Behaviour and mineralogy changes in lime-treated expansive soil at 20 °C
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were conducted on a highly expansive clay soil treated with lime in order to study the lime-soil reaction over a short term and the progression of the pozzolanic reaction over longer term.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructure and geotechnical properties of lime-treated expansive clayey soil
TL;DR: In this article, the changes in the main geotechnical properties associated with the micro level texture and structure of untreated and lime-treated compacted FoCa clay samples were studied using X-Ray Diffraction, Thermogravimetric Analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission EM (TEM) methods.

TL;DR: In this paper, the long-term stability characteristics of FoCa bentonite soil (FoCa represents the first two letters of the two towns between which this type of soil is excavated: Fourgues and Cahaignes) using 4% lime treatment were examined taking into account the influence of wetting-drying and freezing-thawing cycles on key engineering properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of wetting–drying cycles on the microstructure and mechanical properties of lime-stabilized gypseous soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of wetting-drying cycles on the mechanical behavior of fine-grained soil with different gypsum contents (0, 5, 15 and 25%) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization, water transfer properties and deterioration in tuffeau: building material in the Loire valley—France
TL;DR: In this article, a highly porous limestone called tuffeau used in the Loire castles in France is characterized and several techniques for pore space investigation and anisotropy determination are presented and their range of application is discussed.
