Abstract


The study of unconfined compression of soft clay improved by using hydraulic cement (GU) and compare to the result of unconfined compression test of soft clay improved by using ordinary Portland cement (OPC) varying with 10, 15, 20 and 25% of cement quantity per weight of remold clay with water content control of 130% in every proportion. Each type of cement was mixed into slurry before mixing soft clay which was transformed into cement clay. The result of unconfined compression test after curing cement-clay sample for 7, 14 and 28 days elucidated that the soft clay improved by using hydraulic cement had the highest unconfined compression value with 25% of cement quantity and 28 days of curing having 777.90 kPa which was higher than the soft clay improved by using ordinary Portland cement with unconfined compression value of 700.40 kPa or 9.96 percent
