Soil/cement as a walling material—I. Stress/strain properties

The properties of soil/cement vary not only with changes in soil type and cement content but also with the compaction pressure. While the effect of compaction pressure is widely recognized as affecting the properties of the material, rarely has it formed part of a comprehensive investigation. Previous published work has also concentrated almost exclusively on ultimate strength. This investigation was designed as a full factorial experiment using soil type, cement content and compaction pressure as the main factors with not only ultimate strength but also measures of strain and modulus as criterion variables.
