Abstract The construction of a slurry shield tunnel produces large amount of excavated soil. Direct discharge of the excavated soil by transportation not only increases the overall construction cost but also raises environmental concerns of pollution. In this study, we explore in-situ recycle of excavated soil in the Nanjing Yangtze River tunnel project as the back-fill grout. A series of laboratory were carried out to determine the synchronous grout parameters, including compression strength and shear strength, initial setting time, fluidity, consistency, and bleeding rate. The mixture ratio of the back-fill grout is also discussed to optimize the grout performance. It is found that: (1) the excavated soil produced from the construction of slurry shield tunnel in this project can be reused as the material of back-fill grout in the sand stratum; (2) Proper selection of binder/sand ratio and fly ash/cement ratio improves the performance of the synchronous grout. The test results demonstrated that the discharged soil can be recycled in-situ as the grouting material in the sand stratum.
