     View Summary

    This study starts from a question: how would initial water content (wi) affect equilibrium swelling pressure (peq) of compacted bentonites in swelling pressure tests (ps tests)? However, discussions, based on experiments of a bentonite, Kunigel V1 (K_V1), are extended to issues: 1) wi effect on peq, 2) pore water density (ρpw), 3) co-existence of crystalline and osmotic swelling, and 4) relation between peq and compaction tests (pc tests). It is revealed that wi has insignificant effect on peq in general, though significant effect may appear for relatively high wi and dry density (ρd) conditions. Two swelling types, crystalline swelling with basal spacing of montmorillonite (d001= 1.0 nm - 1.9 nm) and osmotic swelling (d001 ≥ ∼4.0 nm), co-exist in a w range from 36 to 65%. With the fact that ρpw of K_V1 may range from 1.1 to 1.2 Mg/m3, it is expected that crystalline swelling may mainly govern peq in ps tests if the final dry density of a specimen (ρdf) is larger than 1.46 Mg/m3, while osmotic swelling may mainly govern if ρdf <1.05 Mg/m3. Together with results of pc tests, the effect of wi on peq are explained by the proposed conceptual model.

  • Water retention characteristics of iron ore fines

    Canadian Geotechnical Journal   57 ( 9 ) 1427 - 1437  2020.09  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Evaluations of water retention characteristics of typical iron ore fines (IOF) were presented, which was part of experimental works for the estimation of liquefaction potential of IOF heaps. The water retention tests were conducted in a suction range from 0.1 to 106 kPa on two IOFs and two artificial soils with various testing techniques. It is observed that water retention characteristic curves of one IOF (IOF-B) converge in terms of the relationship between suction (S) and water content (w) regardless densities of specimens when S exceeds a threshold value (Sth). Based on this finding, water retention characteristics are divided into density and materials affected zones. It is also found that IOFs generally have higher water retention ability than the two artificial soils, from which discussion is made on the effect of specific surface area and mineralogy on water retention characteristics of IOF. Finally, water retention characteristics are linked to compaction curves, from which, with the consideration that degree of saturation at peaks of compaction curves is relatively constant, a safety margin of a recently proposed regulation for maritime transportation of IOF is discussed.

    Canadian Geotechnical Journal   57 ( 6 ) 921 - 932  2020.06  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    A testing procedure was proposed to study water movement in compacted bentonite and the development of swelling pressure (ps) when compacted bentonite specimens were wetted. In this procedure, a multi-ring mold was introduced for ps measurements, after which the specimen was sliced for X-ray diffraction to find movement of water in the interlayer space of montmorillonite. Results revealed a relation between four phases of ps development and evolution of four states of interlayer water molecule arrangement of montmorillonite (L): when ps reached its first peak in phase I, L moved from 1 row water arrangement (1w) to at least 2w; when ps decreased and re-increased in phases II or III, L moved from 2w to at least 3w; and when ps reached a steady state in phase IV, L = 3w. The w distribution in the compacted bentonite was also measured as water absorption time increased. Based on those results, the global water movement was estimated in terms of diffusivity (D) following a method employing Boltzmann transform. Results of comparisons implied that D calculated using this method matched experimental data well and the method was rather easily handled.

  • Undrained monotonic triaxial loading behaviors of a type of iron ore fines

    Hailong Wang, Junichi Koseki, Fei Cai, Tomoyoshi Nishimura

    Canadian Geotechnical Journal   55 ( 9 ) 1349 - 1357  2018.09  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Concerning the static liquefaction properties of an industrial cargo, i.e., iron ore fines (IOF), undrained monotonic behaviors of a type of IOF are revealed through conducting triaxial compression tests. It is found that IOF exhibit some similar behaviors as those of common sandy soils, while some very unusual behaviors are also observed. All IOF specimens with compaction degree of 84%–95% and confining pressure of 50–200 kPa exhibit dilative behavior from the beginning of axial loading until the deviator stresses reach their peaks (qpk). Then the dilative behavior transforms to a contractive behavior, and the contractive behavior continues until reaching the residual stress without observation of phase transformation and quasi steady state. These behaviors are not usually observed for common sandy soils based on extensive previous works. More studies may be necessary as these unusual behaviors imply that flow failure, similar to the undrained monotonic behavior of very loose sand, may be triggered regardless of the density of IOF. In addition, this study also establishes the relationships of IOF between its initial conditions, peak stress conditions, and residual conditions by employing classical knowledges developed for sandy soils.

