TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of vacuum preloading and lime treatment is proposed to address the issue of clogging around the prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), where a certain percentage of hydrated lime (Ca(OH) 2 ) is added into the dredge fill slurry to enhance the engineering properties of the fill, such as the shear strength and permeability.

TL;DR: In this paper, the internal erosional behaviour of a lignosulfonate-treated dispersive soil has been studied using apparatus designed and built at University of Wollongong.
Abstract: Internal erosional behaviour of a lignosulfonate-treated dispersive soil has been studied using apparatus designed and built at University of Wollongong. The effectiveness of lignosulfonate-treated dispersive clay on its erosion resistance has been investigated and its advantages over traditional admixtures (cement) have been presented. Lignosulfonate is a non-toxic admixture that can stabilise certain erodible and dispersive soils effectively, without causing any adverse environmental impact on the ground unlike some traditional stabilisers. Test results show that the erosional parameters such as critical shear stress and coefficient of soil erosion are improved with the increase in the amount of lignosulfonate. Knowledge about the clay particles and lignosulfonate interaction mechanisms is pertinent for long-term environmental sustainability of treated soils, a factor which is poorly understood at microscopic level. Considering this, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanni...

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of different mixtures in terms of soil stabilization was assessed by performing mechanical tests on samples submitted to several curing conditions (temperature and humidity) and the results showed that the tested compounds are likely to alter the soil stabilization processes and thus lower the mechanical performance of the stabilized soil.

TL;DR: The use of lime to improve the behavior of soft clays is not new. as mentioned in this paper examined lime-induced changes in the compressibility of marine clay and found that a reduction of 1/2 to 1/3 in the soil system within 30 to 45 days of treatment.
