Abstract
A laboratory study was undertaken to evaluate the indirect tensile characteristics of soil specimens stabilized with lime and fly ash. Cylindrical specimens were compacted and cured for 28 days in a moist room maintained at constant temperature and controlled humidity. After curing specimens were tested for indirect tensile strength and resilient modulus (Mrt) under indirect tension mode. These properties were compared with those of the control soil specimens (raw clay) to determine the extent of enhancement. Results indicate increase in indirect tensile strength and Mrt values for stabilized specimens. However, the degree of improvement varies and depends on type of soil and additive.
