Cement Stabilization of Soil

by Ash Leave a Comment

Soil Cement Stabilization

Cement stabilization of soil is done by mixing pulverized soil and Portland cement with water and compacting the mix to attain a strong material. The material obtained by mixing soil and cement is known as soil-cement. The soil cement becomes a hard and durable structural material as the cement hydrates and develops strength. Cement stabilization is […]
