More Details: Using coal gangue as subgrade filler can not only solve the environmental problems of coal mine waste accumulation but also decrease the subgrade cost, which has important theoretical and practical significance. A series of cyclic triaxial tests was carried out using the large-scale dynamic and static triaxial apparatus (LSDSTA) to investigate the permanent deformation (ε) of coal gangue subgrade filler (CGSF) under cyclic loading. Experimental grading was designed by using the fractal model grading equation (FMGE), and then well-grading limits of CGSF were captured. The relationship curve between ε and the numbers of cyclic loading (N) can be divided into three stages, i.e., the rapid growth phase, the deceleration growth phase, and the approaching stability phase. N = 1000 can be used as the criterion for reaching the stable stage of CGSF. The effect of confining pressure (σ3′) on ε is related to the level of σ3′. The effect of σ3′ on ε is significant when σ3′ is smaller, whereas the influence of σ3′ on ε is smaller when σ3′ is larger. Furthermore, the influence of grading (Df) on ε of coal gangue samples is significant. With the increase of Df, ε first increases and then decreases, reflecting that there is an obvious optimal grading for coal gangue samples under cyclic loading. Moreover, the effect of compaction degree (Dc) on ε of CGSF depends on the level of Dc. ε is hardly affected when Dc is smaller, whereas increasing Dc has a significant effect on restraining ε when Dc is bigger. In addition, according to the analysis of the permanent deformation curve for CGSF, the unified calculation model of permanent deformation for CGSF under cyclic loading is established. Compared with the existing permanent deformation models, the proposed model in this paper can better describe the permanent deformation of CGSF under cyclic loading. Finally, the model parameters are analyzed, and the model is verified.

The effect of σ 3 ′ on ε is significant when σ 3 ′ is smaller, whereas the influence of σ 3 ′ on ε is smaller when σ 3 ′ is larger. Furthermore, the influence of grading ( D f ) on ε of coal gangue samples is significant. With the increase of D f , ε first increases and then decreases, reflecting that there is an obvious optimal grading for coal gangue samples under cyclic loading. Moreover, the effect of compaction degree ( D c ) on ε of CGSF depends on the level of D c . ε is hardly affected when D c is smaller, whereas increasing D c has a significant effect on restraining ε when D c is bigger. In addition, according to the analysis of the permanent deformation curve for CGSF, the unified calculation model of permanent deformation for CGSF under cyclic loading is established.

Introduction</hd> <p>Coal gangue is a waste material associated with the process of coal mine construction, coal exploitation, accounting for 15–20% of coal production. Now, more than 6 billion tons of coal gangue are accumulated on the surface of mining areas in China, and its emission has leaped to the top of China's industrial solid waste [[<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref1">1</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref2">3</reflink>]]. However, compared with the amount of released coal gangue, the utilization rate of coal gangue in China is low, resulting in a large amount of surplus coal gangue piled up on the useful land for a long time. The long-term accumulation of coal gangue has caused great harm to the surrounding environment [[<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref3">4</reflink>]]: ① A large number of useful land resources (such as cultivated land, forest land, and mining sites) are occupied. ② Dust particles easily float in the air, and coal gangue self-ignition produces many harmful gases, resulting in serious air pollution. ③ The piled-high coal gangue easily causes landslides, debris flow and other geological disasters. ④ Accumulated coal gangue seriously affects the surrounding landscape environment. Therefore, the effective utilization of coal gangue has great theoretical and practical significance.</p> <p>The effective utilization of coal gangue waste has always been a hot topic that concerns many scholars. The physical and chemical characteristics of coal gangue are similar to natural gravel, so coal gangue can be broken down into a coarse aggregate of concrete, which can decrease the exploitation of natural gravel but can also save costs and avoid a series of hazards caused by it [[<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref4">6</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib8" id="ref5">8</reflink>]]. Hence, the study on coal gangue concrete has been focused on by many scholars in recent years [[<reflink idref="bib9" id="ref6">9</reflink>]], and the results indicate that the mechanical behaviors of coal gangue concrete, made by replacing a certain amount of gravel with coal gangue, are close to that of ordinary concrete of the same grade. Zhao et al. [[<reflink idref="bib11" id="ref7">11</reflink>]] investigated the effect of partial replacement of fly ash with natural loess on gangue-cemented paste backfill (GCPB) performance. Gangue-cemented paste backfill specimens with varying loess doses were produced, and then the rheological properties, macroscopic strength, and microstructural evolution of GCPB were examined. Zhao et al. [[<reflink idref="bib12" id="ref8">12</reflink>]] studied the activation and hydration mechanisms of composite activated coal gangue geopolymer, and the results show that coal gangue can be employed as a primary cementitious material after being modified by the proposed activation method. Su et al. [[<reflink idref="bib13" id="ref9">13</reflink>]] studied the influence of thermally activated coal gangue powder on the structure of the interfacial transition zone in concrete.