The mechanical efficiency of the biocementation process is directly related to the microstructural properties of the biocemented sand, such as the volume fraction of calcite, its distribution within the pore space, coordination number, contact surface area, and types of contact. In the present work, some of these microscopic properties are computed, from 3D images obtained by X-ray tomography of biocemented sand. These properties are then used as an input in current analytical models to estimate the elastic properties (Young and shear moduli) and the strength properties (Coulomb cohesion). For the elastic properties, the analytical estimates (contact cement theory model) are compared with classical bounds, self-consistent estimate and numerical results obtained by direct computation (FEM computation) on the same 3D images. Concerning the cohesion, an analytical model initially developed to estimate the cohesion due to suction in unsaturated soils is modified to evaluate the macroscopic cohesion of biocemented sands. Such analytical model is calibrated on experimental data obtained from triaxial tests performed on the same biocemented sand. In overall, the presented results point out the important role of some microstructural parameters, notably those related to the contact, on such effective parameters. 相似文献

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effect of the biocalcification process on the microstructural and the physical properties of biocemented Fontainebleau sand samples. The microstructural properties (porosity, volume fraction of calcite, total specific surface area, specific surface area of calcite, etc.) and the physical properties (permeability, effective diffusion) of the biocemented samples were computed for the first time from 3D images with a high-resolution images obtained by X-ray synchrotron microtomography. The evolution of all these properties with respect to the volume fraction of calcite is analysed and compared with success to experimental data, when it is possible. In general, our results point out that all the properties are strongly affected by the biocalcification process. Finally, all these numerical results from 3D images and experimental data were compared to numerical values or analytical estimates computed on idealized microstructures constituted of periodic overlapping and random non-overlapping arrangements of coated spheres. These comparisons show that these simple microstructures are sufficient to capture and to predict the main evolution of both microstructural and physical properties of biocemented sands for the whole range of volume fraction of calcite investigated. 相似文献

微生物固化技术（MICP）是岩土工程领域新兴起的一种不良地基处理技术,不同地基土体之间的颗粒粒径并不相同,其固化效果也可能存在一定差别。选用3种不同颗粒粒径范围的砂土进行微生物固化处理,并基于无侧限抗压强度试验、孔隙体积测量和洗酸处理,从宏观角度分析颗粒粒径对微生物固化效果的影响。结合扫描电镜测试,从细观角度对微生物固化机制进行了初探。研究结果表明,微生物固化砂土中碳酸钙晶体以颗粒簇形式堆积在砂土颗粒表面及颗粒间接触处,其尺寸随碳酸钙晶体堆叠程度的增加而增大;对于颗粒粒径较小的砂土,颗粒间孔隙较易被碳酸钙晶体填充密实,固化试样内有效碳酸钙晶体比例较大,“结构性”较强,无侧限抗压强度较高。 相似文献

Bioremediation is widely used to improve ground soil by introducing calcium carbonate (CaCO3). Shear wave velocity (Vs) is usually adopted to evaluate effect but the microscopic mechanism is unclear. The discrete element method (DEM), a promising tool for simulating the behaviors of cohesive and noncohesive materials, was used in this study to simulate Vs evolution and wave propagation path of sand reinforced by calcite precipitates. Two basic calcite precipitate forms are proposed for representing individual calcite precipitation (CaCO3-P) and calcite aggregation (CaCO3-C). Contact cementation between adjacent sand grain pairs was the primary association pattern for calcite precipitates at a low calcite content. At a higher calcite content, the preferential shear wave propagation pathway is the clusters cemented by CaCO3-C. With calcite content increasing from 0 to 9%, the coordination number and average contact force increased. Vs increased from 169.73 to 2132.64 m/s but had high variability due to the spatial distribution. The results suggest that the calibrated DEM model can elucidate the microscopic mechanisms and evaluate the enhancement effect of microorganism-reinforced soil.

