to 7.5% of cement mass) on the early hydration and mechanical properties of Portland cement were studied. Setting time, compressive strength, hydration heat, XRD, TG, and SEM were used to expose to the behind mechanism, providing solutions for the rapid demolding of prefabricated component. The result show that the incorporation of CSA can shorten the setting time of Portland cement, enhance early hydration, and improve early mechanical properties. With the increase of the CSA mass fraction from 2.5% to 7.5%, the initial setting time reduces by 30%, 43% and 49% respectively, and the final setting time by 24%, 40% and 46%, respectively. 5% mass fraction of CSA increases the 12 h compressive strength from 5.2 MPa to 12.8 MPa, an increase of 169%. Additionally, CSA also improves the later-stage mechanical properties of the system..

CAO Jing, ZHANG Xingwen, LEI Shuyu, LI Yuhong, and CHENG Yun

The influence of UFC on the permeability of cement-soil samples was investigated through osmotic pressure tests and X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments. Osmotic pressure tests results indicate that, under constant CCS dosage, the permeability coefficient k of specimens decreases with increasing UFC mass fraction, with a significant attenuation of the decreasing trend observed when the UFC mass fraction exceeds 12%. For CCS with a UFC mass fraction of 12%, k decreases with increasing CCS dosage, and the declining trend is notably attenuated when the dosage exceeds 25%. XRD results indicate that the diffraction peak intensity of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in the samples increases with both the increase in the UFC mass fraction and the curing time. Compared to OPC, CCS achieves superior solidification efficiency with a reduced cement dosage, facilitating the attainment of carbon reduction objectives..

A total of 180 polypropylene fiber-reinforced ceramsite concrete specimens were prepared, and cube compressive test, splitting tensile test, axial compressive test and elastic modulus test were carried out. The results show that polypropylene fiber can effectively improve the splitting tensile strength and tension-compression ratio of ceramsite concrete, and has little effect on compressive strength and elastic modulus. Based on the experimental results, the conversion relationship model between splitting tensile strength and cube compressive strength, axial compressive strength and cube compressive strength, and the numerical model of elastic modulus of polypropylene fiber-reinforced ceramsite concrete were proposed..

DING Dawei, GUO Zihan, ZHANG Wei, ZHANG Xiuxin, MA Yitong, WANG Xinpeng, and HOU Dongshuai
In order to investigate the effects of fly ash and steel fiber on the abrasion resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), this paper performed macroscopic mechanical test, underwater abrasion resistance test and microscopic characterization such as SEM and MIP to investigate the effects of fly ash and steel In order to investigate the effects of fly ash and steel fiber on the abrasion resistance of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), this paper performed macroscopic mechanical test, underwater abrasion resistance test and microscopic characterization such as SEM and MIP to investigate the effects of fly ash and steel fiber on the workability, mechanical properties, microstructure, and abrasion resistance of UHPC. The results show that the replacement of cement by fly ash delays the emergence of hydration peak by about 3 h, and the cumulative heat flow at 3 d is reduced by 18%, significantly improving the workability of UHPC. The incorporation of fly ash reduces the mechanical properties of UHPC in the early stage and has no effect on the mechanical properties in the later stage. The incorporation of steel fiber improves the flexural strength and compressive strength of UHPC. The flexural strength and compressive strength are increased by 82% and 47% respectively due to the composite mixing of steel fiber and fly ash under steam curing. The addition of fly ash has little effect on the abrasion resistance of UHPC, while the addition of steel fiber improves the abrasion resistance of UHPC, and the composite mixing of steel fiber and fly ash increases the abrasion resistance of UHPC by 58%. The compressive strength and abrasion resistance strength of UHPC show a significant positive correlation. The incorporation of fly ash reduces the most available pore size, porosity and capillary pore content, making the internal structure of matrix more uniform and denser..

