STATE OF THE ART: LIME STABILIZATION. REACTIONS, PROPERTIES, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION

This state-of-the-art report on lime stabilization is based on a comprehensive analysis of current practice and technical literature on soil-lime treatment. Many engineering properties of soils are optimized by lime treatment. Lime treated soils are used in pavement construction as subgrades, subbase materials, and base materials. Topics included in this report are soil-lime reactions, soil-lime mixture design and lime stabilization construction. A list of references is also included for more detailed information.
