Study on the Mechanism of Stabilizing Loess with Lime: Analysis of Mineral and Microstructure Evolution

Figure 3

The relationship between limit-water content of lime-solidified loess and its admixture ratio and curing periods. (a) The relationship between limit-water content and lime admixture ratio (curing for 28d). (b) The relationship between limit-water content and curing period (L15) (S = loess, L = lime, and the following numbers represent the incorporation ratio of quicklime; T = curing time, followed by the number of curing days; LL = liquid limit, PL = plastic limit, and PI = plastic index.).
