Özet
This study examines the compression and strength properties of cement treated clays with various plasticity index. Clay samples with different plasticity were obtained by mixing kaolin and montmorillonite at different ratios. Clay blends were treated with cement in percentages of 3, 6 and 9 % in terms of the dry mass of clay blends and the amount of water content for each clay blend was set to the optimum water content. Besides, a group of cement free specimens were prepared for comparison reasons. All specimens were cured for 7, 28 and 90 days in a humidity-controlled room at a constant temperature. After curing, specimens were subjected to unconfined compression, ultrasonic pulse velocity tests.
