PCA Soil Cement Inspector's Manual
There used to be a difference between the term "Soil-Cement" and "Cement Treated Base (CTB)"; however, in recent times these two terms have become to be used synonymously. You might search for CTB info rather than soil cement info. The PCA has a guide for CTB but it costs $25 US.

you should be testing and specifying:
a) compressive strength
b) cement content
c) fly ash content
d) moisture / density relationship
e) durability tests
f) erodibility tests
in addition to the mix design, you should be constructing a test fill to establish the rolling pattern and suitable equipment and methods for compaction.

here is the spec for the last project I worked on which was a levee. This material was sand and gravel with very few fines:
Maybe you are thinking of a cement modified soil (CMS) which uses much less cement and resulting material is much different. I have not heard of this being used in a dam or levee though, typically specified for roadways.
