摘要： Survey and novel research data are used in the present study to classify/identify the lithological type of Verey age reservoirs’rocks.It is shown how the use of X-ray tomography can clarify the degree of heterogeneity,porosity and permeability of these rocks.These data are then used to elaborate a model of hydraulic fracturing.The resulting software can take into account the properties of proppant and breakdown fluid,thermal reservoir conditions,oil properties,well design data and even the filtration and elastic-mechanical properties of the rocks.Calculations of hydraulic fracturing crack formation are carried out and the results are compared with the data on hydraulic fracturing crack at standard conditions.Significant differences in crack formation in standard and lithotype models are determined.It is shown that the average width of the crack development for the lithotype model is 2.3 times higher than that for the standard model.Moreover,the coverage of crack development in height for the lithotype model is almost 2 times less than that for the standard model.The estimated fracture half-length for the lithotype model is 13.3%less than that of for the standard model.A higher dimensionless fracture conductivity is also obtained for the lithotype model.It is concluded that the proposed approach can increase the reliability of hydraulic fracturing crack models.

摘要： Evaluating velocity-porosity relationships of hydrate-bearing marine sediments is essential for characterizing natural gas hydrates below seafloor as either a potential energy resource or geohazards risks.Four sites had cored using pressure and non-pressure methods during the gas hydrates drilling project(GMGS4)expedition at Shenhu Area,north slope of the South China Sea.Sediments were cored above,below,and through the gas-hydrate-bearing zone guided with logging-while-drilling analysis results.Gamma density and P-wave velocity were measured in each pressure core before subsampling.Methane hydrates volumes in total 62 samples were calculated from the moles of excess methane collected during depressurization experiments.The concentration of methane hydrates ranged from 0.3%to 32.3%.The concentrations of pore fluid(25.44%to 68.82%)and sediments(23.63%to 54.28%)were calculated from the gamma density.The regression models of P-wave velocity were derived and compared with a global empirical equation derived from shallow,unconsolidated sediments data.The results were close to the global trend when the fluid concentration is larger than the critical porosity.It is concluded that the dominant factor of P-wave velocity in hydrate-bearing marine sediments is the presence of the hydrate.Methane hydrates can reduce the fluid concentration by discharging the pore fluid and occupying the original pore space of sediments after its formation.

摘要： To clarify the relationship between externally solidified crystals(ESCs)and other defects,e.g.,defect bands and pores,two dimensional(2D)and three dimensional(3D)characterization methods were adopted to analyze castings produced using a modified ingate system equipped with and without an ESC collector.The reduction of ESCs strongly reduced defect band width and shrinkage pore quantity.By reducing the quantity and size of ESCs,net-shrinkage pores were transformed into isolated island-shrinkage pores.We determined via statistical analysis that the mechanical properties of high pressure die castings were strongly related to the size and fraction of the ESCs rather than porosity volume.The reduction of ESCs also caused tensile transgranular fracture modes to transform into intergranular fracture modes.Additionally,casting pressurization strongly reduced pore morphology,volume,and size.

摘要： In the presented work,the results are provided of examining the properties of a pore solution during the process of cement paste hardening.Based on the experimental data of W.P.Halperin et al,the evolution of the mass balance of structured physical water is analyzed as a combination of interactions of capillary,gel,and other components.The formation and development have been studied of the pore solution viscosity.The comparison of the reported dependences of the water viscosity on the size of the pores with the experimentally determined values of the pores’radius has allowed estimating the rise of avid the pore solution viscosity in the process of hardening of cement paste.The separation of the structured pore solution’s viscosity into capillary and gel components allows for a quantitative and qualitative consideration of the cement paste hardening as the process of forming a macrocapillary matrix,inside which a microporous structure is formed of the cement gel.

摘要： The stability of roads in cities directly affects the safety of traffic and transportation.In the process of pavement laying,relevant personnel should use permeable paving materials in the process of construction.Based on the analysis of road drainage requirements,traditional paving materials have relatively poor water permeability,which leads to ponding problems during road use[1].Within this frame of reference,beginning with the characteristics of permeable paving materials,this paper makes an in-depth exploration on practical application measures.

