...Haseeb Malik; Benyi Cao This research investigates the mechanical properties of subgrade clay enhanced by a low carbon cement: MgO-metakaolin binder, focusing on its efficacy in weak subgrade stabilisation under cyclic loading conditions. Soil samples were prepared and subjected to repeat load...

...Abouzar Esfandyaripour; Seyed Hamid Lajevardi; Hossein MolaAbasi Incorporating zeolite for the enhanced treatment of the cement-treated sands, apart from environmental benefits and saving cost and time, results in the improvement of pozzolanic reactions and hence, the failure mechanisms over time...

...Kazuyoshi Hashimoto, ME; Satoshi Nishihara, BAgr; Shusuke Oji, PhD; Tomohiro Kanazawa, PhD; Shunsaku Nishie, PhD; Ichiro Seko, PhD; Taichi Hyodo, PhD; Yoshimichi Tsukamoto, PhD Field tests are conducted on permeation grouting of ultra-microfine cement to examine whether zones of improved soil...

...M. Boutouil; D. Levacher When solidifying/stabilising high water content materials, the water/cement (w/c) ratios are higher than those usually found in concrete engineering. However, an important question about the availability of the total measured water content can be asked. In this paper...

...C. Brandstätter; R. Lackner; H. A. Mang In this paper, a new approach for the determination of properties of soil improved by means of jet grouting is proposed. It is characterised by the combination of in situ temperature measurements and a material model for early-age cement-based materials...

.... The procedure used to perform a test is described in detail, and the result of a typical test carried out on a medium-size silica sand with a cement-bentonite grout is presented, showing the importance of the filtration mechanism with progressive plugging of the sand matrix for the injection process...

... non-swelling soil as a cushion have shown that it is ineffective over cycles of swelling and shrinkage of soil. The present paper explores the possibility of using rice husk ash (RHA) as a cushion. It was found that RHA stabilised with 3–9% of lime (LSR) or 10% of cement (CSR) and cured for about...

.... This paper concerns experiments and discussion results on the effect of various factors (cement content, type of cement, curing conditions and additive content) on the macroscopic behaviour, specifically the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) before and after immersion in water, of a solidified harbour...

...M. Boutouil; D. Levacher Investigations into the cement-based solidification of dredged sludge have been undertaken using a statistical analysis based on a fractional factorial experimental design. In Part I, the effects of cement content, type of cement, curing conditions and additives (lime, road...

... of mixing quality are difficult and very expensive. This paper discusses the concept of mixing quality with respect to the binder distribution, and the use of mixing indices, as a quantitative assessment. The possibility of using mixing indices with the lime–cement column method is taken up. Statistical...