LI Xiangxiang, JIN Zuquan, and PANG Bo

The corrosion behavior of steel reinforcement in different environments was studied. The real-time strain monitoThe corrosion of steel reinforcement in underground engineering concrete, such as that found in coastal subways, is susceptible to occurring under the combined influences of stray current and corrosion ions. The corrosion behavior of steel reinforcement in different environments was studied. The real-time strain monitoring, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and microscopic analysis were employed for both ordinary Portland cement (OPC) concrete and alkali-activated slag (AAS) concrete. The results show that the steel reinforcement in concrete undergoes pitting corrosion. The chemical composition of corrosion products formed in the steel reinforcement appears to be unaffected by the type of concrete or the presence of corrosion ions. Furthermore, the corrosion rate observed in AAS concrete is found to be lower than that in OPC. Additionally, the time of deactivation of steel reinforcement and concrete rust expansion cracking is relatively logging behind. As the concentration of sulfate ions in saline soil increases, the rust cracking time and rust cracking force of steel reinforcement concrete increase first and then decrease. This suggests that sulfate ions have a mitigating effect on the corrosion rate of steel reinforcement induced by chloride salts..

WAN Xiaomei, WANG Boshi, SUN Zhongtao, and ZHANG Dongfang
To explore formation and failure mechanism of rebar passivation film in the liquid-phase environment of alkali-activated slag (AAS) system, AAS cementitious material systems with different mixing designs were prepared. The time-dependent evolution of the pH value of AAS real pore solution was studied in various factorsTo explore formation and failure mechanism of rebar passivation film in the liquid-phase environment of alkali-activated slag (AAS) system, AAS cementitious material systems with different mixing designs were prepared. The time-dependent evolution of the pH value of AAS real pore solution was studied in various factors such as different types of activator, alkali equivalent, water-glass modulus, fly ash addition, and curing time. In addition, the generation time, composition, thickness, and critical chloride threshold of rebar passivation film in simulated pore solution were monitored and analyzed over time. The results show that the pH value of AAS real pore solution decreases with the increase of curing time, with pH values of all samples remaining above 12.8 at 28 d. The increase in pH value in the simulated pore solution reduces the formation time of rebar passivation film, increases its thickness, and enhances its resistance to chloride ion erosion. The characteristic of AAS real pore solution having a higher pH value can provide a more favorable liquid phase environment for the stable existence of rebar passivation film, thereby improving the long-term performance of reinforced concrete structures..

The results show that compared with concrete without anti-corrosion coating/treating, anti-corrosion coating/treating concrete using silane and polyurethane coating shows a decrease in compressive strength fc after erosion in marine tidal areas, and concrete fc gradually decreases with the increase of curing age tc. Anti-corrosion coating/treating can effectively improve the long-term chloride ion erosion resistance of marine cast-in-place concrete, and with the increase of curing age tc, the effects of anti-corrosion coating/treating on reducing the surface chloride ion content Cs and apparent chloride ion diffusion coefficient Da of concrete becomes more significant. Taking into account the development of mechanical properties of cast-in-place concrete in the marine tidal zone environment and the effectiveness of anti-corrosion coating/treating measures, it is recommended to use silane and polyurethane coatings for coating with a curing age of not less than 5 and 10 d, respectively..

JIA Yi, LIU Pengzeng, LIU Qiqian, WANG Zihao, and SONG Haobo
In order to study the difference of bearing capacity between polypropylene fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite (PP-ECC) bridge pier and ordinary concrete bridge pier under compressive-bending load, the flexural performance of six PP-ECC bridge piers and two ordinary concrete bridge piers were studied by In order to study the difference of bearing capacity between polypropylene fiber reinforced engineered cementitious composite (PP-ECC) bridge pier and ordinary concrete bridge pier under compressive-bending load, the flexural performance of six PP-ECC bridge piers and two ordinary concrete bridge piers were studied by quasi-static test. Combined with the failure process of PP-ECC bridge pier, the characteristic points of compressive-bending failure of PP-ECC bridge pier were determined. Then, based on the simplified constitutive model of PP-ECC material, the theoretical cracking, yield and ultimate load formulas of PP-ECC bridge pier were derived. The characteristic parameters of the simplified PP-ECC constitutive model were determined by uniaxial tensile and uniaxial compression tests of PP-ECC materials. The calculation results were verified by the experimental results, and the differences of flexural bearing capacity and maximum deformation of piers under different axial compression ratios and PP-ECC zone heights were compared. The results show that after PP-ECC bridge pier is cracked, PP-ECC in the tensile zone still work, and cooperates with the tensile steel bar to participate in the section force. When PP-ECC bridge pier reaches the ultimate load, the crack develops steadily, and there is no large area of concrete spalling in the protective layer of ordinary concrete pier. The maximum deformation of PP-ECC bridge piers under ultimate load are larger than that of ordinary concrete piers, and the increase of axial compression ratio will reduce the deformation capacity of piers. Increasing the height of PP-ECC zone at a higher axial compression ratio, the flexural capacity of the pier increases by 8.8%. When using the simplified constitutive model to calculate the flexural bearing capacity of PP-ECC bridge pier feature points, the calculation accuracy reaches 0.86 ～ 1.13, and the variance analysis value is small, which has good calculation accuracy..

