Expansive Soil Crack Depth under Cumulative Damage
The crack developing depth is a key problem to slope stability of the expansive soil and its project governance and the crack appears under the roles of dry-wet cycle and gradually develops. It is believed from the analysis that, because of its own cohesion, the expansive soil will have a certain amount of deformation under pulling stress but without cracks. The soil body will crack only when t...
متن کاملan investigation of swell-shrink behavior of an expansive soil
expansive soils show swelling and shrinkage behavior when subjected to cyclic wetting and drying. the variation in water content influence the volume change in this kind of soil. these volume changes can cause ground movement which may result in damage to the buildings and structures. to study the behavior, a number of successive wetting-drying cycles were conducted on a statically compacted ex...
متن کاملInfluence of Soil-industrial Effluents Interaction on Subgrade Strength of an Expansive Soil-a Comparative Study
The rapid growth in population and industrialization cause generation of large quantities of effluents. The bulk effluents generated from industrial activities are discharged either treated or untreated over the soil leading to changes in soil properties causing improvement or degradation of engineering behaviour of soil. If there is an improvement in engineering behaviour of soil, there is a v...
متن کاملA Fractal Interpolation Model for Classification of Expansive Soil
The classification of the grade of shrink and expansion for the expansive soils is very important work for constructions in expansive soil area. Accurate evaluation of the estate of expansive soil may provide scientific data and basis for the prevention of engineering design and construction. This paper brings forward the classification method for expansive soil based on fractal interpolation t...
متن کاملMathematical Model to Predict Swelling of Expansive Soil
ABSTRACT: In this paper, a simple mathematical model is proposed to predict the swelling behavior of an expansive soil from Saudi Arabia. The model consists of one equation with many parameters. The main advantage of this model is that only one parameter is needed to run the model. While the other model parameters can be determined using the best fitting curve technique. The testing program inc...
