This document provides a review of the effect of lime on improving soil properties through soil stabilization techniques. It discusses how lime stabilization works by drying the soil, modifying clay particles, and creating cementitious compounds that strengthen the soil. The main mechanisms of lime stabilization are flocculation and agglomeration of clay particles, as well as pozzolanic reactions that form calcium silicate hydrates and calcium aluminate hydrates. Common lime stabilization techniques discussed are direct mixing of lime into the soil and ion migration around lime piles or columns to improve the surrounding soil properties. Several studies investigating the effects of lime stabilization on engineering properties such as strength, permeability, and compressibility are also summarized.