In this study, an automatic machine learning (AutoML) technology was proposed to predict compressive strength of UHPC, and shapley additiveex planations (SHAP) was introduced to explain the AutoML model. The integration of AutoML and SHAP offered synergistic benefits, facilitating the development of a precise, efficient, and comprehensively interpretable model. Results demonstrate that AutoML model is automatically built with better accuracy and robustness than the base model. SHAP provides a global explanation, a single sample explanation, and a feature dependence explanation of characterization factors, which explains mechanism of the effect of each characterization factor on compressive strength. SHAP contributes to the understanding of mechanism of UHPC compressive strength development and the importance of characteristic factors, and can provide assistance in the design and application of UHPC..

Firstly, a database with a large amount of HPC proportion data and performance test information was constructed. Secondly, three machine learning algorithms, XGBoost, MLP and RF algorithm, were used to establish the nonlinear mapping relationship between compressive strength of concrete and the amount of material used, and the model with the best performance was selected as the strength objective function and constraints in the multi-objective optimization intelligent. Then, the Pareto optimal predicate was solved by establishing the mathematical model with the objectives of compressive strength, economy, and environmental protection, and the Pareto optimal predicate was solved by using the NSGA-II algorithm. Lastly, the unique optimal solution was obtained by combining with the ideal-point method. The proposed method was validated by practical engineering examples, and the results show that the proposed multi-objective intelligent optimization design method of high-performance concrete proportion takes into full consideration of interactions between variables, greatly reduces the number of tests, significantly improves the efficiency of the proportion design, and can provide a reference for the multi-objective intelligent proportion optimization design of HPC..

At present, the negative storage and landfill are still the main treatment methods, which does not only occupy a large amount of land resources, but also cause serious environmental pollution. Therefore, laWith the rapid development of China’s mineral industry, the emission of iron tailings sand has increased sharply. At present, the negative storage and landfill are still the main treatment methods, which does not only occupy a large amount of land resources, but also cause serious environmental pollution. Therefore, large-scale consumption of iron tailings sand is imminent. Iron tailings sand is a kind of waste discharged after the ‘useful part’ of iron ore is selected by grinding, flotation or magnetic separation under a certain condition. Compared with natural fine aggregate, the particle is finer, angular and more solid, which could be widely used in various practical projects. Among them, the regional differences of iron tailings, raw ore composition, grade, particle size and mining beneficiation refining process have a greater impact on the physical and chemical properties. As an inert material, different activation methods could be conducted to improve the activity of iron tailings sand, whereas, the composite activation is the most effective technology. In this paper, the utilization of building materials of iron tailings sand at home and abroad and its application in other fields are reviewed. The influence of concrete prepared by iron tailings sand on mechanical properties and durability is summarized. The key properties of the application in road functional materials are discussed. The application status of iron tailings sand-based bricks is sorted out. The feasibility of using it to prepare geopolymer is evaluated. Its advantages in the preparation of mesoporous molecular sieves and the improvement of expansive soil are discussed..

