“…Numerous hard ll dams were constructed in the world by using the cemented sand-gravel mixtures (Yokotsuka 2000;Batmaz 2003; GUILLEMOT and LINO 2012). The cemented material dam (CMD) is the latest solution for the hard ll dams, where the cement is blended with low quality soil aggregates to produce the cemented material (Jia et al 2020).…”

This paper aims to achieve a specific type of cemented sand-gravel mixtures with low permeability to implement in the impervious zone of hardfill dams. To this end, various mixtures are prepared by blending two native soils of sand and gravel with different amounts of kaolinite or bentonite additives in presence of various cement content. The compaction properties, uniaxial compressive strength, permeability and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of mixtures are measured. According to the results, the cemented mixture containing 10% of kaolinite additive regardless of native soil type exhibits the maximum strength. However, the bentonite disturbs the cement hydration in the mixture, and the strength of mixtures especially with high cement content decreases with increasing the bentonite content. The permeability of mixtures is related to the amount of cement and fine additive in the mixture. The permeability of both cemented sand and gravel mixtures decreases with increasing the bentonite additive. However, the kaolinite additive has a limited influence on the permeability of cemented gravel mixtures. The lowest permeability is achieved in the mixture involving the higher amount of bentonite (with a weight ratio of 30%) in presence of adequate cement.
