Based on full-scale extensive instrumented deep mixing tests conducted in Texas A&M University, Briaud et al. (2000) recommended that the elastic modulus of soil-cement mixture can be estimated by (2) E soil–cement = 12900 q u 0.41 where E soil-cement is the elastic modulus of soil-cement mixture (kPa).

The water to cement ratio, W/C, of 1.0 is recommended for the wet mixing method of the soft Bangkok clay. A fast installation rate was shown to provide high quality for low strength columns.

property [9,11,12] that balances the shrinkage of Portland cement and hydrated lime at the setting stage. By mixing these three binders, setting-related volume changes can be controlled. The cement used alone is not capable of ensuring proper moisture and frost resistance. Cement binder parameters are commonly improved with a range of mineral

Also, in a leakage test conducted by Portland Cement Association on cement mortar disks of 25 mm thickness subjected to water pressure of 140 kN/m 2; the disks made with water/cement ratio of 0.5 or less showed no sign of leakage after being moist cured for seven days. However, the disks made with water/cement ratio of 0.8 showed leakage after

Volume" Method -- This method is the preferred method, as it is a somewhat more exact procedure The volume of fine aggregates is found by subtracting the volume of cement, water, air, and coarse aggregate from the total concrete volume.

Soil-Cement Mixtures J. A. LEADABRAND, Manager and L. T. NORLING, Laboratory Chief, Soil-Cement Bureau, Portland Cement Association Ten years ago, standard laboratory testing procedures for soil-cement mix­ tures were adopted by both ASTM and AASHO, incorporating the best infor­ mation and experience available.

An easy way to make a garden path or informal walkway is to simply dump dry concrete on the ground and water it with a water hose. There are a few tricks to making it look good, but it really is a pretty easy way to make a path through the backyard. Wear old clothes because concrete work is pretty messy.

Our photo at left shows a pre-1900 brick wall lining used as insulation and as a wind or draft block. Brick nogging can determine the probable age for the home. Houses built between 1810 and 1900, or perhaps earlier may have brick-lined walls. I have found brick nogging in the walls of a 1790 Poughkeepsie NY home.
