| Summary: |
This article gives an account of experimental investigation of swelling properties of clay soils. The kaolin – bentonite and sand – bentonite soils are mixed to produce specimen for the investigation. These soils are engineered to suit the desired properties. Statically compacted specimens, at their optimum moisture content and maximum dry density, are tested in conventional consolidation apparatus for vertical swelling determination. The results of this study show that the time required to reach maximum swelling varies for each soil mixtures but follows similar swelling path. The swelling of clay soils occurs in three distinct stages: intervoid (initial), primary, and secondary swelling. |
