i want to know the advantages and disadvantages of lime soil stabilizing in civil engineering views. is there?

Question

my mean is the behaviour of stabilized soil under dynamic loads and the effect of underground water, relative standards and codes, bearing capacity, excusition methode , ......
thanks

Answer 1

Stabilization occurs when the proper amount of lime is added to a reactive soil. Stabilization differs from modification in that a significant level of long term strength gain is developed through a pozzolanic reaction. This reaction is the formation of calcium silicate hydrates and calcium aluminates as the calcium from the lime reacts with the aluminates and silicates solubilized from the clay mineral surface. This reaction can begin quickly and is responsible for some of the effects of modification. However, the full term pozzolanic reaction can continue for a very long period of time, even many years. As a result, some soils can produce very high strength gains when treated with lime. The key to pozzolanic reactivity and stabilization is a reactive soil and a good mix design protocol. The results of stabilization can be very substantial increases in resilient modulus values, very substantial improvements in shear strength, continued strength gain with time, and long term durability over decades of service.
These performances translate into short and long term benefits.
