Abstract
Rising population resonances have an influence on the availability of suitable building sites. Ground improvement techniques are required to repair poor building site locations by enhancing soil shear characteristics.The shear characteristics of established soils can be influenced by cementitious substance like fly ash, lime or calcium-based chemicals. In this research river sand was combined with portland cement and investigated the shear behaviour of this cement-treated sand. Unconfined compression strength (UCS) test and direct shear tests were performed on sandy soil with different percent of cement content. The findings of this study showed that treating sand with cement improves the shear characteristics of sandy soil significantly. Shear characteristics of soil were shown to be dependent not only on cement content but also on curing time.
