Abstract: The main aim of this paper was to approximate displacement of subgrade surface under cyclic loading. Soil specimens were loaded by force, which caused displacement to 2.54 mm. After that, specimens were loaded by the same force a number times. This procedure allowed to define the kind of displacement occurring under cyclic loading. An analysis of individual displacement was done on paper. Soil specimen was sandy clay and sandy clay stabilized by the addition of lime, the amount of which equals 8%. The additional aim was to prove that stabilization of cohesive soils with lime can marked increase stiffness of soil and to show various load-unload conditions of stabilized and non-stabilized sandy clay.
