REMOVAL OF CEMENTATION BONDS IN STRESSED OVERCONSOLIDATED CLAYS

A comprehensive laboratory investigation was conducted to examine the compressive response of stiff cemented clays subjected to cement removal under stress. Results indicate that removal of cementation bonds in a stressed, stiff, cemented clay can cause a increase in soil volume, with the void ration increasing to the level of equilibrium for the uncemented state governed by the condition of the soil free of cementation bonds. (The authors attribute this increase to the latent physico-chemical behavior of the soil caused by restraint in the normal consolidation process.)
