Triaxial Extension and Tension behavior of lime-cement improved clay

Ignat, R., Baker, S., Holmén, M. and Larsson, S. Triaxial Extension and Tension behavior of lime-cement improved clay. Soils and Foundations .

This paper presents the results of a series of undrained and drained isotropic consolidated triaxial extension, tension and compression laboratory tests on lime-cement-improved very soft clay. The main objective of these tests was to investigate the material strength and stiffness properties for stress conditions similar to those expected on the passive side of excavations where a retaining structure is supported by Deep Mixing columns.
