Prediction of Soil-Cement Mechanical Properties Using EC2 Approach

Article Preview

Abstract:

For a better design of Jet Grouting (JG) and Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) technologies, a set of laboratory formulations are usually prepared aiming to give a first idea of the mechanical behavior of the final mixture. However, these formulations can represent an important cost to the project. Therefore, aiming to reduce such cost, in the present work the analytical expressions proposed by Eurocode 2 for strength and stiffness prediction of concrete were adapted to soil-cement laboratory formulations for JG and CSM projects. It is shown that these expressions can be successful applied in mechanical properties prediction over time of soft soil stabilized with cement for a wide range of cement content, water cement ratios and soil types.
