“…To define an impact of different mineral admixtures and its quantity on corrosion resistance of concrete a series of tests was done. These were assumptions and ideas of these trials: a) Principle 1 of the sulphate-resistant concrete: Concrete with high density The target of the highest possible density of concrete was achieved by the mix-design and aggregates composition in accordance with the Fuller-Thompson principle [7]. Two different types of sand, fine and coarse, were used to create the most appropriate sieve-line.…”

The paper observes an improvement of the sulphate resistance of concrete. This was achieved through creation of dense concrete structure with sulphate resistant binder matrix. Series of tests confirms the positive effect after optimizing the sieve line, also in very fine area; reducing the water-cement ratio with superplasticizer on polycarboxylate basis and restriction of the sulphate sensitive clinker. These steps were possible through adding active aluminosilicate mineral additives. They improve fresh concrete properties, density and corrosion resistance of concrete. The chemical reasons of such effect were explained by the means of x-ray diffraction, differential thermogravimetry and scanning electron microscopy. This development should be widely used in several projects in Ukraine, where sulphate-resistant concrete is needed.

“…The calculation method of continuous gradation was proposed by the American scholar, Fuller, in the early 20th century on the basis of the theory of maximum density, which demonstrated that when the gradation curve was a parabola, as given by eq. 3, the loose deposit could reach the maximum density state (FULLER and THOMPSON, 1907).…”

Experimental Study on the Compaction and Deformation of Filling Gangue by Reducing Waste Gangue for Filling Mining

The coal mining technology of fully mechanized solid filling is an efficient and green mining method that integrates “sediment reduction” and “emission reduction.” However, the discharge of wasted gangue and surface subsidence are controlled by the amount of wasted gangue used in filling mining and the compaction rate of gangue filled into a goaf, respectively. To increase the consumption of wasted gangue and reduce surface subsidence, mixed gangue composed of equal-quality washed gangue and crushed gangue is proposed as a raw material for solid filling on the basis of gradation theory. Next, a screening experiment was performed to analyze the grain gradation of different specimens, and a compression experiment was executed to compare and analyze the compression characteristics. The results show that the nonuniformity coefficient of mixed gangue is 55.2 and the curvature coefficient is 1.53, which significantly improve the grain gradation of washed gangue. The degree of relative compaction of mixed gangue is 1.226, which is significantly lower than that of washed gangue, which is 1.33. The deformation modulus of mixed gangue is 23–135 MPa, which is better than that of washed gangue (26–100 MPa), indicating that the compressive resistance of mixed gangue is significantly improved. The case study of the Tangkou mine suggests that mixed gangue greatly promotes the consumption of wasted gangue and can effectively control the surface deformation.

In this work, we explore the influence of the grain size distribution (GSD) on density, connectivity and internal forces distributions, for both 2D and 3D granular packings built mechanically. For power law GSDs, we show that there is an exponent for which density and connectivity are optimized, and this exponent is close to those that characterize other well known GSDs such as the Fuller and Thompson distribution and the Appollonian packing. In addition, we studied the distributions of normal forces, finding that these can be well described by a power-law tail, specially for the GSDs with large size span. These results highlight the role of the GSD on internal structure and suggest important consequences on macroscopic properties.
