In this article, the potential of a binder developed by admixing fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) to stabilise expansive soils is evaluated. Laboratory tests included determination of free swell index, swell potential and swelling pressure tests of the soil/binder mixtures at different mixing ratio. The test results showed decrease in the swelling behaviour of the soil with increase in binder content. The percent swell–time relationship was observed to fit the hyperbolic curves enabling us to predict the ultimate percent swell from few initial test results. Addition of 1% of lime to the binder showed further improvement in reducing swelling. A good linear relationship is established between percent oedometer swell and modified free swell index (MFSI) for soil/binder mixtures without lime but the same has not been observed in the presence of lime. The compressibility characteristics of the soil/binder mixtures reduced nominally with increase in binder content but in the presence of lime, the compressibility reduced significantly. Binder used in this study has been found to be effective and economic to stabilise expansive soils with lesser amount of chemical additives such as lime. 相似文献

Lime stabilization is an effective way of stabilizing expansive clays, which cause significant environmental problems both as earth and foundation materials. There are considerable environmental benefits in using the in situ lime-stabilized expansive soils in the construction of road pavements, fill or foundations instead of importing valuable granular materials. However, due to high plastic nature of these clays, achieving appropriate pulverization in field applications is a difficult task. This paper presents the results of a laboratory investigation to determine the effects of soil pulverization quality on lime stabilization of a local expansive clay. Effect of mellowing the soil–lime mixtures for 24 h was also studied to find out whether this would compensate for poor pulverization. The clay studied had swelling pressures varying between 300 and 500 kN/m2 and free swell potential as high as 19%. In this study, 3, 6 and 9% lime by dry weight were used for lime-stabilized samples. Unconfined compression strength, failure strain and Secant Elasticity Modulus values were measured through unconfined compression strength testing. The results of the study showed that lime stabilization improved plasticity, workability, compressive strength, elastic moduli and swelling and compressibility behavior of the expansive clay. While mellowing did not have a definite effect on the measured strength and moduli values, soil pulverization quality considerably affected the unconfined compression strength and Secant Elasticity Modulus values. The higher the percentage passing No. 4 sieve, the higher the effectiveness of lime treatment. Based on the data obtained in this study, two original equations were derived to assign Secant Elasticity Modulus based on unconfined compression strength, for different soil pulverization qualities. Microfabric investigations conducted by Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope and Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry exposed the effect of lime stabilization on fabric, porosity and pore size distributions. The results of the study clearly demonstrated that if enough time and effort were not given to soil pulverization process in lime stabilization works in field applications, lower performance and therefore increased environmental problems should be expected. 相似文献

Compressibility behaviour of lime-stabilized clay 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Lime stabilization reactions result in the formation of inter-particle cementation bonds that improves strength and reduce compressibility of clay soils. Though several studies in the past have focused on the impact of lime stabilization on the strength behaviour, few studies have examined the impact of lime stabilization on the compressibility behaviour of clay soils. The present study examines the compressibility behaviour of lime-stabilized soils in light of the frameworks proposed for saturated cemented clays. Cementation bonds formed during the lime stabilization reactions imparted yield stress in the range of 3900–5200 kPa to the artificially cemented specimens. The compression behaviour of these artificially cemented specimens in the pre-yield stress and post-yield stress regions conformed to the framework proposed for saturated cemented soils. 相似文献

The main objective of this research was to investigate the effect of mellowing on the swelling properties of stabilized Lower Oxford Clay (LOC), a sulfate-bearing clay soil that has caused concern in the past due to expansion upon stabilization. Two stabilizers were used, quicklime and a more sustainable stabilizer — wastepaper sludge ash (WSA), an industrial by-product used on its own and in combination with either quicklime (CaO) or ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS). Quicklime was used on its own as a control. Compacted cylinders of LOC stabilized with the various stabilizers were made either mellowed (compacted 3 days after mixing with stabilizer) or unmellowed (compacted immediately after mixing with stabilizer). The linear expansion of the stabilized cylinders during moist curing and subsequent soaking was monitored for a total of 100 days. The results obtained showed that the linear expansion of unmellowed stabilized LOC was significantly reduced, and thus in terms of swelling potential, mellowing was not beneficial in the LOC system investigated. The results observed also suggest that there are technological, economic as well as environmental advantages of utilizing WSA and similar industrial by-products, in the stabilization of sulfate-bearing and other clay soils, as an alternative to the traditional stabilizers of lime and/or Portland Cement. 相似文献

