Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of road construction technology, and in particular to a lightweight foamed soil made entirely of solid waste, its preparation method, and its application in backfilling of abutments. Background Technology

[0002] Lightweight foamed soil is a new type of lightweight thermal insulation material with a large number of pores. It is produced by fully foaming a foaming agent using an aeration machine, thoroughly mixing the foam with cement slurry, and then pouring it in place or molding it with molds, followed by natural curing. Its key feature is the formation of numerous foam pores within the structure, which makes the concrete lightweight.

[0003] Because the compaction area behind bridge abutments, especially on the inner side of the abutment wall, is limited and cannot accommodate high-pressure compaction equipment, it is difficult to achieve the required compaction degree. The compaction quality of the roadbed behind the abutments is inherently inferior to that of the open sections. After traffic begins, repeated loads can easily cause compressive settlement of the roadbed behind the abutments. Furthermore, the connection between the roadbed and the abutment involves a combination of rigidity and flexibility; the abutment is rigid, while the roadbed is flexible. The two structures have different bearing capacities and settlement rates, which will exacerbate uneven settlement. Uneven settlement will cause vehicle bouncing, affecting driving comfort and accelerating damage to the structure and pavement.

[0004] Lightweight foamed soil, used instead of backfill, reduces the load on the foundation, significantly mitigating the gradient of differential settlement between bridges (culverts) and the roadbed. This results in a slow and uniform change in differential settlement, fundamentally eliminating the problem of vehicle bouncing between bridges (culverts) and the roadbed in highways. Ordinary lightweight foamed soil primarily uses cement as its cementing material, leading to excessive consumption of cement raw materials. Cement production requires the mining of large quantities of limestone and clay, consuming significant energy. Replacing cement with waste materials solves problems related to carbon emissions, natural resource development, and waste disposal while ensuring material performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightweight foamed soil made entirely from solid waste, its preparation method, and its application in abutment backfilling, thereby solving the problems of severe settlement, excessive cement consumption, difficulty in disposing of industrial solid waste, and excessive environmental pollution caused by existing backfilling techniques.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a lightweight foamed soil made entirely from solid waste. The lightweight foamed soil made entirely from solid waste comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of industrial solid waste cementitious material, 60-120 parts of waste incineration ash, 80-150 parts of waste sintered bricks, 2-4 parts of alkali activator, 1-2 parts of water-reducing agent, 0.5-1 part of expanding agent, 2-4 parts of dense waterproofing agent, 6-10 parts of recycled plastic granules, 1-3 parts of crack-resistant fiber, 2-3 parts of antifreeze agent, 10-20 parts of foaming agent, 1-3 parts of foam stabilizer, and 120-200 parts of water.

[0007] Preferably, the industrial solid waste cementing material comprises an activating material and a potential cementing material in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:2. The activating material is mainly composed of carbide slag, mixed with any one or two of cement and hydrated lime. The potential cementing material is any one or more of desulfurized gypsum, red mud, slag, and fly ash.

[0008] Preferably, the red mud is sintered red mud that has not been calcined, dried at 105°C for at least 48 hours, and then crushed and sieved.

[0009] Preferably, the waste incineration ash is the bottom ash portion after waste incineration. After crushing, 3 wt‰ of COF material is added and mixed evenly; the COF material is a terpyridine covalent organic framework material.

[0010] Preferably, the waste sintered bricks are processed into powder material through crushing and other processes.

[0011] Preferably, the alkali activator is Na2SiO3 powder with a modulus of 3.0; the water-reducing agent is one or a combination of polycarboxylate water-reducing agent and naphthalene-based water-reducing agent; and the expanding agent is one or a combination of magnesium oxide and calcium sulfoaluminate.

[0012] Preferably, the anti-cracking fiber is one or a combination of two or more of basalt fiber, polyester fiber, and glass fiber; the organic antifreeze agent is one or a combination of glycerol, triethanolamine, glucose, urea, and ethylene glycol.

[0013] Foamed lightweight soil has a high drying shrinkage problem, making it prone to drying shrinkage cracks during the setting and hardening process. Using expansion agents and crack-resistant fibers can effectively reduce drying shrinkage.

[0014] Preferably, the foaming agent is any one of rosin-based foaming agents, anionic surfactants with tertiary amine side groups, protein-based foaming agents, and composite foaming agents; the foam stabilizer is any one of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose ether, calcium stearate, trisodium phosphate, and redispersible latex powder.

