The cohesion calculation formula in consideration of water content and lime rate is proposed. It is believed that the influence of curing time of 0-7 days on the cohesion and internal friction angle is larger than that of 7-28 days, and the curing time has less influence on internal friction angle than on cohesion. These conclusions can be referential for researches on the shear strength of lime-treated expansive soil. %U http://ckyyb.crsri.cn/EN/10.3969/j.issn.1001-5485.2012.12.013
