CHEMICAL STABILIZATION OF SOIL USING LIME AS A CHEMICAL REAGENT

Abstract

of swelling. The paper deals with the general principles of chemical soil treatment, whereby a special attention is paid to the application of lime as a chemical stabilizer, which has been shown to be particularly effective in the case of clayey soil. Lastly, the advantages and limitations of this soil stabilization technique are considered, as well as possible directions for its improvement. compaction and unconfined compressive strength were investigated. The results show that, for the examined Series I, II and III, the improvement occurs 7 days, 14 days and 28 days after the treatment, respectively.
