Strength Characteristics of Clay Stabilized with Fly-ash Based Geopolymer Incorporating Granulated Slag
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The use of traditional binders (e.g., lime or cement) in soil stabilization faces many obstacles of environmental nature, and geopolymers have been recently become an attractive alternative binder that may overpasses such obstacles. However, the literature lacks detailed information in relation to the geo-mechanical characteristics of geopolymer-stabilized soils and this paper fills in part of this gap. The paper presents an evaluation of the stress-strain behavior of two natural clays of different mineralogy treated with fly-ash based geopolymer. Laboratory experiments were performed including the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) tests and Consolidated Undrained (CU) triaxial tests under different confining pressures. The results indicate that the addition of geopolymer increases the strength and stiffness of clay, which contributes to higher uniaxial and triaxial peak stresses. The confining pressure was found to have a considerable influence on the stress-strain behavior and excess pore-water pressure obtained from the CU tests. The results also demonstrate that clay mineralogy is an important factor that affects the stress-strain performance of geopolymer-treated clay.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
