Abstract

In order to improve the mechanical properties of high moisture content and low strength of clay particles in Shanghai, the effects of different lignin content on the unconfined compressive strength of EICP-lignin-cured clay were studied by using the method of lignin combined with EICP technology to strengthen the clay by lignin combined with EICP technology. The experimental results showed that EICP-lignin could enhance the unconfined compressive strength of Shanghai clay. With the increase of lignin content, the unconfined compressive strength of clay first increased and then decreased, and there was an optimal content value. The optimal lignin content is 8%.
