Evalution of Soil – Lime Treated Clay- Behaviour by Water Suction Measurements

Through the soil stabilization we follow improvement of the physical properties of the soil by adding chemical binding materials. This paper deals with the treatment of soil samples collected from four locations in the south of Syria, that would be used in irrigation canals basement . The binding material used for the soil treatment is quicklime (CaO). After different treatments the soil samples have a different behaviour after addition of Lime in the same percent which reflects their ability to be stabilized.
