“…Many stabilization methods have focused on the effects of lime piles on clay performance (Kitsugi and Azakami, 1982;Rogers and Glendinning, 1996, 2001Mathew and Rao, 1997;Rajasekaran and Narasimha Rao, 2002;Barker et al, 2006Barker et al, , 2007Okyay and Dias, 2010). Previous studies have found that ion migration causes an increase in density and a decrease in the water content of surrounding clay with lime piles, and thus an increase in strength and stiffness Glendinning, 1996, 1997;Mathew and Rao, 1997;Rajasekaran and Narasimha Rao, 2002;Barker et al, 2006).…”
