Abstract The composition and structure of asphalt mixture have a significant impact on its mechanical performance, the randomly distributed coarse aggregate impose stress state mortar. However, traditional method can only evaluate properties from macro scopic indexes, cannot show mortar in details. Therefore, based digital image processing technology, meso-finite element model is established, a...

Geosynthetic clay liners (GCLs) are often used as anti-seepage systems in landfills and at the bottom of tailing ponds. The performance GCL will change under different temperatures. In this study, bentonite was mixed with test solutions temperatures to measure basic indexes components analyze permeability. composition micro-structure were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, fluorescence spectrum, SE...

This article describes the insert sorting algorithm using macro instructions such as if-Macro (conditional branch macro instructions), for-loop macro instructions and While-Macro instructions etc. From the viewpoint of initialization, we generalize the halting and computing problem of the While-Macro. Generally speaking, it is difficult to judge whether the While-Macro is halting or not by way ...
