Embankment Stabilisation Using Lime and Ash:. An Option for Safer Slopes

https://doi.org/10.11113/mjce.v11.15625Abstract
One of the low-cost techniques of preventing the slope failure is to stabilise the
freshly built slope using lime piles or lime columns. This may involve some extra
costs . on the. project but in the-Iong run maintenance cost may be reduced
significantly. A new technique of constructing a stable embankment is introduced
using .strips of stabilised layers. A combination of laboratory tests on control
specimens and suitable design procedures allow the effectiveness of the stabilised
embankment to be assessed.
