Description :

Lime stabilization of soils soil stabilization significantly changes the characteristics of a soil to produce long term permanent strength and stability particularly with respect to the action of water and frost figure 3 figure 3 lime stabilized layer see arrow bridging an erosion failure illustrates strength. This paper presents the soil cement mix design field laboratory procedure and results the construction sequences and the basic design example of the soil cement mix are also given in this paper lastly the results of the soil cement improvements are shown 1 introduction. Guidelines for soil stabilization stabilization projects are site specific and require integration of standard test methods analysis procedures and design steps to develop acceptable solutions many variables should be considered in soil treatment especially if the treatment is performed with the intent of providing a long term effect on soil . Civil engineering construction projects particularly highway projects built on problematic soils including soft soils expansive soils and other soil types require some form of soil stabilization to improve the subsoil properties without the stabilization the infrastructure will experience severe distress which results in poor performance.
