Optimal water/cement ratios and strength characteristics of some local clay soils stabilized with cement

Aderibigbe, D. A. / Akeju, T. A. I. / Orangun, C. O.

Abstract Two clay deposits from Lagos in Nigeria were used to develop cement-stabilized blocks. Crushing strengths were determined at the optimum water/cement ratios for different cement/clay-soil mixes which ranged from 5∶1 to 1∶15. The optimal cube crushing strength (Y2) decreased with increasing water/cement ratio (X) in a power relation as follows: Oregun Soil:Y2=16,329.29X−0.147. Alausa Soil:Y2=6,307.42X−0.580. Over 80% of the cube strength was developed by the fourteenth day (100% at 28 days). A comparison of the results with those of the British Statutory Minimum Compressive strength in bricks for various walls showed that the cement/clay soil mixes may be used for both load and non-load bearing walls of one or two storey houses.
