Mechanism of steel slag powder stabilization and improvement of expansive clay by Yinlei SUN, Chuan YU, Lei LIAO, Zhifei LI

“…By reducing the particle size of SSP, adding alkaline exciters or compound modification can improve its cementation activity and hydration rate. (3) SSP as a soil conditioner can significantly improve the performance of expansive clay, including expansion and contraction and mechanical properties. (4) The studies on the interaction mechanism between SSP and clay and the application effect of composite exciters remain insufficient and requires further investigation. (5) Future research should consider the chemical and physical properties under the coupling of different factors, including the chemical-mineral composition and the microstructure evolution law of the soil, as well as the mechanical properties of the soil under the water-chemical-force interactions. …”
