The method CPCM1 combineschemical stabilization and vacuum preloading （VP）, while CPCM2 is similar to CPCM1 but includes boththe application of surcharge and use of geo-bags to provide confinement during surcharge preloading.The key advantage of CPCM2 using geo-bags is that the surcharge can be immediately applied on thechemically stabilized slurries. Two types of geo-bags were investigated under simulated land filling anddyke conditions, respectively. The test results show that the shear strength （cu） of treated slurry byCPCM2 is generally much higher than that by CPCM1. Besides, the use of CPCM2 can significantly reducethe treatment time due to the short drainage paths created by geo-bags. Overall, CPCM2 allows fasterconsolidation and higher preloading that help to achieve higher mechanical properties of the stabilizedslurry. There are consistent relationships between cU and water content of slurries treated by CPCM2.Several important observations were also made based on comparisons of experimental data. 2015 Institute of Rock and Soil Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The main feature of this approach is to use the interpolation schemes in local supported domains based on radial basis functions. As a result, this method is local and hence the system matrix is banded which is very attractive for practical engineering problems. In the numerical examination, RPCM is applied to solve non-linear convection-diffusion 2D Burgers equations. The results obtained by RPCM demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method for solving transient fluid dynamic problems. A fictitious point scheme is adopted to improve the solution accuracy while Neumann boundary conditions exist. The meshfree feature of the nresent method is verv attractive in solving comnutational fluid nroblems.展开更多
