In order to solve the defects of poor water stability and easy disintegration of red clay, industrial solid waste [fly ash (FA), phosphogypsum] combined with cement (C) was used to improve red clay. The mechanical properties, water stability and micro-mechanisms of the industrial solid waste-cement amended red clay were investigated through indoor tests. The results show that the strength of the improved soil shows a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the increase of the ratio (R) of phosphogypsum replacing fly ash.When the cement doping is 7% and R=7%, the maximum dry density of improved soil increases by 2.6%, the 7-day unconfined compressive strength (UCS) increases by 11%, and the 28-day UCS increases by 57%, which meets the bearing standard of subgrade for road use. There is no obvious change in the water-filled specimen after the 7-day maintenance, the resistance to disintegration is enhanced, and the water stability coefficient of the specimen reaches 92.9% in the 28-day maintenance. The water stability coefficient of the specimen reaches 92.9%, and the water stability coefficient increases 1.61 times. The microscopic analysis shows that the replacement of fly ash by phosphogypsum promoted the generation of new hydration products of ettringite and calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H), which transforms the soil body from fragmented granular to a denser gel network structure, enhances the bonding between the red clay particles, and fills up the pore space at the same time. The results verifies the feasibility of industrial solid waste-cement-amended red clay as roadbed fill, provides a solid theoretical foundation and basis for engineering practice, and broadened the reuse of industrial solid waste.
