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:

Geotechnical and micro-structural behaviour of chemically stabilized tropical residual soil
TL;DR: In this paper, the stabilization mechanism and performance of tropical residual (laterite) soil mixed with two types of non-traditional stabilizer; namely the calcium based powder stabilizer (SH-85) and sodium silicate based liquid stabilizer(TX-85), were evaluated using series of physical model tests.

Impact of monotonic and cyclic suction variations on the thermal properties of a stabilized compacted silty soil
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of changes in suction (soil water content) on the thermo-mechanical properties was investigated on lime-treated and lime-hydraulic binder treated silty soils in the laboratory.

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.
