Abstract:

Relationships between the shrink-swell index and other clay tests, such as Atterberg limits have been investigated by others however, there is not any available information for the Wagga Wagga region in NSW Australia. This study’s objective is to establish some relationships between the shrink-swell index and Atterberg limits of the soils in the Wagga Wagga region. A total of 27 samples at different locations and depths was tested for shrink-swell index, linear shrinkage, liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index and soil particle size distribution, using Australian Standard test methods.

Abstract:

The undrained shear strength of remolded soils is of concern in certain geotechnical engineering applications. Several methods for determining this parameter exist, including the laboratory vane test. This study proposes a new method to estimate the undrained shear strength, particularly at the plastic and liquid limits. For 30 inorganic soil samples of different plasticity levels, we determined the Atterberg limits, then performed a series of reverse extrusion tests at different water contents. The plastic and liquid limits are derived from the linear relationship between the logarithm of the

Soil stabilization is a method used to increase the carrying capacity of a layer of soil, by giving special treatment to that layer of soil. Soil is one of the factors that can affect the structure of road construction. The CBR value is one of the parameters to determine soil carrying capacity, if the CBR value is high then the soil carrying capacity is good, whereas if the CBR value is low then the soil needs to be stabilized. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and classification of soil, determine the results of the grain gradation test, sieve analysis and hydrome

Abstract:

Determination of the Atterberg?s limits is necessary for the classification of fine-grained soil. That limits can be determined according to the valid standard SRPS EN ISO 17892-12. Two methods are prescribed by the standard for determining the liquid limit: the Casagrande cup and the Fall Cone test, and one method for determining the plasticity limit: the thread-rolling method. In this paper the Fall Cone method was also used as an alternative method to determine the plastic limit. Ten samples of various fine-grained materials, originating from the wider area of the city of Nis, were tested.

The main objectives of current work are to reduce the permeability of clayey soil for different fluid (water and crude oil) and to predict its efficiency for petroleum storage. Current research uses a sodium bentonite (B) with percentage (1.5, 3 and 6%) by the dry weight of soil and coal tar extended epoxy resin coating as the lining material. The soil sample was brought from AL -Nahrawan region. Soil's permeability for petrol was studied through using compacted soil model and making a central hole (core) in it with changing its dimensions (diameter, thickness of wall and base), type of fluid

Soil contamination is emerging as a major threat to environment as well as human health. The major causes of contamination are due to the rapid growth in industrial development, intensive agriculture and anthropogenic activities releasing heavy metals, chemicals, salts and other disease causing agents. The heavy metals decreases the quality of soil by leaching into it and thereby causing groundwater contamination. Therefore, remediation of such soils is necessary. Various methods are employed to remove the contaminants from soil. The paper focuses on using biopolymers as remedial agent in cadm

Swelling, shrinking, and subsequent low strength of expansive soil poses significant damage to structures if it is considered as foundation or fill material. Recently, the use of cement has become very prevalent in stabilizing these problematic soils owing to its effectiveness. However, the swelling potential of expansive soil is not always adequately resolved by cement. The presence of sulfate salts aggravates the situation impairing the effectiveness of cement, leading to the need to reassess its performance.

In spite of thefact from its a dvantage and shortcoming, fall cone penetrometer tends the minimum operatormistakes comparing to Casagrande cup. Moreover, a lack for determining plastic limit using byrolling soil samples with three mm in diameter also is caused by operator error. To reduce thathuman error, Lee and Freeman recommend using