Physical and engineering properties of soil are improved with various binders and binder combinations. Fly ash and lime are commonly used to improve the properties of expansive soils. An attempt has been made, in this paper, to examine the role of gypsum on the physical and strength behaviour of fly ash-lime stabilized soil. The change in strength behaviour is studied at different curing periods up to 90 days, and the mechanism is elucidated through pH, mineralogical, microstructural and chemical composition study. The strength of soil-fly ash mixture has improved marginally with the addition of lime up to 4 % lime and with curing period for 28 day. Significant increase in strength has been observed with 6 % lime and enhanced significantly after curing for 90 days. The variations in the strength of soil with curing period is due to cation exchange and flocculation initially, and binding of particles with cementitious compounds formed after curing. With addition of 1 % gypsum to soil-fly ash-lime, the strength gain is accelerated as seen at 14 day curing. The accelerated strength early is due to formation of compacted structure with growth of ettringite needles within voids. However, strength at curing for 28 day has been declined due to annoyance of clay matrix with the increase in size of ettringite needle; and again increased after curing for 90 days. The rearrangement of clay matrix and suppression of sulphate effects with formation of cementitious compounds are observed and found to be the main responsible factors for strength recovered. 相似文献

Long-term behavior of lime-stabilized kaolinite clay 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Clay soils create many problems for highway construction and they have to be replaced or improved by stabilization for satisfactory performance. Lime stabilization is a well-established technique to improve the performance of clays. Cementitious minerals form upon mixing of clay with lime causing an improvement in strength and durability. In the study, the changes in the microfabric of long-term cured lime-stabilized kaolinite clay using X-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscope and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) is presented. Unconfined compression test samples at two different lime contents (4 and 12% by weight) were prepared and cured in a humidity room for long time curing. The UCS of pure kaolinite was originally 125 kPa, which increased to 1,015 kPa after 1 month and to 2,640 kPa (21 times the initial value) after 10 years for cured lime-stabilized kaolinite samples. Similar long-term strength increases were also observed for stabilized kaolinite with 12% lime. Calcium aluminate silicate hydrate minerals were detected in the structure of the kaolinite. This suggests pozzolanic reactions with lime stabilization may continue in the long-term for up to 10 years. 相似文献

Effect of the combination of lime and natural pozzolana on the compaction and strength of soft clayey soils: a preliminary study 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Soft soil stabilization has been practised for quite some time by mixing additives, such as cement, lime and fly ash to the soil to increase its strength. However, there is a lack of investigations on the use of natural pozzolana alone or combined with lime for ground improvement applications. An experimental programme was undertaken to study the effect of using lime, natural pozzolana or a combination of both on the geotechnical characteristics of soft soils. Lime or natural pozzolana was added to soft soils at ranges of 0?C10% and 0?C20%, respectively. In addition, combinations of lime?Cnatural pozzolana were added to soft soils at the same ranges. Test specimens were subjected to compaction tests, shear tests and unconfined compression tests. Specimens were cured for 1, 7, 28 and 90?days, after which they were tested for unconfined compression tests. Based on the favourable results obtained, it can be concluded that the soft soils can be successfully stabilized by the combined action of lime and natural pozzolana. Since natural pozzolana is much cheaper than lime, the addition of natural pozzolana in lime?Csoil mix may particularly become attractive and can result in cost reduction of construction. 相似文献

The role of clay minerals in marly soils on its stability 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
In many sub-tropical and tropical regions of the world, lime or cement stabilization of marly soils is used as a convenient and expedient means for the development of foundation base courses and inexpensive wearing courses for transport purposes. The failure of many of these natural and stabilized marly soils to perform their functions have been reported. Mechanical factors generally used to explain the causes for the foundation failures have not been satisfactorily accepted. This study uses thermodynamic modelling and X-ray diffraction analysis to explain the general basic causes for deterioration of the support capability of these types of soils. The presence of palygorskite in marly soils provides it with some very unique features in its natural state, and particularly when it is stabilized with lime or cement. Formation of an expansive mineral, ettringite, as a transformation product of palygorskite increases the swelling potential of the stabilized soils. The various interactions, reactions and factors contributing to the stability and instability of marly soils, and lime stabilized marly soils are discussed. 相似文献

In this study, a synthetic soil mixture has been developed and proposed for experimental soil-structure interaction shaking table tests on building frames with shallow foundations resting on soft soil deposits. The proposed mix provides adequate undrained shear strength to mobilise the required shallow foundation bearing capacity underneath the structural model while meeting both criteria of dynamic similarity between the model and the prototype to model soft soils in shaking table tests. To find the most appropriate mixture, different mixes with different proportions of mix components were examined in the soils laboratory. Performing bender element tests, the shear wave velocity of the soil specimens was acquired at different cure ages and the results were examined and compared. Based on the test results, a synthetic clay mixture consisting of kaolinite clay, bentonite, fly ash, lime and water has been proposed for experimental shaking table tests. 相似文献

