Publication Open Access Experimental study of the valorization of sulfate soils for use as construction material(MDPI, 2022) Seco Meneses, Andrés; Del Castillo García, Jesús María; Perlot, Céline; Marcelino Sádaba, Sara; Prieto Cobo, Eduardo; Espuelas Zuazu, Sandra; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThis article shows an experimental investigation carried out for the stabilization of a sulfate soil. The stabilization was carried out in two phases: the first phase was the consumption of the sulfate present in the soil through its controlled transformation into ettringite. After this, a modified soil with lower maximum density, greater optimum moisture identified via standard proctor (SP) test, no plasticity and improved unconfined compressive strength (UCS) was obtained. In the second phase, the modified soil was stabilized by the use of different additives rich in oxides of calcium or magnesium, combined with by-products or waste materials containing reactive aluminum or silicon oxides. As a result, the mechanical strength of the modified soil was improved. In this phase, a binary binder composed of a magnesium oxide product and ground granulated blast-furnace slags (GGBS) obtained the highest UCS. The binary binder composed of lime and an alumina filler formed ettringite in the treated soil. This experiment allowed for the validation of a two-phase stabilization process and the non-conventional additives used, mainly magnesium oxide and GGBS, even for high-bearing-requirement pavement layers’ construction.Publication Open Access Sulfate soils stabilization with magnesium-based binders(Elsevier, 2016) Seco Meneses, Andrés; Miqueléiz Jiménez, Luis; Prieto Cobo, Eduardo; Marcelino Sádaba, Sara; García, Beñat; Urmeneta, Pablo; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaSulfate soils' stabilization is a very interesting subject with technical, economic and environmental implications. The difficulty of their stabilization is due to the fact that the usual stabilizer additives are based on calcium. In these soils, sulfate combines with the calcium from the additive and the aluminum from the clay, resulting in a highly hydrated expansive mineral named ettringite. This provokes the swelling of the treated material and even its destruction. This study analyzes the result of the substitution of the calciumbased additives by one alternative additive based on magnesium, an industrial byproduct named PC-8, in the stabilization of five different sulfate soils. From a mechanical point of view soils treated with PC-8 reached similar resistance values to the lime treated ones, of about 2–3 MPa for 4% dosage and 2–5 MPa for 8% dosage, being usually better with the PC-8 results than with the lime ones. When PC-8 was combined with GGBS the resistance values increased up to 11–13 MPa and the lime-GGBS reached the 6–7 MPa. The natural swelling of the soils treated with PC-8 decreased substantially and maintained constant even for immersion at long-term. In the case of the soils treated with lime, long-termswelling increased up to very high values even in the case of soilswithout natural swelling. XRD analysis of these samples demonstrated the existence of ettringite in 4 of the 5 soilswhen theywere treated with lime and there was not expansive minerals in the PC-8 treated soils, agreeing with the swelling observed behavior of the soils when treated with both additives.
