In order to investigate the effect of delayed compaction on the strength of the lime soil mixtures, labroatory test with two kind of soils was performed at four levels of lime content, at five levels of water content, and at six love's of delayed times. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content decreased with increase of the delayed times. The decreasing rate of those values at the earlier delayed time were large, and those values showed almost constant after about four hours of delayed time. 2. According to the increase of the delayed time, the decreasing rate of maximum dry density and optimum moisture content was large ia S-2 sample, but was a little in S-1 sample. 3. Unconfined compressive strength of lime soil mixtures decreased with the increase of the delayed time, and the decreasing rate of its strength increased with the increase of the lime content. 4. Water content corresponding to the maximum strength was a little higher than the optimum moisture content along the increase of lime content and delayed time but its value was large in fine soil.
