Abstract
Expansive clays are considered problematic soils as they exhibit sizable massive
volume changes with the change in moisture content. Such soils may cause damages to
structures, utilities, pavement, etc. unless special measures are taken to reduce the risk
of harm. Traditionally, swelling soils are entirely or partially replaced with nonswelling engineered fill. Alternatively, soil stabilization techniques are applied to
reduce swelling potential using locally available materials. Mixing swelling clays with
dolime fine is used as an improvement technique. Dolomite chips which are the end
product of crushing dolomite stones, are used in various industrial applications, while
dolime fine is produced from solid waste crushing. Dolime fine has a very high
percentage of CaO. It has been recommended as a binding agent that can replace pure
lime. So dolime fines can be utilized to stabilize expansive soil. Their strength and
availability characterize dolomite chips.
