Penetration method to inspect the lime-soil cushion

Effect of Lime Stabilized Soil Cushion on Strength

 · An experimental investigation was undertaken to study the effects of lime-stabilized soil-cushion on the strength behavior of expansive soil. In the present investigation a series of laboratory tests (Unconfined compression tests and CBR tests) were conducted on both expansive soil alone and expansive soil cushioned with lime-stabilized non-expansive cohesive soil.

About Deep Soil MixingSoil Stabilisation ground

THE DEEP SOIL MIXING TECHNIQUE. Deep soil mixing is an in situ ground improvement technique that enhances the characteristics of weak soils by mechanically mixing them with a cementitious binder. The action of mixing materials such as cement fly ash lime or bentonite with soil causes the properties of the soil to become more like soft rock.

 · Chemical stabilization is a soil improvement method that increases the load bearing capability by mixing the soil with powders slurry or chemicals. Stability is developed in a number of ways for example the admixtures can fill soil voids bond together individual grains change the permeability of the soil (Gedney and Weber 1978).

Soil Mix WallsConstruction Methods. Mechanical soil mixing is performed using single or multiple shafts of augers and mixing paddles. The auger is slowly rotated into the ground typically at 10-20 rpm and advanced at 2 to 5 ft (0.5 to 1.5 m) per minute. Cement slurry is pumped through the hollow stem of the shaft (s) feeding out at the tip

 · The load penetration curves of lime proportion 4 6 and 10 are almost merged. The gap between the loadpenetration curve of untreated soil and the curves related to lime proportion of 4 6 and 10 is large. This indicates that as the lime increases the mixture is offering resistance against the penetration under a given load.

 · The treatment method for the office building foundation was a 500 mm thick lime-soil cushion. Since 1980 three foundation settlement accidents occurred in different parts of this loess deposit and the CO 2-silicification method was successfully used to reinforce those foundations. The reinforcement depth was 5.50–6.00 m and the normal use