  • Membrane filter properties and application of the filter to undrained cyclic triaxial test of unsaturated materials

    Canadian Geotechnical Journal   54 ( 8 ) 1196 - 1202  2017  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    Properties of the membrane filter recently introduced as an alternative to the ceramic disk are revealed through diffusion and hydraulic conductivity tests. It is shown that diffusion of air through the membrane filter is significantly affected by suction magnitude and that hydraulic conductivity of the membrane filter can easily be affected by the quality of water used in the test. The application of the membrane filter to the soil-water characteristic curve tests (SWCC tests) shows that similar SWCCs can be obtained by employing pressure plate apparatuses with either the ceramic disks or the membrane filter installed, and that repeatability of the SWCC by using the membrane filter pressure plate apparatus is reasonably good. The application of the membrane filter to the undrained cyclic loading test of unsaturated sandy materials shows that the response (the duration to measure the equilibrated pore-water pressure of unsaturated materials) of the membrane filter pedestal in a modified triaxial system may be as short as ~2 s in certain test conditions,andfairlygoodpore-waterpressureandairpressuremeasurementscan be obtained during undrained cyclic loading with a loading frequency of 0.1 Hz.

  • P-constant condition applied to undrained cyclic triaxial test of unsaturated soils

    H. Wang, J. Koseki, T. Sato

    Geotechnical Testing Journal   40 ( 4 ) 710 - 718  2017  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    To evaluate the liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soils by a triaxial system, it is suggested to keep a p-constant condition rather than the rh-constant condition (i.e., cell pressure constant) that is normally applied to the same test for saturated specimen. The main concern is that the pore pressure coefficient (B value) of unsaturated specimens may be far less than unity, which causes undesired effects on the behaviors of unsaturated soils. A modified triaxial system that can maintain the p-constant condition has been recently developed. By using the system, the behaviors of an unsaturated soil subjected to undrained cyclic triaxial loading are compared between the p-constant condition and the rh-constant condition, which implies that the testing conditions affect behaviors of pore pressures generation, stress strain relationship, etc. Results suggest that tests under the rh-constant condition underestimate the liquefaction resistance of soils. In addition, the modified triaxial system could effectively reduce the variation of p by more than 60 % in the full tested range, or by 75 % in a range with relatively small magnitude of the vertical loading based on test results of three sandy soils.

  • Effect of saturation on liquefaction resistance of iron ore fines and two sandy soils

     View Summary

    Over the past several years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has become increasingly concerned about the liquefaction of unsaturated solid bulk cargo (e.g. iron ore fines) during maritime transportation. This concern has arisen due to several accidents including the capsizing of vessels. In addition, although the resistance against liquefaction of ordinary unsaturated soils is higher than for saturated soils, possible key parameters governing the liquefaction resistance of unsaturated soils (R-L,R- unsat) have not yet been clearly identified. Therefore, in this study, undrained cyclic loading tests of saturated and unsaturated iron ore fines and two sandy soils were conducted using a triaxial apparatus to reveal the liquefaction behavior of iron ore fines and to find the key parameters governing R-L,R- unsat. Through comparisons, it was found that the liquefaction behavior of iron ore fines is similar to that of sandy soils. The degree of saturation and potential volumetric strain, which have been proposed as the governing parameters of R-L,R- unsat, were examined based on experimental data obtained in this study and by other researchers. It was shown that neither of the two parameters correlate with the liquefaction resistance ratio (LRR), a ratio of RL,,,, to the liquefaction resistance of the saturated soils (R-L,R- unsat) with a unique relationship, especially when considering soils with considerable fines content. Following the concept of potential volumetric strain, which considers the compressibility of pore air in the unsaturated soils, volumetric expansion due to the reduction in confining pressure during cyclic loading is further considered, and a new index, the volumetric strain ratio (Rv) is proposed in this study. According to the experimental data obtained in this study, Rv exhibits a much better correlation with LRR than the two former parameters. (C) 2016 The Japanese Geotechnical Society.

