Soil Cement

Definition: a mixture of soil and measured amounts of portland cement and water compacted to a high density.- ACI Concrete Terminology


Soil cement is a densely compacted mixture of portland cement, soil/aggregate, other cementitious materials (possibly), and water. It is used primarily as a base material for pavements, but also for slope protection, low permeability liners, foundation stabilization, and other applications.
