Abstract
The generation of large amounts of solid waste has led to exploration of solid waste-modified expansive soils; however, the effect of a single solid waste-modified expansive soil is not ideal. This study proposes a composite modification of expansive soils using a PG-FA-L system. Statistical analysis showed that the properties of the cured soil were significantly improved. PG and FA increased soil strength after a certain threshold, and L increased it at all stages. The presence of PG accelerated the volcanic ash reaction. Both PG and FA have a small effect on the swelling of the soil, whereas lime improves it significantly, but has a negative effect after a certain threshold. The 28-day unconfined compressive strength and deformation characteristics were used to derive the relevant regions for roadbed fill requirements and determine the optimum dosage.
