A Study of Reaction Products in Soft Clay- Lime Mixture
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
The deep deposits of highly compressible marine soils cover vast areas along the coastal belt of the Indian peninsula. These are very soft and contain large amount of shells. They possess low shear strength and high compressibility thereby causing larger settlements when structures are constructed in these soft soils. Many attempts were made in the past to improve the engineering properties of marine soil but still it is difficult to stabilize these soils. A laboratory investigation has been carried out by mixing the hydrated lime with soft marine clay at different proportions of 2%, 5% and 7% by weight of marine clay in the presence of sea water and distilled water separately. The mineralogical variations with XRD and fabric studies of marine clay are presented at curing periods of 10 and 40 days. The new minerals and reactive products formed by treating the soil with lime have been identified using XRD studies. A use of the SEM shows the increase in particle size and formation of flocculated structure in presence of sea water as well as distilled water.