Firstly, applying the Dinger-Funk close-packing theory, the optimized sand rate is 42%, the optimized desert sand mass replacement ratio is 10%, 20% and 30%, the concrete aggregate particle gradation is improved, the fineness modulus of mixed fine aggregate is reduced from 3.27 to 2.92, 2.81 and 2.71, and the effective porosity is reduced from 2.50% to 1.65%, 1.45% and 1.51%, respectively. Secondly, the orthogonal test method was used to study the effects of water-cement ratio, desert sand mass replacement ratio, and the volume dosage of polyvinyl alcohol fiber on the workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete. The results show that, with the increase of desert sand mass replacement ratio and fiber dosage, the workability of concrete firstly increase and then decrease, and the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength show the trend of firstly increasing and then decreasing. Considering the test results of the workability and mechanical properties, the optimal mix proportion of C30 polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced desert sand concrete is determined to be 0.45 water-cement ratio, 20% of desert sand mass replacement ratio, and 0.10% of polyvinyl alcohol fiber volume dosage..

The prediction model was established by taking ordinary Portland cement, calcined clay and limestone powder as variable factors, To explore the optimal ratio of limestone powder and calcined clay in the limestone calcined clay composite cementitious material system, the response surface method was adopted to optimize. The prediction model was established by taking ordinary Portland cement, calcined clay and limestone powder as variable factors, and 28 d compressive strength and 28 d flexural strength of cement mortar as response variable. Mechanical properties were tested, and the regression model between the proportion of mineral admixture compounding and the mechanical properties was established.

Calcined clay accounts for 30.5%, and limestone powder accounts for 14.5%. The predicted values of 28 d compressive strength of system are 63.26, 58.57 and 48.10 MPa, respectively, while the measured values are 63.74, 57.21 and 47.02 MPa, respectively. The absolute relative errors between the predicted and measured values are less than 5%. It provides a new solution idea and test basis for the optimal proportioning problem of limestone calcined clay composite cementitious material system..

LIU Chao, CAI Jianyun, ZHU Chao, and YAO Yizhou
In order to promote the large-scale utilization of coal gangue in coal mine areas under high sulfate environment, this article prepared shotcrete with different coal gangue substitution rates, and studied the influence law of coal gangue on the sulfate attack resistance of shotcrete under the action of dry-wet cycles. In order to promote the large-scale utilization of coal gangue in coal mine areas under high sulfate environment, this article prepared shotcrete with different coal gangue substitution rates, and studied the influence law of coal gangue on the sulfate attack resistance of shotcrete under the action of dry-wet cycles. The appearance, mass loss rate, relative dynamic elastic modulus, relative compressive strength, sulfate ion distribution evolution and micromorphology changes before and after erosion were studied, and the influence mechanism of coal gangue on the sulfate attack resistance of shotcrete was obtained. The results show that under the action of sulfate dry-wet cycles, the deterioration process of coal gangue shotcrete (CGS) is divided into three stages: strengthening stage, initial damage and macroscopic damage. The deterioration degree of CGS is synergistically affected by the number of dry-wet cycles and the substitution rate of coal gangue. The sulfate resistance of CGS increases at a substitution rate of 25% (mass fraction). When the substitution rate exceeds 25%, the sulfate attack resistance of CGS decreases with the increase of substitution rate. The research results provide important theoretical support for the application of CGS structures in mines..

DUAN Liwei, LUO Anbang, CHEN Yinghao, WANG Dehui, and LUO Zhengdong
In order to clarify the optimal liquid-solid ratio (L/S) values for the activation of metakaolin at different concentrations of phosphoric acid solution, five sets of phosphoric acid solution of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mol·L-1 were set up, and four L/S values of 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 were used for preparation of metakaolIn order to clarify the optimal liquid-solid ratio (L/S) values for the activation of metakaolin at different concentrations of phosphoric acid solution, five sets of phosphoric acid solution of 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 mol·L-1 were set up, and four L/S values of 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 were used for preparation of metakaolin-phosphoric acid based geopolymer (MPAG). The 7 and 28 d compressive and flexural strengths of MPAG were used as the evaluation indexes to investigate the effects of above preset variables on its mechanical properties. The compressive strength of samples corresponding to the optimal L/S value concentration of each group after sulfate erosion were further investigated. Finally, the phase composition and microscopic morphology of MPAG were characterized and analyzed. The results show that MPAG is mainly composed of an amorphous aluminum phosphate phase. Greater compressive strength can be obtained by using L/S value of 0.6 when the concentration of phosphoric acid solution is 4 ～ 6 mol·L-1, and when the concentration increase to 7 ～ 8 mol·L-1, the recommended of L/S value is 0.7. MPAG exhibits good sulfate resistance, with a compressive strength retention rate of 84% to 93% after 28 d immersion. The samples prepared with 6 mol·L-1 phosphoric acid under any L/S value achieved the maximum flexural strength for that L/S value. The 28 d maximum flexural strength is 6.80 MPa when L/S value is 0.6. The results of this study can provide references for the preparation and application of MPAG..

