Deep mixing is a method frequently used for various applications ranging from ground improvement and confinement to foundations. With the increase of the use of deep mixing for foundations, it is imperative to better define the mechanical behaviour and ageing of the material, which depends on the cement content and grain size distribution. This study aims to quantify the impact of these parameters as well as the percentage of fines on the mechanical behaviour of the mixed material. A number of unconfined compression tests were carried out. The results showed that it was possible to predict the strength of the mixed material after seven and 28 days of curing, based on the cement content and the percentage of fines
