The Great East Japan earthquake of 2011 generated a huge quantity of disaster waste and tsunami deposits, which required proper treatment and disposal. To effectively use these waste soils in geotechnical applications, it is essential to understand the mechanical behaviour in their native (pure) or mechanically stabilized form (amended with cement and fibre). To address these objectives, a series of monotonic stress-strain (e.g. compression and extension) triaxial drained and undrained tests were performed on pure Toyoura sand and mixtures of Toyoura sand-silt-cement-fibre. Additional laboratory studies were performed to investigate other related aspects, such as density, back pressure, small-strain elasticity, curing …
