description With the continuous improvement of the construction of the ecological economic system in the new era, the problem of heavy metal pollution has become an important issue in urban construction. In this paper, Zn<sup>2+</sup> contaminated red clay is used as the research object, and calcium superphosphate and calcium oxide are used as curing agents to conduct the simultaneous test of unconfined compressive strength-resistivity. The mechanical properties and resistivity of the contaminated soil under different test conditions were analyzed to investigate their effects on the cured red clay. The results showed that different contamination concentrations showed different weakening effects on the unconfined compressive strength of red clay soils, and the unconfined compressive strength of cured soils increased significantly. The age of maintenance affects the unconfined compressive strength of cured soil, and the growth of unconfined compressive strength is most obvious in the age of 0–7 day. After that, it tends to be stable with the growth of age. The deformation modulus of contaminated soil before and after curing was reduced to different degrees. Before and after curing, the resistivity of contaminated soil decreased with the increase of ion concentration, and the resistivity of cured soil increased with the increase of curing agent incorporation rate under the same contamination concentration. The research results can enrich the soil treatment problem of heavy metal contaminated sites and provide theoretical support for the application of this type of curing agent in the field engineering of Zn<sup>2+</sup> contaminated red clay soil.
