✦ Synopsis
This paper is accompanied by a study on constitutive modelling issues of cemented sands. The concentration here is on experimental issues related to the triaxial testing of cemented sands. A preliminary investigation is performed aiming to identify potential effects of specimen size and slenderness on the stress-strain-strength characteristics of cemented sands. A comprehensive experimental study follows where clean sand specimens, as well as specimens with 2, 4 and 6 per cent cement content, are tested. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of cement content and confinement on the shear strength, stiffness, softening and dilation characteristics of cemented sand.

## Abstract The curing of bone cements is accompanied by release of polymerization heat and, hence, by a temperature rise of the curing cement mass. This temperature rise causes expansion of enclosed air bubbles and evaporation of the volatile monomer. An overall expansion of 3 to 5 vol % has been
