3. INTRODUCTION
Soil cement is compacted mixture of soil/aggregate,
portland cement, water. it is also known as cement
stabilization of soil. it is widely used as low cost
pavement base.

4. RAW MATERIAL OF SOIL
CEMENT
Soil/aggregate
Portland cement
Water

5. TYPE OF SOIL CEMENT
Cement modified soil
Cement treated base
Full depth reclamation

6. APPLICATION OF SOIL
CEMENT
Earth embankments
Pavements
Soil cement bricks

7. PERFORMANCE OF SOIL
CEMENT
Its slab like characteristic and beam strength are
unmatched by granular bases.
Hard, rigid soil cement resists cyclic cold rain and
spring-thaw damage. cement stabilizes soil in two
ways. first, it reduces soil plasticity, especially for the
soil in which there is high amount of clay particles.

8. ADVANTAGE
Reduces cost
Eliminate waste
Improve strength
Decreases volume change characteristic
Improve performance

9. DISADVANTAGE
Can not operate if moisture of soil above 10%.
Cracks may form in soil cement.
It is harmful for environment.
It requires extra labor.

10. CONCLUSION
As a civil engineer our aim is economy with out losing
strength. hence soil cement is best choice for low
traffic pavements. soil cement bricks are eco-friendly
with nature.
