I suspect that a soil from a project has been soil cemented during pad construction. Is there any way to determine the presence of cement in soils?

If the pH by indicator solution is greater than about 9.0, you can pretty much conclude that cement is present.

Even a quick check with hydrochloric acid would reveal the presence of calcareous materials (calcium compounds as found in cement)
There are no ASTM standards for such, that I know of.
