Abstract:In order to explore the effect of Nano-MgO on the modification of cement subgrade soil under short age, non-consolidation and non-drainage (UU) triaxial tests were carried out respectively on the samples of cement modified subgrade soil (referred to as "cement-soil Nano-MgO modified cement subgrade soil (referred to as "Nano-cement-soil The results show that: (1) the deviation-axial strain curves of cement-soil and Nano-cement-soil samples are softening curves, and the samples show brittle failure. (2) The improvement of mechanical properties of cement-soil and Nano-cement-soil have good sensitivity to the increase of confining pressure. (3) The addition of Nano-MgO has a good improving effect on the peak stress, residual stress, cohesion and internal friction Angle of cement soil samples.The above results show that it is feasible to improve the mechanical properties of cement soil samples by adding Nano-MgO, and Nano-MgO mainly focuses on the improvement of the sample structure.
