Role of Diatom Microstructure in Determining the Atterberg Limits of Fine-Grained Diatomaceous Soil
The presence of diatoms in diatomaceous soil gives it geotechnical properties that are unusual compared with common clays. The most typical physical property of diatomaceous soil is its abnormally high Atterberg limits compared to fine-grained soil ...

Soil Atterberg limits of different weathering profiles of the collapsing gullies in the hilly granitic region of southern China [PDF]
Collapsing gullies are one of the most serious soil erosion problems in the tropical and subtropical areas of southern China. However, few studies have been performed on the relationship of soil Atterberg limits with soil profiles of the collapsing ...

Relation Between Swelling Pressure and Potential Expansion Soil with Atterberg Limits [PDF]
The expansive soils can be founded in various regions and extent areas in the south, middle and north of Iraq. Damage to these soils may appear immediately after construction within five years, or it may take several years until something happen to ...

Plasticity properties and undrained strength of bio-enzyme treated black-cotton soils [PDF]
For Black cotton (B.C.) soils many alternate stabilization techniques are being suggested by researchers from time to time, which partially address the problem of volumetric instability with moisture changes.

Atterberg limits fail in recognizing fragipan horizons [PDF]
Fragipan is a subsurface soil horizon characterized by high bulk density, coupled with an abundance of fine, blind pores. We hypothesized that this distinctive porosity pattern could affect the Atterberg limits, with sig-nificant deviations from those ...
