| Summary: | a field test method is developed to locate sulfate bearing conductivity is then related to sulfate content in soils. different sulfate contents. A model that relates the amount economical as well as structural problems. In this research, electrical conductivity of the insitu soil. The electrical Expansion tests were performed to determine the amount of expansion that occurs when lime is added to soils with for sulfate bearing soils. investigated and proposed as alternative form of stabilizer mineral. This expansion causes a considerable amount of most common methods of soil stabilization. However, when of expansion of clay soils to electrical conductivity, is proposed. The use of low calcium lime stabilizers are reacts with the sulfates to form ettringite, an expandable soils. A permittivity probe is used to measure the sulfates are present in the soil, the calcium in the lime The addition of hydrated lime to clay soils is one of the |
