The CPT resistance of the original set of embankments was evaluated shortly after construction and approximately 360days later, immediately prior to being demolished for purposes of a second study. Cone tip resistances were observed to double to triple with aging. For the 80∕20 CG-DM blend, a 4MPa [40 tons per square foot (tsf)] or threefold increase in CPT tip resistance was measured. Likewise, isotropically consolidated, undrained triaxial shear tests were performed on relatively undisturbed thin-walled tube specimens of the 360-day aged CG-DM blend materials. The triaxial tests revealed that the effective friction angles of the aged materials increased by up to 8° over freshly prepared laboratory CG-DM blend specimens. The strength gains appeared to be more strongly linked to (amorphous) silica cementation rather than the formation of carbonates. Disturbance (demolition and reconstruction) generally reduced the in situ CPT behavior to that of the originally constructed embankments.
