[34] evaluated the mechanical performance of the exact same mixture used in this research, i.e., sandy soil amended with an AAC composed of ground waste glass (GWG), carbide lime (CL) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) with a concentration of 3 molal. The effect of key factors, such as the presence of a NaOH solution, the dry unit weight and the amount of binder, was evaluated on the unconfined compressive strength (\(q_{u}\)), initial shear modulus (G\({}_{0}\)) and accumulated loss of mass (ALM). Higher values of \(q_{u}\) were evidenced with less porous specimens containing greater amounts of binder (around 2.0 MPa). The authors concluded that this high performance is associated with the reaction mechanism (polymerization-condensation) in which the cementitious reaction products are formed in these high alkalinity media. [39], through compressive strength and durability tests, concluded that the compacted mixture of finely ground waste glass-carbide lime with an alkaline sodium hydroxide solution of 3 molal concentration has proven to be a viable material to be used in engineering applications as an alternative and sustainable replacement geomaterial for earthworks, pavement and soil stabilization. Finally, ref. [41] used calcium carbide residue (CL) to alkali-activate recycled glass powder (RGP) and improve the mechanical properties of clay soil, finding significant values of compressive strength (higher than 2 MPa) for the GP content of 15% and CL 7%, by weight. However, most of the mentioned research on the use of alternative binders for soil stabilization is still, and only, focused on laboratory characterization, while the viability and impact of the construction process associated with these alternative solutions, as well as the effect of in situ curing conditions on the mechanical properties of the stabilized soil, requires live-scale field tests. Recently, ref. [37] presented a study addressing the use of an alternative cement based on glass and carbide lime waste (without the addition of an alkaline solution) to stabilize fine sand and evaluate its use in the field as a reinforced layer underneath superficial foundation. The failure mechanisms presented were very similar to those found in similar studies using Portland cement. However, no field studies were found in the literature that addressed the implications of adding an alkaline solution to activate these precursors (glass and carbide lime waste). Thus, the present study is, to the best of the authors' knowledge, the first full-scale assessment of the application of an alternative cement based on ground glass waste (GWG) and carbide lime waste (CL) activated with an alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide (SHS) to the stabilize the fine sand. After the laboratory evaluation of the binders, several layers of fine sand were stabilized with two different types of binders--both based on GWG and CL, which were alkali-activated in one case and hydrated with water in the other--and analyzed after 14 and 120 days of curing, through their unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and initial shear modulus material stiffness (G\({}_{0}\)). These tests were performed on samples collected in the field, and the results obtained were compared with those from the specimens of the same material, fabricated in the controlled laboratory conditions. The evolution of the mechanical behavior of these materials in controlled laboratory conditions is presented throughout the curing period, up to a maximum of 120 days. Finally, the results of in situ plate load tests are also presented.
