This document discusses stabilizing clayey soil through the addition of lime. Clayey soil has low bearing capacity due to low friction between particles. Lime can be added to clayey soil to increase its shear strength through pozzolanic reactions that form calcium silicate and aluminate hydrates. The objectives are to increase shear strength through lime columns and mixing clay with lime, and determine the optimum lime percentage. The methodology involves forming a lime column in a clay bed and testing unconfined compressive strength at different radial distances, and mixing clay with varying lime percentages and testing strength over time. Literature reviews past research finding lime can penetrate up to 4 column diameters but mainly influences within 2 diameters, and that fiber addition increases unconfined

Clayey soil has low Bearing capacity because of low or lack of
friction between the soil particles, so it must be Stabilised to minimise the settlement of the Structure. Cement, Lime, Fly Ash, Fibre are some of the materials that can be mixed with clayey soil at an optimum percentage to stabilise the soil. When lime is added to a reactive soil it produces stable calcium silicate hydrates and calcium aluminate hydrates as the calcium from the lime reacts with the aluminates and silicates solubilized from the clay. The full-term pozzolanic reaction can continue for a very long period of time, even decades -- as long as enough lime is present and the pH remains high (above 10).
OBJECTIVES To increasing shear strength of clay by introducing lime columns and by mixing the clay with different percentage of lime. To predict the effectiveness of lime column and improving shear strength of the clay in radial direction. To determine the optimum percentage of lime required to be mixed with the clay soil for maximum increase in the shear strength.
METHODOLOGY Clay bed compacted to its maximum dry density at OPTIMUM MOISTURE CONTENT(OMC) will be formed in a circular tank. The lime column of diameter D and length 4D will be formed in the clay bed. Unconfined compressive strength of clay sample taken at various radial distance from center of lime column will be determined. The clay soil will be mixed with various percentage of lime. These clay-lime mixture will be compacted to their maximum density at OMC. Unconfined compressive strength of cylindrical specimen taken from these soil-lime mixture will be determined at various time interval of curing. LITERATURE REVIEW Strength distribution of Soft Clay surround Lime Column a paper by Agus Setyo Muntohar, Indonesia and Hung Jiun Liao, Taiwan. Abstract-The research studied the strength distribution surround the installed lime-column in the radial from the centre of column. Result-The increased soil strength is a result of the lime migrates into and reacts with soil. The lime can penetrate into soil up to 4 x D in radial direction, but mainly influenced zone is up to 2 x D. Experimental study on mechanical behaviour of fiber-reinforced clayey sand a paper by Farhad Hassan Beigi, Abbas Qhadimi Bu-Ali Sina University, Department of Civil Engineering, Hamedan, Iran Abstract- The effect of fiber and moisture contents on unconfined compression strength(UCS) were studied and analyzed. Result- The fiber insertion causes an increase in UCS in the clayey sand and increase in Ductility of soil with low moisture content.
Works completed Clay sample has been collected from Thanakankulam Kammai. The field moisture content and specific gravity of the Clay sample has been found. Samples has been oven dried and pulverized to perform experiment to find the Atterberg limits and Optimum Moisture Content of the Clay soil. REFERENCES
