The durability of the mechanical improvements brought by lime once the involved earth structures are exposed to long-term hydraulic conditions (long-term water contact and water circulation) is still under discussion. This paper aims at assessing i) the impact of such hydraulic conditions on the mechanical shear strength of a lime-treated silty soil, and ii) the effect of initial conditions (lime...
The dimensioning of geotechnical earth structures is, due to the use of new technologies and new materials, more and more sophisticated. It is particularly the case for the embankments reinforced by piles and geosynthetics. Two main mechanisms are governing the behaviour of this kind of structures: an arching effect (or transfer of load) into the soil embankment and the membrane effect of the geosynthetics...
