Gypseous Soil Improvement by Silicone Oil
مجلة النهرين للعلوم الهندسية, 2017 Gypseous soils are usually stiff when they are dry especially because of the cementation of soil particles by gypsum, but great loss in strength and sudden increase in compressibility occur when these soils are fully or partially saturated.
