Answer Posted / ptcool
soundness in case of civil engg means the expansion of cement. it is mainly tested because Certain cements have been found to undergo a large expansion after setting causing disruption of the set and hardened mass.

The testing of soundness of cement, to ensure that the cement does not show any appreciable subsequent expansion is of prime importance.