  • A System to Measure Volume Change of Unsaturated Soils in Undrained Cyclic Triaxial Tests

    H. Wang, T. Sato, J. Koseki, G. Chiaro, J. Tan Tian

    GEOTECHNICAL TESTING JOURNAL   39 ( 4 ) 532 - 542  2016.07  [Refereed]

    Authorship:Lead author, Corresponding author

     View Summary

    It is common to employ a traditional double cell system, of which an open-ended inner cell is installed in an ordinary triaxial apparatus, to measure the volume change of unsaturated specimens. In such a system, the total apparent volumetric strain of the specimen (epsilon(v)) is deduced from the water level change in the inner cell, monitored by a differential pressure transducer (DPT) considering, meanwhile, the top cap intrusion into the inner cell recorded by a vertical displacement transducer (VDT). Severe apparent volumetric strain, caused by the compliance of the double cell system(epsilon(v,SC)), was observed during the undrained cyclic loading tests in a previous study. Test results on a steel-spring dummy specimen revealed that epsilon(v,SC) was induced not only by such as the meniscus effect, but unexpectedly also by the asynchronous responses between the DPT and the VDT (i.e., the response of the DPT was delayed compared with that of the VDT). By doing some treatment epsilon(v,SC) could be reduced to some extent, whereas the magnitude of epsilon(v,SC) was still too high to be acceptable when the tested specimen approached the liquefied state. To radically solve these technical difficulties, a modified double cell system, named the linkage double cell system, was developed in this study. In this modified system, a linkage rod moving simultaneously with the loading shaft was introduced, through which the DPT could directly measure epsilon(v) without considering the top cap or loading shaft intrusion. Test results for the steel-spring dummy specimen as well as for saturated and unsaturated soil specimens demonstrated that the linkage double cell system has major advantages in measuring accurately the volume change of the specimen during undrained cyclic triaxial loading tests compared with the traditional double cell system.

  • Geotechnical properties of a type of iron ore fines

    15th Asian Regional Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, ARC 2015: New Innovations and Sustainability   2 ( 14 ) 541 - 546  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    Accidents and life loss caused serious concern on the liquefaction problem of some solid bulk cargoes such as iron ore fines during transportation at sea. To understand the liquefaction property of a type of iron ore fines, a series of tests, e.g. SEM observation, monotonic loading triaxial test, cyclic loading triaxial test etc. were conducted. Test results show that this unusual material possesses some special properties, for instance, much higher specific gravity Gs (average Gs=4.444) as compared to common materials in geotechnical engineering. SEM observation unveils that the tested iron ore fines has a multi-layer, micro-porous structure which may affect its water retention ability under unsaturated states. The result from the undrained monotonic loading test indicates an angle of internal friction of 45.6° according to the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion. Interestingly, the peak strength and the residual strength were achieved at values of axial strain of approximately 2.5% and 13%, respectively, regardless of confining pressure among three undrained monotonic loading tests. The undrained response of tested iron ore fines to cyclic loading shows similar characteristics as those of common sands and the liquefaction resistance of this material defined based on the relationship between cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and number of cycle is not significantly affected by change of confining pressure.

