Cement and ionic curing agent were blended with iron tailings (ITS) and natural soil to prepare a new road base material. 7-d unconfined compressive strength (UCS) was selected as the evaluation index for determining the optimal mix ratio. The results reveal that the 7-d UCS always increases with the increase of cement content, and firstly increases with the increase of curing agent content and then tends to remain stable, exhibiting an increasing trend first and then dropping with the increase of ITS content. In lieu of this, the optimum ratio of iron tailings blended soil (ITBS) is determined as follows: ITS and soil are mixed in ratio of 50: 50, and cement and soil curing agent account for 5% and 2% of the total mass, respectively. The results of splitting strength and flexural-tensile strength tests show that these strengths of the ITBS always increase with the curing age, and firstly increases and then decreases with the increase in ITS content. XRD and SEM analyses show that the ratio of ITS to soil significantly influences the micro-pore structure of the blended soil. At an ITS to soil ratio of 50% : 50%, the combination of soil and ITS particles is the closest which results in the highest strength attainment.

Traditional approaches such as ocean dumping and inland deposit are unsatisfactory for the management of dredged sediments, in the context of sustainable development. The solidified sediments with fly ash and lime as road base materials are preferred to conserve land and minimize impact to environment. A series of tests, such as compaction tests, tensile strength tests and swell tests, were performed to explore mechanical and swell properties of Dunkirk dredged materials. The fly ash contributes to the considerable increase in elastic modulus and the small increase in tensile strength in the presence of lime. Then the potential of treated sediments as road base material is evaluated. After immersion in water for 4 days, the addition of fly ash can induce a remarkable increase in swell percents in contrast with the lime-based sediments.

In recent years, due to the dual pressures of resources and the environment,the clod recycled technology renovation and expansion of the old road and new road construction process increasingly attention increasingly wide range of applications. In this paper, the water stability of the cold recycled materials in asphalt pavement on cement additives, frozen stability, thermal shrinkage resistance, dry Shrinkage thefour indicators of experiments to evaluate its durability, and compared with the typical semi-rigid material. To verify the feasibility of the cold recycled material as road base material.

Aiming to explore the optimal mixture ratio and curing age of solidified muddy soil under dynamic load, the paper intends to investigate whether the solidified muddy soil can be used as filling of high-speed railway subgrade. Based on the dynamic triaxial test, the investigation measured the dynamic strain and dynamic elastic modulus of solidified muddy soil under different mix ratios and curing ages, and also observed the microscopic morphology of solidified muddy soil samples by using scanning electron microscope. The results show that the addition of cement and curing agent significantly increases the dynamic strength and elastic modulus of muddy soil, which effectively improve the dynamic characteristics of muddy soil. The curing effect of the curing agent is more obvious with the increase of the dosage of cement and curing agent under different mix ratio. The content of curing agent plays a leading role in the hydration reaction between cement, curing agent and soil particles. Additionally, in case of the same test conditions, when the ratio of cement mass to dry silt mass is 1:20, the ratio of diluent volume to dry silt mass is 1:20, with 28 days of curing age, its curing effect will reach the best.

To fight against the high cost and the increasing scarcity of cement and at the same time to reduce the CO2 greenhouse gases emission associated with the production of Portland cement, two types of wood ashes as a substitute of cement in the production of concretes were investigated. In this paper, we substituted cement by two types of species of wood ashes namely, avocado and eucalyptus ashes following the proportions ranging from 0% to 30 % on one hand, and on the other hand, we added these two types of species of wood ashes namely, avocado and eucalyptus ashes following the proportions ranging from 0% to 10 % by weight of cement in the concrete samples. After 7, 14 and 28 days of curing, compressive strength tests were conducted on these concrete samples. The findings revealed that using wood ashes as additives/admixtures or as a substitute of cement in the production/manufacturing of concrete decreased the compressive strength of concrete. Hence, it can be said that wood ash has a negative influence on the strength of concrete. At three percent (3%) and ten percent (10%) of addition, the wood ash from eucalyptus specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from avocado specie, whereas at five percent (5%) of addition, the wood ash from avocado specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from eucalyptus specie. At thirty percent (30%) of substitution, the wood ash from eucalyptus specie offers better resistance compared to the wood ash from avocado specie. The compressive strengths increase with the increase of curing age.

In this paper, fluorosilicone oligomer and its curing agent are used as the main film-forming materials, and fluorosilicone POSS is added to reduce the surface energy of the composites to prepare a coating with certain anti-sticking effect. The changes of molecular structure before and after the reaction were obtained by infrared spectroscopy. The contact angle and anti-sticking property of the coating surface were studied by changing the content of POSS containing fluorine. It was found that the contact angle of fluorine-containing POSS reached 98.7° when the content of fluorine-containing POSS was 3 Wt.%. With the increase of POSS content, the anti-sticking force of composites changed little, but with the increase of the contact time of tape, the anti-sticking force showed an increasing trend.
