Sulphate attack and ettringite formation in the lime and cement stabilized marine clays
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the earlier reported case histories of sulphate attack in lime and cement stabilized clays and a list of precautionary measures to be adopted for controlling the ettringite formation have been suggested.

Compressibility behaviour of lime-treated marine clay
G. Rajasekaran,S. Narasimha Rao +1 more
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.

Gypsum/anhydrite: some engineering problems
TL;DR: In this article, the problems of constructing on gypsum/anhydrite and their engineering significance are reviewed and a short case history is provided to illustrate some of the problems encountered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of curing conditions on the unconfined compression strength of lime-treated expansive soils
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of different curing environments on the constrained compressive strength (UCS) of lime-treated expansive clays in arid and semi-arid climates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Susceptibility of strength development by lime in gypsiferous soil—A micro mechanistic study
TL;DR: The role of gypsum on the strength of lime treated soils after a long period of interaction is not well understood yet as discussed by the authors, and the physical and strength behavior of soil-lime-gypsum mixtures were scrutinized.

Carbonate Diagenetic Textures from Nearsurface Diagenetic Environments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the processes and products of carbonate diagenesis, and the distribution of porosity in subsurface carbonates can often be predicted by identifying the environments in which those processes acted.
