Indirect Tensile Strength Of Clayey Soils Treated With Cement Or Lime, Melissa Adams Cowley
Indirect Tensile Strength Of Clayey Soils Treated With Cement Or Lime, Melissa Adams Cowley
Theses and Dissertations
The objectives of this research were to evaluate the sensitivity of indirect tensile strength (ITS) test results to stabilizer type, stabilizer concentration, and curing time for multiple clayey soils with varying plasticity indices (PIs), identify cases in which an ITS of 30 psi can be obtained, and create a general linear model that predicts ITS. The scope of work included laboratory testing of three clayey soils sampled from Monticello, Utah; Bloomington, Indiana; and San Antonio, Texas. Each soil was tested using two stabilizers, cement or lime, at three concentrations, and two replicate samples were prepared for each combination. ITS testing …
Strength And Durability Of Plastic Clays Treated With Cement Or Lime, Tyler D. Mickelson
Strength And Durability Of Plastic Clays Treated With Cement Or Lime, Tyler D. Mickelson
Theses and Dissertations
The objective of this research was to compare the efficacy of portland cement to that of lime for improving the strength and durability of plastic clays. The scope of work associated with this research involved laboratory strength and durability testing of three plastic clays treated with portland cement or lime. To ensure a broad application of the work, the clays were obtained from three different regions of the United States, specifically from project sites near Bloomington, Indiana; San Antonio, Texas; and Monticello, Utah. Laboratory testing included evaluation of selected properties of the three clays in the untreated condition and in …
