Intact Loess

As a “special earth”, the water sensitivity of loess is an improtant factor influencing its mechanical characters and engineering properties. Through carrying on tests on the FSY30 non-saturated triaxial instrume, this paper shows ~ and ~ curves of the intact loess under different water contents.Then, it is found that the mechanics characteristic of Q3 loess is mainly influenced by the stress condition as well as the water content condition. In addition, the mechanics behavior of intact Q3 loess appears over-consolidated feature under low water content and low cell pressure.

Industrial alkali slag is the discharge waste in the process of alkali production. About one million tons of alkali slag is discharged in China in one year. It is a burden on the environment, whether it is directly stacked or discharged into the sea. If we can realize the use of resources, it is a multi-pronged move, so alkali slag is used to improve solidified marine soft soil in this paper. The test results show that the alkali residue can effectively improve the engineering properties of marine soft soil. Among them, the unconfined compressive strength and compressive modulus are increased by about 10 times, and the void ratio and plasticity index can all reach the level of general clay. It shows that alkali slag has the potential to improve marine soft soil and can be popularized in engineering.

Compaction Properties

By means of laboratory tests and theoretical calculation, the physical, mechanical properties and compaction mechanism of the wind-blown sand are studied to deal with the problem of how to use the wind-blown sand as roadbed materials. It is revealed that water content doesn’t affect the compressibility and the shear strength of the wind-blown sand obviously and the wind-blown sand can be compacted both in dry and wet conditions. The compaction curve of the ordinary fine sand is consistent with that of wind-blown sand and the main factors affecting the compaction properties are the grain composition, water content and compaction work.
