GE-25 : effects of GGBS and lime/MgO on the engineering properties of Kaolin by Chua, Serene Jie Lin

“…A series of laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the changes in the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of the modified soil and these tests include unconfined compression test and the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). In all, the influence of the type of stabiliser, binder content, Lime:GGBS ratio and curing period on the UCS of the specimens were addressed in this report. …”
