| Abstract: | 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. |