</p> <p>However, compared with traditional concrete, the investigation of the coal gangue concrete still shows many deficiencies. The consumption of coal gangue used as subgrade filler is tremendous, which can effectively solve the problem of coal gangue accumulation. Chen et al. [[<reflink idref="bib14" id="ref10">14</reflink>]] studied the effect of the compactive effort and initial particle gradings on the particle size distribution of mineral waste slag based on screening tests and analyzed the effects of different factors such as the compactive effort, moisture content, coarse grain content (CGC, mass proportion of particles with sizes greater than 5 mm), and forming methods on the engineering properties of mineral waste slag to determine the reasonable roadbed construction parameters. In addition, the research on coarse aggregate subgrade filler has a great reference value for coal gangue subgrade filler [[<reflink idref="bib15" id="ref11">15</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib17" id="ref12">17</reflink>]].</p> <p>As mentioned above, coal gangue is widely used as subgrade filler. The coal gangue subgrade is affected by the traffic dynamic loading in the actual environment. However, there is little research reporting the dynamic behaviors of coal gangue, especially considering coarse particles, used as subgrade filler under traffic cyclic loading. Hence, a series of cyclic triaxial tests was carried out using the LSDSTA to research the permanent deformation of CGSF (the maximum particle size is 60 mm) under cyclic loading. The purposes of this study are to (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref13">1</reflink>) study the permanent deformation of coal gangue used as subgrade filler so as to realize resource utilization, (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref14">2</reflink>) explore the effect of <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mi>σ</mi><mn>3</mn><mo>′</mo></msubsup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>c</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> on the permanent deformation to further understand the mechanical properties of CGSF, and (<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref15">3</reflink>) establish the unified model of permanent deformation in order to apply this to different types of permanent deformation.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-3">2. Laboratory Testing Program</hd> <p></p> <hd id="AN0163038013-4">2.1. Tested Materials and Apparatus</hd> <p>The original tested material of the specimens was crushed coal gangue, which was collected from a coal mine in Xiangtan city. The waste coal gangue in this mine is shown in Figure 1. Nearly 15 tons of coal gangue were transported to the laboratory for indoor tests and research. The original particle size of coal gangue not only contains fine particles less than 0.075 mm, but also includes stones of tens of centimeters. It should be noted that the maximum particle size allowed by the test equipment in this test does not exceed 60 mm. Considering that the specimens in this test were prepared manually, CGSF with particle sizes greater than 60 mm were removed. The color of coal gangue particles is black and black-gray, and the coal gangue has not experienced spontaneous combustion. Coal gangue particles are angular, sharp, and hard with a rough surface and an irregular shape. The CGSF was dried to constant weight in an oven at 105–110 °C (more than 24 h), and then the standard sieve tests with aperture sizes of 60, 40, 20, 10, 5, 2, 0.5, and 0.075 mm were carried out. Coal gangue particles of each group after sieving tests were displayed in Figure 2. According to the JTG 3430-2020 Chinese standard for soil test method [[<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref16">18</reflink>]], the natural moisture content of CGSF is 2.20–2.98%, the liquid limit, the plastic limit, and the plasticity index of fine particles are 31.46%, 20.57%, and 10.89%, respectively. The coal gangue of this coal mine mainly includes sandstone, limestone, shale, and mudstone.</p> <p>An LSDSTA manufactured by Chengdu Donghua Zhuoyue Technology Co., Ltd. (Chengdu, China), was used in this test, which is shown in Figure 3. The specimen sizes allowed by the LSDSTA are <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>D</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 300 mm and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>H</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 600 mm. The ratio between the triaxial specimen diameter and the maximum particle size should not be smaller than 5 [[<reflink idref="bib19" id="ref17">19</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref18">21</reflink>]]; therefore, the maximum particle size allowed by LSDSTA in this test is no greater than 60 mm, and then the effect of specimen size can be neglected. The LSDSTA mainly includes the following parts: (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref19">1</reflink>) a data acquisition