Abstract
The proof that installed soil-cement meets design requirements is difficult, and raises many<br>questions. There are many variables involved in making soil-cement, not the least of which are the<br>soil conditions which have significant impact on the final product. Furthermore, large areas or<br>volumes may be involved, and the confirmation testing needs to be quick, representative, and<br>reliable. Currently applied methods and their potential problems are discussed. The need for an<br>integrated approach is emphasized.
