To address the problems of soft soil cured by cement
curing agent such as insufficient strength and poor integrity, a case study is
conducted on Mangzhou tunnel in Zhuhai, China, and a newly developed soft soil
curing agent is introduced to reinforce the soft soil layer. By analyzing the
engineering characteristics and construction risks, the reinforcement mechanism
of soft soil is explained by means of indoor and field tests. By setting the
comparison indoor test between curing agent and cement content, the strength
difference between the two is expounded through the 7and
28day unconfined compressive strength tests. The
results show that: (1) The 28day unconfined
compressive strength of the solidified body with 13% dosage of curing agent is
2.48 MPa, which is 91% higher than that with cement dosage of 20%. (2) The core
sample of triaxial mixing pile reinforced by curing agent is complete, and the
unconfined compressive strength values of each depth are greater than the
design requirement of 0.8 MPa with a minimum value of 1.86 MPa and an average value
of 2.47 MPa, fulfilling the design requirements. (3) The cost can be saved by
15%~30% compared with cement.
