Abstract:An experimental program was conducted to investigate the effects of curing time and curing temperature on shear behavior of a sand-bentonite mixture. The specimens were cured at temperatures of 40°C, 60°C and 80°C for 1, 3 and 5 days under 100kPa, 500kPa and 1000kPa confinements. The results of consolidated undrained triaxial shear tests showed that an increase in temperature from 40°C to 80°C at 1, 3 and 5 days of curing increased the shear strength by 25%, 24% and 23%, respectively. Also, the increase in cur… Show more
