This paper presents the preliminary results of an experimental research into the stabilization with lime and/or cement of clayey sediments dredged from the Port of Taranto (Italy). The testing program is still on-going as part of a cooperation with the Port Authority of Taranto. The aim of the research is to study the effect of artificial stabilization on physical properties and behavior of the soil in order to choose the best option for re-use. In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of the natural sediments are briefly described and their plasticity properties are compared with those of the treated clays. For each stabilizing agent, the effect of treatment is analyzed and the experimental data interpreted by means of a general plasticity model. The model was developed to provide a method for evaluating the effect on clay plasticity of the treatment with a given additive after a given curing time.

Abstract
This paper presents the preliminary results of an experimental research into the stabilization with lime and/or cement of clayey sediments dredged from the Port of Taranto (Italy). The testing program is still on-going as part of a cooperation with the Port Authority of Taranto. The aim of the research is to study the effect of artificial stabilization on physical properties and behavior of the soil in order to choose the best option for re-use. In this paper, the physical and mechanical properties of the natural sediments are briefly described and their plasticity properties are compared with those of the treated clays. For each stabilizing agent, the effect of treatment is analyzed and the experimental data interpreted by means of a general plasticity model. The model was developed to provide a method for evaluating the effect on clay plasticity of the treatment with a given additive after a given curing time.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
