Abstract
Needs of sustainability in Civil Engineering design arose years ago and is constantly growing, fosteredby the goals of the European Green Deal. In recent years, several environmental issues linked to theuse of soils in civil engineering have raised. Nowadays the availability of natural high-quality soilto be used as construction materials is more and more limited; soils should be recycled as much aspossible. Geotechnical engineering can significantly contribute to reach the recycling goal via selectingways to reuse excavated soil. The properties of fine-grained soils that are unsuitable for earthworksafter compaction only can be improved by adding lime as a stabilizing agent to get proper materialcharacteristics.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
