THE POSSIBILITY OF STABILIZING EXCESSIVELY MOIST CLAYEY MATERIAL

ISPIKIVANJE MOGUENOSTI STABILIZACIJE PREVISE VLAZNOG GLINENOG MATERIJALA

Clayey materials of different moisture contents - higher than optimal - were tested after treatment with several kinds of lime and with fly ash. The testing was carried out in order to determine the action of specific types of binders on soil with high moisture content, and the maximum soil moisture content with which the improvement of mechanical soil properties is still possible. Quick lime proved to be the most efficient agent and gave the most favorable results, i.e., effected soil improvement even with a 30 per cent moisture content (12 percent above the optimum content). Hydrated lime and fly ash showed a positive effect only with moisture contents which were close to the optimum. In view of the limited number of tested materials, soil in particular, the results are of an orientation character only. /Author/TRRL/
