Stabilized Cement Soil Mixture Design
Stabilized Cement Soil Mixture Design
(OP)
Hello Group,
So currently I am looking at utilizing cement stabilized soil at one of my worksites for erosion control and subbase strengthing. Having looked into my state's highway design manual and a the "greenbook" I have not found anything discussing how to determine how much cement is needed to strengthen the soil to the levels I want. From what I have read typically the amount of cement that is added is anywhere from 5 to 15%. If anyone could point out a refence that shows how to make a mix design based on varying types of soils or simply tell me its based on setting up different mixtures and see how they do in a soils test please let me know.
Thanks,
Riveridean.

Check the PCA Soil Cement Handbook...it covers all these issues.

Strength is more related to particle agglomeration than particle coating.
