Synergistic Control of Shrinkage and Mechanical Properties in Expansive Soil Slurry via Coupled Cement–Fiber Reinforcement by Dongxing Zhang, Yuchen Wang, Zhaohong Zhang, Zhenping Sun, Chengzhi Wang, Shuang Zou

“…Crucially, a pronounced synergistic effect was observed in the co-modified slurry; the specimen with 20% cement and 0.5% fiber exhibited a 28-day drying shrinkage of only 0.57%, a performance comparable to the specimen with 60% cement and no fibers. Microstructural analysis revealed that cement hydration products created a robust fiber-matrix interfacial transition zone, evidenced by C-S-H gel enrichment. …”

Effect of Admixture on Freeze-thaw Damage of Sleeve Grouting Materials by WU Zhaoyue, ZHU Haiqing

“…This paper compares the physical and mechanical properties of sleeve grouting materials with different admixtures under freeze-thaw action by means of control variable method,studies the effects of different admixtures and different contents on the apparent morphology,mass loss and strength loss of sleeve grouting materials under freeze-thaw action,and further analyzes the change of species,quantity and morphology of hydration products in freeze-thaw cycle by SEM (scanning electron microscope).The results show that:After 120 freeze-thaw cycles,the mass loss of mortar specimens with admixtures is less than 2%,which is lagged compared with the compressive strength loss;Based on the gray correlation analysis,the impact of expansion agent on the mechanical properties of mortar specimens under different freeze-thaw cycles is the lowest.However,with the addition of defoaming agent,the physical and mechanical properties of mortar specimens are more sensitive to freeze-thaw damage,and the sensitivity will increase with the increase of defoaming agent contents;From the microstructure analysis,the addition of expansion agent can improve the stability of internal C-S-H gel system after freeze-thaw action.…”
