This paper presents the effect of curing environment on unconfined compressive strength soil-cement samples and in finding optimum output mix ratio estimating silica fume admixture. work is based data from Cai Mep-Thi Vai inter-port road project results laboratory experiments. The show that specimens with highest were cured soil, lowered city water NaCl 2.5% then 5%. admixture equals to 1% (in ...

Superfine pigments that consist of natural and artificial pigments and are made of mineral soil with special characteristics are used in cementitious materials for various purposes. These pigments can decrease the amount of cement needed without loss of performance and strength and also change the monotonous and turbid colours of concrete into various attractive and light colours. In this study...

This paper provides physical and chemical performances of mass stabilised organic and inorganic contaminated site soils using a new group of MgO-bearing binders over 3 years and evaluated the time-dependent performance during the 3 years. This study took place at a contaminated site in Castleford, UK in 2011, where MgO, ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS) and Portland cement (PC) were mi...

In order to reveal the effect of curing agent ratio variable and age on zinc heavy metal contaminated soil solidified by cement-metakaolin-limestone (LC3) ternary mixture, artificial were used simulate solidification soil. Through a series laboratory tests, change rules unconfined compressive strength electrical conductivity after analyzed. It is found that with increase age, stronger is, lower...

The utilisation of industrial bi-products such as cement kiln dust (CKD) is of increasing importance as an option for stabilising contaminated sites due to its pozzolanic nature and also in view of minimising the environmental impact. The experimental programme was carried out in the present study to evaluate the efficacy of CKD as stabilising agent at different percentages 2%, 6%, and 14% (w/w...

This paper sought to explore the possibility of getting good pavement material from marine clay stabilized with cement and lime. Various tests analyses were carried out examine effects lime on soil. These repeated at intervals. Firstly, by carrying natural disturbed soil, then intervals, addition admixture (cement lime) 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5%, 4.0%. With an increase admixtures; plasticity...
