Quicklime is frequently used to dry wet soils at construction sites and elsewhere, reducing downtime and providing an improved working surface. An even more significant use of lime is in the modification and stabilization of soil beneath road and similar construction projects.
10 maj 2014 · Lime-treated soil effectively increases the strength, durability and workability of the soil. Such treatment also improves soil compressibility. A fluctuation behavior was observed on the ...
These reactions between soil and lime in the presence of water proceed through a combination of four basic mechanisms: (i) cation exchange or ion exchange; (ii) flocculation and agglomeration; (iii) pozzolanic reaction; and (iv) carbonation [9–11].
21 wrz 2020 · Lime stabilization refers to the usage of Quick lime (CaO) or Hydrated lime (Ca(OH) 2) as a stabilizing agent for the stabilization of soil and is best suited for fine-grained soil s having...
1 mar 2017 · The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the stabilization effectiveness of different percentages (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%) of quick and hydrated lime when applied separately to lateritic soil.
Lime-Soil stabilization is the process of adding lime to the soil to improve its properties like density, bearing capacity etc. Various factors affecting lime-soil stabilization are soil type, lime type, lime content used, compaction, curing period and additives which are briefly discussed below.
23 maj 2018 · The amount of available lime and the current (total) CaO content suggest that the quicklime which had been used 34 years ago for the treatment of the soil had achieved a degree of pozzolanic reaction of 47% and a degree of carbonation of 37%, leaving 16% of available lime in the treated soil.
