Magnesium Salt Influenced Strength Behavior of Lime-Fly Ash Stabilized Fine Grained Soil

摘要

The fine grained soil subgrade in coastal areas has the characteristics of high underground water level and serious salinization, and the lime-fly ash stabilized soil (LFSS) often used as the road base material. In order to study the effect of magnesium salt on the material strength, 5?% MgCl2 solution was used to simulate the groundwater magnesium salt environment, and specimens with 7?d, 14?d, 28?d, 60?d and 90?d curing ages were tested in MgCl2 solution for 1?d, 5?d, 10?d, 15?d or 30?d. A controlled?test was also conducted in purified water. Strength mechanism of LFSS was analyzed; SEM test was taken; and the influence mechanism of MgCl2 medium was analyzed. The results showed that MgCl2 medium, immersing time, and curing age have effects on compressive strength of LFSS. More specifically, although the early strength is low, the strength of LFSS maintains slow and steady growth from 7?d to 90?d. Long-term immersing in both MgCl2 solution and purified water will reduce the strength of LFSS, while the strength of specimen immersed in MgCl2 solution will decrease faster. Reactions between MgCl2 and LFSS destroyed the original gels and crystals, causing a negative impact on the strength of LFSS. However, with the test dose of MgCl2, the reduced strength of LFSS can still satisfy the sub-base requirement of second-class highway in China.Author BiographiesZhirong JIA, Shandong University of TechnologySchool of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Shandong University of Technology;Dean of the CollegeLuxin FU, School of Transportation and Vehicle Engineering, Shandong University of TechnologySchool of Transportation and Vehicle Engineering, Shandong University of Technology;Graduate studentLizhi WANG, School of Transportation and Vehicle Engineering, Shandong University of TechnologySchool of Transportation and Vehicle Engineering, Shandong University of Technology;Graduate studentPDFPublished2020-02-27IssueVol 26 No 3 (2020): Materials ScienceSectionCONSTRUCTION MATERIALSCopyright terms are indicated in the Republic of Lithuania Law on Copyright and Related Rights, Articles 4-37.
