This study presents the experimental results on the use of cement in modification and stabilization of medium plastic clays. Samples of lean clay were mixed with Portland cement in percentages of 5 and 10 % by dry weight of the soils that had water contents of 40 and 60 %. The curing time of the samples varied between 7 and 28 days. …
This study presents the effect of high plasticity on swell potential, swelling pressure and micro-structural characteristics of kaolinite-bentonite mixed clays. Five different mix ratios of kaolinite bentonite mixture of 100:0, 90:10, 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75 in % by weight of dry kaolinite were used. All five synthesised soils were then mixed with …
between U-line and A-line in plasticity chart, and this means the clay samples in the tests belong to the high-plasticity clay (CH) class (Fig. 5). The test results and given relationship among the consis-tency parameters (w L-w P-I P) were used to develop a new cor-relation based on the formula developed by Cinicioglu et al. (2002)inEq.4.

Usually plasticity index depends on the amount of clay present in the soil. A high value of PI indicates an excess of clay in the soil and that results in greater plasticity of that soil. If soil's plasticity index is small that shows soil is plastic for …
Several measuring techniques and devices were proposed to determine the optimal water content in a clay body required to allow this body to be plastically …
the true clay-mineral content of some of these materials may be less than that of other clay resources. The under-clays of the coal fi elds are next in plasticity, followed by shales. Clays or shales that are high in siliceous or sandy material have lower plasticities. Some products, like brick, require a material with low to medium plasticity.
In spite of recent studies of subaudible acoustic emissions, there has been relatively little work done in the soil mechanics area. This technical note presents a technique of monitoring acoustic emissions of soil under stress. Utilization of such a ...
This research aims to develop simple models to estimate the unconfined compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, and plastic strain of low-plasticity clays using liquid limit, plasticity index, optimum moisture content, and maximum dry density, which are simple properties that could be easily found using simple laboratory tests. To …

A systematic study of medium plasticity marine clays obtained at two locations in Greece is presented on the basis of resonant column tests on undisturbed samples. Results for shear modulus and ...
Plasticity is the outstanding property of clay–water systems. It is the property a substance has when deformed continuously under a finite force.
Both γ tl and γ tv depend on the type of soil and are correlated to soils plasticity index (PI). Based on these correlations with PI, a new rational categorization of cyclic shear strains with respect to their magnitude and type of soil is proposed. ...

Prior to Jones & Terrington (2011) there had been few studies on the VCP of London Clay, except chapters covering the Plasticity Index (PI) in Burnett & Fookes (1974), Forster (1997), Hight et al ...

In this paper, various local clays in Indonesia were studied to obtain a suitable clay as the single raw material for LECA production. Clay raw materials were …
most natural clays of low to medium plasticity.6 Extensive analysis of the mechanicalbehaviour of natural clays with the emphasis on destructuration has been given by Leroueil and Vaughan7 and Burland.8 Models for destructuring soils and weak rocks were discussed by Desai et al .9
the plasticity, and the clay with low and medium plasticity. For class F4 further value increase to 4 MPa because of the sand contained in the clay. The value is 6 MPa at analogous class of foundation soil F3. The value is 5 MPa at a maximum of soft consistency and at a minimum values of a rigid consistence.
In the study area, Meydan site consists of low-medium plasticity clay (CL) at a depth of 1.5–3 m and silty sand (SM) at a depth of 3.5–12.45 m; Bahçelievler site consists of low-medium plasticity clay (CL) at a depth of 1.5–7 m and silty sand (SM) at a depth of 7–15 m.
The Sherbrooke block sampler has been used at several clay sites in Norway. Samples down to 22 m (72 ft) below ground level have successfully been obtained. Standard piston sampling with the 54 mm (2.12 in) NGI sampler have been obtained at the same sites. 75 mm (29.5 in) and 95 mm (27.4 in) piston samples have been obtained in some cases. …

Plasticity and the amount of clays present in the soil are related to each other in a way that properties and behaviour of clays are influenced by presence of certain clay minerals. The thickness of the oriented water around a clay particle is dependent on type of clay mineral. Higher the amount of water adsorbing minerals present in the soil ...

Clay, medium plasticity: 40–50: 18–25: 16–28: Clay, high plasticity: 60–85: 20–35: 35–55: The plasticity of clays depends not only on the water content but also substantially on the content and nature of the clay minerals, as listed in Table 9.3. That is why the plasticity can be used to estimate not only the content but also the ...
The chemo-mechanical behaviour of clays at the macroscopic level has been generally reproduced in the framework of hardening elasto-plasticity, as in Hueckel, Loret et al., Guimaraes et al., Witteveen et al., Yan . However, most of the models have been formulated for high activity clays, sharing the assumption of preconsolidation …
