Resumen:

Improving soil strength by physical and chemical methods is a common practice in geotechnical engineering. This study investigates the chemical stabilization of soil with calcium oxide, CaO, to modify physical and chemical properties of clay materials for its use as a backfill. The analyzed materials correspond to a mixture of volcanic foam with cohesive soils of lacustrine origin with low resistance and high compressibility, coming from the Ex Lake of Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico basin and which require to be treated prior to its use as excavation filling material. To evaluate the feasibility of the treatment, the authors performed physical and chemical tests such as limits of Atterberg, particle-size analysis, compaction, resistance (UCS), expansion and Eades & Grim. The resulting design percentage is 8% CaO, the resistance values measured for different curing periods are greater than 350 kPa and expansions lower than 0.6%.
