| Abstract | Basic prope1ties and strength characteristics of chemically treated soft clay were investigated using unconfined compression tests. The clay used in this study was obtained from the test site located at the Bang na- Bangpakong highway on the 22nd km from a depth of 5-7m. The tests were carried out on lime, lime+cement (1:1) and cement clays after 3,7,14,28 and 56 days of curing period. The unconfined compression tests were carried out on samples containing 125,150,200 and 250 kg per m3 of wet clay. The unconfined compressive strength of lime/cement treated clay was found to increase with additive content and curing time. Increase of strength in cement treated clay was higher than the lime treated clay. Failure strain reduces as the additive content and curing time increases. Elastic modulus increases with additive content and curing time. Basic prope1ties of treated clay were also determined at different curing times. Plastic limit increased with lime/cement content. Water content reduced with increasing additive content and curing time. Lime/cement causes significant reduction in specific gravity and this reduction increases with increasing additive content and curing time. Organic matter increases with increasing cement content for cement treated clay and reduces with increasing lime content for lime treated clay. Stability analysis shows that the factor of safety can be improved significantly by lime/cement treatment |
