Suppression of Sulfate-Induced Expansion with Lime–Silica Fume Blends

Suppression of Sulfate-Induced Expansion with Lime–Silica Fume Blends

Sulfate-induced expansion resulting from the formation of ettringite in sulfate-bearing soil stabilised with calcium-based stabilisers is a problematic issue with technical and economic implications. Thus, this research examines the viability of the co-addition of lime (L) and silica fume (S) at var...
