Abstract

The paper studies the drying and wetting soil water retention curves (SWRC) and the corresponding volume change of a limetreated high plasticity clay based on tests using the contact filter paper method, pressure plate apparatus and a suction-controlled triaxial system, incorporating the axis translation technique. The effects of the following factors are examined: compaction water content and dry density, lime dosagg, curing conditions, confinement and the different testing conditions imposed by the different experimental techniques. The results for the lime treated soil are consistent with findings for untreated soils. Some differences concern predominantly the strain related quantities (the void ratio) due to the increased stifness and the open structure of the treated soil.
