Introduction Internal erosion triggered by water pipeline leaks seriously threatens the stability of urban ground. Hangzhou, a city in Zhejiang Province, China, is facing critical challenges due to ground collapse (UGC) caused internal erosion. However, there lack research on prevention UGC improving erodibility underground soil. Addressing this issue utmost importance ensure city’s and safety. This paper proposes improve typical sandy silt soils with chemical stabilisers. Methods The effects three stabilisers, lignosulphonate (LS), lime (LI), lignin fibre (LF), shear stress ( τ c ) coefficient k d were investigated, which from Zhejiang, hole test (HET) at different mixing amounts conservation times. Results findings indicate that LF mainly improves resistance increasing , maximum increase 2.38 times; LI decreasing decrease 2.18 After adding LS, did not change significantly. scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed inclusion led formation larger agglomerates microstructure soil remained dispersed even after LS. Various stabilisers used exhibited distinct mechanisms. Sandy improved exfoliated into agglomerates, displaying high On other hand, treated still lacks protective layer shows minimal improvements its ability withstand In contrast, LS-amended remains stripped individual particles insignificant changes resistance. Discussion study can provide conceptual framework for choosing foundation treatment techniques future development projects.