用MonteCarlo随机模拟方法模拟砂土颗粒在重力作用下,在圆柱与长方体容器中的自然堆积过程。首先用参考网格法生成一个砂土颗粒的松散结构,松散结构中粒子与粒子、粒子与边界间不存在任何接触;然后启动MonteCarlo随机模拟算法,即给处于松散结构中的每个粒子施加随机位移,得到新构形,如果新构形中粒子间或粒子与边界间发生重叠,则放弃这个构形;如果没有重叠存在,则判别粒子体系的势能变化,运用Metropolis准则来判别这个构形是否被接受,重复这个过程可以得到砂土的密集堆积结构。采用Schinner建议的接触发现算法判别粒子间是否存在重叠,同时详细介绍了粒子与边界间的接触发现算法。模拟结果表明,用MonteCarlo方法模拟砂土的自然堆积结构是非常有效的,可以为砂土的流动、压实等的数值模拟工作提供初始构形。 相似文献

Microstructures of brittle mineral grains embedded in a ductile matrix provide information on the influence of stress concentration on reaction progress during metamorphism. Under non-hydrostatic conditions, contrasts of mechanical properties between minerals possibly cause stress concentrations at specific grain boundaries, which may result in a localization of subsequent reactions. In an impure marble from Syros, Greece, glaucophane grains occurring in a calcite matrix commonly impinge on other glaucophane grains to form concavo-convex boundary contacts. The geometrical relationship between grain boundary and growth zoning within glaucophane grains indicates that indentation and dissolution occurred preferentially at the glaucophane/glaucophane contacts in response to compression normal to the foliation. In contrast, idioblastic surfaces of glaucophane were preserved at glaucophane/calcite boundaries, indicating that stress concentrated at glaucophane/glaucophane contacts. The retrograde minerals (winchite, albite and biotite) that were formed by consuming glaucophane are observed not only at the extensive site, but also at the 'compressive' site where indentation occurred. The precipitation of retrograde minerals at the extensive sites was accompanied by glaucophane dissolution at the indentation stage. In contrast, the formation of retrograde minerals at the 'compressive' site indicates that retrograde replacement preferentially proceeded at the indented sites even after stress relaxation. Such a localization of the replacement suggests that the formation of damaged zones around glaucophane/glaucophane contacts induced by stress concentration would have provided the preferential sites for glaucophane breakdown at the later stage. 相似文献

The use of biopolymer to improve the performance of microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP)-treated sands is a novel and eco-friendly concept. This work found an anionic biopolymer, γ-polyglutamate (γ-PGA), could significantly improve the performance of MICP-treated sands. Comparing the control with absence of γ-PGA, the concentration of 0.1–9 g/L γ-PGA increased the compressive strength of MICP-treated sands by 1.54–3.96 times and significantly reduced the brittleness. The MICP process analysis and microstructural detection demonstrated that γ-PGA in the specimens provided many nucleation sites and templates for calcite generation, partially kept the bacterial urease activity by replacement of the bacteria as nucleation sites, thereby improving the calcite generation. The γ-PGA also cemented sand grains with calcite through the hydrogen bond-type intermolecular interactions. Both the calcite generation and the hydrogen bond-type intermolecular interactions by γ-PGA played vital roles in enhancing MICP for soil improvement. Additionally, γ-PGA, as a viscoelastic admixture between the crystals and sand grains, effectively dissipated the energy of stress and thus reduced the brittleness of MICP-treated sands. This is the first report on the application of anionic biopolymer to MICP technology. It provides a novel concept in promoting the efficiency and sustainability of MICP.

The microstructural evolution of polymineralic contact metamorphic calcite marbles (Adamello contact aureole) with variable volume fractions of second-phase minerals were quantitatively analyzed in terms of changes in grain size and nearest neighbor relations, as well as the volume fractions, dispersion and occurrences of the second phases as a function of changing metamorphic conditions. In all samples, the calcite grain size is controlled by pinning of grain boundaries by second phases, which can be expressed by the Zener parameter (Z), i.e., the ratio between size and volume fraction of the second phases. With increasing peak metamorphic temperature, both the sizes of matrix grains and second phases increase in dependence on the second-phase volume fraction. Two distinct coarsening trends are revealed: trend I with coupled grain coarsening limited by the growth of the second phases is either characterized by large-sized or a large number of closely spaced-second phase particles, and results finally in a dramatic increase in the calcite grain size with Z. Trend II is manifest by matrix controlled grain growth, which is retarded by the presence of single second-phase particles that are located on calcite grain boundaries. It is supported by grain boundary pinning induced by triple junctions, and the calcite grain size increases moderately with Z. The two different grain coarsening trends manifest the transition between relatively pure polymineralic aggregates (trend II) and microstructures with considerable second-phase volume fractions of up to 0.5. The variations might be of general validity for any polymineralic rock, which undergoes grain coarsening during metamorphism. The new findings are important for a better understanding of the initiation of strain localization based on the activation of grain size dependent deformation mechanisms. 相似文献

