Systems for and methods of using glass fibers as a soil-based additive to enhance crop and plant growth are disclosed. By replacing a volumetric portion of the soil with the fibers, the plant-available water (PAW) of the amended soil is increased.

System and means soil stabilization and moisture control for building foundations including methods and systems for stabilization moisture in a site for building foundation by applying soil moisture stabilization material in various forms, a preferred stabilization material being a mixture of aluninosilicate Pozzolan mineral and granular material such as sand.

A soil stabilization mixture comprising a mixture of soil to be stabilized, fibers and binder. The soil and the fibers are mixed together. The binder, which acts as a chemical stabilizer, is then added and mixing continues. The mixture is then applied to the soil to be stabilized and the stabilized soil is then compacted. The fibers can be recycled carpet fibers, fiber reinforced polymer, biofibers or a mixture thereof. The binder includes mixtures of Portland cement and at least one of crushed glass, metakaolin and ground blast furnace slag.

A method to manufacture native soil flowable fill includes hydro excavating native soil to form a hole at a first excavation, and transferring the native soil from the first excavation to a mixing tank. The method also includes adding a pozzolan component, cement and water to the mixing tank, mixing the native soil in the mixing tank with the added pozzolan component, cement and water to form the native soil flowable fill, and transferring the native soil flowable fill back to the first excavation and into the hole.

The present disclosure provides an eco-friendly high-performance all-solid-waste soil-binding material and a preparation method and use method thereof, and relates to the field of weak soil solidifying agents. The eco-friendly high-performance all-solid-waste soil-binding material includes the following components in parts by weight: a slag powder: 30 parts to 60 parts, a fly ash: 10 parts to 25 parts, a steel-slag powder: 10 parts to 30 parts, an alkaline residue powder: 5 parts to 15 parts, and a lithium-battery solid waste: 5 parts to 15 parts. The implementation of the present disclosure can improve a solidification strength of the soil-binding material, reduce a cost of the soil-binding material, and makes the soil-binding material eco-friendly.

Described herein are synergetic preparations for enhancing the water holding capacities of solid plant growth medium, consisting of a) ground zeolite, and b) powdered hypocalcic Montmorillonite expanse clay, and optionally c) granular expansive clay. Wherein the ratio of zeolite to Montmorillonite is between 1 to 0.25 and 1 to 30, and the ratio of powdered hypocalcic Montmorillonite expanse clay in the total amount of expansive clay is between 2 and 100%. Further optionally including components which aid product attractiveness, extend soil water retention, and assist plant and soil microbe growth.
