Aggregate size effect on the water retention properties of a lime-treated compacted silt during curing

The main drying paths of the water retention curves of lime-treated soils were measured. Aggregate size effect on the water retention property was emphasised. Four soil powders with different maximum aggregate sizes (Dmax = 5, 2, 1 and 0.4 mm) were prepared and mixed with 2% quicklime (by weight of...
