A small amount of cement can be added to the soil with high water content to improve its engineering properties. It is difficult to point out the exact time when liquified state of soil is transformed into semi-plastic or plastic states when high water content soil is hydrated by cement. In this study fall cone penetration are used to explain the phase change and compactable status of soil cement. And engineering properties of soil cement compacted in plastic state are investigated. Results reveal that fall cone penetration depth of lmm or less is judged to a compactable state of soil-cement. Permeability and CBR values of soil cement increased with mixing ratio increased.
