3.3 Results of compaction tests of untreated and treated Barika
CL soil with hydrated lime
The results for the compaction tests performed on the untreated and
treated Barika CL soil samples with hydrated lime were measured via
using the standard proctor compaction method. The addition of lime at
various percentages to the soil samples increases their maximum dry
density and reduces their optimum moisture content for the same
compaction effort as shown in Table 5 and Figure 2. A similar trend of
behavior has also been observed for the case of hydrated lime treated
clay in the study of Ingles and Metcalf (1972).
