Experimental Study on Engineering Characteristics of Cement-Lime-Improving Silt in Eastern Henan Province

With the construction of expressways in eastern Henan, silt has been widely used as a filling material. However, the silt in this area is lacking clay, the content of active oxides in the soil is low, and the soil particles are bonded together. The property is poor, the erosion resistance is not strong, and the direct filling of the roadbed is prone to engineering problems. Due to the obvious regionality of silt in eastern Henan, this paper firstly analyzes the basic physical properties of silt in eastern Henan using compaction, compression, direct shear and particle gradation tests. The research displays that with the increase of the dosage of cement or lime, the optimal water content increases, while the maximum dry density decreases. The compressibility decreases linearly with the increase of the content. The improved soil has a significant increase in large particles. When the dosage of lime is 2%-6%, the improved soil has a good gradation, and the improved soil has a significant increase in large particles. When the dosage is 2%-6%, the improved soil has a good gradation, and the improvement effect on the cohesion is much greater than that on the internal friction angle. The comprehensive analysis of cement lime shows that the dosage of cement should be 4%-6%. In the early stage, the improvement effect of cement on silt is better than that of lime.
