The shallow Soft Clayey deposit is common in Alexandria-Egypt. Most soft clays their natural state are unsuitable for supporting any structure. Thus, improvement treatments exist to strengthen these soils so that improved soil can have adequate bearing capacity without undergoing failure or producing substantial excessive settlement post construction and applied loads them. This paper presents ...

Review of npg-2015-79 This manuscript presents multifractal analyses of nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms obtained on soil samples from 6 different soil profiles in São Paulo State, Brazil. There is very little that is new here, and the manuscript essentially repeats the study by Paz-Ferreiro et al. (2013), but in a different geographic area and with some less clayey soils. Although ...

Electro-osmosis in clayey soils and sediments, for purposes of clay consolidation, dewatering, or cleanup, and electro injection in porous media is widespread recent decades. It is experimentally found that the chemical properties of porous media especially PH change the characteristics of media. Electro-osmotic conductivity is a function of soil and grout material chemistry, altering with time...

Studies on clayey soils developed in temperate areas have shown that their water retention properties are related to both the clay content and specific pore volume of clay, latter being hydric history soil, is drying/wetting cycles. Our objective was discuss validity these results for semi-arid areas. Samples were collected located Syria. Physico-chemical determined. Water measured at field cap...

Expansive clayey soils are highly moisture sensitive with respect to stress, deformation and strength. These soils exhibit extreme variation in deformation such as heaving, loss of shear strength under certain Moisture Content and settlement and shrinkage as the Moisture Content alters. Swelling is the process of increase in volume of soil that occurs during its interaction with water. Expansiv...
