Abstract:Experimental investigations were carried out in this work to evaluate the impact of stabilisation on the mechanical and hygric properties of a reference soil-cement couple. Unstabilized and stabilized soils with two amounts of cement were examined. Compacted earth samples were prepared at their optimum water content and dry density. The effectiveness of stabilisation were verified by simple compressive strength tests conducted on cylindrical samples at different ages of curing. In a second step, the water vapo… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
