Strength Characteristics of Cement-Stabilized Soil

Improvement of the properties of cement-stabilized soil is attributed to the soil cement reaction,which produces cementitious materials in the soil-cement matrix.The soil-cement reaction provides a clear basis to explain the improvement in strength of stabilized soil.The strength of stabilized soil depends on the cement content.The strength development of stabilized soil is solely dependent on the water-to-cement ratio,and the water-to-cement ratio is taken as an effective parameters to express strength.There are predictable correlations between the water-to-cement ratio and unconfined compressive strength and preconsolidated pressure of cement-stabilized soil.