摘要： Following the evolution of currently enforced Performance Based Design standards of reinforced concrete (RC) structures for durability, the designer, rather than complying with given prescriptive limits, may instead specify a cementitious mix design that is proven to exhibit a code prescribed resistance level (class) to a given exposure environment. Such compliance will lead to the protection of the steel reinforcement from corrosion and the cementitious mortar from degradation, during the design lifespan of the structure, under aggressive environmental exposure conditions such as, marine or deicing salts and carbonation. In this context, the enhancement of the physical and durability properties of common cement-based mortars under chloride exposure are experimentally investigated herein. In particular, the experimental program reported herein aims to evaluate the influence of incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes on the physical and mechanical properties of reinforced mortars against chloride ions. Furthermore, the anticorrosion protection of cementitious composites prepared with nanomaterials at 0.2% w/w is further investigated, by comparing all test results against reference specimens prepared without any additive. Electrochemical (Half-cell potential, corrosion current) and mass loss of reinforcement steel measurements were performed, while the porosity, capillary absorption and flexural strength were measured to evaluate the mechanical and durability characteristics of the mortars, following a period of exposure of eleven months;SEM images coupled with EDX analysis were further recorded and used for microstructure observation. The test results indicate that the inclusion of the nanomaterials in the mix improved the durability of the mortar specimens, while the nano-modified composites exhibited higher chloride penetration resistance and flexural strength than the corresponding values of the reference mortars. The test results and the comparison between nanomodified and reference mortars showed that the use of CNTs as addition led to protection of steel reinforcing bars against pitting corrosion and a significant improvement in flexural strength and porosity of the mortars.

摘要： The process of evaluating rock mass strength requires that major structural features such as joints that influence rock strength are considered. In carbonate rock masses, however, the strength of the rock mass is largely dependent on intact rock strength and structural features play a secondary role. Laboratory experiments on porous rock have shown that intact rock strength reduces with increasing porosity, which has a direct effect on the rock mass strength. Rock porosity has however not been well accounted for in rock mass characterization methods currently in use. This research applies the modified GSI method for carbonate rock masses which is based on a combination of GSI and total porosity. The main aim is to quantify the GSI with respect to rock porosity which is a direct indicator of the state of karstification, as an inherent feature that affects rock mass strength. An empirical equation is proposed whereby the GSI as observed in the field is modified by a natural log of the value of porosity, giving rise to a modified GSI (GSIm). The GSIm together with laboratory properties of rock is used to determine the properties of Vipingo coral limestone from RocLab software. A deterministic parametric slope stability analysis is done using the finite element software Phase 2 with the rock mass properties as input parameters. The analysis results point to a direct dependence of the slope stability on slope angle, slope height and rock mass strength of the lithological unit. The graphs make a useful design guide for slopes engineered in this type of rock mass.

摘要： Ammonium perchlorate(AP)is the component with the highest content in composite propellants,and it plays a crucial role in propellant performance.In view of the effects of low-temperature AP thermal decomposition on thermal safety and combustion characteristics,porous ammonium perchlorate(PAP)samples with different mass losses were first prepared by thermal convection heating,and the structures were characterized and analysed.Second,the effects of decomposition degree on the thermal decomposition characteristics of PAP were studied by DSC-TG.Finally,the combustion characteristics of AP/Al binary mixtures were tested with high-speed photography and in a sealed bomb.The results showed that low-temperature decomposition of AP resulted in formation of porous structures for AP particles.The pores first appeared near the surfaces of the particles and began from multiple points at the same time.The pores increased in size to approximately 5 mm and then expanded,and finally,the AP particles were full of pores.After partial decomposition,the crystal structure of AP remained unchanged,but the low and high decomposition temperatures decreased obviously.The decomposition rate accelerated.Due to the porous structure of PAP,the combustion rate of the AP/Al system increased obviously with increasing decomposition of AP.The relationship between the combustion rate and the mass loss was approximately linear under open conditions,and it was exponential for a high-pressure environment.A computational model of the combustion process for the AP/Al binary system was established to explain the effects of pore structure and pressure on the combustion process.

摘要： Coral materials can replace concrete aggregates and achieve material self sufficiency for reducing the construction costs of island projects.This paper studies the effects of different mineral admixtures on the properties of coral aggregate concrete(CAC).The chloride concentration of CAC after different erosion times is measured using the potentiometric method,and the porosity of the CAC is ca lculated using thermogravimetric and drying methods.The chloride concentration of the CAC presents a two-phases dis tribution.The peak chloride concentration fol-lowed a power function,increasing with the erosion time.The chloride diffusion coefficient of CAC is 7.9%-37.5%larger than that of ordinary aggregate concrete,and the addition of 15% fly ash and 5%silica fume can significantly reduce the chloride diffusion coefficient,with a maximum reduction of 45.0%.The porosity obtained via the thermogravimetric and drying methods is well correlated.The porosity has a strong negative correlation with the compressive strength and a strong positive correlation with the chloride diffusion coefficient.
