Laboratory Evaluation and Design of Construction and Demolition Wastes for Granular Base by Jin Yi, Chenghao Liang, Junfeng Qian, Jue Li, Yongsheng Yao

“…Meanwhile, the gradation design and the dominant aggregate size range were considered, and a physical disposal method was proposed to enhance the structural performance of the recycled material by replacing the skeleton of the recycled aggregate (RA) with high-quality limestone. The test results showed that (1) given the high absorbency and fragility of C&D wastes, its RA was not enough to provide the strength and stability required by the base; (2) the compaction characteristics of the RA are quite different from that of the limestone aggregate, but the final compaction effect is basically the same; (3) the replacement treatment proposed in this study is an effective approach to improve the performance of the recycled granular base because the breakage rate decreased by at least 28.2% and the mechanical properties increased by approximately 50% compared with that of the untreated specimen; and (4) when the limestone content reached 75%, the California bearing ratio and the resilient modulus of the graded B specimen exceeded 120% and 200 MPa, respectively, satisfying the pavement requirement in medium traffic.…”

Application scenarios and difficulties in network construction of digital mines in cement industry based on 5G by Huijie ZHAO, Xuezhi ZHANG, Dong XIE

“…The application and development of 5G in the field of cement mining has drawn attention.Cement factories, usually built around limestone mines, in which 5G network shows great value to be used for safe inspection by drones, UAV 3D modeling of mines, unmanned driving and remote control of mining vehicles, of excavators and other mobile services.Firstly, the main business scenarios and network requirements of 5G in cement industry mines was analyzed.Secondly, via the analysis of practical cases and test data of 5G cement mine network deployment, the difficulty of 5G network coverage in mines lies in the poor coverage rate and signal strength of 5G network in limestone mines, which are due to mountain shielding effect mined by hillside terraced fields.Finally, the difficulties of 5G mine network coverage were summarized from the aspects of supporting facilities, planning simulation and environmental dynamic change, and preliminary suggestions were given correspondingly.…”
