STATISTICAL RELATIONS BETWEEN COMPRESSIVE AND TENSILE STRENGTHS OF SOIL- CEMENT

Statistical inter- relations between indirect tensile, flexural and unconfined compressive strengths of soil- cement are presented. Based on good correlations found between these strength properties, it is shown that there is little object in carrying out all the strength tests. Compressive strength is one of the most easily determined properties, being related, quantitatively, to indirect tensile and flexural strength. This allows engineers to continue the use of the simple compression test, but allows designers to specify indirect tensile or flexural strength values which are directly related to in situ performance. Statistical relations established by others are summarised and comparison made with authors' results. (Author/TRRL)
