Abstract
The unconfined compression test is utilized to research on the cemented marine soft clay and testifies that there is considerable discrepancy between the effect improved by slag cement and that by Portland cement. X-ray diffraction analysis is employed to investigate the mechanism and the causes of the discrepancy. It is observed that the strength of the cemented soil is related to the amount of the cement hydrates. Slag cement generates more hydrates, and restricts the influence of soluble salt in the soft clay on cemented soil.