    DEFORMATION CHARACTERISTICS OF GEOMATERIALS   6   299 - 306  2015  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A series of undrained cyclic loading tests of three types of saturated and unsaturated soils were conducted on a triaxial apparatus. To overcome the difficulties of this type of test, cell pressure control system to maintain constant p, membrane filter technique to measure pore water pressure and double cell system to measure volumetric strain (epsilon v) were introduced to the apparatus. Test results shown that the cell pressure control system reduced more than 60% variation of p which would be induced by applying vertical cyclic loading. The membrane filter technique could measure negative pore water pressure in a prompt manner and as a result suction of the unsaturated specimens was well monitored under the 0.1 Hz cyclic loading. The time delay problem of electric transducer employed in the epsilon v measurement system, which may bring significant system error, was recognized and the measurement error of epsilon(v) was discussed. Regarding the resistance against liquefaction of the unsaturated soils, the test results shown increase in resistance with reduction in degree of saturation and the p-constant condition was necessary to correctly evaluate the resistance for the unsaturated soils.

    UNSATURATED SOILS: RESEARCH & APPLICATIONS, VOLS 1 AND 2     973 - 979  2014  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    This paper presents results from measurement of SWCC (Soil Water Characteristic Curve) of two types of iron ore fines. SWCC tests in both high suction range (103 kPa-10(6) kPa) and low suction range (0.1 kPa-100 kPa) were conducted. In low suction range, pressure plate apparatuses were employed, on which either a high air entry ceramic disk or a membrane filter was installed. In high suction range, the vapor equilibrium technique and the method of electric conductivity were applied. As a reference, SWCC tests on natural material mixtures simulating gradations of iron ore fines were also carried out. Comparisons were made between SWCCs obtained by using the ceramic disc and the membrane filter as well as SWCCs of the iron ore fine and its reference sand. In addition, effects of gradation and density of tested materials on the SWCC were discussed.

    Abstract

    In geological disposal for high-level radioactive waste, bentonites are planned to be used as the buffer material surrounding radioactive waste in Japan. Bentonite-based buffer material requires low water permeation for delaying contact between groundwater and the waste. Because of the extremely long half-lives of radionuclides of the waste, several barriers including the buffer material are designed to maintain workability of the geological disposal facility for tens of thousands of years. However, in the disposal circumstances with high water pressure, high temperature and various groundwater chemistries, occurrence of cementation and consequently property changes of the bentonite in the buffer are concerned. Few studies are available to understand the effect of cementation on bentonite properties because of the difficulties of simulating long-term alteration process experimentally. From the viewpoint of natural analogues, cementation process of the buffer may be regarded as part of formation process of bentonite ore. Thus, in this study, permeability tests were conducted on three kinds of Na-type bentonite ores with different geological ages from respectively, Japan, USA, and China to see the influence of cementation on permeability of bentonites. For comparison, undisturbed and reconstituted specimens were prepared. The results show that difference of hydraulic conductivities of the undisturbed and reconstituted specimens for each ore is less than one order, and this difference seems not to correlate with the geological age of the ores. From these results, the influence of cementation on the hydraulic properties of bentonite buffer seems small. It may also be a counteracted result by cementation effects in terms of restriction of the swelling of montmorillonite and blockage of water flow paths.

     View Summary

    With a newly developed swelling pressure apparatus, swelling pressure tests were conducted to elucidate initial water content and specimen preparation method effects on swelling pressures (swelling pressure evaluation curves and equilibrium swelling pressure) of Kunigel-V1 bentonite. X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests were conducted to investigate initial water content and specimen preparation method effects on basal spacing, including basal spacings of specimens before and after wetting. Experiments produced the following results. 1) The swelling pressure evaluation curve changed from a line with peak and valley to a line with early stage steady rise as increasing initial water content. 2) Initial water content and specimen preparation method exerted no apparent effect on the equilibrium swelling pressure. 3) Basal spacing of specimen before wetting was affected not only by the initial water content but also by specimen preparation method. 4) The initial water content did not influence basal spacing of specimen after wetting. It was only affected by the specimen preparation method. Based on the swelling pressure evaluation curve patterns, swelling mechanisms during saturation for specimens with different initial conditions were discussed. Initial water content and specimen preparation method effects on equilibrium swelling pressure were explained carefully with basal spacings.

