1、Designation: D 5102 04Standard Test Methods forUnconfined Compressive Strength of Compacted Soil-LimeMixtures1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 5102; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of l

2、ast revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for preparing, cur-ing, and testing laboratory-compacted specimens of soil-limeand

3、 other lime-treated materials (Note 1) for determiningunconfined compressive strength. This test method can be usedfor specimens prepared at the maximum unit weight andoptimum water content, or for specimens prepared at othertarget unit weight and water content levels. Other applicationsare given in

4、 Section 5 on Significance and Use.NOTE 1Lime-based products other than commercial quicklime andhydrated lime are also used in the lime treatment of fine-grained cohesivesoils. Lime kiln dust (LKD) is collected from the kiln exhaust gases bycyclone, electrostatic, or baghouse-type collection systems

5、. Some limeproducers hydrate various blends of LKD plus quicklime to produce alime-based product.1.2 Cored specimens of soil-lime should be tested in accor-dance with Test Methods D 2166.1.3 Two alternative procedures are provided:1.3.1 Procedure A describes procedures for preparing andtesting compa

6、cted soil-lime specimens having height-to-diameter ratios between 2.00 and 2.50. This test methodprovides the standard measure of compressive strength.1.3.2 Procedure B describes procedures for preparing andtesting compacted soil-lime specimens using Test MethodsD 698 compaction equipment and molds

7、commonly availablein most soil testing laboratories. Procedure B is considered toprovide relative measures of individual specimens in a suite oftest specimens rather than standard compressive strengthvalues. Because of the lesser height-to-diameter ratio (1.15) ofthe cylinders, compressive strength

8、determined by Procedure Bwill normally be greater than that by Procedure A.1.3.3 Results of unconfined compressive strength tests usingProcedure B should not be directly compared to those obtainedusing Procedure A.1.4 All observed and calculated values shall conform to theguidelines for significant

9、digits and rounding established inPractice D 6026.1.4.1 The method used to specify how data are collected,calculated, or recorded in this standard is not directly related tothe accuracy to which the data can be applied in design or otheruses, or both. How one applies the results obtained using thiss

10、tandard is beyond its scope.1.5 Lime is not an effective stabilizing agent for all soils.Some soil components such as sulfates, phosphates, organics,etc. can adversely affect soil-lime reactions and may affect thetest results using this method.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound u

11、nitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.6.1 The gravitational system of inch-poun

12、d units is usedwhen dealing with inch-pound units. In this system, the pound(lbf) represents a unit of force (weight), while the unit for massis slugs. The rationalized slug unit is not given, unless dynamic(F = ma) calculations are involved.1.6.2 It is common practice in the engineering/constructio

13、nprofession to concurrently use pounds to represent both a unitof mass (lbm) and of force (lbf). This implicitly combines twoseparate systems of units; that is, the absolute system and thegravitational system. It is scientifically undesirable to combinethe use of two separate sets of inch-pound unit

14、s within a singlestandard. As stated, this standard includes the gravitationalsystem of inch-pound units and does not use/present the slugunit for mass. However, the use of balances or scales recordingpounds of mass (lbm) or recording density in lbm/ft3shall notbe regarded as non-conformance with th

15、is standard.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory requirements prior to use. F

22、Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 lime contentthe ratio, expressed as a percentage, of(a) the dry (as received/packaged) mass of lime to (b) the drymass of soil.3.2.2 unconfined compressive strength of soil-lime (q)thecompressive stress at which an unconfined cylindrical speci-men of soil-lime will fa

23、il in an axial compression test. In thistest method, unconfined compressive strength is either themaximum axial load/force attained per unit area or the load/force per unit area at 5 % axial strain, whichever occurs firstduring performance of a test.3.2.3 carbonationpartial or complete destruction o

24、f mag-nesium hydroxide or soil-lime reaction products or all of themdue to reaction with carbon dioxide.

25、ee Section 7 on Reagents and Materials.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Dependent on design criteria, a predetermined numberof compacted soil-lime specimens are prepared for eachspecified lime content, unit weight, and water content sounconfined compression testing can be performed on labora-tory cured

26、specimens of specified ages. In many instances,single or preferably duplicate specimens are tested following a28 and 90-day curing period at room temperature. In somecases, however, a curing period of 7 days at room temperatureor accelerated curing conditions may be necessary.4.2 The amount of soil,

27、 lime, and water required for thespecimen is determined. The soil-lime-water mixture is com-pacted in a mold to the desired initial specimen conditions(moist/dry unit weight and molding water content).4.3 After removal from the mold, specimens are cured for aspecified number of days.4.4 Following th

28、e curing period, the soil-lime specimens areloaded in compression to failure. Maximum load or load at 5 %axial strain is used to calculate unconfined compressivestrength.5. Significance and Use5.1 Compression testing of soil-lime specimens is per-formed to determine unconfined compressive strength o

29、f thecured soil-lime-water mixture to determine the suitability ofthe mixture for uses such as in pavement bases and subbases,stabilized subgrades, and structural fills.5.2 Compressive strength data are used in soil-lime mixdesign procedures: (a) to determine if a soil will achieve asignificant stre

30、ngth increase with the addition of lime; (b)togroup soil-lime mixtures into strength classes; (c) to study theeffects of variables such as lime percentage, unit weight, watercontent, curing time, curing temperature, etc.; and (d)toestimate other engineering properties of soil-lime mixtures.5.3 Lime

31、is generally classified as calcitic or dolomitic.Usually in soil stabilization, high-calcium hydrated limeCa(OH)2 or monohydrated dolomitic lime Ca(OH)2+ MgOare used. Lime may increase the strength of cohesive soil. Thetype of lime in combination with soil type influences theresulting compressive st

Not withstanding statements on preci-sion and bias contained in this method: The precision of this test methodis dependent on the competence of the personnel performing it and thesuitability of th

Users of this test method are cautioned thatcompliance with Practice D 3740 does not, in itself, ensure reliabletesting. Reliable testing depends on ma

Reagents and Materials7.1 Hydrated LimeLime that is predominantly ca

48、lciumhydroxide Ca(OH)2 or a mixture of Ca(OH)2and magnesiumoxide (MgO) or magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2, or both.Only fresh lime meeting the requirements of SpecificationC 977 may be used.

49、h is predominantly calcium ox-ide (CaO) or CaO in association with MgO. Only fresh limemeeting the requirements of Specification C 977 may be used.Bagged lime must be kept sealed because of the tendency forthe lime to combine with CO2in air.7.3 TapwaterTapwater that is free of acids, alkalies, andoils and is suitable for drinking shall be used for wetting thesoil.8. Safety Hazards8.1 Lime chemically reacts with water and can become hot.Appropriate safety equipment, such as gloves, protectiveeyewear, respirator, and plastic apron should be worn whenhandling lime.
