Addition of CaO (Quicklime) into the soil
Used to improve the subgrade stiffness
Has been used since 1950s
Effective on clay soil

Quicklime will reacts with water (either fromthe clay water content of added separately) toform Ca(OH)2
The Ca(OH)2 will increase the PH, which willpromote the creation of calcium silicates andaluminates .
Ca(OH)2 will also reduce the water content ofthe soil through heat generation and chemicalreaction

Aim: To determine the soil suitability with limestabilization, to determine the amount of limerequired and evaluating its capability for long-termweathering and loading.
4 Steps:
Soil Evaluation
Determine approximate lime demand
After treatment optimum water content and drydensity check
Do unconfined compression test.

Generally, soil with at least 25% passing a 75micron screen and having a PI of 10 or greaterare candidates for lime stabilization.
Soil with organics content above 1-2% byweight may not be compatible with thisstabilization method

Eades-Grim PH Test (ASTM D6276) is performed
Criteria: The lowest percentage of lime in soil that
produces a laboratory pH of 12.4 at section of thepH vs. lime percentage curve produced by thetest] is the minimum lime percentage forstabilizing the soil.

Make a mixture of soil, lime, and water at theminimum percentage of lime as determinedfrom Step 2 (Eades-Grim test), using a water
content of OMC + 2-3%. Determine the OMCand MDD of the mixture using ASTM D 698procedures

Prepare samples with water content 1% of theOMC.
Wrap the specimens in plastic wrap and seal in
an airtight, moisture proof bag. Cure the specimens for 7 days at 40C.
Subject the specimens to a 24 hour capillary
soak prior to testing. Do the UCT

Scarify Subgrade
Spread hydrated lime / lime slurry / quicklime
Add water (for Quicklime and hydrated lime)
Mix the soil and the lime to a specified depth
Compact!
Maintain (water addition & compaction)
