| 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 the swelling and the
compressibility behavior of soil – bentonite mixtures, between non-swelling materials and swelling
materials. A simple swell and compression laboratory test has been conducted for the purposes of
this study. The result of this study indicated that the existence of bentonite in the soil mixtures
influence the swelling behavior, which follows a hyperbolic curve model. Amount and size of nonswelling
fraction affected the swelling and compressibility. |
