Remarksa

Chen et al. [51]

Loess

RM; cement

0–25% (RM); 5% (cement)

Compaction; UCS; resistivity; dynamic triaxial; microscopic

Increases compaction, strength, and dynamic properties

Cementation of hydration products and pore filling

The optimum RM content is approximately 15%–20%

Chen et al. [31]

Loess

RM; cement

15% (RM); 5% (cement)

Dynamic triaxial; leaching toxicity; microscopic

Increases failure dynamic stress, and dynamic elastic modulus

Cementation of hydration products and pore filling

-

Wan et al. [32]

MDC

RM; PG

0–10% (RM and PG)

UCS; hydraulic conductivity; microscopic

Increases UCS and decreases hydraulic conductivity

Cementation of hydration products and pore filling

5% RM + 5% PG is most effective in improving UCS of MDC
