Abstract
Subgrade is an essential factor for the service life of highways and railways, especially the sulfate attack of subgrade made of saline soil. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the transport property of subgrade. In this study, sulfate transport of cementitious materials-solidified saline soil was assessed. Firstly, factors affecting sulfate transport were characterized in natural soil. Furthermore, fly ash and lime were implemented to prepare a new kind of improved soil. By analyzing the microstructure development, influence of fly ash and lime on sulfate transport was investigated and the improved mix proportion was addressed. Finally, the last section focused on the mechanism for sulfate resistance of the soil. Raw materials, phase assemblage improvement, and pore structure refinement caused by filler effect and pozzolanic reaction effect of fly ash were the main reasons for the sulfate resistance increase. This study is helpful for the service life improvement of highways and railways.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials aims to publish theoretical and applied researches on materials, products and structures that incorporate cement. The journal is a forum for discussion of research on manufacture, hydration and performance of cement-based materials; novel experimental techniques; the latest analytical and modelling methods; the examination and the diagnosis of real cement and concrete structures; and the potential for improved cement-based materials. The journal welcomes original research papers, major reviews, rapid communications and selected conference papers. The Journal of Sustainable Cement-Based Materials covers a wide range of topics within its subject category, including but are not limited to: • raw materials and manufacture of cement • mixing, rheology and hydration • admixtures • structural characteristics and performance of cement-based materials • characterisation techniques and modeling • use of fibre in cement based-materials • degradation and repair of cement-based materials • novel testing techniques and applications • waste management
