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.…”

WSN data gathering algorithm based on compressive sensing and matrix completion technique by Ce ZHANG, Ou LI, Xin TONG, Yanping YANG

“…The unreliable links and packet losing are ubiquitous in WSN.The performance of data collection algorithm based on compressive sensing is sensitive to packet losing.Firstly,the relationship between packet loss rate and CS-based reconstruction precision was analyzed,and the sparsest block measurement (SBM) matrix was formulated to keep the data gathering consumption smallest and make sure the low-rank property of measurements.Then,combined with the matrix completion (MC) and compressive sensing (CS),the CS data gathering algorithm based on sparsest block measurement matrix (CS-SBM) algorithm was proposed.CS-SBM gathered data in a period and recovered the loss data based on MC to weaken the impact of packet loss on data gathering.CS-SBM reconstructed data based on CS to reduce measurement number and energy consumption and prolong the network lifetime.Simulation analysis indicates that the proposed algorithm reconstruct the whole data with high-accuracy under 50% packet loss rate,resisting unreliable links effectively.…”
