Strength and Solidification Mechanism of Silt Solidified by Polyurethane by Fengyuan Li, Chaojie Wang, Yangyang Xia, Yanjie Hao, Peng Zhao, Mingsheng Shi

“…The results showed that the permeable polymer grouting material can significantly improve the performance of silt: (1) A higher amount of polymer produced a greater strength in the solidified soil. (2) The strength of the solidified soil increased as the immersion time was increased. (3) Moisture in the soil was not conducive to improving the strength of the solidified soil. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) have proven that polyurethane does not react with the silt, but they could improve the strength of the silt through physical action. …”