  • Experimental study on swelling pressure of low dry density compacted bentonites during saturation combining X-ray diffraction

    Kunlin Ruan, Hideo Komine, Hailong Wang, Daichi Ito, Takahiro Gotoh

    Canadian Geotechnical Journal   60 ( 5 ) 566 - 579  2022.11  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    A multi-ring and a newly developed swelling pressure apparatus were adopted for measuring swelling pressure during saturation of three low dry density bentonites (sodium type: MX-80 and Kunigel-V1; calcium type: Kunibond). Subsequently, slices from the multi-ring were observed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) tests to detect basal spacing changes. Distance between particles was calculated from basal spacing database. Relations between microstructural changes, including basal spacing and distance between particles, and swelling pressure are discussed. Results show that calcium type bentonite has greater swelling pressure than sodium type bentonites during saturation. When bentonites have the same cation type, lower montmorillonite content bentonite obtains smaller swelling pressures than those of high montmorillonite content ones. Basal spacing increases drastically first, then maintains a stable value during saturation. All three bentonites gradually reach 3 w state along with wetting (MX-80 and Kunigel-V1: 1-3 w; Kunibond: 2-3 w). The distance between particles increases with the saturation time. During saturation, swelling pressure generally rises with increasing basal spacing and increasing distance between particles. The mechanism for swelling pressure development is discussed.

     View Summary

    Sand-bentonite mixtures with bentonite content of 10-30% had been planned to handle low-level radioactive waste in Japan, because of its low permeability. Hydraulic conductivity of sand–bentonite mixture depends on the bentonite type, bentonite content, initial water content, and other factors. Given this background, falling head permeability tests were conducted on sand–bentonite mixture by varying the compaction energy for specimen preparation, initial water content (10–20%), and bentonite content (15– 30%). For these tests, the hydraulic gradient of 25-500 was set. Consequently, the hydraulic conductivities were 10-8 – 10-13 m/s for all tested conditions. Correlation between the hydraulic conductivity and the effective montmorillonite dry density (montmorillonite mass divided by the sum of montmorillonite, air, water volume), which is often used to correlate the hydraulic conductivity of bentonite, was found. Correlation was also found between the hydraulic conductivity and a new index designated as the effective montmorillonite wet density (sum of montmorillonite and water mass / sum of montmorillonite, air, water volume). Effective montmorillonite wet density reveals differences in the specimen structural distribution through consideration of the initial water content.

  • Experimental study on effect by cementation on self-sealing capability of bentonite buffer material

     View Summary

    In Japanese project for disposal of high-level radioactive waste, the self-sealing capability of bentonite buffer material, which results from the swelling deformation to fill the gaps between waste container and wall of disposal pit, must be retained thousands of years. However, because of the effect of high pressures, occurrence of cementation and property changes of the buffer material are a concern. Few studies had examined cementation effects because of the difficulties for simulating long-term alteration process experimentally. In this paper, swelling properties of consolidated buffer are regarded as similar as those of naturally consolidated bentonite ore. Therefore, three kinds of bentonite ores were used for experiments to elucidate influences of cementation on self-sealing capabilities. Undisturbed and reconstituted specimens were prepared to assess their swelling pressures after filling a preset gap in a swelling pressure apparatus. Results show that for Japanese ores, the swelling pressure of undisturbed specimens is about half that of reconstituted specimens. For American and Chinese ores, the difference of swelling pressure is greater when the preset gap is smaller. Results imply that effects of cementation on self-sealing capability are smaller when swelling deformation is allowed.

