Effect of Binder Composition and Hydration Reactions on the Setting Properties of Blast Furnace Slag Cement Paste

Early estimation soil‐cement for enlarged bases in bored precast piling method based on cement‐water ratio

“…Therefore, by standardization using W s it can be converted into the content of the cement in soil cement before drying. In addition, by dividing with W s , the C/W of soil cement can be obtained from Equation (4). By substituting the value of C/W obtained in (3) into the equation for the relationship between q u,28 and C/W given in Section 3, it is possible to assess if the C/W is adequate to satisfy the required strength of soil cement in the construction.…”

“…The correlation between the analysis values to the actual values of the mixtures shown in Table 4 of the quantities of water and cement is shown depicted in Figure 2. Note that normally, soil cement in an enlarged base is sampled within 3 hours after the milk is mixed; however, the amount of bound water caused by the hydration was considered to be 3.0 mass% or less as per the past investigations 4 and was hence ignored. In all the cases there was good agreement between the mix values and the analysis values.…”
