TENTATIVE METHODS FOR DETERMINING DESIGN STRENGTH, SOIL-STABILIZER MIX DESIGN AND QUALITY CONTROL OF CEMENTED-STABILIZED MUD EMBANKMENT SOIL

Abstract

Mud soil sedimented in a irrigation reservoir generally is high-water-content and very soft clayey soil. Recently, it is necessary to develop the method to make use of such a problematic soil, because there is little space to dispose of it as industrial waste. Therefore, we have developed the embankment method by the cement-stabilized mud soil that can be used to construct a embankment.
In this paper, it represents the results investigated the effects of the physical properties of mud soil on the strength characteristics of the cement-stabilized mud embankment soil by laboratory tests. Based on this results, it is recommended the determined method of design strength and the soil-stabilizer mix design method of the cement-stabilized mud soil, and the quality control method in embankment construction processes.
