Soil stabilization through cementation is a commonly-adopted ground improvement technique in which Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is widely used as the binding material. This paper explores the applicability of a low–carbon, rapid-hardening calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement for an accelerated and...
