LIME-SOIL MIXTURES

THIS REPORT IS LIMITED TO A SUMMARY OF THE PUBLISHED KNOWLEDGE OF LIME-SOIL MIXTURES WHICH WAS PREPARED FROM CURRENT LITERATURE. FIRST, THE VARIOUS TYPES OF LIMES AND THEIR CHEMICAL PROPERTIES ARE COVERED. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS GIVEN ON THE METHODS OF MANUFACTURING, ON THE AVAILABILITY OF DIFFERENT LIMES, AND ON THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR STABILIZATION PURPOSES. THE RELATIVELY LIMITED DATA ON ION EXCHANGE, CEMENTING ACTION AND CARBONATION ARE SUMMARIZED. PHYSICAL CHANGES PLASTICITY, DENSITY, STRENGTH, PRODUCED BY THE ACTIONS OF LIMES AND SOILS IN LIME-SOIL MIXTURES AND LIME-POZZOLAN-SOIL MIXTURES ARE DISCUSSED. THE FIELD PERFORMANCE OF LIME-SOIL STABILIZED ROADS IS REVIEWED. THE REVIEWED LITERATURE CONTINUALLY INDICATED THAT THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO STABILIZING SOILS WITH LIMES. THESE LIMITATIONS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED. FINALLY, A NUMBER OF RESEARCH PROJECTS ARE SUGGESTED THAT SHOULD ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE EXISTING LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF LIME-SOIL MIXTURES. AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON LIME-SOIL MIXTURES, CONTAINING ALL AVAILABLE PUBLISHED LITERATURE TO JULY 1960, IS INCLUDED. /AUTHOR/
