Accelerated Mix Design of Lime Stabilized Materials

Abstract

Increasingly it is necessary to search for alternative materials to the construction industry to turn it more sustainable. In this regard, fly ash and carbide lime—residues from production processes—are targets of this study because of their applicability in the stabilization of slopes, base of pavements and manufacture of artifacts for building construction. Therefore, this work aims at the development of method (technique) that enables the prediction of the compressive strength for long curing time periods at standard laboratory curing temperature (23°C) through prediction equivalence with accelerated curing (using temperatures of 40 and 60°C). The porosity/carbide lime (
