Four typical works of offshore or land-based projects are introduced. With samples from these projects and laboratory tests, statistical analysis is made on the increment law of the strength of cement-soil mixture with different amount of cement, and strengths under different working conditions are compared. It is found that the amount of cement in the cement-soil mixture is closely related to the unconfined compressive strength of the mixture. At the age of 90 d,the unconfined compressive strength of the cement-soil mixture increased by 0.054 MPa—0.124 MPa with each cement increasing 10 kg/m3 in the cement-soil mixture, averagely increased by 0.085 MPa, while that at the age of 120 d increased by 1100 in comparison.The quality of the cement-soil mixture should be comprehensively evaluated in accordance with the trimmed average of strength, coefficient of variation and rock quality designation （RQD） indicators of sampling ratio.展开更多