In this paper, a comparative experimental study was carried out to evaluate the effect of inclusion of different fiber types on strength of lime-stabilized clay. In this scope, a series of unconfined compressive strength tests were carried out on specimens including basalt and polypropylene fiber compacted under Standard Proctor effort (i.e., 35% by weight of soil). The effects of curing period (1, 7, 28, and 90 days), fiber type (basalt and polypropylene), fiber content (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1%), fiber length (6, 12, and 19 mm), and lime content (0 and 9%) on strength properties were investigated. The results revealed that both basalt and polypropylene fibers increased the strength without inclusion of lime. For specimens including lime, strength of polypropylene fiber-reinforced specimens was remarkably higher than that reinforced with basalt fiber for lime-stabilized clay. However, greatest strength improvement was obtained by use of 0.75% basalt fiber of 19 mm length with 9% lime content after 90-day curing. Additionally, results of strength tests on specimens including 3 and 6% lime and 12-mm basalt fiber after 1, 7, 28, and 90-day curing were presented. It is evident that the use of 6-mm basalt fiber and 12-mm polypropylene fiber were the best options; however, efficiency of fiber inclusion is subject to change by varying lime contents. It was also observed that the secant modulus was increased by use of lime; however, strength of the correlations among secant modulus and unconfined compressive strength values was decreased by increasing amount of lime for specimens including both basalt and polypropylene fibers. 相似文献

Soils containing expansive clays undergo swelling that can be both detrimental and beneficial in various applications. In
the Arabian Gulf coastal region, natural heterogeneous soils containing clay and sand (tills, shales, and clayey sands) support
most of the civil infrastructure systems. Likewise, mixes of clay and sand are used for local earthwork construction such
as roads and landfills. A clear understanding of the swelling behaviour of such soils is pivotal at the outset of all construction
projects. The main objective of this paper was to understand the evolution of swelling with increasing clay content in local
soils. A theoretical framework for clay–sand soils was developed using phase relationships. Laboratory investigations comprised
of mineralogical composition and geotechnical index properties of the clay and sand and consistency limits, swelling potential,
and morphology of clay–sand mixes. Results indicated that soil consistency of mixes of a local expansive clay and an engineered
sand depends on the weighted average of the constituents. Mixes with 10% clay through 40% clay capture the transition from
a sand-like behaviour to a clay-like behaviour. Influenced by the initial conditions and soil matrix, the swelling potential
of the investigated mixes correlated well with soil plasticity (SP(%) = 0.16 (I
p)1.188). The parameters sand void ratio and clay–water ratio were found to better explain the behaviour of blended clay–sand soils. 相似文献

An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the effects of lime-stabilized soil-cushion on the strength behavior
of expansive soil. In the present investigation, a series of laboratory tests (Unconfined compression tests and CBR tests)
were conducted on both expansive soil alone and expansive soil cushioned with lime-stabilized non-expansive cohesive soil.
Lime contents of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10% by dry weight of cohesive non-swelling soil was used in the stabilized soil cushion. Both
expansive soil and lime stabilized soil cushion were compacted to Standard Proctor’s optimum condition with thickness ratio
2:1. Tests on cushioned expansive soils were conducted at different curing and soaking periods i.e., 7, 14, 28 and 56 days.
The test results revealed that maximum increase in strength was achieved after 14 days of curing or soaking period with 8%
of lime content. 相似文献

The potentials of lime stabilization of lateritic soils 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Samuel Akinlabi Ola 《Engineering Geology》1977,11(4):305-317
The paper reviews lime stabilization of lateritic soils and shows that all Nigerian lateritic soils from A-1-a soil to A-7-6 soil used in the investigation, improved their engineering characteristics substantially by the addition of lime. The plasticity indices of the soils were reduced whereas the plastic limits increased; the liquid limits increased slightly, the maximum dry density decreased and the optimum moisture content increased. From the results of Durability and CBR tests, only the A-1 soil and A-2 soil have any potential as competent base materials and consequently only these require any further field tests. 6% lime is recommended for these field tests. The other soils that do not qualify for bases may be utilized as sub-base materials. 相似文献

In clayey lands, swelling problem causes vertical displacements on road subbase, and finally, failure in pavement occurs due
to lack of appropriate drainage systems. One popular and inexpensive method of soil stabilization is using lime. Investigations
indicate that based on environmental and atmospheric conditions, the chemical reaction of lime and clayey soil is not accomplished
well, owning to low temperature and high humidity. This paper aims to investigate the influence of adding rice husk ash on
the reaction between soil and lime and lime reaction and determine soil physical and mechanical characteristics. Therefore,
sufficient laboratory soil tests, such as Atterberg limits, compaction, California bearing ratio (CBR), and direct shear test
are carried out, and the results are analyzed. The results generally indicate that adding lime and rice husk ash (RHA) causes
a decrease in dry density and an increase in optimum water content. Increasing lime and RHA causes a decreasing rate in soil
liquid limit and plastic limit. Adding lime and RHA to the soil causes a decrease in deformability of soil samples and gives
more brittle materials. Also, this action causes an increase in shear strength. Moreover, increasing in CBR amount under the
influence of increasing RHA is one of the main results of this paper. 相似文献

