Effect Of Lime On Clay Soil. Lime is a natural rock which can be used as an effective soil stabilizer to improve workability and load bearing capacity of soil. The increase in nitrification can be explained by high microbial activity following lime application attributed to an increase in soil pH 2 3 4 14. In spite of the abovementioned works knowledge on the combined effects of curing time lime content. In the current study the effects of two types of additive for the soil ie.
The results obtained show that both the lime hydration and the modification process could be the reason for the increase of hydraulic conductivity in lime-treated soil and the second one seems to be the main reason. The hydrated lime produced by these reactions will subsequently react with clay particles. Lime as an additive acquires various important changes the designing properties of soil. Tebaldi et al. This composition of lime and soil. Lime to expansive soils reduces swell potential and increases workability and strength.
Increase in the soil pH.
In investigation 4 lime was found to be the optimum percentage for soil stabilization which improves the settlement behavior of the soil. Due to the lime hydration. The results obtained show that both the lime hydration and the modification process could be the reason for the increase of hydraulic conductivity in lime-treated soil and the second one seems to be the main reason. These materials are amazingly utilized in development work from quite a while. Many soils have naturally occurring lime – especially if they are highly alkaline – but those that dont benefit from adding lime. In investigation 4 lime was found to be the optimum percentage for soil stabilization which improves the settlement behavior of the soil.
