As the scale of shield tunnel construction in China
increases year by year, a large amount of abandoned soil and slurry is produced
continuously. The treatment and disposal of these tunnel abandoned soil and
slurry have a certain impact on the urban environment and economic development.
Therefore, it is necessary to summarize the treatment and utilization
technology and the existing problems of the abandoned soil and slurry. The
current situation of the abandoned soil and slurry treatment and utilization in
China are analyzed and summarized. The abandoned soil and slurry is classified
according to five indexes including gradation, water content ratio, penetration
index, unconfined compressive strength, and California bearing ratio, and the
properties of improved soil are evaluated. The treatment techniques for
abandoned soil and slurry are summarized as simple screening, direct
utilization, soil improvement, dehydration, and firing. Additionally, four
resource utilization directions are pointed out as back filled soil, filled
soil, embankment, and subgrade based on relevant applicable experience in
Japan. The economic benefits of resource utilization of abandoned soil and
slurry are considerable according to cases study. Finally, the existing
problems of the treatment and disposal of abandoned soil and slurry are
analyzed and summarized. The results obtained can provide references for green
and sustainable utilization of abandoned soil and slurry.
