The coastal saline soil, being a unique type of soil, exhibits unfavorable engineering characteristics such as solution subsidence, salt swelling, and corrosion. In order to investigate the suitability of lime, fly ash and cement solidified material for improving subgrade soil composed of saline soil, tests were conducted on liquid plastic limit, compaction, unconfined compressive strength, triaxial compression, and solution subsidence. The impact of different conditions on physical indices, mechanical properties, and settlement characteristics of the improved saline soil was analyzed. The results indicate that an increase in the content of curing agent leads to a linear rise in both liquid and plastic limits while reducing the plasticity index. Additionally, incorporating the curing agent decreases the maximum dry density of saline soil without significantly altering its optimum moisture content. Both curing agent content and age exert significant influences on the mechanical properties of coastal saline soil. When the curing agent content is below 14%, an increase in its concentration results in reduced settlement amount. Furthermore, increasing water content and compaction level effectively mitigate settlement in cured saline soils.
