Effects of Aging on the Dry Shrinkage Cracking of Lime Soils with Different Proportions
Source abstract
Abstract
In this study, the reasonable aging time of lime soils with different ratios was determined to investigate the effect of aging on the internal mechanism of the dry shrinkage cracking of lime soil. To this end, the effects of aging time, lime content, and particle size on the volume crack rate, expansion and shrinkage rate, particle size distribution, and pH were analyzed using a dry–wet cycle, screening, and pH tests. In addition, the changes in the particle structure of the samples and the formation of new substances were analyzed. The results revealed that the volume crack and expansion shrinkage rates of the sample initially decreased, and then stabilized with increasing aging time. In addition, the aging time of the sample increased with increasing lime content and particle size. Further, at the initial aging stage, the volume crack and expansion/shrinkage rates of the sample increased with increasing lime content and particle size. With an increase in the aging time, the pH increased and then decreased significantly to 0.57–1.1% at the reasonable aging time. These indicate that the pH exhibited a significant effect on the reasonable aging time, and this will provide useful insights for the restoration of lime soil sites.
