Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to solve the problems concerning water loss and soil erosion as well as affected soil stability caused by the construction of towering footing of electric transmission line in Chinas Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, HEC, a new curing agent which is strong and highly water-resistant, is used in the process. In construction, samples acquired are used in some indoor experiments on intensity, air shrinkage, swelling, frost heaving and sluicing. Effects of the consolidated soil on site are observed during a hydrological year and the results show that the material is good enough for wide-spread promotion and application in areas with same conditions.
