Abstract

Cementitious materials produced by the reaction of lime with clay mineral are able to strengthen contaminated clay and modify the hydraulic conductivity. In this study SEM technique was carried out to study and changes in strength and permeability due to the reactions between lime and contaminated kaolin. The study performed on heavy metal contaminated kaolin showed that the production of cementitious materials continued with time. A vane shear device was utilized to determine the strength of the lime treated soil where it was learnt that strength increased with time. Leaching tests were also carried out to study the changes in hydraulic conductivity with respect to the volume of leachant passed through the stabilized soil.
