Abstract

The hydroxy-aluminum solution is prepared by alkali neutralization titration and the subsequent cross-linking tests are designed by mixing the hydroxy-aluminum solution and expansive soil, followed by the discussion on the influence of the molar ratio of OH- to Al3+ and ratio of total aluminum to expansive soil on the swelling behavior of the cross-linked soil. The free swelling ratio of the cross-linked soil decreased significantly, indicating that the main aluminum species that changes the expansion properties of the cross-linked soil is [Al13]7+.
