Mechanical Properties and Accumulated Plastic Strain of Calcium Carbide Residue–Silica Fume–Improved Silty Clay Under Freeze–Thaw Cycles

Abstract

AbstractIn order to explore the feasibility of using calcium carbide residue (CCR) and silica fume (SF) materials to reinforce silty clay roadbeds in seasonal frozen regions and seek reasonable approaches for CCR and SF treatment, this study proposes a ...Practical ApplicationsThis study proposes an eco-friendly subgrade reinforcement solution utilizing industrial solid wastes [calcium carbide residue (CCR) and silica fume (SF)] for seasonally frozen regions. By combining CCR and SF into a cementitious ...
