The purpose of this
thesis is to investigate the effect of soil types, gradation and cement
content etc. on the structural properties of soil-cement mixtures and to
expect to obtain important conclusions for soil-cement application not
only to the attached construction of on-going project of [ Hu-san Dam
construction] but to other future soil-cement application where
soil-cement, as an alternative to rock riprap for slope protection, is
not locally available.The properties of soil-cement are influenced by
several factors, including (a) type and proportion of soil, cementitious
materials, and water content, (b) compaction,(c) uniformity of
mixing,(d)curing conditions and (e)age of the compacted mixture. The
further continuing investigation in this thesis are mainly based on the
test data presented in “ Research on the properties and the feasibility
of soil-cement for Hu-san Dam construction”. Eight research soils of
different gradation were included and are all non-plastic soils. The
research soils are classified to be 2 types according to the particle
size distribution where Type 1 soils had the finer gradation and Type 2
soils had the coarser gradation.Cement additions ranged from 5% to 13%
by weight of soil. The particle size distribution, gradation and
physical properties of different soils are presented. The investigation
results are verified in comparison with cited references. Based on
the experimental results, the findings are presented as follows: (1)The
effect of soil type and gradation on the relationship between cement
content and maximum dry density and on the relationship between cement
content and optimum moisture content had remarkable difference. The
maximum dry density increased with an increase in cement content for
lower contents of fine-grained soils. However, no significant variation
was noticed for higher contents of fine-grained soils. (2) For a given
cement content, the average grain size (D50)and uniformity
coefficienteffect of soil gradation(Cu)had the relationship of direct
proportion with maximum dry density of soil-cement mixtures. However,
D50 and Cu had the relationship of inverse proportion with optimum
moisture content. (3) The compressive strength of all soil-cement
mixtures increased with an increase in cement content and with an
increase in moist curing period. The compressive strength of all
soil-cement mixtures increased with an increase in maximum dry density ,
the average grain size(D50)and uniformity coefficienteffect(Cu).
Based on USSR criteria and in the analysis of the experimental results,
a minimum of 11% of cement contents for soil 3RS1, MIX1and MIX2. are
suitable for soil-cement application on the project of [Hu-san Dam
construction] in the near future. But in view of cost-saving, soil 3RS1
with a minimum of 11% of cement contents are recommended. In addition,
the coarser grain soils are more applicable than finer grain soils to
soil-cement construction. “Grain size distribution of the different
soils suitable for soil-cement applications presented in this thesis are
recommended to refer to. |
