Experimental Study on Scour Resistance Performance Enhancement of Chongqing Red Clay by Qiusheng Wang, Dalei Wang, Yunpeng Qi, Shuaikang Wang

“…Results indicate that an increased curing agent dosage significantly reduces flowability and suspended solids content of solidified soil while negligibly affecting critical shear stress; elevated cement content markedly enhances critical shear stress, slightly improves short-term flowability with reverse effects over time, and minimally impacts anti-dispersion performance; reduced water-to-solid ratio mitigates free water-induced cohesion weakening, lowering suspended solids content and flowability while increasing critical shear stress. Microstructural analysis reveals that generated C–S–H gels and ettringite (AFt) effectively fill pores, enhance matrix integrity, and improve scour resistance. …”
