Soft clays are defined as cohesive soil whose water content is higher than its liquid limits. Thus, soil-cement mixing is adopted to improve the ground conditions by enhancing the strength and deformation characteristics of the soft clays. For the above mentioned reasons, a series of laboratory tests were carried out to study some fundamental mechanical properties of cement stabilized soft clay...

the effects of cementation and the physical properties of grains on the shear behavior of grouted sands are investigated in this paper. the consolidated-undrained triaxial shear behavior of three grouted carbonate sands with different physical properties, including particle size distribution, particle shape and void ratio, was studied. two sands were obtained from the north shores of the persia...

This study focuses on investigation of the undrained shear strength unsaturated frozen silts prepared at varying initial thermal and hydraulic conditions. The degree saturation controls ice unfrozen water contents temperatures below depression point. properties soils are highly influenced by which is coupled with state soils. To evaluate silts, a series direct simple experiments were performed ...

The mechanical properties of dewatered, anaerobically digested sewage sludge were determined from soil laboratory tests. The sludge material is largely composed of organic clay sized-particles, a sizable fraction of which is in an active state of biological digestion which can continue over many years under field conditions. Moderately digested sludge material was found to have a typical specif...