The influences of activation temperature and activation time on alkaline hydrothermal activation effect have been studied. X-ray diffraction technology, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging analysis, and scanning electron microscopy test were used to characterize the performance of activated sulfur tailings and sulfur tailings-based geopolymers. The results show that when the sulfur tailings are activated at 200 ℃ for 2.0 h, the prepared geopolymer obtains the highest 3 and 28 d compressive strength, which are 15.5 and 22.1 MPa, respectively. Alkaline hydrothermal activation can effectively destroy the crystalline phase in sulfur tailings, promote the release of active silica and aluminum. More hydration product gel is formed in the gel system to improve the pore structure of geopolymer, thus improving the compressive strength of sulfur tailings-based geopolymers. The above experimental results indicate that alkaline hydrothermal activation is a method that can effectively improve the activity of sulfur tailings..

ZHU Juntao, ZHANG Feilong, LI Ke, HE Wei, and LI Ming
In order to solve the cost and environmental pollution problems caused by the transportation and stacking of shield tunneling muck, and to achieve the goal of resource reutilization of solid waste, a study was conducted based on a section of the Zhengzhou Metro Line 10 shield tunneling project. Excavated muck was used In order to solve the cost and environmental pollution problems caused by the transportation and stacking of shield tunneling muck, and to achieve the goal of resource reutilization of solid waste, a study was conducted based on a section of the Zhengzhou Metro Line 10 shield tunneling project. Excavated muck was used to replace sand, fly ash, and bentonite, while rice husk ash (RHA) was used to partially replace cement in the preparation of micro expansion synchronous grouting material. The effects of RHA content, muck particle size, water-binder ratio, and the type and content of expansion agents on the working and mechanical properties of synchronous grouting material were investigated. The results indicate that RHA significantly affects the slurry consistency and setting time, and higher RHA content leads to lower slurry consistency and shorter setting time. When RHA content is 25% (based on mass ratio of cement), the slurry consistency decreases by 27.5% and the setting time shortens by 39.9%. As RHA content increases, the compressive strength of slurry decreases first and then increases. As the particle size of muck increases, the slurry consistency and setting time decrease. Quicklime powder and high soundless static cracking agent (HSCA) as expansion agents reduce slurry consistency but effectively improve setting time and compressive strength. When HSCA mass fraction exceeds 3%, the expansion effect of HSCA is superior to that of quicklime powder. The tests determine that a water-binder ratio of 2.6, RHA content of 25%, adding larger particle size of muck, and the appropriate addition of expansion agents collectively meet all engineering requirements for slurry indicators, thereby providing a novel approach for the reutilization of shield tunneling muck and rice husk ash..

For this reason, indoor ratio optimization experiments were conducted using liquid-solid ratio, water glass content, and water glass modulus as experimental factors. A multivariate second-order response surface regression model was constructed for compressive strength, flowability, and final setting time, and the influences of single factor and its interaction on various grouting performance indicators were obtained through variance analysis. The degree of influence of experimental factors on grouting performance indicators is as follows: liquid-solid ratio, water glass content, and water glass modulus. The interaction between liquid-solid ratio and water glass content has a significant impact on compressive strength, while the interaction between the other two factors has no significant impact on grouting performance indicators. Using the analytic hierarchy process and expert assignment method to obtain the relative weights of various grouting performance indicators, a multi-objective satisfaction function was constructed to optimize the ratio of slag-fly ash geopolymer grouting materials. Based on this, SEM testing was conducted on the slurry stone body with the best comprehensive ratio of grouting performance indicators. The results show that a small number of spherical unreacted fly ash particles can still be observed in the system, the slag particles and cement particles are basically fully reacted, and the oligomeric gel-like reaction products are rearranged and extended by deposition, and cross-lap with each other to form a dense and complete spatial network-like structure..