system through a computer, (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref20">2</reflink>) a testing machine control system, (<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref21">3</reflink>) a triaxial pressure cover, (<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref22">4</reflink>) an axial loading system, (<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref23">5</reflink>) a volumetric strain measurement system, and (<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref24">6</reflink>) a sample preparation mold, which are shown in Figure 3. The LSDSTA can automatically collect test parameters, such as axial load and displacement, confining pressure, pore pressure, and volumetric strain, as well as realize the static shear test and cyclic dynamic loading test. In addition, the large-scale triaxial tests and the same specimen size were widely used in the previous studies, e.g., Cai et al. [[<reflink idref="bib20" id="ref25">20</reflink>]] and Leng et al. [[<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref26">21</reflink>]], which guarantees the reliability of this apparatus.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-5">2.2. Specimen Preparation and Testing Program</hd> <p>The only way to characterize the grading of granular materials is to use the grading curve. The grading curve contains a large amount of data; however, it lacks quantitative indicators. Hence, it is difficult to make the comparison of the particle size distribution with different gradings of granular materials. In order to completely express the grading of particles and quantitatively analyze the relationship between grading and relevant mechanical indexes, the grading of granular materials is quantified by establishing the grading equations with mathematical formulas, which has great significance for engineering practice and academic research. In this test, the method of artificial sample preparation according to FMGE was used, and the FMGE is defined as [[<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref27">22</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib24" id="ref28">24</reflink>]]</p> <p>(<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref29">1</reflink>) <ephtml> <math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>P</mi><mi>i</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><msup><mrow><mrow><mfrac><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mi>i</mi></msub></mrow><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></mfrac></mrow></mrow><mrow><mn>3</mn><mo>−</mo><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></msup><mo>×</mo><mn>100</mn><mo>%</mo></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml></p> <p>where <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> represents the fractal dimension, <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mi>i</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> presents the particle size (mm), <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>P</mi><mi>i</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> denotes the cumulative mass percentage with particle size less than <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mi>i</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> (%), and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> indicates the maximum particle size (mm).</p> <p>The control parameters of well grading for CGSF are the coefficient of uniformity ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>U</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> ) and the coefficient of curvature ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>C</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> ), and the calculation formulas are as follows [[<reflink idref="bib25" id="ref30">25</reflink>]]:</p> <p>(<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref31">2</reflink>) <ephtml> <math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>u</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>60</mn></mrow></msub></mrow><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></mfrac></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml></p> <p>(<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref32">3</reflink>) <ephtml> <math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>c</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mrow><msup><mrow><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>30</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup></mrow><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow></msub><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>60</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></mfrac></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml></p> <p>where <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>60</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>30</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>d</mi><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> refer to the particle size corresponding to the passing percentage of 60%, 30%, and 10% in the grading curve, respectively (mm).</p> <p>CGSF with well grading satisfies <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>u</mi></msub><mo>≥</mo><mn>5</mn></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>1</mn><mo>≤</mo><msub><mi>C</mi><mi>c</mi></msub><mo>≤</mo><mn>3</mn></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> .

