In order to study the inorganic composite curing agents of lime, gypsum, fly ash on the strength properties of EPS lightweight soil using recycled sludge, the unconfined compressive strength test and scanning electron microscope test are done to investigate the strength properties of EPS lightweight soil. The effect and scope of each curing agent is investigated and determined by means of single-doped unconfined compressive strength test, and the optimum proportion of the curing agent is further determined by the method of orthogonal unconfined compressive strength test, of which the stabilized effectiveness of the lightweight soil is compared with those only using cement as curing agent. Finally, the SEM test is done to study the microstructure and pore characteristics of the lightweight soil mixed with EPS adding with or without curing agent. The test results and curing agent can be used as conference when stabilizing soft soil and treatment of discarded clay.

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.

The compressive strength test is one of the technical properties or compressive strength tests that are commonly used in rock mechanics to determine the collapse point or the elasticity of rock against maximum pressure. The rock collapse point is a measure of the strength of the rock itself when the rock is no longer able to maintain its elastic properties. The purpose of this test is to find out how long the rock maintains its strength or elasticity properties when pressure is applied, and to find out the difference between the strength of compact rock and rock that has fractures when pressure is applied. Rocks that have fractures will break more easily or quickly when pressure is applied compared to compact rocks. This analysis is carried out by comparing the rock strength of each sample, both those that have fractures and compact rocks. To find out these differences, laboratory testing was carried out. The test results show the value (compressive strength test 57.76 MPa), (elastic modulus 5250.000MPa), (Poisson ratio 0.05) and the average value of rock mechanical properties test (axial 0.91), (lateral-0.279), and (volumetric 0.252) . Based on the test results above, it shows that rocks that have fractures will break more easily when pressure is applied, compared to compact rocks that have a long time in the uniaxial compressive strength test.

In this study, the different proportions of co-fired fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag were used to fully replace the cement as non-cement blended materials in a fixed water-cement ratio. The recycled fine aggregates were replaced with natural fine aggregates as 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The flowability, compressive strength, water absorption and scanning electron microscope observations were used as the engineered indices by adding different proportions of recycled fine aggregates. The test results indicated that the fluidity cannot be measured normally due to the increase in the proportion of recycled fine aggregates due to its higher absorbability. In the compressive strength test, the compressive strength decreased accordingly as the recycled fine aggregates increased due to the interface structure and the performance of recycled aggregates. The fine aggregates and other blended materials had poor cementation properties, resulting in a tendency for their compressive strength to decrease. However, the compressive strength can be controlled above 35 MPa of the green non-cement blended materials containing 20% recycled aggregates.

Infrastructure development is one of the important aspects of the progress of a country where most of the constituents of infrastructure are concrete. The most important constituent of concrete is cement because its function is to bind other concrete materials so that it can form a hard mass. The large number of developments using cement as a building material will leave quite a lot of cement bags.In this study, the authors conducted research on the effect of adding cement waste to the compressive strength of concrete. This study used an experimental method with a total of 24 test objects. The test object is in the form of a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm and uses variations in the composition of the addition of cement waste cement as a substitute for fine aggregate, namely 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%. K200). The compressive strength test was carried out at the age of 7 days and 28 days.The test results show that the use of waste as a partial substitute for fine aggregate results in a decrease in the compressive strength of each mixture. at the age of 7 days the variation of 2% is 16.84 MPa, 4% is 11.32 MPa and for a mixture of 6% is 6.68 MPa. Meanwhile, the compressive strength test value of 28 days old concrete in each mixture decreased by ± 6 MPa. So the conclusion is cement cement waste cannot be used as a substitute for fine aggregate in fc 16.6 (K200) quality concrete because the value is lower than the specified minimum of 16.6 MPa.

Aiming at the question of improvement expansive soil in Nanyang area, the composite improvement method of lignin and cement was adopted. Based on the unconfined compressive strength test, the variation law of unconfined compressive strength of improved expansive soil with different lignin content, different compaction degree and different curing age was studied. The test results show that the composite of lignin and cement can effectively improve the unconfined compressive strength of expansive soil. The unconfined compressive strength of L-C (lignin and cement) improved expansive soil reaches the maximum when the cement content is fixed at 4% and the lignin content is 1%. The unconfined compressive strength of L-C improved soil increases with the increase of compaction degree and curing age, and the strength growth mainly concentrated in the first 7 days of curing age. From the point of improvement mechanism, the hydration and gelation reaction of cement occur in expansive soil, and gel material with higher strength is formed to enhance the strength of expansive soil. The appropriate amount of lignin can fill the pores between soil particles and make the connection between soil particles more closely, so as to improve the strength of expansive soil.
