Enhancement of strength of coal fly ash–carbide lime blends through chemical and mechanical activation

Experimental investigation on strength development of lime stabilized loess

“…From previous studies, it reveals that the strength of stabilized soil is mainly governed by the amount of stabilizing agent and the porosity of the mixture. [50][51][52] Fig. 7(a)-(e) present the variations between UCS and the voids/lime ratio for lime stabilized loess with various curing time.…”

“…Coal fly ash and carbide lime can be used for the preparation of building materials, but concrete prepared from recycled materials needs a lengthy curing period to achieve the prescribed compressive strength at ambient temperatures. Consoli et al (2017) studied the impact of the addition of NaCl on FA-carbide lime blends. The cured blends were tested, and the results showed three times the unconfined compressive strength with an addition of 1.0% NaCl or grinding FA compared to without NaCl addition.…”