A cylindrical specimen with <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>D</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 300 mm and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>H</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 600 mm was utilized in this test; <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>D</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>H</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> are the diameter and height of the specimen, respectively. According to the Chinese Standard of Soils for Highway Engineering [[<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref37">18</reflink>]], the maximum dry density of the specimen can be obtained. Compaction degree, which was widely used for the triaxial test and situ construction [[<reflink idref="bib27" id="ref38">27</reflink>]], is calculated as follows:</p> <p>(<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref39">5</reflink>) <ephtml> <math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>c</mi></msub><mo>=</mo><mfrac><mi>ρ</mi><mrow><msub><mi>ρ</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></mfrac><mo>×</mo><mn>100</mn></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml></p> <p>where <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ρ</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi></mrow></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> denotes the maximum dry density ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="normal">g</mi><mo>/</mo><msup><mrow><mi>cm</mi></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> ), <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ρ</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is the dry density of the specimen ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi mathvariant="normal">g</mi><mo>/</mo><msup><mrow><mi>cm</mi></mrow><mn>3</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> ), and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>c</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> represents the compaction degree (%).</p> <p>In this test, the compaction degree was used to control the preparation of specimens and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>c</mi></msub><mo>=</mo></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> 90%, 93%, and 96% were adopted. In addition, the compaction degree meets the requirements of the road base and subbase materials [[<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref40">18</reflink>]].</p> <p>Figure 5 shows the process of the large triaxial tests. First, the above drying CGSF (as displayed in Figure 2) should be well mixed according to the designed grading curve (as shown in Figure 4). The specimen prepared in this test was too large and heavy at the laboratory. Therefore, the specimen was compacted with a compaction hammer in a mold in five layers (as shown in Figure 5a). Before placing CGSF on the next layer, the surface of the previously compacted layer was scraped to a depth of about 20 mm to guarantee well-interlocking vertically adjacent layers, just as in other studies [[<reflink idref="bib20" id="ref41">20</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib29" id="ref42">29</reflink>]]. The target compaction degree of the CGSF specimen was reached by controlling the thickness of each individual layer and the mass of added CGSF. After compaction, a rubber membrane was used to enclose the specimen, and the top and bottom of the specimen were tied with rubber ropes. Figure 5b displays the prepared sample.</p> <p>Then, the specimen was put in the triaxial pressure cover. All of the specimens were saturated by back pressure before loading, as described by Kong et al. [[<reflink idref="bib31" id="ref43">31</reflink>]], Cai et al. [[<reflink idref="bib20" id="ref44">20</reflink>]], Chen et al. [[<reflink idref="bib32" id="ref45">32</reflink>]], and Wu et al. [[<reflink idref="bib33" id="ref46">33</reflink>]]. The specimens were considered completely saturated when the pore pressure coefficient <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>B</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> was larger than 0.95. After that, the required effective confining pressure was applied to the specimen to complete the isotropic consolidation.</p> <p>The research shows that traffic loading is different from the sine wave, but very similar to the half-sine wave [[<reflink idref="bib34" id="ref47">34</reflink>]]. Therefore, the half-sine wave was used to simulate the traffic cyclic dynamic loading. The dynamic loading frequency was chosen as 1 Hz in these tests, which was also used in [[<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref48">21</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib34" id="ref49">34</reflink>]]. This paper mainly focuses on the permanent deformation of CGSF, and the confining pressures (i.e., effective consolidation stress), <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msubsup><mi>σ</mi><mn>3</mn><mo>'</mo></msubsup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , of 50, 100, and 150 <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>kPa</mi></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> were selected in this test. The cyclic dynamic loading in railway subgrade is generally distributed between 35 kPa and 185 kPa [[<reflink idref="bib35" id="ref50">35</reflink>]]. Therefore, the axial dynamic stress amplitude was taken as 180 kPa in the separate loading test of each sample, and each specimen was loaded with 30,000 numbers of half-sine wave separately in this test. In addition, Wang et al. [[<reflink idref="bib37" id="ref51">37</reflink>]] studied the permanent deformation of reinforced gravelly soil filler under cyclic loading with dynamic stress amplitudes of 90 kPa and 135 kPa.</p> <p>The test scheme design is shown in Table 1. The large-scale triaxial test can investigate the mechanical properties with large-size particles, which is closer to the engineering practice. Hence, the large-scale triaxial test has been widely used in recent years. Three groups of parallel tests were carried out at the same time under each test condition, and one group was randomly selected for key analysis. The loading process in this test is shown in Figure 6.