Swelling Characteristics of Compacted, Expansive Soils
Abstraet-The limitations of existing methods for the prediction of swelling behavior of compacted softs are examined. Both the purely theoretical approach and the purely empirical approach are found to be inadequate. The present study is based on a semi-empirical approach in which a model of swelling behavior is developed leading to equations relating swelling potential or swelling pressure of ...
متن کاملCompacted Urban Soils and their Remediation
The effects of urbanization on soil structure can be extensive. Infiltration of rain water through soils can be greatly reduced, plus the benefits of infiltration and biofiltration devices can be severely jeopardized. Our research group (along with others), have been studying disturbed urban soils for several decades, both in the laboratory and in the field. The effects of compaction on infiltr...
متن کاملBehavior of Granular Soils under Dry and Saturated Conditions in Cyclic Torsional Shear Tests
This paper presents results from drained cyclic torsional shear tests on Toyoura sand and a residual soil under dry and saturated conditions. The relationships of shear strain, z with shear stress, z ; normalized shear stress, z z / ; vertical strain, z ; and equivalent shear modulus, Geq are compared. The investigation of granular decomposition with respect to its influence o...
متن کاملPorewater chemistry in compacted re-saturated MX-80 bentonite.
Bentonites of various types are being investigated in many countries as backfill materials in high-level radioactive waste disposal concepts. Being able to understand the chemistry of the porewater in compacted bentonite is very important since it is critical to predicting radionuclide solubilities and to the synthesis of sorption data bases, and hence to repository safety studies. In this pape...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of Desiccation Cracking in Compacted Soils
Desiccation cracking and its implications will be more of an issue due to the global warming trends. Soils tend to shrink when they lose moisture. In particular, fine-grained soils are susceptible to shrinkage and the resulting volume change. Shrinkage can cause cracking of soils that can adversely impact the engineering properties and behavior of the soils. As a result, the integrity of struct...
