Basalt fiber is a new environmentally-friendly material with excellent potential for soil reinforcement in geotechnical engineering construction. This study explores the effects of freeze-thaw cycles on the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and P-wave velocity () of lime-stabilized basalt fiber-reinforced loess. Reinforced loess samples with different proportions of basalt fiber and lime were subjected to 0, 1, 5, and 10 freeze-thaw cycles, and their UCS and were subsequently measured.

Phosphogypsum (PG) is a solid waste product of the wet-process phosphoric acid industry that accumulates in large amounts on the ground, forming PG ponds. In recent years, the amount of PG produced and discharged into ponds has increased significantly with the increase in the market demand for phosphate fertilizers. To enrich the basic knowledge of PG properties and provide basic data for the stability analysis of PG dams, a series of laboratory geotechnical tests, including permeability tests, compressibility tests, triaxial shear tests, and dynamic triaxial tests, were conducted in this study.

The co-placement of mine tailings and fly ash (CMF) can reduce acid mine drainage (AMD) production and decrease metal mobilization. This aids in waste management construction. However, few people have studied a large number of tailing sand-fly ash mixtures under the condition of neutral saturated solution in tailing ponds, wherein the pozzolanic reaction is highly gradual.
