Lime Stabilisation
Lime is an effective additive for plastic soils improving
both workability and strength.
 Stabilisation with lime
can be used to achieve:
-
Modification of material.
-
Reduced plasticity.
-
Improved workability.
-
Strength gain.
-
Improved grading.
-
Reduced sensitivity to moisture.
-
Different Compaction properties.
-
Improved permeability.
Practical applications of this can include:
-
Improvement of
subgrade materials into sub-base materials, or sub-base materials to base
materials.
-
Reduction in required pavement depths.
-
Drying out of wet materials.
-
Providing of suitable work platforms
Lime stabilisation can then therefore be used in:
- Basecourse stabilisation.
Modification of marginal material to bring within specification or
performance requirements.
 Strength increase as an alternative to cementitous
stabilisation utilising the similar properties of cementitious products at
higher addition rates.
- New Construction.
Lime Stabilisation used to enhance volumetric stability for various layers
of select material.
- Fixing the subgrade of existing roads.
See "Getting the Subgrade Fixed"
project report.
- Unsealed Roads.
