Improving the engineering and mechanical properties of marine clay (MC) by modifying it with soda residue (SR) and fly ash (FA), and stabilising with cement and /or lime to create Soda residue-Fly ash stabilised soil (SRFSS). Using the orthogonal design, the mechanical properties of SRFSS were analyzed, recommending a basic proportion of 70% SR + 20% FA + 10% MC. Results showed SR significantly impacted optimum water content (OWC), unconfined compressive strength (UCS), and water absorption quality. FA influenced the maximum dry density (MDD), while cohesion (c) was mainly affected by lime and cement. Cement had a higher unit contribution rate to mechanical indices than lime, except for MDD and OWC. The excellent properties of SRFSS were derived from good gradation and the cementation action of the materials. This research provides a solution for improving MC properties and promoting solid waste reutilisation.
