When referring to portland cement, "soundness" refers to the ability of a hardened cement paste to retain its volume after setting without delayed destructive expansion (PCA, 1988).
This destructive expansion is caused by excessive amounts of free lime (CaO) or magnesia (MgO).

The Le-chatlier's Method helps us to determine the lime present in the cement in excess. The excess lime causes expansion of cement.
