Exploring the influence and predictive role of waste acidic calcium on the water stability and mechanical behavior of strongly alkaline dispersive subsoil.

Strongly alkaline dispersive soils pose a significant global challenge to both engineering applications and agricultural production, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Conventional soil modifiers used to address this issue not only present environmental and economic concerns but also fail to effectively improve soil alkalinity. This study investigates the potential application of acidic desulfurization gypsum (DG) as a soil modifier for dispersive soils, aiming to achieve high-value utilization of industrial solid waste.

Engineering properties optimization of dispersive soil by calcium silicate waste-The role of steel-making slag.

Steel slag (SS) is a byproduct that comes from the production of crude steel in alkaline oxidation furnaces. Resource utilization of steel slag, a calcium-silicon solid waste, is an urgent problem. This paper investigates a solid waste disposal method that applies different steel slag contents to modify dispersive soil.

Effect of Incorporating Polyvinyl Alcohol Fiber on the Mechanical Properties of EICP-Treated Sand.

Enzyme-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (EICP) technology can improve the strength of treated soil. But it also leads to remarkable brittleness of the soil. This study used polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber combined with EICP to solidify sand.
