| Abstract: | Laboratory experimental research is performed by strengthing three different types of soil with low proportional cement to test the unconfined compressive strength of such cemented soil under different dosages of Ca(OH)2 and the different ages. The variation rules and causes of the unconfined compressive strength of these three types of age-different cemented soil with increasing the dosage of Ca(OH)2 are analyzed. The results shows that the intensity of red clay cement improves most obviously with Ca(OH)2 content increased, followed by silty clay, and sand is the weakest. The reason is that the fineness of the soil affect the strength of the cement greatly. The finer the soil, the more clay minerals in soil. The increase in Ca(OH)2 content promotes the ion exchange and the occurrence of volcanic ash, which improves the strength of cemented soil. Among the three types of soil in this experiment, the fineness of red clay particles is the best, so the intensity of red clay cement improves most obviously with Ca(OH)2 content increased. |
