The article presents a study on the influence of exposure conditions on strength and absorption in soil stabilized
with lime and rice husk ash. A soil classified as A-4 and CL, known as Red-Yellow Podzol, a hydrated lime and a
crystal-type burnt rice husk ashes were used throughout the study. The laboratory testing program encomp...
In this paper modification potential of dispersive clay by white natural alum is evaluated. The studied clay is
taken from basin of a constructing dam, called “Mirzakhanloo”, located in Zanjan province, northwest of Iran. Dispersion
potential of soil and its modifiability were evaluated using pinhole, single a...
