Abstract:
The scientific investigations in geotechnical engineering field, up to present, has focused on understanding and predicting the behaviour of soil material using different types of tests. In this thesis, the behaviour of artificially lime added clayey soil is investigated within the framework of critical state theory. Therefore, a series of isotropically consolidated-undrained compression tests have been carried out on lime-stabilized clay by using triaxial testing equipment. Confining pressures were chosen as 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 5.0 kg/cm2. Lime percentages were chosen to be 5%, 10% and 20%. The relationships of ..... and v:lnp' are tabulated and drawn.
