In the present study, three modification methods, including water washing, sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and styrene–acrylic emulsion, were used to modify waste rubber powders. The influence of rubber powders on the mechanical properties and frost resistance of magnesium oxychloride cement was examined, and the different modification mechanisms were also analyzed. Based on the analysis of hydrophilic properties after modification, styrene–acrylic emulsion achieved the best modification effect, while water washing produced the least modification effect; regarding mechanical properties, magnesium oxychloride cement mixed with NaOH modified rubber powders achieved the best modification effect, in which the 28 d flexural strength and compressive strength increased by 41.2% and 59.6%, respectively. During the freeze-thaw cycles, the mass loss of specimens was reduced with an increase in the content of rubber powders. In addition, after 300 cycles, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of the blank sample was about 28.12%, while that of the magnesium oxychloride cement mixed with NaOH modified rubber powders was approximately 42.38%. In general, the properties of the modified rubber powder–magnesium oxychloride cement composite material can meet the requirements for engineering materials, which provides a theoretical basis and technical support for the application of rubberized magnesium oxychloride cement.

In this paper, the possibility of retreated lithium slag (RTLS) with a high content of alkali, sulfate and fluoride as a partial replacement for fly ash (FA) to produce autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) was investigated. The influence of the RTLS dosage on the AAC performance were examined. The composition and microstructure of hydrates as well as the microstructure of the RTLS-FA-based AAC compositions were determined by XRD, FTIR, TG-DSC and SEM. The results illustrated that the incorporation of RTLS changed the crystal structure and the microstructure of the tobermorite. With increased RTLS contents, the morphology of tobermorite was changed, and the grass-like tobermorite gradually transformed into network-like tobermorite. The newly formed tobermorite improved the mechanical performance of the AAC. Compared with the RTLS10, the content of tobermorite in the RTLS30 increased by 8.6%.

This paper presents a new modification of the nanostructure of CaSO₄·2H₂O crystals containing nanopores. This nanoporous structure was achieved in phosphogypsum samples that were modified by sodium carbonate and alum. The effects of sodium carbonate and alum on the properties of phosphogypsum were studied. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were used to explore the micro-mechanism of the composite system. Subsequently, molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the nanopore structures of the modified CaSO₄·2H₂O. The results show that the addition of sodium carbonate and alum reduced the absolute dry density by 23.1% compared with the original phosphogypsum sample, with a bending strength of 2.1 MPa and compressive strength of 7.5 MPa. In addition, new hydration products, sodium sulfate and sodium aluminum sulfate, were formed in the sample doped with sodium carbonate and alum. A new nanostructure of CaSO₄·2H₂O crystal containing nanopores was formed. Molecular simulations show that the hydration products were responsible for the surface nanopore formation, which was the main factor leading to an increase in mechanical strength. The presented nanopore structure yields lightweight and high strength properties in the modified phosphogypsum.

In this study, the density of magnesium sulfate-based foam concrete was regulated by adjusting the foam dosage and the ratio of the foam stabilizer xanthan gum (XG) to the specialized foaming agent GX-7. The evolution of the pore structure was evaluated using bleeding rate tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This investigation further elucidated the critical roles of density variation and pore morphology in determining the mechanical performance (compressive strength) and thermal insulation efficiency of the material. The results indicate that increasing the addition of high-stability modified foam significantly increased the pore density of the ultra-lightweight foam concrete while simultaneously reducing the average pore diameter. These microstructural changes led to a progressive decrease in bulk density, accompanied by a corresponding reduction in compressive strength. When the foam dosage reached 100% of the MgO mass, the material’s density decreased to 136.3 kg/m³, with a corresponding thermal conductivity of 0.081 W/(m·K). SEM micrographs revealed that, under these conditions, the pores exhibited a uniform morphology and well-defined structure, indicating an optimized pore architecture. However, when the foaming multiplier exceeded 125%, the frequency of bubble rupture increased markedly.

To address the challenges in multimodal information integration and the inefficiency of knowledge transfer in the construction technology disclosure of deep foundation pit projects, an intelligent generation method based on graph rule reasoning and template mapping was proposed. First, a multi-level domain knowledge structure model was constructed by designing domain concepts and relationship types using the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Second, entity and attribute extraction was performed using regular expressions and the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model, while relationship extraction was conducted based on text structure combined with the BERT-CNN model. For image and video data, cross-modal data chains were built by adding keyword tags and generating URLs, utilizing semantic association rules to form a multimodal knowledge graph of the domain. Finally, based on graph reasoning and template mapping technology, the intelligent generation of construction disclosure schemes was realized. The case verification results showed that the proposed method significantly improved the structural integrity, procedural logical consistency, parameter traceability, knowledge reuse rate, environmental compliance, and parameter compliance of the schemes. This method not only promoted the standardization and efficiency of construction technology disclosure activities for deep foundation pit projects but also enhanced the visualization and intelligence level of the schemes.
