TESTING TECHNIQUES FOR EVALUATING THE SHEAR STRENGTH OF LIME/FLY ASH SLURRY STABLIZED SOIL

This investigation was undertaken to develop laboratory testing techniques suitable for evaluating the strength improvement realized by introducing L/FA into a soil mass in the form of seams. To accomplish this goal, six specimen configurations were conceived, and a total of 45 direct shear specimens, including 35 containing vertical and/or horizontal seams of L/FA, were tested. In addition to demonstrating the viability of testing techniques developed, the testing program resulted in a small data base on one soil stabilized with an L/FA slurry having a lime-to-fly ash weight ratio of 1:3.75 and a solids-to-water ratio of 7.6 lb to 1 gal (0.9 kg to 1 L).
