Unconfined compression tests were performed on a cement-stabilized soil that was cured under an overburden pressure using a newly developed device. The influence of the loading time on unconfined compressive behavior was investigated based on the test results on a cement-stabilized kaolin. The test showed that the consolidation settlement and the undrained shear strength remarkably increased with the increasing of the loading time up to about 90 minutes. Furthermore, the wet density and water content of the specimen was almost constant the curing time after unloading.
