Abstract: A high water content soft soil, for example from the sea or river bed, may be improved in strength by incorporating thereinto a finely divided, quenched iron blast furnace slag treated with sulfuric acid, and a Portland cement. The sulfuric acid-treated slag is a product obtained by reacting a finely divided, quenched iron blast furnace slag, such as a water-granulated iron blast furnace slag, with sulfuric acid to convert a part of its calcium components into gypsum.
