Freeze-Thaw Performance of Silt Sand Treated with Lignin by Fu Zhu, Jiayu Li, Wenhao Jiang, Shuang Zhang, Weizhi Dong

“…The test results of soil microstructure indicated that, before freeze-thaw, the silt sand and silt sand treated with lignin were structurally compact; after freeze-thaw, the silt sand showed numerous cracks and pores and had a loose soil structure, whereas the silt sand treated with lignin showed fewer cracks and pores, and its soil structure was more compact under the encapsulation and filling action of cementitious materials. No new chemical elements, mineral components, or functional groups were produced when lignin was mixed with silt sand. …”
