Abstract
To examine the effectiveness of a cement fixing agent method for preventing liquefaction of sand to silt deposits in relation to the characteristics of grain size of soil, liquefaction tests are performed on six cement treated soils consolidated for 1 day in a triaxial cell. Four sands and two silts are treated with ordinary portland cement (OPC) or UKC-H with cement content (C) of 2% and 5%, respectively.
It is shown that there exists a good correlation between the ratio of increase of liquefaction resistance RL for the treated soils and the effective grain size D10, and that the relation depends on content of cement. Furthermore, it is found that the relationships between the liquefaction resistance and the unconfined compressive strength for the treated soils have a linearity
