Abstract
This experimental study has been carried out in order to investigate the durability of artificial soft rock which were made by clay pulverized natural mud-rock, natural sand, water and new blended blast-furnace slag cement mixtures.
In the experiment, the artificial soft rock specimens were exposed in some curing conditions such as in curing rooms at 5-40°C in order to eliminate the temperature effect, in some water conditions and in some weathering conditions in order to eliminate the resistance against the actions of various ground water and weathering for about 10 years. These studies proved that the artificial soft rock have high resistance against the actions of various ground water and weathering.
The long-term durability of them were also verified by the results of the follow-up investigations, after exposuring in field for 10 years.
