Abstract

The process of care of soils stabilized with hydraulic binder affects the results of destructive and non-destructive tests. The process itself depends on the country performing stabilization. This study investigated the effect of immersion of stabilized soil samples during the curing process on the ultrasonic pulse velocity. The study showed an increase in velocity of 12.9% in samples immersed in water for seven days. The paper presents test results for seven methods of soil treatment.
