Abstract:

The effect of curing time, and compaction cementitiously stabilized materials (CSM) was studied using ultrasonic P-wave propagation. In general, the P-wave velocity measurements the mixtures increased with curing time. The trend between unconfined compression strength (UCS) with dry density or compaction water content was the same as the trend with P-wave velocity measurements. For stabilized fine-grained soils, there was a peak in P-wave velocity coinciding with the maximum dry density. The P-wave velocity and constrained modulus were strongly correlated to the UCS for CSMs. A model for prediction of UCS was proposed and verified. These test results provides insights for use of ultrasonic pulse velocity testing method for the determination of mechanical properties of CSM.
