Effect of lime on volume instability of expansive soil
Expansive soil poses many problems and can cause far more damages to the infrastructures as compared to natural disasters. Thus it is crucial to investigate possible ways to reduce the damages. In this study, the focus will be on using lime as an additive to reduce the swelling of bentonite. This st...
