Summary

Laboratory test results for the stress-strain relationships for lightly cemented sand specimens are presented. The tests were conducted with the specimens under compression and tension without any confining pressure. The cement content was varied from 4% to 8%. Based on the test results, the variations of the stress and strain ratios at failure with cement content are presented for specimens under compression and tension.
