| Summary: |
Understanding characteristics of soil mixtures lead to increasing the confidence level before
applying such materials in the field. The outcomes of this study can provide insight into
mechanical behaviour of a soil mixture between non-swelling and bentonite soil. Series of
laboratory tests were conducted to evaluated index properties, compaction, strength, and
swelling behaviour of the soil – bentonite mixtures. The result of this study indicated that the
existence of bentonite in the soil mixtures influence the swelling behaviour, which follows
hyperbolic curve model. Amount and size of non swelling fraction reduced the swelling and
compressibility of expansive soils. |
