Effect of lime on volume instability of expansive soil
Expansive soil poses many problems and can cause far more damages to the infrastructures as compared to natural disasters. Thus it is crucial to investigate possible ways to reduce the damages. In this study, the focus will be on using lime as an additive to reduce the swelling of bentonite. This st...

| Summary: | Expansive soil poses many problems and can cause far more damages to the infrastructures as compared to natural disasters. Thus it is crucial to investigate possible ways to reduce the damages. In this study, the focus will be on using lime as an additive to reduce the swelling of bentonite. This study will be investigating two parameters, the effect of percentage of lime by weight of dry soil as well as the effect of curing time on the volumetric change and swelling pressure of bentonite. |
