The Application of Ground Granulated Blast Slag in Soft Soil Treatment

Article Preview

Abstract:

The characters, research and utilization of Ground Granulated Blast Slag are presented in this paper. Some current use of GGBS in soft soil treatment is introduced. In addition, the paper also focuses on the comparative analysis of the effects of GGBS and Lime Stabilization which is the traditional method in soft soil treatment on compaction characteristics & Atterberg limits. Next, the strength mechanism of GGBS, a kind of Soli Stabilizer applied in soft soil treatment, is mainly explained and also the validity of GGBS has been proved. All of these indicate that GGBS has the superiority of social benefit, economic benefit and environmental benefit in soft soil treatment.
