Lime stabilization is a soil treatment process that involves mixing lime (calcium oxide or calcium hydroxide) into the soil to improve its stability, strength, and workability. This technique is commonly used in construction and landscaping to prepare subgrades for roads, foundations, and other structures. Lime stabilization works by altering the chemical properties of clay soils, reducing their plasticity and increasing their load-bearing capacity. This process is particularly effective in areas with expansive or weak soils that are prone to swelling, shrinking, or erosion. Lime stabilization helps to create a more stable, durable foundation that can support heavy loads and resist environmental stresses.
