Abstract |
|
In the present study an attempt has been made to compare the compaction characteristics of designed poorly graded sand using two different grades of ordinary Portland cement. Cement has been used as a binding agent and was mixed with sand in varying percentages ranging from 4% to 12%. Standard proctor tests were carried out on these sand-cement mix so as to find the optimum proportion of cement to be added to sand to achieve maximum dry density. Results indicate that the optimum sand-cement mix on basis of maximum dry density was achieved at 92:8 proportion using OPC 53 grade cement and at 90:10 proportion using OPC 43 grade cement. |
