YgAzAFMAdgBlAEQAQwBRAGkAVwBJAGsASQBoAGEAcQBYAFcAZAA3ADMAUAB3AHQAcAAxADQAdwA9 AA== To identify mechanism of sand particle size effect on the mechanical properties of gypsum cement, 11 grades of sand particles with a size of 0.1-3 mm were used to produce 99 specimens for uniaxial compression and permeability coefficient testing. Based on this, the distribution characteristics of internal stress and horizontal displacement are discussed using the numerical analysis. The results obtained show that the sand particle size effect on the uniaxial compressive strength of similar materials is negatively correlated within the range from -16.51% to 49.79%. SEM observations imply that, in the case of small particle sizes, gypsum crystals develop into denser needle-like structures, while for larger particle sizes, they are mostly loose lamellar structures. Permeability tests indicated that the larger the sand particle size, the greater the permeability, indicating that the internal pore connectivity is better, and the crevices are easier to penetrate when the specimen is compressed. Numerical simulations indicated that the larger the particle size, the larger the extreme deformation value of the specimen in the horizontal direction, and the more uneven the deformation distribution. In addition, specimens with larger particle sizes had a larger total area, where the tensile stress exceeded the ultimate tensile strength, and were more prone to tensile failure.
