STUDIES OF SOIL STABILIZATION WITH LIME /IN PORTUGESE/

THE PRESENT REPORT ANALYSES THE ACTION OF CALCIC AND DOLOMITIC LIME ON VARIOUS TYPES OF SOILS. THE INFLUENCE ON PLASTICITY, VOLUMETRIC CHANGES THROUGH WATER ABSORPTION, GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION, SUCTION AND ABSORPTION ARE STUDIED. OTHER ASPECTS SUCH AS THE INFLUENCE OF CURING TIME AND CATIONIC EXCHANGE CAPACITY ARE CONSIDERED. IT IS CONCLUDED THAT STABILIZATION WITH LIME IS PARTICULARLY WELL SUITED FOR VERY PLASTIC AND EXPANSIVE SOILS. /TRRL/
