Relationship between axial strain and volumetric strain of Light-Weighted Foam Soil (LWFS) are investigated. LWFS is composed of the dredged soil from offshore, cement and foam to reduce the unit weight and also increase compressive strength. For this purpose. the triaxial compression tests are carried out on the prepared specimens of LWFS with various conditions such as initial water contents, cement contents, and curing stresses, The test results of LWFS Indicated that the axial strain - volumetric strain relationship is almost linearity with increase cement contents and the unit weight but the relationship is non-linearity with decrease cement contents and the unit weight. In this study, it is found that assuming no change of cross section area of LWFS, axial strain occurring the poisson's ratio of zero, that the axial strain same to volumetric strain, steeply increases with decrease the unit weight, initial water content, and cement contents.

In recent years, Nano-technology significantly invaded the field of Geotechnical engineering, particularly in soil stabilisation techniques. Stabilisation of weak soil is envisioned to modify various soil characteristics by the addition of natural or synthetic materials into the virgin soil. In the present study, laboratory experiments were executed to investigate the influence of nano-silica particles in the consistency limits, compressive strength of the soft clay blended with cement. The results revealed that the high compressibility behaviour of soft clay modified to medium-stiff condition with fewer dosages of cement and nano-silica. The mechanism behind the strength development is verified with the previous researches as well as from Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction test (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. Based on the results, the presence of nano-silica in soft clay blended with cement has a positive effect on the behaviour of soil. This technique proves to be very economical and less detrimental to the environment.

Soil-cement mixtures involve problems in it's durability in grain size distribution and mineral composition of the used soils as well as in cement content, compaction energy, molding water content, and curing. As an attempt to solve the problems associated with durability of weathered granite soil with cement treated was investigated by conducting tests such as unconfined compression test, it's moisture, immers, wet-dry and freeze-thaw curing, mesurement of loss of weight with wet-dry and freeze-thaw by KS F criteria and CBR test with moisture curing on the five soil samples different in weathering and mineral composition. The experimental results are summarized as follows; The unconfined compressive strength was higher in moisture curing rather than in the immers and wet-dry, while it was lowest in freeze-thaw. Decreasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength in soil-cement mixtures were lowest in optimum moisture content or in the dry side rather than optimum moisture content with freeze-thaw. The highly significant ceofficient was obtained between the cement content and loss of weight with freeze-thaw and wet-dry. It was possible to obtain the durability of soil-cement mixtures, as the materials of base for roads, containing above 4 % of cement content, above 3Okg/cm$_2$ of unconfined compressive trength with seven days moisture curing or 12 cycle of freeze-thaw after it, above 100% of relative unconfined compressive strength, 80% of index of resistance, below 14% of loss of weight with 12 cycle of wet-dry and above 1. 80g/cm$_2$ of dry density.

고함수비 상태의 흙에 시멘트를 첨가하게 되면 흙의 공학적 성질을 개량할 수 있다. 이렇게 고함수비 흙에 시멘트를 혼합하는 경우 흙시멘트 혼합물의 워커빌러티와 밀접한 관련이 있는 상 변화를 예측하고 구분하는 것은 매우 힘들다. 시간에 따른 시멘트 paste의 수화열 변화와 경도의 변화는 흙시멘트 혼합물의 상 변화에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공해준다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트 paste와 흙/시멘트 비를 달리 한 3 종류의 혼합물에 대해 수화열과 콘 관입량을 측정하여 흙시멘트 혼합물의 상 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 흙시멘트 혼합물의 상 변화는 시멘트 paste와 동일한 형태를 보이며 수화열이 최소가 되는 시점에서 혼합물의 전단강도가 급격하게 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 흙시멘트 혼합물의 초결시점은 fall cone 관입량이 1.0mm, 즉 혼합물이 소성상태에 도달하는 시점과 일치하며 흙/시멘트 비가 증가할수록 초결시간은 지연되었다. 흙시멘트 혼합물에 대한 수화열 측정과 fall cone 관입량 측정은 흙-시멘트 혼합물의 상 변화를 예측하는 유용한 수단으로 사용할 수 있다.

