Abstract
Lime stabilization as a method for soil improvement
is beneficial for number of important engineering
properties, such as: strength, resistance to
fracture, resilient properties and reduced swelling.
This paper briefly describes the application of
quicklime to stabilize soft soil. Many laboratory
tests have been carried out on silty soil to determine
the improvements for lime in varying percentages.
The laboratory investigations for different lime
contents preparing with optimum moisture content
and sample curing under controlled conditions
were carried out. The investigation of both
treated and untreated soil are focused mainly on
the strength parameters, changes in the plastic
properties, compaction requirements, California
Bearing Ratio and compressibility characteristics
of the lime-soil mixtures. Significant improvement
and stabilization of the silty soft soil has been
observed for 4 percent of lime admixtures.
