The Engineering Behind Soil Stabilization with Additives: A …

It should be noted that, during lime stabilization, due to the absence of cement clinker components including C 3 S, C 2 S, C 3 A, and C 4 A, primary cementitious hydration reactions that were prominent in cement stabilization would not occur. Instead, a secondary cementitious reaction such as the pozzolanic reaction would take place.
