A review on treatment gypsum soil by using cement and lime

Gypsum soils, known for their high solubility and weak structural integrity, pose significant challenges in construction and agricultural applications. These soils tend to exhibit excessive settlement and reduced load-bearing capacity, particularly when exposed to moisture. Lime and cement stabilization has emerged as a promising solution to mitigate these challenges. By improving the soil mechanical properties through chemical reactions, Soil stabilization improves durability and strength, making it suitable for various engineering purposes. This paper reviews recent advancements, challenges, and opportunities associated with the application of lime and cement to gypsum soils, focusing on geotechnical performance and practical implications.
