Abstract
Soft soil is soil whose strength is premarily determined by water content and high compressibility, and it consists of silt and clay. The clayey silt content in soft soils greatly influences the ability of the soil to absorb water. The characteristics of soil are determined in the area along Gempol to Pasuruan distrct, East Java, Indonesia so that soil improvement is recommended, anticipating a large settlement due to pavement loads and vehicles. This study aims to analyze modifications in the natural soil when stabilized with lime. Several laboratory experiments were carried out to obtain the optimum quantity of lime, which is 6%. The strength of the remedial soil was investigated by California Bearing Ratio and triaxial tests. Generally, lime improved the strength of soil samples but, in the case of the shear strength parameter, the friction angle increased and the cohesion decreased.
