abstract = "This paper investigates the effect of lime treatment on the shear strength, stiffness and the water retention properties of London Clay. A series of triaxial tests on statically compacted London Clay and lime-treated London Clay specimens were prepared at the same target void ratio and tested under both saturated and unsaturated conditions. The tests concerned isotropic compression and shearing under constant suction using the axis translation technique. In addition to the presented triaxial test results, information on the Soil Water Retention Curve of the lime treated material is also provided. Based on the results, the effects of suction and cementation (brought about by the lime treatment) are evaluated and discussed.",
