Abstract
To investigate the effects of compaction (K), rock content (RC), and wet-dry cycle (WD) on the road performance of carbonaceous mudstone soil-rock mixtures (CMSRM), orthogonal tests were designed to measure the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR). The correlation degree of K, RC, and WD with the UCS and CBR of CMSRM was investigated using orthogonal theory and grey correlation theory. Based on multivariate nonlinear regression analysis, mathematical models of the road performance of CMSRM were built. The results show that the UCS and CBR of CMSRM were positively correlated with K and negatively correlated with the WD. With increasing RC, UCS increased at first and then decreased, while CBR increased continuously. The failure modes of CMSRM change from tensile failure to shear failure as the K increases under uniaxial compression. The RC and WD affect the structural integrity of the failed samples. Combining the results of range analysis, variance analysis, and grey relational analysis, the most significant influence on the UCS is K, and the most significant influence on the CBR is RC. It is recommended to select 94%–96% for K and 40%–60% for RC in engineering.