Engineering properties of unfired clay masonry bricks 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
The shortage of low cost and affordable housing in the UK has led to many investigations into new building masonry materials. Fired clay masonry bricks are conventionally used for mainstream masonry wall construction but suffer from the rising price of energy plus other related environmental problems such as high energy usage and carbon dioxide emission. The use of stabilised unfired clay bricks for masonry construction may solve these problems.This paper reports on the engineering properties of unfired clay bricks produced during the first industrial trial of unfired clay material development carried out at Hanson Brick Company, in Stewartby, Bedfordshire, under the Knowledge Exploitation Fund (KEF) Collaborative Industrial Research Project (CIRP) programme. The mixes were formulated using a locally available industrial by-product (Ground Granulated Blastfurnace Slag — GGBS) which is activated with an alkaline (lime or Portland cement) combined with clay soil. Portland cement was not used in the formulation of the unfired stabilised masonry bricks, except as a control, which is a significant scientific breakthrough for the building industry. Another breakthrough is the fact that only about 1.5% lime was used for GGBS activation. This level of lime is not sufficient for most road construction applications where less strength values are needed and where 3–8% lime is required for effective soil stabilisation. Hence, the final pricing of the unfired clay bricks is expected to be relatively low.The laboratory results demonstrate that the compressive strength, moisture content, rate of water absorption, percentage of void, density and durability assessment (repeated 24-hour freezing/thawing cycles) were all within the acceptable engineering standards for clay masonry units. The paper also discusses on the environmental performance of the unfired clay in comparison to the bricks, used in mainstream construction of today. The bricks produced using this technology can be used for low-medium cost housing and energy efficient masonry wall construction. 相似文献

石灰土在公路等工程中应用很广泛,随着公路改扩建等工程的迅速增多,面临如何处理与利用废弃石灰土的难题。通过对比分析素土、石灰土、重塑石灰土的压缩、强度等力学指标,探讨重塑石灰土的力学特征。结果表明,重塑石灰土压缩系数与石灰土相比提高了2～3倍,无侧限抗压强度损失了30%～40%,内摩擦角增大了1.2倍,黏聚力降低了40%。提出用劣化系数评价重塑石灰土的力学特性劣化程度,并从石灰处治红黏土的团粒化、碳化、灰结机制等角度分析了重塑石灰土性能劣化的本质原因。与素土相比,石灰土的黏粒（d <0.002 mm）含量减少而粗粒（d >0.074 mm）含量增加,从而提高了石灰土的内摩擦角。但重塑过程则破化了石灰土中的胶结结构致使重塑石灰土的黏聚力降低,从而影响重塑石灰土的其他力学性能指标。 相似文献

石灰稳定土工程翻修改造后会产生大量的石灰土弃渣,为避免污染环境和节约工程投资,需重新利用破碎的石灰土进行填筑。但石灰土破碎后强度急剧降低,需要添加胶凝材料提升其力学性能。以重塑石灰土为研究对象,通过添加5%石灰或水泥进行再改良,对比分析两种再改良土的强度和压缩性等力学指标,结果表明,石灰再改良土的力学特性优于水泥再改良土。借助粒度分析、电镜扫描、X衍射和热重分析试验手段揭示了石灰再改良土性能优越的内在机制,发现石灰再改良土中的石灰和石灰土团粒能形成很好的胶结;但水泥未能和石灰土团粒形成有效胶结,自身形成了边-面和边-边接触的片状多孔架构。重塑石灰土残存的氢氧化钙是引起水泥再改良土性能劣于石灰再改良土的主要诱因。 相似文献

利用改良膨胀土作为高速公路路堤填筑材料是宁淮高速公路需要解决的主要问题。尽管室内试验论证可以用石灰改良膨胀土性质,但现场石灰改良土施工还要解决三大问题：石灰拌和均匀性和石灰含量的检测问题、现场压实方法和压实度控制问题、现场压实改良土的胀缩性和强度是否满足高等级公路路床和路基的要求问题。结合宁淮高速公路先导段施工,设计了试验段进行现场试验。试验结果表明,通过合理的施工工艺、有力的质量控制,改良膨胀土能够满足设计要求。改良土已经不具有膨胀土性质,胀缩性低,CBR强度高,是良好的路堤填筑材料。 相似文献
