This paper presents an experimental investigation on compressibility due to loading and a collapse potential upon wetting of cemented loose sands, which is proposed to be used as a material for construction of artificial aquifer. The experiments were performed on the cemented loose sand samples with various cement contents and periods of curing time. The results show a decrease in compressibility due to loading and collapse potential upon wetting of cemented loose sand with increasing period of curing time. Moreover, it was found that, with increasing applied stress, the compressibility due to loading increased while the collapse potential upon wetting decreased. The total compression due to both loading and wetting increased with increasing applied stress.
