Fundamental Characteristics of Cement-Admixed Clay in Deep Mixing

Abstract

This paper examines the compressibility and strength characteristics of high water content cement-admixed clay in deep mixing applications. During curing time, both cement content and total clay water content of the clay–water–cement mixture significantly affect the strength and compressibility of the resulting stabilized clay. To ensure optimum improvement, the selection of an appropriate total clay water content for a mixture with a certain cement content is crucial. Furthermore, the fundamental parameters such as the ratio of after-curing void ratio
