| Summary: | Sugarcane bagasse ash is a kind of agricultural waste with a large quantity and good volcanic ash reactivity, it is necessary to find a way to reasonably utilize it to prevent environmental pollution caused by long-term accumulation. In this paper, the effect of sugarcane bagasse ash on the short-term mechanical properties of coastal cement soil were studied, and unconfined compressive tests and triaxial shear tests were carried out. The sugarcane bagasse ash content was set to 0 %, 1 %, 2 %, 3 %, 4 % and 5 %, respectively, the cement content was set to 5 %, and the curing age was set at 7d. The test results show that sugarcane bagasse ash can effectively improve the unconfined compressive strength and triaxial shear strength of cement soil, exhibiting a trend of increasing first and then decreasing with the increase of its content. When the sugarcane bagasse ash content is 1 %, the unconfined compressive strength reaches the maximum value of 2040 kPa, which is 56 % and 8 % higher than that of cement soil with 5 % and 7 % cement content, respectively. Compared with cement soil with 5 % cement content, the triaxial shear strength increases by 12 %∼17 %, the internal friction angle φ and cohesion c increases by 3 %∼8 % and 2 %∼11 %, respectively. The SEM test results show that the addition of bagasse ash can promote the hydration of cement to produce hydrated calcium silicate and other hydration products, fill the internal pores of the sample, and make the microstructure of the modified cement soil tend to be dense. The research results provide a reference for the application of sugarcane bagasse ash modified cement soil in practical engineering. |
