Prediction Formula For Unconfined Compressive Strength of Cement Treated Soft Soil During Full Age

Abstract

Cement stabilization method is one of the ground improvement techniques and has been also used for the purpose of utilization of dredged clay or construction muck. The long-term strength of cement soil is influenced by many factors such as cement content, water content, curing age and soil properties. In this study, a new formula without fitting parameters, which was based on the functional relationship without fitting parameters between the unconfined compressive strength and the curing age which was proposed by Yang et al., was proposed for predicting the unconfined compressive strength of cement treated soil during full age, The results show that the formula can properly predict the strength growth of cement treated soil by comparing with the experimental data that was cited from the literatures.
