Abstract
The strength of cement-stabilized soils depends on many influencing factors and in particular, the mechanical properties change for curing time due to a chemical reaction of cement. It is therefore important to investigate those influences on the deformation-strength properties efficiently. The Falling Weight Deformation Measurement apparatus was developed for measuring deformation modulus of cement-stabilized soils as a nondestructive testing. In this study, this apparatus is applied to soft clay samples with different water content, cement content and curing period. The deformation modules of the cement-stabilized soils at various mixing condition is predicted from the change in the deformation modules for early curing time.
