“…Based on examination of a large body of experimental data (e.g. Arabi and Wild, 1986;Bell, 1996;Croft, 1968;George et al, 1992;Kassim and Chern, 2004), the peak strength characteristics of lime-treated clays are investigated in the following sections and semi-empirical strength equations are proposed. These characteristics are also useful for formulating a complete constitutive model of lime-treated soils (e.g.…”

Strength is often the most significant parameter in measuring the effect of soil improvement in geotechnical engineering practice. In this paper, a primary study is made of the variation in unconfined compressive strength of lime-treated soft clays under various practical conditions. There are three major factors that affect the strength NotationA w ratio of lime to clay by weight, both in dry state A w,max optimum lime content a rate of strength increment in the logarithmic t scale q shear stress q 0 strength of the untreated soil q max maximum unconfined compression strength q T0 strength at T ¼ 08C T curing temperature t curing time AE Aw material parameter describing the influence of lime content AE T material parameter describing the influence of curing temperature AE t material parameter describing the influence of curing time AE w material parameter describing the incremental rate of increase in strength with lime content

“…optimale augmente lorsque le dosage de la chaux augmente. Un comportement similaire a été observé par différents chercheurs qui ont effectués des essais sur des sols stabilisés à la chaux [1,[4][5][6][7][8][9]. L'explication de ce comportement est probablement une conséquence des raisons suivantes : 1) la chaux entraîne l'agrégation des particules par le procédé complexe d'échange cationique aboutissant à une modification de la granulométrie du sol et provoquant par conséquent les particules du sol à occuper de plus grands espaces.…”

Abstract. Soft soil stabilization has been practiced for quite some time by mixing additives, such as cement, lime and fly ash to the soil to increase its strength. However, there is a lack of investigations on the use of natural pozzolana alone or combined with lime for ground improvement applications. An experimental program was undertaken to study the effect of using lime, natural pozzolana or a combination of both on the geotechnical characteristics of soft soils. Lime or natural pozzolana was added to soft soils at ranges of 0-10% and 0-20%, respectively. In addition, combinations of limenatural pozzolana were added to soft soils at the same ranges. Test specimens were subjected to compaction tests and unconfined compression tests. Specimens were cured for 1, 7, 28 and 90 days after which they were tested for unconfined compression tests. Based on the favourable results obtained, it can be concluded that the soft soils can be successfully stabilized by the combined action of lime and natural pozzolana. Since natural pozzolana is much cheaper than lime, the addition of natural pozzolana in limesoil mix may particularly become attractive and can result in cost reduction of construction.Résumé.

“…This remediation mode is often used. On the one hand, because of its facility and economic appearance and on the other hand due to its effectiveness who allow to obtain engineering materials having superior properties [2][3][4][5][6]. Several studies on the basic lime-clay-reaction mechanisms have been widely reported in literature [7][8][9][10] allowing a better understanding of the physicochemical evolution of the system and micro structural features induced after the addition of lime [11][12][13][14][15].…”

Abstract. Clay soils are known for their water sensitivity, which causes irreparable damage to any structure built on this type of soil. In order to avoid such problem, it is necessary to use various improvement and stabilization methods such as treatment with lime. This process has been used successfully in the field for decades. The addition of lime generates various physicochemical reactions within the soil such as cation exchange and pozzolanic reactions which are largely responsible for the improvement of the soil in question. This paper presents a study concerning the variation of physicochemical properties of clayey soil with the addition of quicklime at different percentages. Experiments were performed on two clayey soils (CL type) in order to investigate the influence of quicklime on Atterberg limits and pH. These tests were carried out in an attempt to study and follow the development and progression of various reactions occurred within the soil with various lime percentages. The results show that the addition of quicklime causes a significant improvement in soil properties by reducing plasticity and thereby improves the soil workability. It can also be found that the addition of lime increase pH of soil, which allow activating pozzolanic reactions who tend to stabilize the soil in question by formation of cementitious compounds. Finally, the pH can be considered as a relevant parameter who allows a better understanding of the reactions that occur in the soil matrix.
