Cement stabilization of sands and effect of fines content

The basic aim of this project was to carry out various tests on a cement stabilized sand. This was done to determine a suitable cement content which would provide the needed strength and durability required of it as a subbase material in the heavily loaded terminal pavements of port of Brisbane at fisherman islands. Particular importance was made to investigate economies which may be made in the choosing of the cement content for stabilisation of the sands with relation to the presence of natural or artificially added fine material less than 0.075 Milli meters in size. Criteria considered in the material evaluation was the effect of fines content in the sand on the unconfined compressive strength, tensile strength, modulus of rupture and durability of the cement stabilized sand. The implications and results of the astm durability tests, are discussed to see if they are relevant to the design of cement contents for soil cement mixes in their present form. A blended type fa cement consisting of 75 per cent portland cement and 25 per cent pulverized flyash, was used for the cement stabilizing of the pavements for terminal one and two during 1979 and 1980. Its effect on the durability test is discussed in relation to use of normal type a portland cement.
