Cylindrical specimens of =H=50 and 100 mm, dry density ρ=1.64, 1.74, 1.84 g/cm3, initial moisture content w=8.8%, 10.8%, 12.8%, were prepared by taking the expansive remolded mudstone with particle size smaller than 5mm in Chengde, Hebei province as the raw material. The axial expansion force Pax of the specimen and the circumferential expansion force Pcir were tested by the self-designed test equipment. The remolded mudstone specimens with =H=100 mm were soaked in alkaline simulated groundwater, acid simulated rainwater, and distilled water for 2 hours, and their Pax were tested; and the influence of specimen size, ρ, w and environmental water state on the Pax of remolded mudstone specimen was studied. Orthogonal method was used to analyze the sensitivity of ρ, w and environmental water state and pretreatment method to the influence of the axial and circumferential expansion forces of remolded mudstone specimen; and the variation rule of Pax and Pcir of the remolded mudstone specimen of the allowable micro-deformation rate Δ=0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, ρ=1.84 g/cm3, w=8.8%, =H=100 mm was studied. The results show that the Pax of =H=100 mm remolded mudstone specimens is 7.56% to 26.01% smaller than that of =H=50 mm. The Pax of specimens with two sizes decrease with the increase of w and increase with the increase of ρ; the Pax of the specimen soaked in alkaline simulated groundwater is 1.4~1.9 times larger than that of distilled water, while the Pax of the specimen soaked in acid simulated rainwater and Pcir is basically the same as the distilled water immersion; among the four factors, the pretreatment method is the main factor that affects Pax and Pcir. The more pre-disintegration times, the smaller the Pax and Pcir. The Pcir can be reduced by about 80% with 5% addition of cement; increasing Δ can effectively reduce the Pax and Pcir. When Δ is increased from 0% to 5%, the Pax and Pcir are reduced by 72.5% and 53.9% respectively.
