This paper describes the effect of factors on the strength characteristics of cement treated clay from laboratory tests performed on cement mixed clay specimens. It is considered that several factors such as soil type, sample preparing method, quantity of binder, curing time, etc. can have an effect on strength characteristics of cement stabilized clay. A series of unconfined compression tests have been performed on samples prepared with different conditions. The results indicated that soil type, mixing method, curing time, dry weight ratio of cement to clay (Aw), and water‐clay to cement (wc/c) ratio were main factors which can have an influence on unconfined compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and failure strain of cement stabilized clay. Unconfined compressive strength of soil‐cement samples prepared from dry mixing method was higher than those prepared from wet mixing method.

The soil-cement columns are generally installed and cured in the soft clay layers under confining pressure. The strength of the soil-cement columns may be influenced by confining pressure during curing period. In this study, the main objective was to study the influence of curing pressure on unconfined compressive strength of cemented clay. A series of unconfined compression tests was performed on a cement admixed clay sample cured under pressure values of 0 kPa (atmospheric pressure), 25kPa, 50kPa and 100 kPa using a typical unconfined compression equipment. The test samples with values of cement content of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 percent were cured for 28 days.The stress-strain curves obtained from all tests show a peak value of stress. The unconfined compressive strength or peak stress obviously increased with increasing cement content for all curing pressure conditions. It can be observed that the strength of samples gradually increased with curing pressure for cement content of 0.5 percent. For cement contents of 1.0 and 2.0 percent, the strengths of samples cured under pressures of 25 kPa dramatically increased from the strength of samples cured without pressure (0 kPa), however, the strengths of samples for curing pressures of 25, 50 and 100 kPa were not clearly different.

This paper studies relationship between soil-cement parameters and unconfined compressive strength. The research in tensile strength and deformation modulus of soil-cement is an important basis for soil-cement failure mechanism and intensity theory. They also impact cracks, deformation and durability of cement-soil structure. Shear strength and deformation of soil-cement is important to the destruction analysis and finite element calculations. Therefore it needs to study on tensile strength, shear strength and deformation modulus of soil-cement. Based on previous experiments, the relationship of tensile strength, shear strength, deformation modulus and unconfined compressive strength of soil-cement are quantitatively studied.

This research investigated the compressive strength of cemented soils admixed with saturated granular activated carbon (GAC). The saturated GAC was obtained from the water filtration system. A series of unconfined compressive strength was performed on both compacted soil-cement specimens and compacted soil-GAC-cement specimens with GAC content of 30 percent. All specimens were prepared by compaction with energy equivalent to the modified Proctor test. The results from modified Proctor tests showed that the maximum dry unit weight and the optimum moisture content of soil-GAC sample was less than those of soil sample. From the unconfined compression tests, there was tiny development of strength for both types of specimens with cement content of 1 percent throughout the curing period of 28 days. For both types of specimens with cement content of 2 and 3 percent, the significant development of strength occurred after curing for 3 days. The strength of specimens typically increased with increasing cement content. Generally, the strength of compacted soil-GAC-cement specimens was less than that of compacted soil- cement specimens. It was also observed that the relationships between normalized compressive strength ratio and curing period was unique for the specimens with the same cement content.
