Earthworks - Geotechnical laboratory tests - Lime and/or hydraulic binder treated materials - Test for determining the treatment ability of a soil
Abstract
This document specifies a test method to determine the suitability of a soil to be treated with lime and/or hydraulic binders, with regard to volumetric swelling and mechanical strength, within a period not exceeding two to three weeks. This test can be integrated into the general method of a study of treatment of materials with lime and/or a hydraulic binder, in compliance with standard NF EN 16907-4. It is applicable to soils and alternative (or anthropogenic) materials treated with lime and/or hydraulic binders for the construction of embankments and capping layers; in the areas of roads, railways and airports; industrial or commercial platforms; hydraulic works and road foundations. The results of this test: − are only valid for the configuration tested (soil, treatment product, dosage); − are in no case usable for dimensioning a structure including treated materials. The values currently accepted to define treatment suitability are indicated for information in Annex A.
