dc.description.abstractA comprehensive experimental program including two distinct series of consolidation tests was performed on clay specimens prepared at different dry weight proportions including 0%, 1%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% polypropylene fiber or lime by weight mixed with clayey soil. Fiber inclusion into clay resulted in enhancement of compressive strength characteristics, improvement of hydraulic properties that is an advantage for modification of stability and durability properties of clayey soil under loads. Similarly, the higher hydraulic conductivity of clay resulted that will shorthen duration of consolidation settlement, hence, eventually influence completion of plastic consolidation deformation favorably for soft clays. Lime-treatment on clay specimens showed that the compressibility properties are improved such that the strength of clay against loading enhances, exhibits less consolidation deformation under load owing to increase in lime content. On the other hand, clay becomes highly impermeable, displays substantially larger water-resistant properties because of increased lime mass proportion (i.e. time-extension) in clayey soil that results in prolongation of expulsion of excess porewater pressure from clay due to load application, relevant induced stresses. Fiber-inclusion resulted in exhibiting logarithmic decrement with a mild rate of decline while lime-treatment led to exponential reduction with a sharp rate of drop for compression index (Cc), compressibility coefficient (?v), volume compressibility coefficient (mv). Further, fiber-inclusion stimulated exponential and quadratical increment whereas lime-treatment induced exponential decrement for coefficient of consolidation (cv), hydraulic conductivity (k), respectively. As a result, the Cc, ?v, mv enhanced on the order of within 10 at average of 80% to 90% with a minimum of 70% by value for both fiber-reinforcement and lime-stabilization soil-stabilization techniques. The cv, k improved on the order of within 10 at average of 75% to 85% by value for fiber-reinforcement whereas dis-improved on the order of within 10 at average of 70% to 80% by value for lime-stabilization.