İzmir Bay reserves high amount of residual alluvial deposits generated by Meles River at its stream mouth. These carried sediments with high water content and low bearing capacity are unsuitable in terms of engineering purposes. In-situ soil stabilization with deep soil mixing method is considered to improve properties of soil in this location. This method is widely used especially over Scandinavia, Japan and North America. Basically, the method covers mixing appropriate binder into the soil to improve soil profile according to the engineering needs. For this purpose, soil samples were initially provided from the site, classification tests were performed and optimum ratios of lime and cement binders were determined. Following, specimens representing the in-situ soil conditions were prepared and cured to be able to determine their engineering properties. Unconfined compression tests and vane shear tests were applied to evaluate the stabilization performance of binders on samples with different curing periods. Scanning electron microscope was used to observe time-dependent bonding progress of binders in order to validate the results. Utilization of 4% lime and 4% cement mixture for the long-term performance and 8% lime and 8% cement mixture for short term performance were suggested for the stabilization of Meles Delta soils. Development of CSH and CAH in a gel form as well as CSH crystals were clearly observed on SEM images of treated specimens.

This study was conducted to investigate the strength of soil cements for varied molding water content and cement content(3,6,9,12%) in four cementstabilized soils(KY: sand, MH: sad, SS: sandy loam, JJ: loam). The eoperimental results obtainedfrom unconfined compressive strength tests are asfollows: 1. The optimum moisture content increased in accordance with the increase of the cement while maximum dry density didn't change uniformly. 2. The moisture content for maximum strength was higher than the optimum moisture content in the higher cement content. Moisture-density curves showed a dull peak in the higher cement contents, on the other hand, a sharp peak in the lower cement contents. 3. In molding the specimen with the approximate optimum moisture content, the maximum strength showed at the wet side of the optimum moisture content. 4. SS and JJ maybe used as cement-stabilized base of road to require 300PSI of compressive strength cured seven days, but MH and KY may be not adequate. 5. In soil cement, the better the grain size distribution was, the stronger the compressive strength was itn general. 6. The relation between 28-day strengh and 7-day strength in the cementstabilized four soils may be expressed as follows: q28=1.55q7+1.5 in which q28:28-day strength. q7:7-day strength.

Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate the influence of pore water contamination on the treatment effect of sandy soil which was solidified by Portland cement. In the experiments, setting time of hydraulic cement that was mixed with contaminated mixing water was measured using Vicat equipment and observed the tendency of setting process with the kind of contaminants, organic or inorganic components. It was shown that organic contaminants of the mixing water affect largely on the initial setting process of hydraulic cement and inorganics, expecially heavy metals, did not affect on the initial setting process, otherwise it was appeared that setting time of the sandy soil that was contaminated with inorganic components was apparently faster than the sandy soil that did not include inorganic components even though organic concentrations was relatively low level (COD=200∼300) in the mixing water. The results of unconfined compression strength test (UCST) were well consistent with the results of Vicat equipment test.

The development of a new type of soil-cement concrete pavement using volcaniclastic is the main purpose of this study. Various mixture ratios, specimens' penetration resistance, time of setting, slump flow of fleshly mixed concrete, compressive strength and color characteristics of hardened concrete were studied. It was concluded that the optimum weight ratio of cement:volcaniclastic to produce good properties of soil-cement concrete is 1:3 and the use of volcaniclastic as main aggregate can improve the concrete surface color that is warm earth-tone road color. Therefore, commercial development for soil-cement concrete pavement using volcaniclastic is highly promising.

The application of the reinforced retaining wall has increased in the last 10 years in Korea. The height of reinforced wall is generally limited to less than 15m. It has been reported that the reinforced wall higher than 10m should have higher strength reinforcement or should reduce the lateral earth pressure of the reinforced wall to secure the stability of the wall. In this study, the reinforced retaining wall was constructed 14m high, backfilled by a mixture of soil and cement and instrumented on the reinforcement elements. The instrumented reinforced wall was monitored during and after construction. Field monitoring result shows that a backfill by a mixture of soil and cement reduced the tensile stress developed on the reinforcing elements and the reinforced wall backfilled by a mixture of soil and cement performed successful.
