Analysis of the chemical and microstructural modifications effects on the hydro-mechanical behaviour of a lime-treated clay
2019
The paper presents the results of a characterization of kinetic characteristics of pozzolanic reaction with the aim to investigate the time-dependent modification of clay properties as a consequence of mixing with lime. Results of chemical analyses are in agreement with the increase of mechanical properties and with the observed microstructure modifications up to one year of curing time. The rate of development of pozzolanic reactions seems to be almost constant while the time required for their completion is dependent on the lime content. Pozzolanic products are responsible for the time reduction of swelling strain upon saturation as well as for the increases of yielding stress, stiffness …
Criteria for Laboratory Studies on Fine Soils Treated with Lime
2011
When selecting the appropriate materials for constructing road infrastructures, an important way for minimizing both the economical and environmental impact is to make use of lime for treating those natural soils that, involved in the earthwork for opening road fences, are not suitable, as they are in nature, to fulfill the specific requirements for being used as part of road construction, such as road embankments (including the capping layer) or the improved subgrade or, again, the sub-formation. From this point of view, the treatment of fine soils with lime (if needed, with lime and cement) can be considered as one of the main measures for preserving the natural environment since it fulfi…
Prova di campo per i lavori di trattamento delle terre argillose con calce per lavori stradali e ferroviari [Field test of lime treatment of clayey s…
2014
Si presentano i risultati di una prova di campo svolta su un rilevato sperimentale appositamente progettato e costruito per le finalità del trattamento con calce delle terre argillose. Tale prova di campo è stata sviluppata nell’ambito dei lavori di ammodernamento di una infrastruttura di grande comunicazione in Sicilia, per consentire il reimpiego delle argille di risulta dagli scavi previsti in progetti nella costruzione delle parti in rilevato della stessa. Il programma sperimentale messo a punto si è pertanto concentrato sull’identificazione e la caratterizzazione geotecnica delle argille di scavo al fine di definire le modalità esecutive del loro trattamento con calce. Attraverso le pr…
