Journal ArticleDOI
Swell–compression behaviour of compacted clays under chemical gradients
Sudhakar M. Rao,T. Thyagaraj +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of inflow of sodium chloride solutions on the swell-compression behavior of compacted expansive clays under a range of external loads was examined, and the results showed that the inflow increased the swell compression behavior of clays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Swelling of compacted clay under osmotic gradients
TL;DR: Lu et al. as discussed by the authors showed that changes in the dissolved salts concentration of soil water from salt diffusion in response to osmotic suction difference will alter the swell magnitudes of expansive clays, which are strongly influenced by salt concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of direction of salt migration on the swelling behaviour of compacted clays
Sudhakar M. Rao,T. Thyagaraj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of dissipation of matric suction and osmotic suction gradients on the swelling behavior of compacted expansive clays was investigated, and it was shown that the direction of salt diffusion has a significant bearing on their swelling behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Osmotic Suction on the Soil-Water Characteristic Curves of Compacted Expansive Clay
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of induced osmotic suction gradient on the wetting SWCCs of compacted clay specimens inundated with sodium chloride solutions/distilled water at vertical stress of 6.25 kPa in oedometer cells was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory Studies on Stabilization of an Expansive Soil by Lime Precipitation Technique
TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to study the precipitation of lime in soil by successive mixing of CaCl2 and NaOH solutions with the expansive soil in two different sequences.
