2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification pertains to quicklime

3、and hydrated lime, either high calcium, dolomitic, or magnesian lime, for use instabilization of soils (See(see Note 2).NOTE 1Quicklime and hydrated lime act upon clay soils and may render such soils suitable for highway construction and for other load-bearingapplications. In most cases, lime causes

4、 finely divided clay particles to agglomerate into coarser particles which improvesimprove load-bearing propertiesand subsequently the lime-treated soil hardens by chemical reaction.NOTE 2No attempt is made to present requirements for by-product lime, commercial lime slurry, etc. and so forth. Speci

5、fication requirements for thesematerials could be better determined on a local basis.1.2 The values stated in inch-poundSI units are to be regarded as standard.

(24.4-mm)25.4-mm (1.0-in.) sieve.4.2.2 Quicklime for soil stabilization shall have a temperature rise of a minimum of 30C in 20 mi

17、n.4.2.3 Residue of QuicklimeQuicklime for soil stabilization shall have not more than 10 % residue.5. Field Applications5.1 When quicklimes arequicklime is used, ensure that thorough mixing of the lime and soil is accomplished and all limepebbles have been hydrated with additional water and distribu

18、ted uniformly throughout the soil. There shall be no lime pebblespresent before the compaction operation starts. Check by turning soil with a spade at representative intervals and inspect for visiblelime pebbles. Care should be exercised on initial dry applications to minimize environmental dusting.

19、5.2 For hydrated limes, additional water shall be added to the lime-soil mixture to facilitate mixing and uniform distribution ofthe hydrated lime in the soil layer. There shall be no lime clumps present before the compaction operation starts. Check by turningsoil with a spade at representative inte

20、rvals and inspect for visible lime clumps. Care should be exercised on initial dry applicationsto minimize environmental dusting.46. Test Method6.1 The chemical analysis of quicklime and hydrated lime shall be conducted in accordance with Test Methods C25.6.2 The particle size of hydrated lime shall

21、 be determined in accordance with the sieve analysis of hydrated lime in TestMethods C110.6.3 The quicklime temperature rise and residue should be determined in accordance with the Slaking Rate of Quicklime in TestMethods C110.6.4 The appendix of this specification contains a non-mandatory test to a

Weigh to the nearest 0.1 g a series of 20-g samples of soil and place in separate150-mL plastic containers with water-tight lids.X1.3 In the case of quicklime, rapidly crush the lime to pass a No. 6 (3.35-mm)3.36-mm

26、 (No. 6) sieve.X1.4 Weigh, to the nearest 0.01 g, a series of quantities of lime equivalent to 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 % of the soil sample.4 Further information on soil stabilization construction technique is available from National Lime Association Bulletin No. 326, 200 N.

28、 water to be used on thejob to each container of soil and lime. Seal with screw-cap lid and mix the three components by shaking the bottles. Shake eachbottle for 30 s every ten min for 1 h.After 1 h, shake vigorously and transfer part of the slurry into a beaker. Measure the pH witha low-sodium erro

29、r glass electrode (previously standardized to pH 12.45 with an agitated calcium hydroxide slurry). Record thepH reading for each mixture.X1.7 If the pH readings are 12.40 or higher, the lowest percentage that gives a pH of 12.40 is the % required to stabilize the soil.If the pH readings do not go be

30、yond pH of 12.30 and two percentages give this reading, the lowest % to give a pH of 12.30 isthe % required to stabilize the soil. If the highest pH reading is a pH of 12.30 and only the highest percentage lime used gives apH of 12.30, additional testing is required using higher percentages of lime.
