The influence of chloride salts on compressibility behaviour of lime-treated organic clay

Previous studies have shown that the compressibility behaviour of lime-treated organic clay with varying humic acid contents were not effective as time prolonged. Therefore, chloride salts in the amounts of 0.5%, 2.0% and 5.0% were introduced in conjunction with lime-treated organic containing 1.5%...
