Impact of Lime Stabilization on the Dry Density, Specific Gravity, and Moisture Content of Clayey Soil
Main Article Content
Abstract
Globally, there are a lot of clayey soils. The areas where relatively little energy is deposited, like huge marine basins, river deltas and lakes, are typically associated with clayey soil deposits. It is thought that soils with more clay content are more vulnerable to changes in moisture. Furthermore, a number of challenges are presented by these soils, such as high compressibility, water softening, low bearing capacity, and expansive characteristics. The aim of this study is to determine the specific gravity, optimum moisture content and maximum dry density on the clayey soil with the effect of lime content. The previous studies mainly focused on the chemical properties shear strength characteristics and biological properties of clayey soil with the adding of natural fibers content.it is little focused on the influence of lime on the average specific gravity and compaction characteristics of clayey soil. In present investigation the lime content is incorporated in a clayey soil sample at the dosages of 0% (standard sample), 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight and applied the modified proctor test on the samples and the standard equation method used to calculate the average specific gravity of the modified soil samples. The test findings show that with addition of lime contents it has been noticed decrease in maximum dry density, an increase in optimal moisture content and specific gravity.
