Lime stabilisation has been shown to improve the engineering properties of clayey soils. An attempt was made to study the effect of organic matter (starch and peat) on the shear strength of lime-stabilised clayey soils subjected to longer curing periods (up to 180 days). Most studies have reported the strength behaviour of lime-stabilised organic soils up to 60 days. Vane shear tests were carried out on artificially prepared organic soil mixtures treated with 6% lime after different curing periods (0, 7, 30, 60, 90 and 180 days). The results indicate that the improving effect of lime is deteriorated in the presence of organic matter as the curing period increases. It was observed that, for lime-stabilised clayey soils containing organic matter, the strength seemed to increase up to 30 days, after which it ceased. The strength reduction in lime-stabilised clayey soils containing organic matter depended on the pH and functional groups present in the soil. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of cured samples was also carried out to examine the microstructural changes responsible for the strength change in lime-stabilised clayey soils.","PeriodicalId":51705,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers-Ground Improvement","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2021-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87807062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
