SOME STUDIES ON THE CRACKING OF SOIL-CEMENT IN JAPAN

This paper mainly treats of the phenomenon of cracking in soil-cement under repeated loads, compared with the case of static loads, and the usefulness of the immediate opening of a soil-cement base to general traffic is emphasized from the good results of an in situ experiment. Concerning the cracking of soil-cement due to climatic action, the merits of a sandwich structure are pointed out. A method to reduce the shrinkage caused by the hydration of portland cement is reported based on an experiment using specimens in which ferrous oxide powder and calcium chloride are added to the soil-cement mixture.
