This study proposes to explore solid waste material (SWM) reuse with the riverway silt and sediment, and examines the impacts of chemical composition on the road construction through sensitivity analysis. Considering the characteristics of silt mixture, it is necessary to investigate the modi ed materials to improve the mechanical feasibility for subgrade lling. In this study, modi cation schemes for construction waste and garbage slag presented well mechanical properties and environmental bene ts in sensitivity analysis, especially for the high-water content silt modi ed by the garbage slag and lime mixture. The results indicate the lime-improved silt with medium water content is a cheap and highperformance material compared to the original silt. Moreover, modi ed silt demonstrated superior features in particle size, permeability and bearing capacity. Among six lime-improving schemes, the California bearer ratio (CBR 2.5 ) increased from 7.1 to 19.6, while the minimum CBR 2.5 was 2.45 times to the original silt. At last, this study proposes the engineering measures to improve the silt mixture subgrade to prevent heavy metals from polluting the water and soil environment. Further implications were also discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
