OF A FOUNDATION SOIL CRUST STRENGTHENED BY LIME DIFFUSION ABSTRACT: This paper presents the results of a study of the effects of a lime crust in the foundation soil‚ obtained by lime diffusion‚ on the performance of nonwoven geotextile-reinforced embankments. The study consists of laboratory model tests to simulate failure mechanisms during the construction and lifetime of embankments. A 1/100-scale model of the embankment was constructed. Lime was spread over the foundation soils to increase the

Soil temperature Mineralization of sulfur is severely impeded at 10°C‚ increases with increasing temperatures from 20° to 40‚ and decreases at temperatures >40°C.This temperature effect on sulfur mineralization is consistent with the relatively greater sulfur content of soils formed in northern climates.
