Reinforcement Mechanism of Cement/Lime-Fly Ash Treated Sediments as Road Construction Materials

Abstract:

Solidified dredged materials as environment-friendly materials in construction domain are increasingly popular because of their better mechanical performance and low pollution. Based on the physical characteristic of dredged marine sediments, a series of tests, such as unconfined compressive strength test and tensile strength test, were performed to explore the mechanical properties of cement/lime-fly ash treated sediments for the beneficial use in road construction. Finally, the reinforcement mechanism of solidified sediments was explored by SEM tests from the point of view of the formation of CSH phases and the change in microstructure.