Experimental observations are reported of weakening of sediment-like aggregates by addition of hard particles. Sieved mixtures of calcite and halite grains are experimentally compacted in drained pressure cells in the presence of a saturated aqueous solution. The individual halite grains deform easily by pressure solution creep whereas calcite grains act as hard objects and resist compaction. The fastest rate of compaction of the mixed aggregate is not obtained for a 100% halite aggregate but for a content of halite grains between 45% and 75%. We propose that this unusual compaction behavior reflects the competition between two mechanisms at the grain scale: intergranular pressure solution at grain contacts and grain boundary healing between halite grains that prevent further compaction. 相似文献

Detrital sand grains are surrounded by thin bassanite coatings in the upper part of a coarse-crystalline gypsum crust from the Algerian Sahara. The bassanite developed by topotactic replacement of the surrounding gypsum in the absence of a liquid phase. Heating experiments using a gypsum crystal with sand inclusions produced similar patterns and textures. In one experiment, bassanite developed around quartz and carbonate grains but not along the sides of the heated gypsum crystal. This is the result of differences in heat capacity between gypsum, quartz and calcite. Bassanite formation in the crust from Algeria was not controlled by differences in thermal properties. Instead, the bassanite apparently formed under conditions of thermal equilibrium. The occurrence of bassanite as circumgranular coatings in the crust is interpreted as being related to the availability of submicroscopic space along the contact between the gypsum cement and the enclosed sand grains. The presence of coatings of this type, or derived relict features, is a potential criterion for the recognition of palaeosurfaces. 相似文献

黏土的变形主要受土颗粒之间的联结方式控制,将土颗粒之间的联结方式分为完善联结和滑动联结。在弹性变形阶段,颗粒之间的联结为完善联结,随着剪应力的增大,骨架中一部分完善联结逐渐变成滑动联结,这种转变即为损伤的演化。骨架的损伤和破坏遵循Mohr-Coulomb准则,在p-q平面中以应力点到初始损伤线和破坏线的相对距离表示损伤比,给出了一种描述骨架损伤和计算损伤演化的方法,进而提出了一种描述黏土在不排水条件下剪切变形的损伤本构模型。模型中的参数可根据常规三轴压缩试验确定,模型的形式简单,可适用于复杂的应力路径情况。对试验结果的拟合表明,该模型能较好地反映黏土在不排水条件下的剪切变形特征。 相似文献

Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is used increasingly to improve the engineering properties of granular soils that are unsuitable for construction. This shows MICP technique significant advantages such as low energy consumption and environmentally friendly feature. The objective of the present study is to assess the strength behaviour of bio-cemented sand with varying cementation levels, and to provide an insight into the mechanism of MICP treatment. A series of isotropic consolidated undrained compression tests, calcite mass measurement and scanning electron microscopy tests were conducted. The experimental results show that the strength of bio-cemented sand depends heavily on the cementation level (or calcite content). The variations of strength parameters, i.e. effective friction angle φ′ and effective cohesion c′, with the increase in calcite content can be well evaluated by a linear function and an exponential function, respectively. Based on the precipitation mechanism of calcite crystals, bio-clogging and bio-cementation of calcite crystals are correlated to the amount of total calcite crystals and effective calcite crystals, respectively, and contributed to the improvement in the effective friction angle and effective cohesion of bio-cemented sand, separately. 相似文献

The Lueders Formation (mid-Permian) in Baylor County, Texas, is an intercalated suite of fluvial siliciclastic, shallow marine siliciclastic, and shallow marine carbonate strata. There are at least two generations of carbonate cements (probably originally composed of calcite) in the fluvial sandstones where fractured grains are observed. These cements represent the initial stages of caliche formation. Cementation is envisioned as a two step process. In the first step, calcite cements form from supersaturated fluids in a freshwater, vadose environment as a meniscus cement at grain contacts. Areas of cement formation are restricted to these sites because fluid distribution is restricted to these sites. Stresses generated by the growth of cements at grain contacts are transmitted through and concentrated at quartz/quartz grain point-contacts until the stress is sufficient to fracture quartz grains, even though the ultimate strength of calcite is less than that of quartz, per unit area. This process occurs too rapidly to be accommodated by pressure solution. In the second phase of cementation, cement nucleation is no longer restricted by vadose conditions. In this phase, calcite growth can no longer result in quartz grain breakage; rather, the quartz grains are dispersed in poikilotopic calcite cement. 相似文献

