Abstract

The paper studies the mechanical behaviour of lime treated London Clay based on suction-controlled triaxial testing. The experimental results showed that lime reduced the compressibility and considerably improved the shear strength of the soil (despite the observed strain softening behaviour at large strains). The results are represented graphically using different stress state variable expressions and three different failure criteria. The three failure criteria are subsequently evaluated based on the quality of the fitting of the results.
