TL;DR: In this article, a program of splitting tensile tests and unconfined compression tests considering three distinct voids ratio and seven cement contents, varying from 1 to 12%, was carried out in the present study.

TL;DR: In this article, the porosity/cement ratio is used to assess both the initial stiffness and the unconfined compressive strength of the soil-cement mixtures studied, and it is shown that each soil matrix has a unique relationship for the initial shear modulus (G0/qu) against adjusted porosity ratio.

TL;DR: In this article, a unique dosage methodology has been established based on rational criteria where the voids/cement ratio plays a fundamental role in the assessment of the target unconfined compressive strength.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of diverse soil structures formed during compaction of fine grained soils at distinct water contents, the porosity of the specimens and the amount of cement inserted on them play a fundamental role in target strength assessment of such materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a study was carried out to quantify the influence of the amount of cement and the porosity in a cement- voids ratio, defined as the ratio between the volume of concrete and voids of a mixture, on the stress-dilatancy behavior of an artificially cemented sand.
