Abstract
Soil-cement has been broadly used for eco friendly pavement, slope protection and soft soil improvement since it used for the increase of soil strength with cement. Recently, additional agents are mixed with existing soil-cement so as to improve specific properties or functions such as strength, color and permeability of it. This study aims at figuring out the physical and mechanical properties of a soil-cement mixed with crashed oyster shell and loess. The study is specially focused on the applicability of oyster shell as an alternative material for sands. To have his objective achieved a series of uniaxial compression tests were conducted. As a result, it appears that usage of oyster shell may have effect on strength improvement of mixed soils.
