Exploration and development of shale gas generate a lot of water-based drilling cuttings (WDC), which can then be used in concrete engineering. This work studied mix ratio optimization, mechanical properties, leaching characteristics and the microstructure of the WDC concrete. The results showed that the pH and COD values of these WDC were slightly above 9.0 and 60, respectively. All other indices satisfied the first grade standard of Chinese standard GB8978. On the other hand, a moderate amount of WDC can be improved concrete properties, especially its workability and compressive strength. When the water-binder ratio is 0.52 and the sand ratio is 41%, we can obtain C25 strength grade and 130 ~ 140 mm slump grade concrete by adding high efficiency water reducing agent and fly ash. XRD and SEM analysis showed that the silica and aluminum oxide in WDC reacted with calcium hydroxide to form secondary hydration products: C–S–H gel and ettringite, which are conducive to the formation of concrete strength and solidified the heavy metals and other contaminants. EDX analysis found it is known that the hydration products in WDC concrete can bind metal elements well. The environmental leaching test shows that the recycled WDC added to concrete products as aggregate and admixture is very environmentally friendly and sustainable.
