Resourceful utilisation of tailings waste remains a hotspot in global research. While silica-aluminate-rich copper tailings can serve as raw materials for geopolymer preparation, their high Si/Al ratio significantly limits the geopolymerization degree. This study investigates the feasibility of developing copper tailings-based geopolymers for road base applications, using copper tailings as the primary raw material supplemented with 30 % soft soil, 15 % fly ash, and 5 % cement. The effect of NaOH content on the strength characteristics of copper tailings-based geopolymers was explored by the unconfined compressive strength test and triaxial test. The mineral composition and microstructure of copper tailings-based geopolymers specimens were characterised based on the microscopic technique. The results show that: (1) With the increase of NaOH content, the unconfined compressive strength of the copper tailings base polymer increases and then decreases, and reach the maximum value when the NaOH content is 1 %. Compared with the sample without NaOH, the addition of 1 % NaOH increased the unconfined compressive strength by 47 % at the early stage and 69 % at 28d curing age. (2) An optimal NaOH content significantly improves the shear performance of the copper tailings-based polymer, primarily by enhancing its cohesion. Triaxial test results demonstrate that 1 % NaOH addition increases cohesion by 73 % at 28d curing age. (3) The NaOH promotes the formation of geopolymer gel, refines the pore structure, and increases sample density, thereby enhancing strength. Overall, the research results can provide a reference for the application of copper tailings solid waste in roadbed materials.
