TLDR
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.About:

Soil Stabilization as an Avenue for Reuse of Solid Wastes: A Review
Jijo James,P. Kasinatha Pandian +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed industrial wastes that have been used in soil stabilization as a standalone stabilizer without lime or cement, in order to shed light into the prospects of increased utilization of solid wastes in soil stabilisation.

Effects of aggregate size on the compressibility and air permeability of lime-treated fine-grained soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the aggregate size effects on the compressibility and air permeability of a lime-treated soil by performing oedometer compression tests on a silt with two different maximum aggregate sizes (Dmax = 5 and 0.4 mm) and treated with 2% quicklime.

Interpretation of Compression Behavior of Structured and Remolded Marine Soils
TL;DR: Although extensive research has been conducted on the strength and stiffness of stabilised soils, fewer attempts have been made on the compression behavior of artificially structured and re-stabilised soils as discussed by the authors...

On the compressibility and shear strength of natural clays
TL;DR: In this article, a new normalizing parameter called the void index is introduced to aid in correlating the compression characteristics of various clays, such as sedimentation compression curves for most, but not all, natural clays lie well above the corresponding intrinsic compression curves.

Physico-Chemical Analysis of the Compressibility of Pure Clays
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison between the compression curves as observed and as calculated from theoretical considerations indicates that in the case of suspensions of pure clays the compressibility can be accounted for quantitatively by the consideration of these long-range forces only.

Lime-Induced Heave in Sulfate-Bearing Clay Soils
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found abundant thaumasite, a complex calcium-silicate-hydroxide-sulfate-carbonate-hyd rate mineral, forming a solid solution series with ettringite.

Practical problems from surprising soil behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the aging of quick clay after sampling, the remolded strength increases in samples maintained at constant water content, time effects in freshly densified or deposited sand, in which natural sand deposits can lose strength if disturbed but regain strength over time periods of weeks to months, and apparently sound lime-stabilized soil that swells and disintegrates starting a few years after construction.

Laboratory investigations on the lime stabilization of sensitive clays: shear strength development
TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory investigation on the quicklime stabilization of sensitive clays has shown that significant strength increase can be obtained if enough water content above the liquid limit is added to the clays.
