Salt-frost heaving of canal foundation saline soils is the primary cause of damage to the lining structures of water conveyance channels in the Hetao Irrigation District, China. Chemical solidification of saline soils can mitigate frost heave; however, application studies exploring the salt-frost heave resistance of saline soils solidified through the synergistic use of multiple industrial solid wastes in the Hetao remain limited. This study employs a sustainable solidifying material composed of slag, fly ash, coal gangue, coal-based metakaolin, carbide slag, and potassium silicate activator. The optimal mix ratio was determined using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Unidirectional freezing tests evaluated the effects of solidification material content, curing period, and salt content on salt-frost heave development. Unconfined compressive strength tests assessed salt-frost heave durability of high-salinity solidified saline soils. Microstructural characteristics were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry (MIP), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG) to investigate resistance mechanisms. Results indicated that the industrial waste materials exhibited synergistic effects in an alkaline environment, with the optimal mix ratio of slag, fly ash, coal gangue, coal-based metakaolin, carbide slag, and potassium silicate at 21:25:33:8:7:6. Increasing solidified material content and curing time significantly enhanced salt-frost heave resistance, as evidenced by improved freezing temperature stability, deeper freezing front migration, and reduced salt-frost heave rate. The optimal group (35 % solidifier, 7 days curing) showed a 5.53 degrees C increase in stable freezing temperature, a 3.78 cm upward migration of the freezing front, and a 3.94 % reduction in salt-frost heave rate. Salt-frost heave durability of highsalinity soils improved post-solidification, with a gradual decrease in the degradation of unconfined compressive strength, achieving a minimum weakening of 21.13 %. Hydration products C-S-H, C-A-H, and AFt filled voids between soil particles, restricting water and salt migration. Hydration of industrial wastes reduced free water and SO24 content, decreasing water-salt crystallization and mitigating salt-frost heave. The findings provide an engineering reference for in-situ treatment of salt-frost heaving in saline soils of water conveyance channels in the Hetao Irrigation District.