The leaching behavior in different pH leaching solutions and long-term leaching features of gold tailings concrete were studied. A kinetic model was used to predict the total amount of heavy metal leaching that will occur in next thirty years. The results reveal that the levels of Ba, Cd, Cr, Pb, Mn and Cu in GTs exceed the natural levels of these elements found in Chinese soil. Significantly, the leaching of Ba, Cd, Pb, Mn and Cu is more evident. GTs content shows a positive correlation with the leaching amount of heavy metals, and the cumulative leaching amount of heavy metals drops dramatically after 16 d. Based on 30 years leaching amount prediction, the leaching amount of Pb, Cu and Ba is 2 ～ 3 mg/L, while the leaching amount of Cd, Cr and Mn is less than 1 mg/L. These findings indicate that the GTs is sufficiently cured in concrete, thereby reducing the risk of long-term leaching of heavy metals..

The full-field displacement and strain of specimen surfaces were monitored with the help of digital image correlation (DIC) method, and the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone between polypropylene fibers and recycled coarse aggregates was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The test results show that the mechanical properties of HFR-RCAC decreases with the increase of the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate, and the incorporation of fibers can compensate for the loss of strength caused by the recycled coarse aggregate, which can significantly improve its mechanical properties. The full-field strain evolution of the compressive damage of specimen was obtained by DIC method, and the dynamic evolution characteristics of macro- and microscopic cracks on the surface of specimen were analyzed based on the evolutionary process of maximum principal strains, and the enhancement of concrete by HF is mainly manifested in the form of hindering the expansion of macro cracks. The microstructural changes in the transition zone of polypropylene fiber-cement matrix interface were characterized by SEM, which explains changes in the mechanical properties of HFR-RCAC as well as the fiber-modified reinforcing mechanism from a microscopic point of view..

The growth law of mechanical strength of cement stabilized macadam recycled aggregate (CSMRA) was investigated under the optimal dosage, a prediction model of mechanical strength of CSMRA was proposed, and the reliability of prediction was verified. The results show that the compressive strength of CSMRA increases and then decreases with the increase of recycled fine aggregate dosage, decreases with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate dosage, and the maximum dosage of recycled aggregate is 70% (mass fraction). The correlation coefficient of established mechanical strength growth equation and prediction model is more than 0.98, and the error between predicted value and measured value is no more than 14.0%. This indicates that the model can accurately predict the mechanical strength of CSMRA at other ages after determining cement dosage, aggregate type, mineral proportion and 7 d strength..

This article used alkali activation technology to prepare chelated fly ash mineralAfter the chelation and solidification of municipal solid waste incineration fly ash, there are still certain environmental hazards. Landfilling will occupy a large amount of land, and reusing can alleviate the pressure on landfill site. This article used alkali activation technology to prepare chelated fly ash mineral powder based alkali-activated cementitious material. In addition to exploring the feasibility of alkali-activated chelated fly ash, the influence of calcium oxide content on improving the performance of cementitious material was also explored. The results show that the compressive strength of solidified body is highest when calcium oxide content is 4% (mass fraction), while the compressive strength of solidified body slowly decreases when calcium oxide content exceedes 4%. The addition of calcium oxide promotes the formation of hydration products of C-S-H gel and significantly improves the compressive strength of material. Meanwhile, through leaching tests, it is found that the heavy metal leaching concentration of solidified body doped with calcium oxide is lower than that of solidified body without calcium oxide, and meets the limit values specified in “Standard for pollution control on the landfill site of municipal solid waste” (GB 16889—2008)..

