Calcium Carbide Residue (CCR) and Fly Ash (FA) are waste by-products from acetylene gas and power plant production, respectively. The liquid alkaline activator studied in this research is a mixture of sodium silicate solution (Na2SiO3), water and CCR. The primary aim of this research is to investigate the viability of using CCR, a cementitious waste material, as an alkaline activator and FA as a precursor to improve the engineering properties of a problematic silty clay to facilitate its usage as stabilized subgrade material. The influential factors studied are Na2SiO3/water ratio, FA replacement ratio, curing time, curing temperature and soaking condition for a fixed CCR content of 7%. Strength development is investigated via the unconfine...
