... it is difficult to quantify the effect of cementation. A few studies have been performed to evaluate the cementation effect on sand by cone penetration test (CPT). Akili and Torrance (1981), Akili and Al-Joulani (1988), Rad and Tumay (1986), Joshi et al. (1995) and Puppala et al. (1995) estimated the cementation...

... device and sampling was conducted simultaneously in order to measure water content, pH and electric conductivity which would be the key for configuring the cementation effects indirectly. In the results of electric decomposition in iron electrode, the measured shear strength was increased considerably...
