| Abstract | This research was conducted to investigate the behavior of two
clayey soils stabilized with cement and lime.
Classification and
specific gravity of soils, plasticity indices, and compaction characteristics of soils with and without stabilizers were determined.
The
unconfined compression test was used to determine the strength values of the stabilized soils.
The laboratory test results indicated little change in the maximum dry density and optimum water content of the soils with addition
of cement, but there were significant changes with lime.
The
plasticity indices decreased with the addition of a stabilizer, the
reduction was very significant with lime.
The strength of the soil-
cement mixtures increased with an increase in percentage of cement.
For lime stabilized clays, there was an optimum lime concentration for
maximum strength.
The strength of all stabilized mixtures increased
with curing time.
Higher temperature (100°F) curing in general gave
higher strength values than moist curing at 70°F.
All lime stabilized
soil samples did not stand for 10 cycles of alternate wetting and
drying. |
