Abstract

Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) as a green cement has superior mechanical properties such as high strength and quick gain of early strength, however the inherent brittleness has limited its applications where ductility is crucial. To enhance the strength and ductility, a novel hybrid fibre-reinforced MOC-based composite (FRMOC) is developed for the first time using polyethylene (PE) fibres and basalt fibres (BF) to reinforce the MOC. A systematic investigation of the effect of fibre dosage on the flowability, rheological properties, compressive strength, and tensile properties of the developed FRMOC is conducted in this study. The results revealed that the addition of fibre reduces flowability while increasing the yield stress and plastic viscosity. The 1-day compressive strength of the FRMOC reached 68.2-85.4% of the corresponding value at 28 days, demonstrating its high early strength characteristic. The mix with 1.25% PE and 0.75% BF exhibited the maximum compressive strength at all curing ages. All the mixes consistently demonstrated excellent tensile strength and tensile strain capability (ductility), with the tensile strength and tensile strain capacity of 10.95 MPa and 4.41% achieved for the mix of 2% PE fibre, and 8.49 MPa and 2.43% for the mix of 1.25% PE and 0.75% BF respectively. Moreover, a decline in strength characteristics and strain capacity was observed as BF percentages increased. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was further employed to investigate the morphological changes in the FRMOC matrix at the microscale to discover the fibre reinforcing mechanism.

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
