This study investigates the effects of mucilage from Opuntia ficus-indica cladode (MOFIC), a bio-modifier, on Lime-stabilized Lateritic soil's durability and index features. Specifically, this research assessed alterations to Atterberg limits, compaction characteristics, California bearing ratio (CBR), values unconfined compressive strength (UCS) properties soil samples stabilised through labor...

INTRODUCTION Excessive soil acidity is known to have potential negative impacts on crop production. The chemical and physical characteristics of a liming material determine its capacity to neutralize soil acidity. The calcium carbonate (CaCO3) equivalent (CCE) and estimates of particle size impact on the efficiency at increase soil pH are considered when assessing a material’s liming value. The...

Long-term improvement in behaviour of soil subjected to lime treatment depends on the mechanism its implementation. In-situ lime-treated fine-grained is often ‘kneading action’ developed by Pad-foot roller. The underlying effect kneading remains less investigated. Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and microstructural modification compaction are evaluated. Kneading action undergoes better li...

Abstract In this study, the stabilization process is introduced to a clayey expansive soil collected in southern Sweden. The tests examined strength parameters of stabilized by different binders using combination both traditional (cement and lime) alternative materials (slag Merit 5000, fly ash from SCA Lilla Edet coal combustion, ISO certified). practical goal was find binder mixture that opti...

Calcium hydroxide was petitioned for use as a soil amendment to supply calcium for crops. Calcium hydroxide (also known as hydrated lime) is produced from the slow addition of water to crushed or ground quicklime (calcium oxide), which is produced by burning various forms of limestone. It may also be produced as a by-product of industrial processes such as from the generation of acetylene from ...