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-6">3. Permanent Deformation Analysis</hd> <p>The monitoring data show that the permanent deformation of the subgrade under the traffic cyclic loading is very considerable and even has an obvious impact on the normal operation of the project [[<reflink idref="bib36" id="ref52">36</reflink>]]. Therefore, accurate analysis and prediction of the permanent deformation for the subgrade have important theoretical and practical significance for the normal use and safe operation of the completed project and for the guidance of future project construction.</p> <p>According to the theory of elastoplastic mechanics [[<reflink idref="bib35" id="ref53">35</reflink>]], the axial strain of a coal gangue sample under cyclic loading includes elastic strain <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>e</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> and plastic strain <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>p</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , namely:</p> <p>(<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref54">6</reflink>) <ephtml> <math display="block" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ε</mi><mn>1</mn></msub><mo>=</mo><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>e</mi></msup><mo>+</mo><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>p</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml></p> <p>where <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>ε</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> represents the axial strain of the specimen; <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>e</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> denotes the elastic strain; and <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msup><mi>ε</mi><mi>p</mi></msup></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> indicates plastic strain.</p> <p>The elastic strain will recover during the loading and unloading process, while the plastic strain cannot recover and will gradually accumulate, resulting in the failure of the sample. Therefore, the cumulative plastic strain causes permanent deformation, and the permanent deformation ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> ) studied in this paper is the cumulative plastic strain under cyclic loading. The calculation diagram is shown in Figure 7.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-7">3.1. Effect of Confining Pressure on the Permanent Deformation</hd> <p>According to the above test scheme, the relationship between the permanent deformation ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> ) and the numbers of cyclic loading (<emph>N</emph>) with different confining pressures is shown in Figure 8. The following can be seen from Figure 8: (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref55">1</reflink>) The relationship curve between <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> and <emph>N</emph> can be divided into three stages. The first stage is the rapid growth phase, and the curve has approximately linear growth. The second stage is the deceleration growth phase; the curve growth rate slows down obviously, and the curve gradient decreases gradually. The third stage is the approaching stability phase, and the permanent deformation closes to stable. (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref56">2</reflink>) As observed in Figure 8, <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> decreases by 2.79% when the confining pressure increases from 50 kPa to 100 kPa, whereas <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> decreases by only 0.30% when the confining pressure increases from 100 kPa to 200 kPa. Hence, the effect of confining pressure on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is related to the level of confining pressure. When the confining pressure is smaller, its effect on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is significant, whereas when the confining pressure is larger, its influence on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is smaller. This also reflects that the effect of traffic cyclic loading on subgrade decreases with the increase of subgrade depth.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-8">3.2.

The abovementioned laws apply to the final stability relationship curve between <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> and <emph>N</emph>. Therefore, <emph>N</emph> = 1000 can be used as a criterion for reaching the stable stage of CGSF, which can guide the later test loading and coal gangue subgrade engineering. (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref58">2</reflink>) Under the condition of maximum fine particle content ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 2.61), the coal gangue sample will fail ( <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> reaches 15%) rapidly when <emph>N</emph> is very small (<emph>N</emph> = 535). Moreover, in these four groups of tests, <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> of the coal gangue sample is the smallest when <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> = 2.13. Hence, the influence of grading, i.e., particle size distribution, on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> of coal gangue samples is significant.

Wu et al. [[<reflink idref="bib26" id="ref59">26</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib38" id="ref60">38</reflink>]] studied the compaction characteristics of coarse aggregates for embankment dams using the surface vibration compaction test and lateral compression test, which showed that there is an optimal grading of coarse aggregate. In addition, through the large-scale vibration compaction test and static shear test, the authors of [[<reflink idref="bib39" id="ref61">39</reflink>]] also investigated the influence of grading on the compaction and strength of CGSF, and then the optimal grading, i.e., <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mn>2.04</mn><mo>≤</mo><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub><mo>≤</mo><mn>2.55</mn></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , was captured using FMGE. The reason for this phenomenon is related to the contact relationship and interlocking relationship between coarse and fine particles.

