Soil-cement involves the mixing of pulverized soil with cement and hydrating the mix with water to obtain a solid strong mass that can bear heavier loads when compacted and hardened than ordinary soil. Soil-cement are often categorized into four, depending on the purpose of stabilization, amount of cement used, mixing condition and platform etc.

AbstractThe compression behavior of an artificially cemented soil was analyzed by the adjusted porosity/cement index using a correlation established in the recent literature. It was found that for each value of this index, defined as the ratio of porosity to the volumetric cement content, there was a unique normal compression line (NCL). The NCLs of the cemented …
