| Abstract | Laboratory tests on lime and lime-rice husk ash stabilised clay from the Muar Flood Plain, Malaysia were carried out to study its improved properties and characteristics. Two types of· strength tests i. e unconfined compression and isotropically consolidated undrained triaxial compression tests were performed. Consolidation tests were carried out to study the compressibility data for settlement analysis. Lime content of 3% and 7% have been used throughout the study, while lime- ash treated samples were in the ratio of 1% lime to 4% ash. Treated samples have been found to show improvement in basic properties, strength and compressibility. Results showed that the response to lime and lime-ash stabiliation could be considered feasible . There are indications that factors affecting soil-lime and soil-lime ash stabilisation are similar, all these stabilised systems appear to behave in a likely manner in modifying the physico-chemical characteristics and increment in strength of clayey soil. Longer curing period was found to be beneficial to strength development of lime and .lime- rice husk ash stabilized soil. |
