摘要：The performance of a new kind of confined stabilized soil (CSS) was investigated which was constructed by filling the stabilized soil, which was made by mixing soil with a binder containing a high content of expansive component, into an engineering plastic pipe. Cube compressive strength of the stabilized soil formed with constraint and axial compression performance of stabilized soil cylinders confined with the constraint pipe were measured. The results indicated that combining the constraint pipe and the binder containing expansion component could achieve such effects: higher production of expansive hydrates could be adopted so as to fill more voids in the stabilized soil and improve its strength; at the same time compressive prestress built on the core stabilized soil, combined of which hoop constraint provided effective radial compressive force on the core stabilized soil. These effects made the CSS acquire plastic failure mode and more than twice bearing capacity of ordinary stabilized soil with the same binder content.
