Dynamic Compression Properties of Ni-Fe Slag Powder Soil Cement under Impact Load

Abstract

In this research, Ni-Fe slag powder and mineral powder are blended into mineral admixtures and added to soil cement, with the aim of investigating the mechanical property of soil cement under a dynamic environment, and the dynamic properties of Ni-Fe slag powder soil cement after impact compression are obtained by conducting split-Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. The results show that under the same age and different admixture conditions, the dynamic stress of Ni-Fe slag powder soil cement increases first and then decreases and reaches the maximum when the admixture ratio is 40%, and the dynamic stresses at 7 d, 28 d and 60 d were 5.10 MPa, 9.73 MPa and 13.51 MPa, respectively. Under the same admixture ratio, Ni-Fe slag powder soil cement shows an increasing trend in dynamic stress with age, and its growth rate at the curing age from 7 d and 28 d is significantly higher than that at the curing age from 28 d to 60 d. After comparison, it is concluded that the best admixture ratio for Ni-Fe slag powder is 40%, which is close to the maximum value of 45% for mineral admixtures to replace cement as specified in the national standard.
