| Summary: | Article Highlights The cemented sand gravel (CSG) mixture is an efficient and economical solution for the construction of sediment control check dams in cold regions. The durability of coarse-grained soils is improved after blending with a cementing agent. The freeze-thaw cycles alter the microstructure of the hardened cement paste within the CSG mixture and decrease the mixture strength. The durability, strength, and stiffness increase, and permeability decrease with increasing the cement content in the CSG mixture. |
