Abstract

The compressive strength, flexural strength and fatigue properties of foamed lightweight soil with different mix proportions were systematically analyzed through experiments in this paper. And the main factors influencing the mechanical and fatigue properties of foamed lightweight soil were studied. Combined with the experimental data, the fatigue equation of foamed lightweight soil was derived. The service life of foamed lightweight soil used for highway subgrade construction material was analyzed according to the stress-strain properties of the actual pavement structure. The results show that the foamed lightweight soil can be used as highway subgrade construction material. These would be beneficial to the popularization and application of foamed lightweight soil.
