Cementing Material on Mechanical Property of Calcareous Sand
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is difficult to obtain high quality samples of natural material covering a range of densities and degree of cementation, so study on the sample preparation techniques with similar mechanical properties of natural samples are very important. Experiments were carried out to study the effects of cementation of different materials on the mechanical properties of calcareous sand, e.g., the effects of contents and types of cementation materials on the strength and the characteristics of stress-strain. It is shown that Portland cement is a good cementation agent, compared to calcite and gypsum. The strength of calcareous sand increases with the increase of Portland cement content.

Experimental Study on Artificial Cemented Sand Prepared with Ordinary Portland Cement with Different Contents
Artificial cemented sand test samples were prepared by using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the cementing agent. Through uniaxial compression tests and consolidated drained triaxial compression tests, the stress-strain curves of the artificial cemented sand with different cementing agent contents (0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.08) under various confining pressures (0.00 MPa, 0.25 MPa, 0.50 MPa and ...

متن کاملThe Influence of Casing-Sand Adhesion on Cementing Bond Strength
In the petroleum industry, one of the most serious problems encountered during cementing is the failure at the bonding interface. Many measures including casing-sand adhesion have been developed to improve cementing bond strength. However, due to the lack of detailed study of the technique, many questions remain. The primary goal of this study is to investigate the influence of casing-sand adhe...

Calcareous sediments are located in temperate and tropical areas near offshore hydrocarbon industries and petrochemical reserves such as the Persian Gulf of Iran. These sediments have complicated physical properties which make them completely different from silicate soils. Carbonate sediments are mainly formed by the skeletal remains of marine organisms. Therefore, a wide variety of engineering...
متن کاملConservation of Sandy Calcareous Grassland: What Can Be Learned from the Land Use History?
Understanding the land use history has proven crucial for the conservation of biodiversity in the agricultural landscape. In southern Sweden, very small and fragmented areas of the disturbance-dependent habitat xeric sand calcareous grassland support a large number of threatened and rare plants and animals. In order to find out if historical land use could explain variation in present-day habit...
