Circulating fluidized bed slag (CFBS) is an industrial waste produced by coal combustion in power plants. To explore the application of CFB slag in cement-stabilized bases, this paper studies the influence of different dosage of CFBS on the mechanics, water stability, and shrinkage of cement-stabilized soil using laboratory experiments. The hydration activity and interface morphology of CFBS in cement-stabilized clay were observed using XRD and SEM. The improvement mechanism of CFBS on the performance of cement-stabilized clay was revealed. The results indicated that, compared with cement-stabilized clay, cement-CFBS-stabilized clay exhibited better mechanical and water stability, and significantly inhibited the shrinkage deformation of cement-stabilized clay. When the addition of CFBS was 70%, cement-CFBS-stabilized clay had the best mechanics and durability. Microscopic tests show that CFBS contains more active silicon aluminum oxide, which is easily dissolved and the hydration of which produces more gel products, so the mixture structure is denser, the strength is improved, and water does not easily evaporate; it has the characteristics of micro expansion which compensates for dry shrinkage deformation.

A thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the evolutionary pattern in the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical-chemical (THMC) behavior of cement-stabilized clay is essential for a more reasonable design of improved clay in practical engineering. Sensitive marine clays with low strength, reinforced by various cement contents (0%, 6%, and 12%), were produced as samples to study the evolutionary pattern of the THMC behavior of reinforced clays. Samples with designed curing times (1, 3, 7, 28, and 90 days) will be trimmed to the appropriate size and utilized in a series of mechanical tests.

Cement-stabilization of weak and soft soils is an efficient way for ground improvement. Traditional Portland cement remains the most popular cementitious material in practice, and thus, a proper dosage design of cement-stabilized soil is of practical interest to meet the sustainable engineering requirements and to remedy environmental concerns. Based on the unconfined compression test of cement-stabilized Qiantang River silty clay, the effects of cement content, mixing moisture content, mixing-water-to-cement ratio, and curing time on the unconfined compressive strength were investigated.

Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash (MSWIFA) can be reused as a positive additive to strengthen soft soil. In this study, MSWIFA was initially used as a supplementary solidification material in combination with ordinary Portland cement to prepare fly ash cement-stabilized soil (FACS) with silty sand and silty clay, respectively. The ratio of MWSIFA to total mass was 5%, 10%, and 15%, and the cement content was set as 10% and 15%.

To study the modification effect of nano-clay and nano-SiO on cement-reinforced coastal soft soil, the effects of the nano-SiO and nano-clay on the mechanical properties of cement soil were studied through unconfined compressive and unconsolidated undrained shear tests, and the Duncan-Chang model was used to fit the test results. Results show that adding nano-clay and nano-SiO to cement soil improved its compressive and shear strength. The compressive strength and shear strength increased by 18-57% and 3-32%, respectively, with the increase in nano-clay content in a content range of 0-10%.