Hyperfiltration is sometimes cited as a mechanism to explain high degrees of calcite cementation at shale/sandstone contacts. To test this cementation mechanism, a series of experiments were performed in which solutions undersaturated with respect to calcite were hydraulically forced through a Ca-bentonite at different flow rates. Calcite precipitate was observed on the bentonite membrane from hyperfiltrated stock solutions having initial calcite saturation indices of 0.91 and 0.59. Supersaturation conditions at the clay's high-pressure interface are likely provided by establishment of a concentration polarization layer.In the subsurface, the driving force for hyperfiltration is a differential hydraulic pressure gradient acting across a shale membrane. This hydraulically-induced flux of solution causes a build-up of solute at the shale's high-pressure interface to levels that may exceed saturation indices of common cementing minerals like calcite. Although the source of the hydraulic pressure is likely due to compaction within the sedimentary pile, directional flow constraints suggest that hyperfiltration-induced precipitation of calcite occurs at sand/shale boundaries away from areas of active compaction. 相似文献

Metamorphic reaction bands consist of mineral assemblage layers, that separate incompatible mineral assemblages, and grow by reaction at their contacts and by precipitation within the layer. The stoichiometry of these reactions is determined by the relative diffusion fluxes within adjacent layers. Using the local equilibrium-steady diffusion model of Fisher (1973), the stoichiometric coefficients of layer growth reactions can be computed from the mass balance at each layer contact and independent ratios of instantaneous fluxes within each layer.Model calculations in a ternary system show that (1) variation in bulk composition across a reaction band, expressed in terms of layer sequence, mineral formulae of phases that comprise monomineralic layers and modal proportions of phases in multimineralic layers is largely determined by the relative fluxes of components that diffuse in the same direction; (2) the fraction of the width of a reaction band produced by replacement of each of the initial reactant assemblages is largely determined by the relative fluxes of components that diffuse in opposite directions; (3) the fraction of the width of a layer produced by internal precipitation is determined by temperature and the relative fluxes of components that diffuse in opposite directions; (4) in a multilayer reaction band, only one layer can grow by reaction at both contacts, and that layer contains the initial contact between initial reactants; and (5) a reaction band cannot grow by constant volume replacement of both reactant assemblages, if the system is closed to diffusion beyond layer contacts with the initial reactant rock masses. 相似文献

This work is a contribution to the understanding of the mechanical properties of non-cohesive granular materials in the presence
of friction and a continuation of our previous work (Roul et al. 2010) on numerical investigation of the macroscopic mechanical properties of sand piles. Besides previous numerical results obtained
for sand piles that were poured from a localized source (“point source”), we here consider sand piles that were built by adopting
a “line source” or “raining procedure”. Simulations were carried out in two-dimensional systems with soft convex polygonal
particles, using the discrete element method (DEM). First, we focus on computing the macroscopic continuum quantities of the
resulting symmetric sand piles. We then show how the construction history of the sand piles affects their mechanical properties
including strain, fabric, volume fraction, and stress distributions; we also show how the latter are affected by the shape
of the particles. Finally, stress tensors are studied for asymmetric sand piles, where the particles are dropped from either
a point source or a line source. We find that the behaviour of stress distribution at the bottom of an asymmetric sand pile
is qualitatively the same as that obtained from an analytical solution by Didwania and co-workers (Proc R Soc Lond A 456:2569–2588,
2000). 相似文献

The role of endolithic cyanobacteria in the formation of lithified laminae in Bahamian stromatolites 总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5
The microboring activity of endolithic cyanobacteria plays a major role in the formation of the dominant lithified laminae in modern marine stromatolites in the Exuma Cays, Bahamas. These stromatolites are composed primarily of fine-grained carbonate sand that is trapped and bound by the filamentous cyanobacteria Schizothrix sp.. Periodic introduction of coccoid endolithic cyanobacteria Solentia sp. during hiatuses in stromatolite growth associated with very low rates of sedimentation results in the formation of lithified horizons, 200–1000 μm thick. These layers consist of micritized grains that are welded together at point contacts. The micritization is caused by extensive microboring and carbonate precipitation within boreholes concurrent with endolithic activity. Grain welding occurs when boreholes cross from one grain to another at point contacts. Thus, microboring destroys original grain textures but, at the same time, plays a constructional role in stromatolite growth by forming lithified layers of welded grains. These lateral bands of fused carbonate grains help to stabilize and preserve the stromatolite deposits. 相似文献
