Abstract

The foamed lightweight soil (FLS) with superior performance was prepared to be used as a subgrade filling material in an intelligent networked vehicle test site. The production process of practical engineering FLS is simulated in the laboratory. The performance of the prepared FLS is the same as that of practical engineering. The test results show that the FLS prepared with 30% cement, 30% granulated blast furnace slag, and 40% fly ash as cementing material has a flow factor of 175 mm. It has good fluidity and is easy to pump. Wet density reaches 593 kg/m3 within the range of the control index of 600 ± 30 kg/m3. The compressive strength of 7 d and 28 d reaches 0.82 MPa and 1.90 MPa, respectively, which is higher than the design strength of 0.5 MPa and 1.0 MPa. Compared with FLS made of pure cement as a cementing material, the FLS has a low heat of hydration, good volume stability, no cracks on the surface, excellent sulfate resistance, good economy, and low carbon characteristics. In the meantime, it can reduce 70% CO2 emissions in cement production. The advanced vehicle-mounted mobile intelligent control system is flexible and convenient in actual engineering construction. It can display the wet density of FLS online, which is easy to adjust and control to ensure the quality stability of FLS.
