LABORATORY STUDY TO IMPROVE EXPANSIVE SOILS USING LIME-COLUMN TECHNIQUE
Original language description
Expansive soils owe their characteristics to the presence of swelling clay minerals. As they get wet, the clay minerals absorb water molecules and expand; conversely, as they dry, they shrink, leaving large voids in the soil.This research is based on both experimental and comparative approaches, with the objective of evaluating the enhancement that can be achieved using lime-column technique on clay soils. Two models of clay soil were prepared in the lab with a lime-column installed in the center. Tests were made on samples extracted from the models after different treatment periods, and then results were compared to the properties of the untreated soil to measure and compare the enhancement. Final results showed significant improvement in the soil properties in terms of swelling and plasticity.
