STUDY THE EFFECT OF FUEL OIL LIQUID ON ENGINEERING PROPERTIES OF GYPSEOUS SOIL

Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2017
One of the effected problems that the civil engineer faces it in construction of buildings is the presence of gypseous soils. Gypseous soil is highly dissolved when its water content increases.

EFFECT OF NANOMATERIALS ON SHEAR STRENGTH OF GYPSEOUS SOIL

Kufa Journal of Engineering, 2021
A Gypsum soil is an example of problematic soils and susceptible to large volumetric deformations when they become saturated. Various structures for instance: roads, spread foot, different kinds of building, expressways, as well as dams are damaged due to the swell and collapse of soils, this make such structures unqualified for using.

Rational descriptive classification of duricrusts [PDF]

, 1969
The term duricrust appears to be extending itself to include calcareous, gypseous, and saline crusts, in addition to crusts composed dominantly of silica and/or of sesquioxides of iron and aluminium, with or without significant contents of dioxides of ...

Effect of prescribed fire on soil properties and soil erosion in a Mediterranean mountain area [PDF]

, 2017
Prescribed fires are a common management practice in the Mediterranean region and can be an alternative to reduce the quantity of fuel and hence decrease the wildfire risk.

Stability of gypseous soils slopes stabilized with cutback asphalt and lime using the finite element method

Magazine of Civil Engineering
Gypseous soils are widely distributed all over the world, particularly in Iraq. These soils exhibit unpredictable behaviour including losing strength and collapsing upon wetting.

IMPROVEMENT OF GYPSEOUS SOIL BY PRE-WETTING

Diyala Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2011
Gypseous soil is one of problematic soils facing civil engineer.  The problem appears when constructing heavy buildings or hydraulic structures on these soils after wetted by water from rainfall or from the raising of water table level from any source.           On the other hand gypseous soil is considerably strong and has good properties when it is ...

Mitigation of collapse characteristics of gypseous soils by activated carbon, sodium metasilicate, and cement dust: An experimental study

Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, 2022
This study includes adding chemicals to gypseous soil to improve its collapse characteristics. The collapse behavior of gypseous soil brought from the north of Iraq (Salah El-Deen governorate) with a gypsum content of 59% was investigated using five ...
