Abstract
Lime modication of clay soils for construction expediency C. D. F. Rogers, BSc, PhD, CEng, MICE, MIHT, S. Glendinning, BSc, PhD, and T. E. J. Roff, BEng, MSc j Lime modication has the potential to reduce greatly the delays to construction projects caused by wet weather. The initial consumption of lime (ICL) test, currently used as an indicator of how much lime to use, is shown to produce results that can be both inconsistent and excessively conservative...