  • A System to Measure Permeability of Unsaturated Soils using Local Pin-Type Sensors in Triaxial Apparatus

    Jaylord U. Tan Tian, Junichi Koseki, Hailong Wang, Hiroyuki Kyokawa, Takeshi Sato

    Japanese Geotechnical Society Special Publication   7 ( 2 ) 305 - 309  2019.04  [Refereed]

     View Summary

    <p>This paper describes development of a triaxial permeameter apparatus for measuring coefficient of permeability of unsaturated soils by directly measuring the head difference between two points in a specimen using local pin-type sensors. The local pin-type sensors are made of stainless steel wrapped with membrane filter to measure suction. The apparatus includes the measurement of inflow rate by Mariotte's bottle and a weighing scale, while outflow rate is measured by burettes and a differential pressure transducer (DPT). Typical results show that the steady state flow condition can be achieved by using membrane filters to allow passage of water but prevent flow of free air. At steady state flow condition and reasonably stable measured head by the local pin-type sensors, permeability values were obtained by simple average.</p>

  • ベントナイトの間隙水密度のデータベースの構築

    2023  

     View Summary

    本研究では,高レベル放射性廃棄物の最終処分に使用すると検討されているベントナイト(粘土の一種類)に吸着される水の密度を明らかにすることを目的とする.高レベル放射性廃棄物(以下:HLW)は,原子力発電所の使用済燃料を回収する際に発生した廃液を固化したガラス固化体を指す.HLW最終処分の有力案として,HLWを地下300m以深の岩盤地層に埋設するとともに周辺に多重バリアを設けることで,数万年にわたり生物圏から隔離する「地層処分」が挙げられている.地層処分システムの多重バリアは,天然バリアの岩盤および人工バリアのガラス固化体・金属容器・ベントナイト系緩衝材で構成され,HLWを超長期にわたって閉じ込めることが期待されている.緩衝材の主要構成材料であるベントナイトは,吸水による体積膨張特性(吸水膨潤特性)を持つ.設置後の地下水の浸入によって,緩衝材が膨潤し,金属容器・緩衝材・岩盤の境界間隙を充填し,多重バリアを一体化し放射性核種の移行を遅延させさるという重要な役割が求められる.多重バリアの一体化は,設計された処分システムの機能発揮の前提でもあり,過去の研究では一体化までのバリア材の挙動を検討されていた.しかし,ベントナイトに浸入した水(間隙水)の密度が自由水密度(=1 g/cm3)を大幅に超えることに対して,過去の研究・検討では取り組まれなかった.それは,間隙水密度を計測する実験法が確立されておらず,正確な計測が不可能であったためである.緩衝材を構成するベントナイトの間隙水密度は,最も基礎的なパラメータの一つであり,それを明らかにするのは,処分施設の安全性評価や閉塞期間の検討,地下水の変動・バリア材の変形挙動の予測などに対して必要不可欠である.研究代表者は,ベントナイトの間隙水密度を計測する実験手法を改良しており,本研究では,既存と改良方法に対する体系的検討による実験方法の確立と,数種類のベントナイトを実験対象とする間隙水密度のデータベース化を目指す.

     View Summary

    Asthe global urgency to stem global warming increases, the need to implementnegative emissions technologies grows with it. This study takes intoconsideration one such proposed desalination brine conversion technology,capable of making use of its product magnesium oxide (MgO) to mineralize CO2and produce magnesium carbonate (MgCO3). Recognizing thenecessity to find feasible applications for the output non-plastic MgCO3,this paper outlines the study done to evaluate the performance of MgCO3as a geomaterial by taking into account the material properties and unconfinedcompressive strength (qu) characteristics of a clayey soil mixedwith 0-40 wt.% MgCO3. It was found that further addition of MgCO3progressively reduced maximum dry density and increased plastic and liquidlimits, and optimum water content. It was also noted that the quof soil mixtures with 10-30 wt.% MgCO3 were much greater than thatof pure soil (i.e. 0 wt.% case). The probable reasons were attributed to thesuction effect being lower the pure soil due to the greater-than optimum watercontent used, and the effect instead being higher in mixtures due to increasein finer particles.&nbsp;
