Zusammenfassung: | The method for enhancing strength and durability of weak soils includes the steps of selecting a weak soil, such as marl or dune sand, mixing the weak soil with 2% cement by weight and between 5% and 30% by weight of Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) to form a dry mixture, mixing the dry mixture with water to form a substantially homogenized mixture, and curing the homogenized mixture, wherein curing can include the step of sealing the homogenized mixture in an environment having a temperature between 19° C. and 25° C., inclusive, for seven days. |
