Lime Stabilization of Remolded Kanto Loam

Abstract

Kanto Loam is softened by remolding with machines of construction work, therefore its trafficability is decreased considerably. We examine by means of experiment the relation between remolding and recovery of strength gained with the addition of lime. This paper shows that if the addition rate of lime is more than 20% and samples is cured for a long term, the more remolding is done, the more recovery of strength is gained.
