Experimental Study on Unconfined Compressive Strength of Completely Weathered Granite Improved Soil

In this paper, mechanics characteristics of whole weathered granite improved soil is studied through an indoor experiment. The changes of the fluid plasticity index before and after improvement in different compaction conditions are analyzed. The full weathering granite is improved through adding different proportions of lime and cement. By liquid plastic limit test, the rules of changes on improved soil's liquid plastic limit are analyzed in different mixed ratio conditions. It can be concluded that the improved soil's plasticity index decreases with lime or cement dosage increasing and changes over the time. The liquid limit, plastic limit and the plasticity index of improved soil changes with the addition of lime and cement dosage. The relationship of unconfined compressive strength with the lime and cement dosage, plastic limit, and the plasticity index is the polynomial relationship.
