Abstract

A laboratory testing programme of granular materials stabilized with cement has been implemented in order to determine the influence of changes in mix composition on their mechanical characteristics. The elements of the composition of stabilized mixes such as gradation, cement content, cement type, density and curing time were varied. The results obtained were analysed statistically and three types of correlation were determined. It is concluded that the relationship between the dynamic modulus of elasticity and the pulse velocity is almost unaffected by individual composition parameters, while the relationship between compressive and tensile strength, and especially that of compressive strength and dynamic modulus of elasticity, is dependent on these parameters.
