Improvement of Geotechnical Characteristics of Clay Soils Using Lime
This study presents the results of an experimental work carried out to investigate the effects of treatment of fine bentonite clay using various contents of lime. Tests conducted verified substantial changes and significant improvement in physical and mechanical characteristics of the clay. Techniques including ultrasonic tests and unconfined compression were utilized for a series of lime content (0%,2%, 4% and 6%) for variable curing times. The studied clay soils revealed that lime treated clays get changed and improved with regard to particular geotechnical characteristics due to cation exchanges, particle rearrangements and pozzolanic reactions. The analysis of ultrasonic tests and compressive strength showed a process of gradual increase in strength and compactness of the reaction products over time. For an optimum dose and extended curing time, the stabilized soil acts as a rock.
