dc.description.abstractThis dissertation investigates the soil mechanical properties of a sample of Berea Red soil and the most suitable methods of treatment to improve it. Special attention has been paid to lime stabilization and different curing techniques. Gradings, special indicators and California Bearing Ratios were determined on both natural and lime stabilized Berea Red soil. Consolidometer tests were performed on natural and lime or cement stabilized soil at various densities to establish the compressibility and collapse potential. A computer controlled Indirect Tensile Testing with data logging facilities was developed in apparatus order that some of the soil mechanical properties of Berea Red soil may be determined. Natural and stabilized Berea Red soil was tested in a monotonic and cyclic triaxial apparatus to determine the short and long stress strain characteristics.en_ZA
