Compressive strength of cemented sand by Chong, Ying Jie.

“…In this paper, the four main factors affecting the compressive strength of cemented sand will be investigated: water-cement ratio of 0.5, 0.6, 0.7; sand-cement ratio of 4.0, 5.0, 6.0; curing age at 3, 7 and 28 days; strain rate of 0.5mm/min, 1.0mm/min, and 2.0 mm/min. The other factors such as dry density, sample dimensions (height and diameter), curing conditions were kept constant. …”
