摘要

To assess the stabilizing effect of sodium alginate (SA) on cement soil subjected to dry–wet cycles, a comprehensive study was conducted involving UCS tests, dynamic triaxial tests, SEM analysis, and XRD analysis. The results showed that after 11 dry–wet cycles, the residual strength of the cement soil was 11.25 kPa with a 90.1% strength loss rate, while the SA-modified soil had a 72% loss rate and a residual strength of 432 kPa. Dynamic strain increased and dynamic elastic modulus decreased with higher dynamic stress, while higher loading frequencies reduced dynamic strain and increased dynamic elastic modulus. Increased cycle counts led to higher dynamic strain and lower dynamic elastic modulus. The damping ratio curves shifted downward with higher frequencies and moved rightward with more cycles. SEM and XRD analyses revealed that SA formed reticular cementitious materials that encapsulated soil particles and aggregated fines into larger particles. Sodium alginate significantly enhanced the soil’s resistance to dry–wet cycles, providing valuable insights for coastal and soft soil subgrade engineering design.
