FIELD TEST TO CONFIRM APLLICABILITY OF CEMENT-STABILIZED POND-MUD SOIL AS FILL MATERIAL TO REPAIR OR REINFORCE IRRIGATION DAM EMBANKMENT

Abstract

Mud soil sedimented in a irrigation pond generally is high-water-content and very soft clayey soil. Recently, it is necessary to develop the method for utilization of such a soil, as there is little space to dispose of it as industrial waste.
In this paper, it represents the results of the field test carried out to confirm the applicability of cement-stabilized mud soil as the fill material to construct the counter-weight embankment or widening of embankment in the repair or the reinforcement of the irrigation dam. The effect of crushed diameter of initial stabilized mud soil on strength characteristics and permeability of the crushed and compacted stabilized mud soil was investigated specially in this test program.
