    Measuring the Tensile Strength Degradations of Mineral Grain Interfaces (MGIs) in the Granite After Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) Coupling

    Mengyi Li1, Zhijun Wu1,*

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.25, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2023, DOI:10.32604/icces.2023.09829

    Abstract Buried in depth for decades of years, granite in the deep geological repository will be subjected to extremely complex effects of thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) treatment, and the tensile strengths of mineral grain interfaces (MGIs) are inevitably impacted by the THM treatment [1, 2]. Originated by the failure modes of granite after THM treatment, the tensile strength of MGI plays an important role in determining the macro mechanical properties of THM-treated granite [3, 4]. However, the accurate characterization of the tensile strength degradations of MGIs with THM treatment is still lacking. In this study, the varied tensile strengths of MGIs, including the… More >

    Water Stability Improvement of Acid Fine Aggregate-Based Asphalt Concrete

    Yihan Sun1,2, Lihua Chu3, Yudong Cheng4,*, Fengxia Chi1,2, Chenchen Zhang1,2, Pengcheng Sun1,2

    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.8, pp. 2171-2180, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.026892

    Abstract In general, acid aggregates are not used in combination with asphalt concrete because of their poor compatibility with the asphalt binder, which typically results in a scarce water stability of the concrete. In the present study, the feasibility of a new approach based on the combination of acid granite fine aggregate with alkaline limestone coarse aggregate and Portland cement filler has been assessed. The mineral and chemical compositions of these three materials have first been analyzed and compared. Then, the effect of different amounts of Portland cement (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the total filler by weight) on… More >

    Investigation of Granite Deformation Process under Axial Load Using LSTM-Based Architectures

    Yalei Wang1, Jinming Xu1,2,*, Mostafa Asadizadeh3, Chuanjiang Zhong4, Xuejie Tao1

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.124, No.2, pp. 643-664, 2020, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2020.09866

    Abstract Granite is generally composed of quartz, biotite, feldspar, and cracks. The changes in digital parameters of these compositions reflect the detail of the deformation process of the rock. Therefore, the estimation of the changes in digital parameters of the compositions is much helpful to understand the deformation and failure stages of the rock. In the current study, after dividing the frames in the video images photographed during the axial compression test into four parts (or, the upper left, upper right, lower left, and lower right ones), the digital parameters of various compositions in each part were then extracted. Using these… More >

    Abstract Granite stone is a by-product of the rock crushing manufacturing. An industrial waste in powder form that causes health problems and environmental pollution. Fine particles fraction can be used as a partial replacement of sand in concrete manufacture. In this work, an alternative exploitation of this waste fraction is proposed. Granite sand (GS) with particles mean size of ~1 μm was employed as thermoplastic starch (TPS) filler at different concentrations. Biocomposites were obtained by melt-mixing and thermo-compression, achieving translucent and easy to handle films. A good GS dispersion within the matrix was evidenced by SEM. Mineral presence induced a shift… More >

    Mechanical Response and Energy Dissipation Analysis of Heat-Treated Granite Under Repeated Impact Loading

    Zhiliang Wang1,*, Nuocheng Tian2, Jianguo Wang3, Shengqi Yang3, Guang Liu1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.59, No.1, pp. 275-296, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.04247

    Abstract The mechanical behaviors and energy dissipation characteristics of heat-treated granite were investigated under repeated impact loading. The granite samples were firstly heat-treated at the temperature of 20°C, 200°C, 400°C, and 600°C, respectively. The thermal damage characteristics of these samples were then observed and measured before impact tests. Dynamic impact compression tests finally were carried out using a modified split-Hopkinson pressure bar under three impact velocities of 12 m/s, 15 m/s, and 18 m/s. These test results show that the mineral composition and the main oxides of the granite do not change with these treatment temperatures. The number of microcracks and… More >
