Lime stabilization is an effective method for enhancing the properties of medium, moderately fine, and fine-grained soils by reducing plasticity and increasing strength and workability. The process involves determining the optimal lime content through mechanical tests, pH measurements, and compaction tests. Key test procedures include the Eades and Grim pH test, unconfined compression tests, and California Bearing Ratio tests to evaluate soil stabilization efficacy.
