Fundamental Parameters of Cement-Admixed Clay—New Approach
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
Volume 130, Issue 10
Abstract
The fundamental parameters such as after-curing void ratio and cement content have been found sufficient to characterize the strength and compressibility of cement-admixed clay at high water contents. From analyses performed on the results of unconfined compression tests, the ratio has been proven to combine together the influences of clay water content, cement content, and curing time on the strength of cement-admixed clay. Moreover, the results of oedometer consolidation tests revealed that while governs the position of the postyield compression line, the magnitude of determines the magnitude of the one-dimensional vertical yield stress at particular . The value of reflects, primarily, the clay water content and, secondarily, the cement content and the curing time. Normalizing the after-curing unit weight, after-curing water content, and after-curing specific gravity were incorporated in an empirical relationship of .
