Alteration of CBR Values in Soft Soils Using Enzymatic Lime

Eujine, Greeshma Nizy / Chandrakaran, S. / Sankar, N.

Abstract Natural soil samples were treated and cured with lime, enzyme and enzymatic lime. The cured samples were subjected to various laboratory tests. The optimum dosages were calculated based on the results of Unconfined Compressive Strength Tests. Later samples were mixed with optimum dosages and compacted in Proctor moulds and were subjected to CBR tests at different stages of curing. Significant improvement was observed in enzymatic lime stabilized soils over lime stabilized and enzyme stabilized soils. CBR tests were also done by varying the percentage of clay in the soil specimens. In all tests enzymatic lime stabilized soils exhibited superior improvement of properties.
