ABSTRACT
This article centers its investigation on high-moisture-content solidified lightweight soil in the
Binhai New Area of Tianjin. It examines the shear mechanical properties under conditions of significant
deformation, supplying pertinent reference values and theoretical foundations for engineering practice.
The results demonstrate that the curve for solidified lightweight soil under substantial shear conditions
manifests a strain-softening tendency. As normal stress escalates, both peak and residual strength
increase while the degree of softening diminishes. The peak strength envelope at varying shear rates
forms an upward zigzagging line, with the bending degree of the line augmenting as the rate increases.
As the shear rate elevates, the cohesive strength within the peak strength parameters intensifies, the
internal friction angle remains constant, and the residual strength parameters remain unaffected by the
shear rate. This furnishes theoretical guidance for the applied engineering of blown-cured lightweight
soil.
