Soil cement is a building material, a mixture of natural soil sprayed with a small amount of portland cement and water, usually processed into a cane, compacted at high density. The durable and semi-rigid material is formed by hydration of the cement particles. Soil cement is often used as building material for the bed of pipes, slope protection and road construction as a subbase layer that reinforces and protects the subgrade. It has good resistance to compression and shear, but is brittle and has low tensile strength, so it is prone to cracking.
Soil cement mixtures differ from Portland cement concrete in the amount of paste (cement-water mixture). While in Portland cement concretes the paste covers all aggregate particles and binds them together, the amount of cement in the floor cements is smaller and therefore they remain hollow and the result is a cement matrix with non-material nodules Cemented. - The advertisement can be almost any combination of sand, slime, clay, gravel, or crushed stone. Local granular materials such as slag, caliche, limerock and slag, as well as a wide variety of waste materials including ash, fly ash, smelting sands and stone and gravel projections, can be used as soil material. The old granular base roads, with or without bituminous surfaces, can also be recovered to make a great soil-cement.
Soil-cement is a very compact mix of soil / aggregate, cement and water. It is widely used as a low-cost pavement base for roads, residential streets, parking areas, airports, shoulders, and material handling and storage areas. Its advantages of high strength and durability combine with a low initial cost to make it the exceptional value in its field. A thin bituminous surface is usually placed on the floor-cement to complete the pavement. Soil-cement is sometimes called a stabilized cement base, or cemented aggregate base. Regardless of the name, the principles governing its composition and construction are the same.
