LIME COLUMNS AS FOUNDATION FOR LIGHT STRUCTURES
The design of a lime column foundation is normally based on the results from unconfined compression tests on soil samples stabilized in the laboratory. The results from the laboratory investigations have been correlated with different in-situ tests. A specially designed penetrometer has been calibrated with the Menard pressuremeter. The settlements of a single storey family house placed on lime columns located at Gloemsta in the central part of Sweden have been measured during a three year period. The maximum observed total and differential settlements were 50 mm and 10 mm respectively. (TRRL)