[0015] This invention also provides a method for preparing the above-mentioned lightweight foamed soil made entirely from solid waste, comprising the following steps:

[0016] S1. Mix the foaming agent and foam stabilizer to prepare foam for later use;

[0017] S2. Stir the industrial solid waste cementitious material, waste incineration ash, waste sintered bricks, alkali activator, water reducing agent, expansion agent, densifying and waterproofing agent, recycled plastic granules, crack-resistant fiber and antifreeze agent at a speed of 300-500 r / min for 3-4 min to form a uniform dry mixture. Then mix it with the remaining water evenly and stir for 60-90 s to obtain premixed lightweight foamed soil for later use.

[0018] S3. Mechanically mix the premixed lightweight foam soil with the foam for 90-150 seconds, then pour, solidify and cure to obtain the solid waste lightweight foam soil.

[0019] The lightweight foamed soil provided by this invention is used to form a lightweight foamed soil abutment backfill structure, which is set between the roadbed and the bridge abutment. The overlap between the roadbed and the lightweight foamed soil abutment backfill structure is excavated into an inclined step. The side of the lightweight foamed soil abutment backfill structure above the roadbed is a cement-stabilized crushed stone base course, and the side of the abutment is a concrete slab. Both the cement-stabilized crushed stone base course and the concrete slab are vertically cut into blocks, and the junction is a sloping cut with the concrete at the bottom. The cement-stabilized crushed stone base course and the concrete slab are waterproof layers, which overlap to the abutment cap. Asphalt concrete is laid on top of the waterproof layer.

[0020] Preferably, the all-solid-waste lightweight foam soil backfill structure is divided into longitudinal blocks and connected horizontally and longitudinally using bamboo reinforcement.

[0021] Lightweight foamed soil is used for backfilling abutments. The strength of the backfill material is much higher than that of ordinary subgrade soil materials, and it has the characteristics of low material consumption and light weight.

[0022] Therefore, the present invention, employing the above-mentioned lightweight foamed soil made entirely from solid waste, its preparation method, and its application in abutment backfilling, has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] (1) In the vertical direction from the abutment to the roadbed, the thickness of the lightweight foamed soil decreases sequentially, and the overall strength shows a decreasing trend. Above the lightweight foamed soil, a concrete slab, a concrete slab-stabilized crushed stone base transition zone, and a stabilized crushed stone base are successively adopted to achieve a smooth transition from the abutment to the roadbed. The lightweight foamed soil material is used in small quantities and is lightweight, which effectively reduces the compression on the underlying structure and greatly slows down the settlement phenomenon. The porous structure of the material greatly increases the permeability of the abutment backfill. Recycled plastic particles are dispersed in the grid and form an insulation layer in the lightweight foamed soil, which significantly improves the insulation effect of the lightweight concrete and gives the lightweight foamed soil abutment backfill structure good frost resistance. The lightweight foamed soil backfill, the cement-stabilized crushed stone base course, and the concrete slab above the abutment are all vertically segmented into block structures, eliminating the traditional overall settlement of bridge approach slabs. Furthermore, bamboo reinforcement is used for horizontal longitudinal connection, forming a flexible structure. Settlement in some areas causes slight deformation of the surrounding block structures, creating a transition zone between the settled and intact areas, effectively reducing vehicle accidents caused by bridge approach slab slabs. The roadbed steps are vertically slightly inclined, causing the lightweight foamed soil blocks to tend to move towards the abutment, effectively reducing compression on the relatively low-strength roadbed and minimizing roadbed deformation.

[0024] (2) Using waste incineration ash and waste sintered bricks as aggregates in lightweight foamed soil can fully utilize their lightweight aggregate characteristics. Lightweight foamed soil can replace backfill soil in construction to reduce the load on the foundation, which can greatly alleviate the gradient of differential settlement between bridge (culvert) and roadbed, making the differential settlement between bridge foundations slow and uniform. Using industrial solid waste cementing materials to replace cement, and waste incineration ash and waste sintered bricks to replace raw soil, achieves the synergistic utilization of multiple solid wastes, eliminates the use of cement and raw soil, improves the utilization rate of industrial solid waste, greatly reduces the production cost and energy consumption of foamed lightweight soil, saves natural resources, and protects the environment. At the same time, waste incineration ash and waste sintered bricks have certain potential cementing activity, which plays a role in improving mechanical strength. The low degree of hydration of industrial solid waste in the early stage and the slow strength formation, combined with the grid structure formed by anti-cracking fibers, helps to alleviate the problem of drying shrinkage cracks. The tripyridine covalent organic framework material can coordinate and adsorb metal ions, which greatly alleviates the problem of heavy metal pollution of the surrounding land by waste incineration ash.
