Study for the Influence of Mineral Admixtures on the Workability of Self-compacting Concrete by WANG Kunyun, HU Diyong, YANG Zhu

“…As the most important performance of self-compacting concrete (SCC),the workability has been studied extensively and deeply.In addition to high sand ratio and low water-cement ratio,mineral admixtures also have a great impact on the workability of SCC.In order to promote the use and development of SCC,after consulting a large number of domestic and foreign documents,this paper summarizes the use and research status of mineral admixtures in SCC in recent years,reviews the influence of different mineral admixtures on the workability of SCC,and specifies their mechanism.Generally speaking,common admixtures such as fly ash,slag,silica fume and limestone powder can improve part of the workability of SCC,and the main mechanism includes the “morphological effect”,“water reducing effect” and “volume effect” of these admixtures.However,there are few studies on the effects of mineral admixtures such as copper slag,waste glass slag,bagasse ash,pumice powder and lithium slag on the workability of SCC,so they are still in doubt,and need to be further studied.…”

A Multi-Disciplinary Review of Current Sea-Level Rise Research in Florida by Anna Cathey Linhoss, Lisa Gardner Chambers, Kevin Wozniak, Tom Ankersen

“…Sea-level rise is an issue of paramount importance for the state of Florida due to its lengthy coastline, low relief, high coastal population density, ecologically and economically vital beaches, estuaries, and wetlands, and porous limestone geology. The rate of sea-level rise in Florida generally follows the global average (~3 mm per year) and is slowly gaining public attention as a significant threat to the natural and socioeconomic future of the state. …”

Un habitat groupé antérieur au xiie siècle préservé sous forêt : le site de Goa (Val-Suzon, Côte-d’Or) by Rémi Landois, Jean-Pierre Garcia, Amélie Quiquerez

“…The forest context makes it possible to observe and analyze the parcels of land around the houses, which extends over a wide limestone plateau. All such data allow discussing the overall landscape evolution from rural settlement to forest reconquest during the key-period of the 11-12th centuries.…”

Des pieds de moutons dans la citerne du sanctuaire de Corent (Veyre-Monton, Puy-de-Dôme) : rejet détritique ou dépôt rituel ? by Sylvain Foucras

“…Everything seems to show that once this act was done, the tank was quickly filled in, and then sealed by an impressive limestone slab. The zooarchaeological study reveals that despite their anarchic position at the bottom of the structure, these legs are divided equally between forelimb and hindlimb and between left and right. …”

Analysis of Landslide Motion Characteristics Based on UDEC: A Case Study of the Landslide in Shiban Village,Ganlong Town,Songtao County, Guizhou Province by LU Bifeng, ZHANG Hui, XIE Peihong

“…On July 8,2020,a landslide occurred in Shiban Village,Ganlong Town,Songtao County,Guizhou Province,causing casualties and diverting the river below.Through field investigation and section measurement,the development characteristics and formation mechanism of the landslide are analyzed.In addition,the motion characteristics of the landslide are simulated by the discrete element program UDEC to restore the deformation and failure process of the landslide from start-up to river blocking.The time-effect displacement curves of different parts of the landslide are obtained.The conclusions are as follows:The landslide is produced under the comprehensive action of unfavorable topography and geomorphology and formation lithology combination,rock mass structure,rainfall,and human engineering activities.The sliding surface is the contact surface of marlstone and coarse-grained limestone.The formation process of the landslide can be divided into three stages:leading-edge slip-trailing-edge crack,whole slippage,and collision accumulation.The landslide has a violent starting effect,and the maximum start-up rate can reach 5.24 m/s.The displacement and deformation rates of the trailing edge lag behind those of the leading edge,and the maximum horizontal displacement of the landslide is 217.5 m.…”
