英文摘要 | Diatomaceous soil has geotechnical properties that differ fundamentally from those of common non-diatomaceous soils due to the presence of diatom microfossils with biological origins. Despite its dominant fines content, diatomaceous soil usually has high frictional shear resistance (approaching that of sand). Currently, the exact role of diatoms in controlling soil strength and underlying mechanisms remain obscure. Here, the frictional strength of diatomaceous soil is evaluated via angle-of-repose and direct simple shear tests on diatom-kaolin mixtures with differing diatom content. The microscale and nanoscale structures are characterised in detail via scanning-electron and atomic-force microscopy to establish how soil structure evolutes with diatom content and shear. For the studied diatom-kaolin mixtures, the angle of repose and internal frictional angle are high and increase with diatom content, especially when diatom content exceeds 20%. Diatom controls the frictional strength through its intricate morphology (cylindrical, saucer and disc shapes), very rough surface (hundreds of times rougher than flaky minerals), and stiff frustules with high Young's modulus. These features increase the particle coordination number and produce interparticle interlockings, both of which prevent particle rearrangement during shear and improve the frictional strength. This paper provides new insights into the multiscale structure of diatoms and improves the understanding of the shear strength of diatomaceous soils. |
