To achieve effective consolidation of fine particles in moraine and enhance the freeze-thaw resistance of the consolidated body, this study developed a novel grouting material using sodium silicate, lipid-based curing agents, and acidic catalysts. The gelation time and rheological properties of this material were tested. The freeze-thaw resistance was studied through changes in uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) after freeze-thaw cycles, while the consolidation mechanism was analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicate that the material’s gelation time can be controlled between 30s and 1600s, with an initial viscosity ranging from 5.9 to 9.8 mPa·s. Predictive models for these two indicators were established, and variance analysis revealed the influence ranking for gelation time: phosphoric acid dosage had the greatest effect, followed by EGDA content, with the Baume degree of sodium silicate having the least effect. The initial viscosity positively correlated with the Baume degree of sodium silicate and exhibited exponential growth over time. EGDA addition enhanced UCS by over 450%, reaching 1.2 MPa. During freeze-thaw cycles, strength degradation of the consolidated body was reduced by 10% to 30%. Microstructural tests showed that EGDA promotes silica gel formation and creates a network structure with unreacted sodium silicate, forming a dense consolidated body with moraine fine particles, thereby enhancing freeze-thaw resistance. These findings provide design references and theoretical support for moraine grouting in cold regions.
