To investigate the relationship between compressive strength ($q_u$) of Lightweight Air-mixed soil (LAS) and its physical deformation coefficient ($E_{50}$), a series of unconfined compressive tests have been performed on specimens of LAS according to various dredged soil types by percentage of sand, silt and clay. From the results it was found that the cement content ($C_i$) and unit weight (${\gamma}_m$) are most influence factors on strength, and percentage of sand, silt, clay by grain size analysis (KS F2302) have more effect on compressive strength than other physical properties of soil. It was also found that the rate of strength (a) increases with curing time, but it reduces with the increase of percentage of clay ($C_%$).
