Resumen

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using polypropylene fiber-cement-stabilized coastal clay as base-course material or foundation material for city sustainable development by assessing its mechanical performance. The influence of the number of freeze?thaw cycles and curing ages on the mechanical properties of ordinary cemented clay (OCC) and polypropylene fiber-cemented clay (PCC) was investigated by using unconfined compressive test. The experimental results show that the addition of fiber with 1% content can increase the strength as well as the ductility of cemented clay by 12.5% and 15.6%, respectively. The strength of PCC and OCC at 22d age was 1.5 times than at 7d age. Under differently timed freeze?thaw cycles, the mechanical performance of PCC is improved, and, better than that, OCC improves by 11.8% in strength, 16.5% in strain and by 5% in degree of damage, indicating that fiber can improve the freeze?thaw resistance of cemented clay. The frost resistance of PCC and OCC increases with the increase in curing age. Finally, the variation of strength of OCC was explained through the change of micro-structure while the strength enhancing mechanism of polypropylene fiber for cemented clay was also revealed.
