摘要: 以伊犁地区S315线蜂场至尼勒克段低液限粉黏土为研究对象,以碱激发材料为固化剂,对粉质黏土和其固化土开展了路用性能指标试验与冻融循环试验,并利用电镜扫描试验(SEM)与X射线衍射试验(XRD)研究了固化土的微观特征,探讨了碱激发材料对粉质黏土路用性能指标与抗冻融特性的影响。试验结果表明,固化土的无侧限抗压强度与抗剪强度随碱激发材料掺量和养护龄期的增加而增大;固化土的CBR值与回弹模量随碱激发材料掺量的增加而显著增大,固化土路用性能指标满足规范要求。低液限粉黏土对冻融敏感,其冻胀、融沉率的大小与降温速率、含水率有关,相同温差下温度梯度越小土体受冻融影响越明显,相同温度梯度下含水率越高土体受冻融影响越明显。不同碱激发材料掺量下的固化土在补水条件下冻胀率均小于1%,不发生冻胀。微观特征分析结果表明,碱激发材料的主要水化产物是C(-A)-S-H凝胶,其生成量随龄期增加,其填充和胶结作用使土体形成致密的微观结构,从而提高土体的强度,同时增强其抗冻融稳定性。Abstract: The current study investigates the use of Alkali-Activated Material (AAM) to stabilize a silty clay with low liquid limit, collected from a construction site between Fengchang to Ni Leke section of line S315 in Yili Area. The experimental program includes road performance index tests and freeze-thaw cycling tests. They are performed on the silty clay and the stabilized soil to study the effect of AAM on the road performance index and freeze-thaw resistance. Micro characterization using scanning electron microscope(SEM) and X-Ray diffraction(XRD) is also carried out to study the underlying stabilizing mechanisms. The results show that the unconfined compressive strength and shear strength of solidified soil increase with the content of AAM and the curing age. The CBR value and resilient modulus of solidified soil increase with the content of AAM. The road performance indices of AAM stabilized soils satisfy the regulation requirements. The frozen heave and thawed settlement rates of silty clay are related to temperature gradient and water content. At the same temperature dropping range, the freeze-thaw effect is more evident on the silty clay at smaller temperature gradient. At the same temperature gradient, the freeze-thaw effect is more evident at higher water content. The frost heave rate of silty clay treated with different content of AAM under water supply condition is less than 1%, showing no frozen heave tendency. The results of micro characterization show that the C(-A)-S-H gel is the major cementing agents formed after AAM stabilization and its content increases with curing age. This cementing agent fills the pores between the soil particles and cements the soil particles together leading to a dense micro structure, which increases the strength and freeze-thaw resistance of stabilized soil.
