Effect of Gradation and Cement on the Properties of Soil-Cement Mixtures
Eight non-plastic soils with different gradation are used for this research to study the appropriate choice of soil-cement mixture for a earth and rock-fill dam construction project. The properties of soil-cement materials are influenced by several factors, including type and proportion of soil, cementitious materials, water content, compaction, uniformity of mixing, curing conditions, and age of the compacted mixture. Based on the experimental results, the maximum dry density will increase with an increase in cement content for soils with low fines content. However, no significant variation was noticed for soils with higher fines content. For given cement content, the maximum density of soil-cement mixture also has a positive correlation with the average grain size, D50, and uniformity coefficient of gradation, Cu. Based on USBR criteria and experimental results, a minimum of 11% of cement content are suitable for soil-cement application on the dam construction. Coarser grain soils are more applicable than finer grain soils to soil-cement construction.
