Abstract
The results of a laboratory investigation on the effects of drying and wetting on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a cement–bentonite mixture are presented. A large hysteresis along the hydraulic paths was found for what concerns both the water retention and the volume strains. This might be related to the shrinkage of cement bentonite clusters and to the development of micro-cracks, that were observed with a microscope along drying. Macroscopic cracks developed in a squat sample which had been cured for 28 days and was then left to dry in the laboratory environment, while this did not occur in an analogous sample cured for 60 days, possibly in virtue of its higher strength as detected through a pocket penetrometer. Water uptake after partial desaturation of squat and column samples took place in short times with respect to drying, but it did not allow for a full recovery of the initial water content. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) monitoring provided reliable water content determinations in the high range and correct indication of crack patterns at low water contents. A good reproduction of the experimental results was obtained with a coupled Thermo-Hydraulic model formulated on purpose.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
