Abstract

The paper investigates the effect of hydrated lime on shear strength properties and behaviour of saturated, lime treated, high plasticity clay (London Clay). A number of Unconsolidated Undrained (UU), Consolidated Drained (CD) and Consolidated Undrained (CU) triaxial tests were performed to identify the effect of lime dosage, compaction water content and curing time on the shear strength parameters of the soil. The results are presented both in terms of the Mohr-Coubmb criterion, commonly used by practicing engineers, as well as through a more modern interpretation of the behaviour of cemented soils (in this case the artificially cemented lime-treated soil), in comparison with the critical state parameters of the uncemented (untreated) soil.
