Hydroceramic-Concrete Designed for a Project Material of Soil Stabilization

Abstract

As the traditional material commonly used, cement has its own limitation such as limited solidifying objects, bad stability in water, high cost and uneasy adjustment in coagulation time, not good for solidifying the waste etc.. The succeed in developing a hydroceramic-concrete for soil stabilization can take place of traditional cementing material such as conventional concrete applying and avoid the shortage of them. Here we show that a mixture of Class F fly ash, metakaolin and 8M NaOH (hydroceramic) will harden at room temperature, attaining 9.2 MPa compressive strength at 90 days, It is suggested that a hydroceramic-concrete may be used as a project material of soil stabilization as it has similar or even better compressive strength than conventional concrete.
