Abstract:In response to the issues of high water content and difficult disposal of waste engineering slurry generated during bored pile construction, as well as the high costs, high carbon emissions, and difficulty in utilizing mud cakes in traditional slurry dewatering and drying disposal technologies, this study proposes a technical solution for preparing flowable backfill materials from engineering slurry for use in engineering backfilling. The technology was applied in a traffic function improvement project of a Shanghai expressway, and an analysis of its technical-economic feasibility and carbon reduction benefits was conducted. The results show that the 7 d and 28 d compressive strengths of the flowable backfill materials prepared from engineering slurry are 0.65 MPa and 1.12 MPa, respectively, with a slump flow of 760 mm. After single-point pouring on site, the flowable backfill material can self-compact around the sidewalls of the foundation cap, achieving good backfilling results. Compared to traditional engineering slurry dewatering and drying disposal technologies, the cost of disposing of engineering slurry per cubic meter with this technology can be reduced by about 17.50%, with a carbon reduction of about 45.59%.
