Abstract:Some conclusions were drawn from two groups of in-site tests on concrete pile composite foundations. In the tests, it was found that the pressure under the rigid loading slab is different, in which the pressure under the center of the slab is the less and under the edge of the slab is the biggest. The pile-soil stress ratio is not a constant; it increases with the adding of the load. Most of the pile-soil ratio vary from 9 to 13 in these tests and the load that the piles share can be more than seventy percent of the whole load. It was proved that the bearing capacity of the concrete pile composite foundation is high with a little settlement, so it will be used more and more in the future.

Abstract:In this paper, the characteristic of the plastic shrinkage cracking of the lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) was studied under the condition of prescribed quantity of cement and aggregate and was compared with that of the normal aggregate concrete (NC) with the same proportion of materials for the LWAC. The results suggested that the water evaporation quantity in the concrete became larger with the increase of w/c, and water evaporation velocity reached maximum value around two hours. When the water-cement ratio was low, the area of the plastic shrinkage cracking of LWAC was large and when w/c was 0.40, the area reached the maximum value and then became smaller with the increase of w/c.

Abstract:There is a popular opinion that SBS can improve both high and low temperature performance of base bitumen. In this study, four kinds of SBS are used to modify three kinds of common domestic bitumen and one kind of foreign one; some final products of SBS modified bitumen are obtained. The rheological properties of SBS modified bitumen after RTFO/PAV are studied by using bending beam Rheometer (BBR), which is one of the test methods of SHRP. The results indicate that the low temperature grade of SBS modified bitumen made by physical method is at the same level as that of base bitumen. In other words, the SBS modification effect on low temperature anti-cracking performance of base bitumen still deserves to study from the meaning of rheology.
