The stability of steel-slag road materials remains a critical issue in their utilization as an aggregate base course. In this pursuit, the present study was envisaged to investigate the effects of fly ash on the mechanical properties and expansion behavior of cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag. Strength tests and expansion tests of the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag with varying additions of fly ash were carried out. The results indicate that the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag exhibited good mechanical properties. The expansion rate and the number of bulges of the stabilized material reduced with an increase in the addition. When the addition of fly ash was 30–60%, the stabilized material was not damaged due to expansion. Furthermore, the results of X-CT, XRD and SEM-EDS show that fly ash reacted with the expansive component of the steel slag. In addition, the macro structure of the stabilized material was found to be changed by an increase in the concentration of the fly ash, in order to improve the volumetric stability. Our study shows that the cement-fly-ash-stabilized steel slag exhibits good mechanical properties and volumetric stability with reasonable additions of fly ash.

Virgin soils as a result of geotechnical processes are element of road’s solid bottom. The bottom ought to have enough capacity and durability which is provided by proper virgin sub-grade’s enhancement. The sub-grade is road’s base course right bottom. It is possible to improve virgin soil’s parameters by road’s hydraulic binding agent. The agent is a mineral frame’s micro-particle extender or enhancement. The researches were focused to define main soil-cement compound’s mechanical parameter called CBR. Compounds consisted of rural virgin soils (five grain-size types) and two hydraulic agent types (endurance rates 3 MPa and 9 MPa). Hydraulic agent’s main component was activated fly ash and white cement (CEM I 42,5 MPa). The ash is from Pątnów Power Plant and is a result of brown coal burning. The researches answered that it is possible to exploit virgin soils in rural service road’s construction thanks to innovative road cements with binding qualities.

In order to prove that the ability of the construction of the base course with cement-fly-ash-flushedby-seawater stabilized crushed-stones and the materials‘ spreading across the country in the future, the paper start to analyze and research the micro reaction and macro properties about the cement and fly-ash-flushed-by- seawater binder along with the cement and typical fly-ash binder, which based on a series of contrastive laboratory tests. When the mixture ratio of cement and fly-ash-flushed-by-seawater binder ,In addition, the key techniques indexes for construction ,which are controlled seriously ,It is unparalleled that the utilization of the cement and fly-ash-flushed-by-seawater stabilized crushed-stones in the construction of base course.

In October 2000 the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) initiated a study to evaluate the long-term performance of lime–fly ash (LFA) stabilized soil as a base course material. This study entailed performing falling weight deflectometer (FWD) tests on both newer and older pavements and coring pavement at each FWD location to observe the condition of the layers, to obtain pavement thicknesses, and to perform unconfined compressive strength (UCS) testing. Visual observation, backcalculated modulus, and in situ structural layer coefficient values showed that MDOT LFA-stabilized soil base courses have highly variable material properties and thicknesses. Recommendations were made to increase the average LFA material property values and to reduce the spread in these values by increasing the required compaction of the LFA-stabilized soil base layer to 100% standard Proctor effort, setting the required in situ Proctor UCS at 400 psi, and reducing variability by either improving the current method of field-mixed-in-place stabilization or requiring plant-mixed material with placement of the blended material via a paver. It is further recommended to increase the typical LFA-stabilized soil base layer design thickness from 6 to 8 in. and to use a 6-in. chemically stabilized subgrade layer to provide additional support to the pavement structure.

This paper studies on shrinkage performance of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) material blended with inorganic binder such as cement, lime-fly ash (lime and fly ash) and three ashes (cement, lime and fly ash), with certain intensity used as base course. The erosion, dry shrinkage and temperature shrinkage tests were conducted on the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) material blended with the three kinds of inorganic binder, to evaluate and compare different types of cold recycled inorganic material shrinkage resistance capability and anti-erosion properties. After analyzing the fatigue test result of three-additives-stabilized recycled mixture, it showed that the recycled pavement mixture owned preferable anti-erosion properties, anti-temperature shrinkage resistance and anti-dry shrinkage performance.

As a by-product from the incineration of municipal solid waste (MSW), fly ash usually contains mobile heavy metals that may engender severe pollution when reused. In this study, fly ash was solidified with cement and a chelating agent to immobilize these polluting elements. The possibility of using the solidified fly ash for pavement materials was also assessed through mechanical and environmental perspectives. According to the results, the strength of solidified fly ash was found proportional to both the cement/fly ash ratio and curing time. This indicated that the increase of fly ash loading reduced the concentration of products from cement hydration, and thus destroyed the structure of the products of hydration. With the increase of freeze–thaw cycles, the compressive strength of cement-stabilized fly ash decreased between days 7 and 14, and then increased between days 14 and 28. Subsequently, the finite element analysis showed that placing the solidified fly ash layer as a pavement material between an unbound base course and subgrade was beneficial to prolong fatigue life and reduce rutting distress of asphalt pavements. Finally, leachability of metals from the mixtures was tested, which showed that leaching concentration decreased as the cement/ash ratio, curing time, and chelating agent content increased.

A stabilized fiber-reinforced base course material composed largely of recycled concrete aggregate with small amounts of portland cement and fly ash was subjected to repeated flexural loading to evaluate its resilient properties and progressive accumulation of fatigue damage. Cyclic load-deformation data were recorded continuously during the entire fatigue life until fracture to determine ( a) the magnitude and variation of cumulative plastic strain and dynamic elastic modulus as a function of the number of loading cycles, ( b) a range for the resilient modulus, and ( c) the effect of fiber inclusions on the dynamic material properties and rate of damage accumulation. The extent of fatigue damage was calculated as a fatigue damage index, which is based on the cumulative energy dissipated (absorbed) during cyclic loading. All beam specimens used in this experimental program contained (by weight) 4 percent cement, 4 percent fly ash, and 92 percent recycled aggregate; the fiber-reinforced specimens contained an additional 4 percent (by weight) hooked-end steel fibers. Results show that the resilient modulus in flexure varies between about 2.75 GPa (400,000 lbf/in2.) and 10.4 GPa (1.5 million lbf/in.2) and the degradation of the dynamic elastic modulus does not exceed 25 percent of the initial modulus. Miner’s Rule of linear summation of damage is applicable to unreinforced material but not to fiber-reinforced material. In general, a modest amount of reinforcing fibers was very effective in retarding the rate of fatigue damage accumulation in this lean cementitious composite.
