    Abstract :

    This study deals with the evaluation of effect of stabilizing alternated soil layers with soil layers on the strength and compaction characteristics of fine soil chosen from Nizwa area, using lime as stabilizer. In evaluation, the stabilized layers considered as sheet reinforcement. The treatment of alternated soil layers by lime indicates an increase in unconfined compressive strength. In addition, and accordingly, the quantity of water needed for stabilization, time and effort of mixing soil with the stabilizer will reduce relatively to the case of fully stabilized soil.
