The combined Influence of Lime and Natural Pozzolana Additives on Enhancement of Clayey Soil Compaction, Consistency characteristics and restriction on soil shrinkage


Abstract in English

Being critical, the stability of clayey soil, is a priority for the civil engineer in constructions of roads and buildings. This experimental study comes in the context of examination of the effectiveness of menial stabilizers. Lime (L), Natural Pozzolana (NP), and Combinations of both, were examined to enhance the characteristics of compaction, consistency and to restrict the shrinkage behavior of clayey soil.