[[<reflink idref="bib43" id="ref97">43</reflink>]] were selected to verify the correctness of the unified model of permanent deformation in this paper. Figure 14a–c display the fitting effect of the test data in the above research and the permanent deformation model established in this paper. It can be seen from Figure 14 that the permanent deformation model established in this paper can describe the permanent deformation test results in the existing research well, thus verifying the correctness of this model. In addition, three types of the permanent deformation curve in Figure 14 can be described well by the unified model of permanent deformation in this study, which shows the universal applicability of the model in this paper.</p> <hd id="AN0163038013-15">5. Conclusions</hd> <p>The following conclusions can be drawn from the investigation described above.</p> <p></p> <ulist> <item> (<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref98">1</reflink>) Experimental grading was designed by using FMGE, and the well-grading limits of CGSF were captured based on the FMGE, i.e., the grading is uniform when 1.89 ≤ <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> ≤ 2.63.</item> <p></p> <item> (<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref99">2</reflink>) The relationship curve between <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> and <emph>N</emph> can be divided into three stages, i.e., the rapid growth phase, the deceleration growth phase, and the approaching stability phase. <emph>N</emph> = 1000 can be used as a criterion for reaching the stable stage of CGSF, which can guide the later test loading and coal gangue subgrade engineering.</item> <p></p> <item> (<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref100">3</reflink>) The effect of confining pressure on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is related to the level of confining pressure. The effect of confining pressure on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is significant when the confining pressure is smaller, whereas the influence of confining pressure on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is smaller when the confining pressure is larger.</item> <p></p> <item> (<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref101">4</reflink>) The influence of grading on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> of coal gangue samples is significant. With the increase of <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><msub><mi>D</mi><mi>f</mi></msub></mrow></semantics></math> </ephtml> , <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> first increases and then decreases, reflecting that there is an obvious optimal grading for coal gangue samples under cyclic loading.</item> <p></p> <item> (<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref102">5</reflink>) The effect of compaction degree on <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> of CGSF depends on the level of compaction degree. <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> is hardly affected when the compaction degree is smaller, whereas increasing compaction degree has a significant effect on restraining <ephtml> <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mi>ε</mi></semantics></math> </ephtml> when the compaction degree is bigger.</item> <p></p> <item> (<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref103">6</reflink>) According to the analysis of the permanent deformation curve for CGSF, the unified calculation model of permanent deformation for CGSF under cyclic loading was established. Compared with the existing permanent deformation models, the proposed model in this paper can better describe the permanent deformation of CGSF under cyclic loading. Then, the model parameters were analyzed and the model was verified.</item> </ulist> <hd id="AN0163038013-16">Figures and Tables</hd> <p>Graph: Figure 1 The waste coal gangue of a coal mine.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 2 Coal gangue particles after sieving tests.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 3 The large-scale dynamic and static triaxial instrument.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 4 Particle size distribution of the tested materials.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 5 The process of the large triaxial tests: (a) compacting in the mold; (b) the prepared sample; (c) failed sample after the test.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 6 Loading process under cyclic loading.</p> <p>DIAGRAM: Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the permanent deformation calculation.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 8 The relationship between ε and N with different confining pressure values.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 9 Relationship between ε and N with different grading parameters.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 10 Evolution of ε versus N with different compaction degree values.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 11 Correlation coefficient comparison of permanent deformation models [[<reflink idref="bib35" id="ref104">35</reflink>], [<reflink idref="bib40" id="ref105">40</reflink>]].</p> <p>Graph: Figure 12 Comparison between the proposed model and the test curve: (a) under different confining pressure conditions, (b) under diverse compaction degree conditions, and (c) under various grading conditions.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 13 Model parameters analysis.</p> <p>Graph: Figure 14 Model validation.

  Data: Using coal gangue as subgrade filler can not only solve the environmental problems of coal mine waste accumulation but also decrease the subgrade cost, which has important theoretical and practical significance. A series of cyclic triaxial tests was carried out using the large-scale dynamic and static triaxial apparatus (LSDSTA) to investigate the permanent deformation (ε) of coal gangue subgrade filler (CGSF) under cyclic loading. Experimental grading was designed by using the fractal model grading equation (FMGE), and then well-grading limits of CGSF were captured. The relationship curve between ε and the numbers of cyclic loading (N) can be divided into three stages, i.e., the rapid growth phase, the deceleration growth phase, and the approaching stability phase. N = 1000 can be used as the criterion for reaching the stable stage of CGSF. The effect of confining pressure (σ3′) on ε is related to the level of σ3′. The effect of σ3′ on ε is significant when σ3′ is smaller, whereas the influence of σ3′ on ε is smaller when σ3′ is larger. Furthermore, the influence of grading (Df) on ε of coal gangue samples is significant. With the increase of Df, ε first increases and then decreases, reflecting that there is an obvious optimal grading for coal gangue samples under cyclic loading. Moreover, the effect of compaction degree (Dc) on ε of CGSF depends on the level of Dc. ε is hardly affected when Dc is smaller, whereas increasing Dc has a significant effect on restraining ε when Dc is bigger. In addition, according to the analysis of the permanent deformation curve for CGSF, the unified calculation model of permanent deformation for CGSF under cyclic loading is established. Compared with the existing permanent deformation models, the proposed model in this paper can better describe the permanent deformation of CGSF under cyclic loading. Finally, the model parameters are analyzed, and the model is verified.
