TLDR
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.
Abstract
A laboratory investigation on the quicklime stabilization of sensitive clays has shown that, even at a water content above the liquid limit, significant strength increase can be obtained if enough ...

Physicochemical and engineering behavior of cement treated clays

TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between the microstructure and engineering properties of cement-treated marine clay was examined using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, pH measurement, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and laser diffractometric measurement of the particle size distribution.

Analysis of strength development in cement-stabilized silty clay from microstructural considerations

TL;DR: In this paper, the strength development in cement-stabilized silty clay is analyzed based on microstructural considerations, which includes water content, curing time, and cement content.

Effect of polypropylene fibre and lime admixture on engineering properties of clayey soil

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the mixture of polypropylene fiber and lime on the engineering properties of a clay-ey soil was investigated and analyzed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis of the specimens after shearing.

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.
