Investigation Of Geopolymer Based Soil Stabilization Methods For Expedient Airfield Pavement Surfaces, Brett Albertson Dec 2022

Investigation Of Geopolymer Based Soil Stabilization Methods For Expedient Airfield Pavement Surfaces, Brett Albertson

All Theses

The United States Air Force (USAF) has the unique capability of being able to interdict superior airpower anywhere, at any time. However, superior airpower is only as effective as the amount of time an aircraft can spend in a particular area. The closer an aircraft can get to the mission need, the more time that can be spent in the air, or the less time that must be spent moving in and out of the operational area. Through the use of skilled and experienced men and women, the USAF is able to apply expedient and unsurfaced airfield paving techniques that …

Mechanical Properties Of Slag-Fly Ash Based Geopolymer Stabilized Sandy Soil, Jin-Jin Zhang, Bo Li, Chuang Yu, Mao-Yu Zhang

Rock and Soil Mechanics

Silicate cement as a conventional soil curing agent has problems of high energy consumption and high emissions, and researchers have been seeking a more economical and environmentally friendly alternative to cement. In this study, geopolymers based on ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) and fly ash (FA) were used to reinforce sandy soils, and the effects of different factors on the mechanical properties of geopolymer stabilized sandy soils were investigated by adjusting the type and ratio of exciter, slag-fly ash ratio, water-cement ratio, and curing conditions. The specimens were studied in depth by unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test, electron computed tomography …
