Stabilization Expansive Clayey with Nano-Lime to Reduce Environmental Impact

For years, geotechnical engineers have been concerned about expansive soils. Expansive soils are characterized by large volumetric changes related to variations in moisture content. Variations soil water content may take place naturally during seasonal or maybe manmade caused dewatering activities. The quantity of shrinkage and swell is influenced numerous parameters, including the minerals clay soil, content, dry density, climate change. In most countries, structures, pavements buildings, damaged as a result this shrinkage/swelling. Several ground improvement techniques available for stabilizing modify its engineering performance. These methods include replacement, mixing with chemical additives, reinforcement. present study expressions effect nano-lime (i.e., 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, 2.0 3.0%), lime (1, 3, 5, 8, 10%), additive improve clayey illite kaolinite). were investigated using Atterberg’s limits tests. Atterberg screening significant proportion additional lime. results show that less amount (1% 2% kaolinite respectively) decreased plastic limit, while it was reported 8% 5% respectively. conclusion, (1-2%) able parameters.
