cementation

Examples

• All

• The cementation of soil particles improves the stability of the ground for building projects.

• During these stages, the plasticity of the soil is reduced and cementation of particles is made.

• The greater bonding and friction between the surface of fibers and the cementation material cause the increase in the tensile strength of reinforced soil cement.

  Academic text (2016)

• It was explained above that by adding cement to soil, the hydration products of cement cause cementation between the particles of soil and produce a mixture with strength greater than that of clay soil.

  Academic text (2016)

• These processes change the electrical charges around the particles of soil and cause a link between the calcium silicate and aluminate hydration products and soil particles, which is called the cementation stage.

• In geology, cementation is essential as it forms solid rock from loose sediment by binding particles together.

• During the process of cementation, mineral deposits fill the spaces between grains, resulting in a harder rock formation.
