Cement stabilized macadam semi-rigid base materials are widely used in road construction in China. However, a traditional static molding method and heavy compaction method cannot guide the design and engineering application of cement stabilized macadam mixture because it often appears that the compaction degree exceeds 100% in the practical engineering. In view of this, this paper carried out the research of an indoor vibration compaction method of cement stabilized macadam mixture, and compared the mechanical properties and void distribution characteristics of two kinds of compositions of mixtures under the vibration compaction method as well as static pressure molding and heavy compaction method and on-site sample after 7 days curing period, which was combined with the physical engineering project of Yu-Song Expressway in Jilin Province, China. The research results show that the maximum dry density of mixture under vibration compaction is larger and the best moisture content is smaller, which has a heavy incomparable advantage on the simulation of on-site compaction. And the compressive strength and splitting strength indexes of vibration compacted specimens are close to those of an on-site sample, which are all larger than static pressure specimen. Moreover, the void distribution characteristics of vibration compacted specimens is much closer to those of the on-site sample and more universal, while static pressure specimens lack in uniformity. In addition, different results caused by the two gradation are compared. All of the above research results can verify that the vibration compaction method has more reliability and accuracy to simulate the actual properties of base material. This study provides a reference for the application of vibration compaction method in road engineering design.

Compaction Method

The vertical vibration compaction method (VVCM), heavy compaction method and static pressure method were used to form phyllite specimens with different degrees of weathering. The influence of cement content, compactness, and compaction method on the mechanical properties of phyllite was studied. The mechanical properties of phyllite was evaluated in terms of unconfined compressive strength (Rc) and modulus of resilience (Ec). Further, test roads were paved along an expressway in China to demonstrate the feasibility of the highly weathered phyllite improvement technology. Results show that unweathered phyllite can be used as subgrade filler. In spite of increasing compactness, phyllite with a higher degree of weathering cannot meet the requirements for subgrade filler. With increasing cement content, Rc and Ec of the improved phyllite increases linearly. Rc and Ec increase by at least 15% and 17%, respectively, for every 1% increase in cement content and by at least 10% and 6%, respectively, for every 1% increase in compactness. The higher the degree of weathering of phyllite, the greater the degree of improvement of its mechanical properties.

This paper presents a study of the properties of soil–rock mixtures (SRM) prepared by the vibration compaction method. First, the results of laboratory experiments and field tests are compared to determine the reasonable parameters of the vibration compaction method (VCM) for soil–rock mixtures. The compaction characteristics, CBR, and resilient modulus of the laboratory-prepared soil–rock mixtures by the static pressure compaction method (SPCM) and vibration compaction method are compared. The effects of the soil to rock ratio and the maximum particle size and gradation on the compaction characteristic, resilient modulus and CBR of soil–rock mixtures prepared by the vibration compaction method are investigated. Finally, field measurements are subsequently conducted to validate the laboratory investigations. The results show that the reasonable vibration frequency, exciting force, and static surface pressure of the vibration compactor for soil–rock mixtures are recommended as 25 Hz, 5.3 kN, and 154.0~163.2 kPa, respectively. Soil–rock mixtures prepared by vibration compaction method has smaller optimum water content and gradation variation and larger density than specimens prepared by the static pressure compaction method, and the CBR and resilient modulus are 1.46 ± 0.02 and 1.16 ± 0.03 times those of specimens prepared by the static pressure compaction method, respectively. The ratio of soil to rock, followed by the maximum particle size, lead obvious influences on the properties of soil–rock mixtures. Moreover, the results show that the CBR and resilient modulus of soil–rock mixtures prepared by vibration compaction method have a correlation of 86.9% and 89.1% with the field tests, respectively, which is higher than the static pressure compaction method.

Diatomite soil is a kind of bio-siliceous soil with complex composition and special structure, the physical and mechanical properties of diatomite soil are very important for the engineering project. In this paper, the physical properties, mechanical properties, and microstructure of diatomite soil in Zhejiang Province are studied by geotechnical tests and microscopic tests from the macroscopic and microscopic perspective. The results show that: (1) The diatomite soil has special properties different from other soils, including small particle size, low specific gravity value, high liquid-plastic limit, and low compressibility, and the strength indexes c and φ of diatomite soil will decrease with an increase in soil water content; (2) in the triaxial test, when the dry density of diatomite soil increases from 1.30 g/cm3 to 1.50 g/cm3, the effective internal friction angle of diatomite soil increases from 5.6° to 14.5° and the effective cohesion increases from 30.9 kPa to 49.6 kPa. The stress–strain curve of diatomite soil changes from weak softening type to weak hardening type when the confining pressure is above 200 kPa; (3) the diatomite soil has high porosity due to its unique microstructure; it is rich in aluminum oxides and minerals, which will greatly reduce the engineering performance of diatomite soil.

Mechanical properties are important indexes to evaluate the improvement effect and engineering performance of cement-stabilized loess (CSL). This paper presents a comparison of the mechanical properties of CSL compacted using hammer quasi-static compaction method (QSCM) and vertical vibration compaction method (VVCM). The compaction properties, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), splitting strength (SPS), and resilient modulus (RM) of the laboratory-compacted CSL using VVCM and QSCM are tested and compared. Furthermore, the effects of compaction method, cement content, compaction coefficient, and curing time of the CSL specimens are investigated. In addition, field measurements are carried out to validate the laboratory investigations. The results show that the laboratory-compacted CSL using VVCM has a larger dry density and smaller optimum water content than that using QSCM. And the compaction method has a great influence on the mechanical strength of CSL. The UCS, SPS, and RM of the specimen produced using VVCM are averagely 1.17 times, 1.49 times, and 1.17 times that of CSL produced using QSCM, respectively, and the UCS, SPS, and RM of the specimens produced using these two methods increase linearly as the cement content and compaction coefficient increase, while the mechanical strength growth curve experiences three periods of increasing sharply, increasing slowly, and stabilizing with the curing time increased. Moreover, the results also show that the mechanical properties of laboratory-compacted CSL using VVCM have a better correlation of 83.8% with the field core samples.

The anatomical characteristics, chemical composition, and physical and mechanical properties of fast-growing Populus × euramericana cv. ‘74/76’ juvenile wood were investigated. Four- to five-year-old clonal plantation trees were harvested from two different experimental sites in the suburbs of Beijing. The Shunyi site had black alkali soil with a planting density of 4 × 6 m and the Miyun site had sandy loam soil with a planting density of 3 × 5 m. The test results showed that the poplar trees from the two sites were both fast growing, with poplar at Shunyi growing faster than at Miyun. There were no significant differences in wood properties between trees grown at the two sites. Fiber length at breast height varied from 872 to 1300 μm between growth rings, average fiber width varied from 21.0 to 25.5 μm and double wall thickness varied from 5.0 to 6.6 μm. Average cellulose, lignin and hemicellulose contents in the samples were 48.9%, 25.4%, and 18.8%, respectively. MFA was higher in the first two growth rings (20–25°), and then decreased rapidly to 12° close to the bark. The average air-dry density at breast height was 401 kg/m3 while the average MOE at breast height was 9.3 GPa. The trees showed large growth rates in both height and stem diameter during the growing season. However, wood properties of the juvenile poplar appeared to be similar to those of poplars with a slower growth rate.
