Experimental Study on Reinforcing Loess by a New Compound Solidified Agent

The paper analyzes the mechanism of strength forming in reinforcing soil by a new compound solidified agent and carries out tests of compaction,unconfined compression strength,CBR,osmosis and collapsibility on loess without reinforcement,loess reinforced with lime and compound solidified agent respectively;thus the engineering performance of loess reinforced by new compound solidified agent is studied.The results show that the density,unconfined compression strength,water stability and osmosis of reinforced loess are improved greatly;and the collapsibility decrease a little but is far less than the effect of re-plasticity.
