Study of Permeability of Glass-Sand Soil

Abstract

The drainage consolidation method has been efficiently used to deal with soft ground improvement. Nowadays, it has been suggested to use a new sand soil which is a composite of sand and recycled glass waste. The permeability performance of glass-sand soil was explored to judge the feasibility of glass-sand soil backfilled in the drainage consolidation of sand-drained ground. For comparison purposes, different mix proportions of recycled glass waste, fineness modulus, and glass particle size were analyzed to certify the impact on the permeability coefficient and the degree of consolidation. The numerical results show that adding a proper amount of recycled glass waste could promote the permeability performance of glass-sand soil, and the glasssand soil drain could be consolidated more quickly than a sand drain. Experiments showed that glass-sand soil with the a 20% mix of recycled glass waste reveals the optimum performance of permeability.

Study on Permeability of Steel Slag and Steel Slag Modifying Silt Soil as New Geo‐Backfill Materials

“…e test value is the permeability coefficient k T of steel slag-treated silt soil at room temperature, which was transformed into the permeability coefficient k 20 according to the previous formula (3). e test results are shown in Table 9.…”

“…Test materials are shown in Figure 3. Two parallel experiments were conducted, and their average value was taken when their difference was less than 0.03 g/cm 3 . e maximum and minimum dry densities of the three types of steel slag obtained by tests are shown in Table 3.…”

“…e silt selected for tests was silt soil for sea reclamation of the seaside Avenue in Lianyungang Ctiy, Jiangsu Province, China, with a natural water content of 53.3%, a wet density of 1.73 g/cm 3 , and a specific gravity G s of 2.74. e permeability coefficient of the initial test was at the order of magnitude 10 −7 , and the infiltration capacity was weak. In previous tests, it was found that gravel steel slag has strong water-absorbing ability.…”

“…A higher variability is present in the permeability values of HMA compared to that obtained from cement concrete measurement [2]. Adding a proper amount of recycled glass waste could promote the permeability performance of glasssand soil [3]. e lowest permeability is obtained in natural clay, compacted consolidated clay, and compacted clay [4].…”

On the Application of foam Glass in Interior Design

“…As foam glass is more remarkable compared with other materials in terms of moisture resistance, fire resistance, and corrosion resistance, in addition to its nondeteriorating and non-aging characteristics, it can be used for a long time in environments with large temperature differences, humid air, and materials susceptible to corrosion [8] . Because it is non-polluting and nonhazardous to the environment, it is called a green and environmentally friendly material, and the world is paying more and more attention to green issues, energy saving and environmental protection tend to be stricter, and the use of foam glass in the future will be more and more extensive [9] .…”