The state of HA-Al2O3 slurry is adjusted by the addition of dispersant, photoinitiator, and photoabsorbent to alleviate the severe scattering effect caused by the refractive index mismatch between HA powder, Al2O3 powder, and photosensitive resin. In this study, the effects of the type and content of photoinitiator and dispersant on the slurry were explored. The rheological and curing properties of the slurry are first improved and then weakened with the addition of both, and the optimal dosages of photoinitiator and dispersant are 0.5% and 4% (mass fraction), respectively. The effects of two light absorbers, graphite and methyl yellow, on improving the printing accuracy were compared. Although graphite improves the printing accuracy and rheology of the slurry, it reduces the printing quality, so the dosage of 5.0×10-5 methyl yellow is determined, and finally HA-Al2O3 slurries suitable for high precision printing are obtained..

Due to serious agglomeration and high content of sodium and potassium impurities in domestic calcined Al2O3 powder, the preparation of Al2O3 ceramicsAl2O3 ceramics are the most widely used structural ceramics because of excellent mechanical properties, acid and alkali corrosion resistance and high quality-price-ratio. Due to serious agglomeration and high content of sodium and potassium impurities in domestic calcined Al2O3 powder, the preparation of Al2O3 ceramics with high performance relies heavily on imported powder. In this work, the Al2O3 powder produced by a domestic company was firstly disaggregated using ball milling, and the median particle size D50 of the powder was reduced from 1.88 μm to 0.90 μm. Afterwards, the impurity content in the powder was reduced by washing with water, and the Na content was reduced from 140×10-6 to 60×10-6, which was close to the level of the same grade powder abroad. Finally, Al2O3 ceramic green bodies were prepared by spontaneous coagulation casting using MgO and MgAl2O4 as sintering aids. It is found that the addition of MgO increases the slurry viscosity, while MgAl2O4 does not affect that, and both can effectively reduce the sintering temperature and inhibit the grain growth. And the average grain size is reduced from 41.10 μm to 10.64 μm, which improves the mechanical properties of Al2O3 ceramics. Through disaggregation and purification, the domestic Al2O3 powder can reach the same level as the Japanese Sumitomo Al2O3 powder with the best performance in the same grade..

Firstly, the finite element analysis software ANSYS Workbench was used to simulate the thermal stress of diamond thin films during the cooling process, and the effect of film thickness on thermal stress was studied. Then through the microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD), diamond thin films of varying thicknesses were deposited on aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramics substrates. The cooling duration was manipulated and annealing treatments were conducted. Characterization analyses were finally carried out using SEM and Raman spectroscopy. The simulation shows that after the cooling process, the distribution of thermal stress is irregular, with the maximum principal stress being tensile stress and the minimum principal stress being compressive stress. As the thickness of diamond thin films increases, the maximum principal stress shows an ascending trend, reaching a peak value of 373 MPa when the film thickness is 200 μm, which is close to the normal fracture strength range of diamond thin films (400 ～ 700 MPa). Conversely, the minimum principal stress and shear stress exhibit a decline as the film thickness increases. Raman characterization indicates that the surface of the diamond thin films has residual compressive stress. This residual stress decreases with increasing film thickness and cooling duration. After in-situ annealing at 600 ℃ in a hydrogen atmosphere, the stress-induced distortion in the films is alleviated, and there is a noticeable enhancement in the intensity of the diamond phase Raman peak..

These materials stand out for their excellent chemical durability, resilience against radiation-induced deterioration, high refractive indices, and superior light transmission characteristics. In this paper, the initial sections are delved into the shielding mechanisms for neutron and gamma-ray radiation, employing Monte Carlo simulations to elucidate the design principles and development strategies of these shielding materials. It is complemented by a comprehensive review of the current state of research in glass-based shielding materials. Given the environmental and health concerns associated with lead-based glasses, lead glass is being abandoned. The paper highlights the predominance of silicate, borate, and borosilicate glasses in the industry. It is demonstrated that the addition of heavy metal oxides (such as Bi2O3 and BaO) and rare earth elements (like La and Gd) to the glass matrix can significantly increase the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), reduce the half-value layer (HLV), and thereby enhance shielding effectiveness. Notably, the integration of these dopants may negatively impact the mechanical properties of materials. This paper also includes a comparison of glass-based shielding materials with alternative shielding solutions. Enhancing the multifaceted performance of glass-based shielding materials, alongside the advancement of eco-friendly and smart shielding solutions, will constitute a pivotal area of future research..

