“…Abundant silt is deposited in waterways, rivers, lakes, and harbors, and it must be dredged to maintain adequate channel depth, expand storage capacity, and improve water quality (Cao et al, 2019(Cao et al, , 2020. Dredged silt has high initial contents of water and clay (Cao et al, 2021b) and contains considerable quantities of salts and organic matter (Grubb et al, 2010;Huang et al, 2017;Ying et al, 2021Ying et al, , 2022, resulting in poor dehydration, difficult processing, and high soil lateral pressure (Zhang et al, 2022). A practical and reasonable solution is to improve the physical and mechanical properties of dredged silt through cement solidification, then use the solidified clay to fill structures such as embankments, banks, and artificial islands (Zhang et al, 2020).…”

Cement-solidified clay (CSC) is an important filler material in land reclamation projects. Its strength is greatly affected by its organic matter content and curing temperature. This work reports an experimental study of the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of CSC with respect to its initial water content w, cement incorporation ratio Aw, organic matter content Co, curing temperature T, and curing duration. A model (UCSOT) for predicting the UCS of CSC is established considering the influence of organic matter and curing temperature. A procedure to implement the model is proposed, and the accuracy of the model is verified. The results show that for a given curing duration, UCS decreases with increases in Co and w, and increases with increases in T and Aw. The influence of organic matter on the UCS is greatly affected by Aw, with a threshold of Aw = 15%. High-temperature curing increases the early and ultimate strengths of CSC, and organic matter increases this temperature sensitivity. Multiple regression characterization using cement content, w, and Co as independent control parameters accurately reflects the UCS at the reference temperature. On this basis, the UCSOT model established here considering the influence of organic matter and curing temperature has universal applicability.
