This research is to study the bearing capacity of the cement treated soil admixed with air foam for
applying as fill material. The lightweight embankment with 4 meters length, 4 meters wide and 1.5 meters high was
instrumented. Accordind to ASTM D1194, Plate Bearing Test was conducted using 3.5 tons of dead load.
Moreover, the relationship between loads and settlements was illustrated. Thereafter, the samples of soil around the
embankment area were collected to find the strength parameters for analyzing and comparing with the finite
element method (FEM). The results of the bearing capacity of the cement treated soil admixed with air form study
are first, the steel plate that used for testing has settlement to 20 and 21 millimeter. Second, the maximum bearing
capacity is equal to 44 tons per square meter. Finally, the ultimate strength is equal to 23 and 24 tons per square
meter. The comparison between the result that uses finite elements method and result from the field shows that both
of them have the same direction