The effect of ZnO partially substitution for Li2O on the microstructure, sintering behavior, crystallization behavior and properties of LAS glass-ceramics was investigated. The results show that the substitution of ZnO for Li2O reduces the initial crystallization temperature of LAS glass-ceramics, leading to significant amount of Li2Al2Si3O10 phase precipitating out after holding at 800 ℃ for 10 min, which hinders the sintering shrinkage of glass. In contrast, the LAS glass-ceramics without ZnO exhibits slower crystallization at 800 ℃, which is beneficial for sintering densification process. When the sintering temperature is 1 100 ℃, the main crystalline phase present in glass-ceramics is identified as β-spodumene.

The effect of CuO content on the crystallization behavior, crystal type, micromorphology and microwave dielectric properties of MAS glass-ceramics was studied. The results show that as the CuO content increases from 0% to 1.00%, substituting for MgO, the glass transition temperature decreases. Additionally, the precipitation peak temperatures also show a decreasing trend, while the Avrami index n gradually increases. The primary crystalline phase in glass-ceramics is α-cordierite. The inclusion of CuO facilitates the transformation of μ-cordierite to α-cordierite at lower temperatures and reduces the thermal expansion coefficient. With the increase of CuO content, the dielectric constant of glass-ceramics increases first and then decreases, while the dielectric loss decreases first and then increases.

Due to the obvious thermal effect when the nanosecond laser acts on the glass, it will cause glass edge chipping, white spots on the side wall surface, surface micro cracks and voids and other defect behaviors. Focusing on this problem, the single-factor experimental method was used to explore 532 nm laser hole cutting defect behavior. The results show that the laser pulse frequency is the key factor affecting the defect shape. Improper pulse frequency and pulse energy will seriously increase the glass edge chipping and the surface roughness of hole wall, and also produce uneven regional white spots. Increasing the scanning speed will reduce the surface roughness of hole wall. Smaller spiral overlap rate will cause the corrugated surface morphology of glass hole wall. When the hole wall quality is poor, the micro cracks and voids are more obvious..

In order to gain a deeper understanding of the basic theory of regulating whiskers, this paper summarises the progress of research on the effects of different types and concentrations of soluble cations in desulfurization gypsum on the whisker preparation. The low concentration of Na+ has a small effect on the calcium sulfate hemihydrate whiskers and barely affects the morphology and surface smoothness of the whiskers. The content of K+ is suitable to be 3% (mass fraction) or below, and the higher content has a detrimental effect on the growth of calcium sulfate hemihydrate whiskers. Mg2+ makes the whisker surface more homogeneous and crystalline. And the trace amount of selective adsorption of Al3+ has no effect on the whisker length-to-diameter ratio. Similar to K+, Fe3+ also has the optimal concentration, which is lower than 2 mmol/L. Unlike the cations mentioned above, Cu2+ is not from the raw material, but is an additional ion introduced in the doping of the appropriate amount of Cu2+ is conducive to the formation of whiskers with a smooth and uniform surface..

In comparison to traditional organic adhesives, inorganic adhesives exhibit unique advantages in the nuclear field due to their excellent high-temperature stability, radiation resistance, weather resistance, and cost-effectiveness. This paper firstly provides an overview of the composition, structure, classification, and basic characteristics of inorganic adhesives, followed by a detailed exploration of the bonding mechanisms, modification strategies, and performance enhancement methods of phosphate inorganic adhesives and silicate inorganic adhesives. Research indicates that by optimizing fillers, introducing cross-linking agents, and adjusting curing agents, the high-temperature resistance of inorganic adhesives can be effectively improved. Similarly, significant enhancements in radiation resistance can be achieved through adjustments in curing processes, interfacial optimization, and the introduction of antioxidants. Additionally, innovative applications of inorganic adhesives such as preloading techniques, control of curing temperature, and special treatment of bonding interfaces are discussed. This study provides new perspectives and strategic references for inorganic adhesives application in nuclear power system, thereby facilitating the development of adhesive technology in the field of nuclear power..
