Exploring alkali-source, pore-filling and cementation damage effects in cemented clay with typical industrial waste binders

Various industrial waste binders (IWBs) are being recycled in soil stabilization to save cement consumption. However, the coupled effects brought out by combined IWBs on stabilized soils are still unclear. IWBs are categorized into two typical categories (IWB-A and IWB-B) referring to their chemical...

description Various industrial waste binders (IWBs) are being recycled in soil stabilization to save cement consumption. However, the coupled effects brought out by combined IWBs on stabilized soils are still unclear. IWBs are categorized into two typical categories (IWB-A and IWB-B) referring to their chemical role in this study. The alkali-source effect, pore-filling effect and cementation damage effect by IWBs in soil stabilization are explored. A series of mechanical and microscopic tests is performed on stabilized clay with different proportions of IWB-A and IWB-B. Moreover, initial water contents and cement contents of cement-stabilized clay are varied to examine the evolution of coupled effect with void ratio and cementation level. The results indicate that the alkali-source effect strengthens the cementation bonds and increases the early strength by 0.5–1.3 times, whereas the pore-filling effect improves the microfabric especially for the specimen with a large void ratio. The alkali-source effect increases soil cohesion cu at the pre-yield stage, and the pore-filling effect increases frictional angle φu at the post-yield stage. The cementation damage effect is remarkable at a low void ratio, which may result in many extruded pores among soil aggregates. The strength evolution with IWB proportions can be well stimulated by considering the coupled alkali-source effect, pore-filling effect and cementation damage effect. The optimal proportion of IWBs corresponds to an optimal combination of coupled effect.
