In this study, nanoindentation was conducted to extract the load-displacement behaviour and the nanomechanical properties of asphalt concrete across the mastic, matrix, and aggregate phases. Further, the performance of hydrated lime as an additive was assessed across the three phases. The hydrated lime containing samples have greater resistance to deformation in the mastic and matrix phases, in particular, the mastic. There is strong evidence suggesting that hydrated lime has the most potent effect on the mastic phase, with significant increase in hardness and stiffness.

Effects of different lengths and doses of raw and treated sisal fibers in the cement composite material.

Sisal fiber moisture sensitivity and degradation are treated by alkaline and pozzolanic methods, such as silica fume and kaolin surface coating. However, it is novel that the treatment of sisal fiber by calcined bentonite slurry can coat sisal fiber from moisture and protect it from cement hydration by consuming free lime and reducing cement matrix alkalinity. Therefore, the present study treated sisal fibers with calcined bentonite slurry and investigated the effect of using different lengths and doses of treated and raw sisal fibers in a mortar.

To improve the utilization rates of soda residue (SR) and fly ash (FA), reduce environmental pollution, and enhance the mechanical properties of marine clay (MC), this study proposes mixing SR, FA, and MC with cement and /or lime to prepare soda residue-fly ash stabilized soil (SRFSS). Using an orthogonal design for the proportions, the study analyzes the compaction performance, unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and shear strength of SRFSS. The influence of various factors on the mechanical properties of SRFSS was investigated through range and variance analyses.

Alite calcium sulfoaluminate (ACSA) cement is an innovative and environmentally friendly cement compared to ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The synthesis and hydration of ACSA clinkers doped with gradient sulfur were investigated. The clinker compositions and hydrated pastes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), isothermal calorimetry, mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze its mineral contents, hydration products, heat release, pore structure, and microstructure.

Article Synopsis
- The pipe-jacking method is effective for constructing underground structures but generates a significant amount of waste soil that requires individual treatment, different from shield-tunneling waste soils.
- In this study, pipe-jacking waste soils were enhanced using 7% polyacrylamide (PAM) and 12% sodium-based bentonite, leading to improved properties.
- The solidification of the waste soils with quick lime and fly ash was tested with various concentrations, showing that it increased soil strength by up to 16% while enhancing structural compactness and stability through the effects of PAM and sodium-based bentonite.

This paper investigates the flow performance and mechanical properties of underground gelled filling materials made from potash mine tailings, using lime as a gel. It demonstrates the feasibility of using lime as a gel, potash mine tailings as aggregate, and replacing water with potash mine tailings to create filling materials that meet design requirements for flow and compressive strength. The role of lime in the hardening process is explored through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared analysis.
