Mechanical properties of discarded shield residue improved by calcium carbide slag and fly ash as subgrade filling
Open accessAbstract
To utilize discarded shield residue and alleviate the shortage of subgrade filling, industrial wastes such as calcium carbide slag (CCS) and fly ash (FA) were considered to enhance the mechanical properties of the shield residue. A series of laboratory tests, including California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) tests, moisture content tests, pH tests, water stability tests, and dry-wet cycles tests were performed on discarded shield residue with additive contents. The results show that the UCS and CBR values enhanced significantly with the increase in curing time. However, the moisture content and pH of the stabilized soil exhibited a decreasing trend. The early UCS of CCS-FA stabilized soil is slightly lower than that of QL-FA stabilized soil. After 60 curing days, all stabilized soil exhibited a UCS value exceeding 1.9 MPa. In addition, the CBR values of CCS-FA stabilized soil were more than 8 times higher than those of the original shield residue. Furthermore, the water stability of CCS-FA stabilized soil is slightly better than QL-FA stabilized soil, especially at 7 days and 14 days. As for dry-wet cycles test, after the fifth cycle, the CCS-FA stabilized soil maintained overall integrity. The CCS can effectively replace QL to enhance the mechanical properties of shield residue as subgrade filling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
