On the compressibility and shear strength of natural clays
سال چاپ: ۱۹۹۱
چکیده مقاله:
The compressibility and strength characteristics of reconstituted clays are used as a basic frame of reference for interpreting the corresponding characteristics of natural sedimentary clays. The properties of reconstituted clays are termed ‘intrinsic’ properties since they are inherent to the soil and independent of the natural state. The properties of a natural clay differ from its intrinsic properties due to the influence of soil structure (fabric and bonding). Thus the intrinsic properties provide a frame of reference for assessing the in situ state of a natural clay and the influence of structure on its in situ properties. A new normalizing parameter called the void index is introduced to aid in correlating the compression characteristics of various clays. The sedimentation compression curves for most, but not all, natural clays lie well above the corresponding intrinsic compression curves.
