Strength Development of Soft Bangkok Clay Mixed with Cement

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the experimental study on the strength development of soft Bangkok clay mixed with the Portland cement type 1. The soft Bangkok clay samples were mixed with 20% by weigh of Portland cement type 1 and cured for 3, 7, 14 and 28 days. Then, these samples were performed the bender element and the unconfined compression tests. The research found the relationship between Vs, G0, Su and time with the maximum values of Vs of 378.79 m/s, G0 of 224.72 MPa and Su of 403.23 kPa respectively. Moreover, the research found that Vs and G0 were directly proportional to Su.
