Is lime stabilized soil short for lime soil?

Answer:

It includes lime soil, lime stabilized gravel soil, lime crushed stone soil and so on. Lime stabilized soil has a certain strength and water resistance. Widely used as a building foundation, ground cushion and road base. Base of lime stabilized materials suitable for all levels of highway, but also can be used as two grade and two grade highway base, but the lime stabilized fine-grained soil and aggregate content of less than 50% pieces (gravel) lime soil can not be used for high-grade pavement base
Lime stabilized soil mixes lime powder or lime powder into various crushed or formerly loose soils. The mixture obtained by mixing, compacting and curing is called lime stabilized soil.
The so-called lime soil is a mixture of slaked lime powder and clay according to a certain proportion, and compacted under certain water content. The amount of lime powder is often 10%~30% of the total weight of lime soil, that is, 19 lime soil, 28 lime soil and 37 lime soil. Because of the complex chemical reaction between alkaline lime powder and silica in clay and three aluminium oxide two, the compacted lime soil has good strength, water resistance and integrity
