Abstract

The article presents a study on sulfate-induced heave in lime-stabilized soils in Great Britain. It mentions water absorption in the ettringite and its effect on the expansion process. It also mentions the drop in the thaumasite's strength behavior as a result of the pozzalonic reactions during curing periods. Furthermore, the authors recommend using water during lime stabilization to reduce heave.
