Abstract:Aiming at the problems of high material costs and insufficient environmental friendliness in grouting materials for karst caves in high-speed railway karst areas, a cement-solid waste-based solidified fluidized expansive soil grouting filling material is developed by using coarse fly ash and mineral powder in conjunction with cement. Through orthogonal experiments, the variation patterns of material flow expansion and uniaxial compressive strength are explored, and combined with XRD microscopic tests, the hydration mechanism is revealed. The results indicate that cement and coarse fly ash significantly affect two core indicators of the material. The flow spread decreases as the cement content increases and the coarse fly ash and mineral powder content decrease. Meanwhile, the compressive strength increases as the cement and mineral powder content increase and the coarse fly ash content decreases. The maximum flow spread of the material reaches 237 mm, and the maximum compressive strength at 28 days is 15.02 MPa. The hydration products are mainly C-S-(A)-H and AFt. Optimizing the content of cementitious materials and extending the curing period can promote the hydration reaction and enhance the strength. By optimizing the mechanical properties of materials, a filling material suitable for grouting in karst caves of high-speed railways is obtained, providing a low-cost and green solution for the management of karst engineering.
