Like concrete, portland cement in soilcrete continues to hydrate and cure over time to pick up strength. We typically use sulfate resistant (Type II/V) cement. We have not experienced any problems with degradation over time.
Keller has performed deep soil mixing extensively in Florida. Even with crushable calcareous sands or limestone, we can achieve target soilcrete design strengths that are necessary to meet project requirements.
What about the durability of deep soil mixing?

How and why is this used in FL soils and also with its crushable limestone “bedrock”?

@@jamesgingery1842I guess the Crete would flow into any voids created?
