FACTORS AFFECTING THE UNCONFINED COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF SANDS STABILIZED BY CHEMICAL GROUT

Abstract

A new method of preparing cylindrial specimens for uniaxial compressive strength of sands stabilized were proposed. The method is easy to controll the density. Unconfined compression test and permiability test were performed on the specimens prepared by this method and the fundamental characteristics of the sands stabilized by chemical grout were studied. Then the effects of density on the strength were discussed and clear distinction between the effects of chemical grout and the density of sands were confirmed.
