Research for Dynamic Modulus and Damping Ratio of Fly Ash Modified Loess

Environment pollution and exhaustion of mineral resources aroused strongly research and development of fly ash utilization. As a kind of foundation treatment method, improved by fly ash is more and more used in highway, railway roadbed construction. With the increase of speed of vehicles and vehicle load, the influence of dynamic load on the subgrade has caused people's concern. In this paper, based on fly ash modified loess, dynamic property of modified fly ash loess is discussed through the dynamic triaxial test of the unsaturation disturbed loess. The effect of the dynamic elastic modulus and the damping ratio with different amount of fly ash loess is studied. The results show that the difference of dynamic properties in dynamic load and static load is large. It mainly presents the hysteresis quality and nonlinear relationship between dynamic stress and dynamic strain. And the dynamic elasticity modulus increases with fly ash mixed amount.
