LIME-SOIL MIXTURES FOR LOW-VOLUME ROAD CONSTRUCTION IN EGYPT

Some experimental research findings on the application of hydrated lime to the superficial soils of the valley and delta of the Nile River for the purpose of low-volume road construction are described. Eight soil samples and one type of commercial lime were included in the experimental program. Statistical techniques were used to analyze the effects of lime content, curing temperature, curing time, and soil type on the increase in the unconfined compressive strength of lime-soil mixtures. Suggestions and guidelines for the use of hydrated lime to improve the properties of local soils and nearby paving materials are given in the conclusion. (Author)
