ABSTRACT Both 25-g single-size ground beef samples and 375-g composite ground beef samples were tested by a method combining an immunomagnetic separation (IMS) technique with a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system (IMS-ELISA). The results demonstrated that IMS-ELISA could detect the target, Escherichia coliO157:H7, at the level of 10−1 CFU/g of sample in either the 25- or 375-g sample size.

The consolidation of the composite ground under non-uniformly distributed initial excess pore water pressure along depth was studied in two models which respectively considering both the radial and vertical flows in granular column and the vertical flow only in granular column, and the corresponding analytical solutions of the two models were presented and compared with each other. It shows that the distribution of initial excess pore water pressure has obvious influence on the consolidation of the composite ground with single drainage boundary, and the rate of consolidation considering the radial-vertical flow in granular column is faster than that considering the vertical flow only in granular column.

Sea sand-cement-fly ash column technology for soft soil treatment is a new technology in the process of completing the theoretical basis, the experimental basis, and the construction of the ground treatment technological procedure. The paper presents the results of scientific research on design, calculation, construction, and acceptance of sea sand-cement-fly ash column. The scientific basis for the design of column is to consider the role of the column in composite ground, that is to use the column as soft ground improvement or soft soil reinforcement. The important parameters for the column design are: cement and fly ash content; column length; column diameter; number of columns; distance among columns; load capacity and settlement of composite ground. The sequence of steps of construction and acceptance of column includes: selection of construction equipment, preparation of construction sites, trial construction, official construction, evaluation of ground quality after treatment and preparation of document for acceptance.

The technology of the composite ground under a flexible foundation have been widely used in transportation, water conservancy and other departments, yet its theory of characterizing the behavior of the composite ground needs to be further researched. A simplified analytical model is presented, considering the above four parts which includes the flexible foundation, the cushion, the composite ground, and the underlying soils as an interactive system, allowing for the relative movement between piles and soils, and assuming different settlement of foundation soil at the same elevation. The force equilibriums of a typical element are established. And then, according to the compatibility of stress and deformation on the interfaces between these four components, the formulas on settlement and stress ratio of pile-soil, which is used to characterize the behavior of the composite ground, are derived.

This study presents the results of a series of monotonic undrained triaxial compression tests on clay specimens improved by columnar reinforcement. The process of loading and stress redistribution of a fly ash – clay specimen (FCS), in comparison with a sand–clay specimen (SCS), is examined in terms of stress–strain characteristics, generation of excess pore-water pressure, effective and total earth pressures, development of stress concentration, and the normalized undrained shear strength of the improved soil. It was found, predictably, that the deviator stress of the composite specimens was influenced by the consolidation stress, replacement area ratio, and properties of the column material. The stress concentration at the top of the composite ground which depends on the loading stage reaches a peak after the consolidation state and is reduced due to stress redistribution between the column and the soft ground. In terms of improvement effects, the mean shear strengths of FCS and SCS relative to the clay specimen are three and seven times greater, respectively, for a replacement area ratio of 49%.Key words: composite ground, fly ash, soil improvement, soft ground, triaxial test.
