Title: Advances in Soil-Cement Technology: Bridging the Gap Between Geotechnics and Structural Engineering

Abstract

Soil-cement is a versatile construction material that combines the properties of soil and cement, offering a cost-effective and sustainable solution for various civil engineering applications. This review paper explores the recent advances in soil-cement technology, bridging the gap between geotechnical and structural engineering disciplines. It discusses the fundamental principles, material characterization, design considerations, and practical applications of soil-cement in various infrastructure projects. The paper highlights the benefits of soil-cement, including improved strength, durability, and environmental sustainability, while addressing the challenges associated with its production and construction processes. Additionally, it examines the latest developments in soil-cement research, focusing on areas such as performance optimization, durability enhancement, and the incorporation of alternative cementitious materials. The review provides insights into the potential of soil-cement technology to address the growing demand for sustainable and resilient infrastructure, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between geotechnical and structural engineers.
