Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lime is commonly used to improve the engineering behavior of marine clay. But there is a need to investigate the lime-attributed changes in a particulate system in a marine environment. Lime columns 50 mm in diameter and 500 mm in length were installed in test tanks 600 mm in diameter at a depth of 550 mm, while lime injection was attempted in a test tank, 1000 by 1000 by 750 mm. The present investigation deals with experimental work carried out in the laboratory using lime column and lime injection techniques to stabilize an Indian marine clay in a salt water environment. Different inorganic additives were used with lime as column filler material to study the effect of lime-attributed changes occurring in the particle growth of soil systems. Grain-size distribution tests and SEM technique were carried out to study the lime-induced changes on the constituent particles. The test results indicate that there is an increase in the size of clay particles towards silt or fine sand fraction due to lime treatment. The formation of aggregates due to lime-soil reactions can be seen in the micrographs of different lime-treated soil systems, and the same has been confirmed using the SEM technique.

This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, , language: English, abstract: In this study, marine clay will be studied by mixing lime and cement in order to determine the strength development especially under ponding condition. The sample is classified based on AASTHO and USCS classification systems by using the Atterberg limits test (liquid limit and plastic limit) and the sieve analysis test, whereas Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) and the California Bearing Ratio test (CBR) were conducted to determine the strength before and after adding different percentages of lime and OPC cement. Treating marine clay is important for further purposed in construction and other infrastructure. Marine clay is considered as soft clay that can not resist heavy load and it found both in the littoral and in a few seaward ranges. The objective of this study is to determine physical and engineering properties of marine clay collected from Kuala Perlis, Malaysia, to investigate the improvement of strength of marine clay treated with lime and cement and investigate the long term effect of lime and cement in treatment marine clay under ponding condition.

This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents experimental work done to investigate the efficacy of different additives, viz., lime and Quarry Dust, in stabilizing the marine clay, thereby, improving the strength, swell characteristics of the marine clay. A systematic methodical process was followed, involving experimentation in the laboratory under controlled conditions. It was observed that 7.5% lime treatment as individually and with the combination of 25% Quarry Dust with marine clay has effectively improved the laboratory CBR value. It was noticed from the laboratory investigations of the cyclic plate load test results that, the load carrying capacity of the treated marine clay subgrade model flexible pavement has been increased by 254% at OMC and 225% at FSC when compared with untreated marine clay subgrade model flexible pavement.

Download or read book Determination of Clay Size Fraction of Marine Clays written by A. Sridharan and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This technical note describes a study on the effect of different dispersing agents and the quantity of same on the grain-size distribution and in particular the percentage of clay size. The results confirm that the existing practice of using 100 mL of standard dispersing agent, viz. sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium carbonate solution, is suitable for marine clays also. The clay size fraction in a marine soil exists in the form of flocs, and hence a dispersing agent is imperative in determining the percentage of clay size fraction. This paper shows that the clay size fraction can vary significantly (4 to 45%) for the marine clays depending upon the dispersing agent used. It also brings out the importance of the need for using an initially moist sample for grain-size analysis in the case of marine clays. Initial air/oven drying before testing induces irreversible aggregation.

Download or read book The Pneumatic Flow Mixing Method written by Masaki Kitazume and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-11-03 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pneumatic flow mixing method was developed to stabilize dredged soil and surplus soil for promoting their beneficial use in 1999. The pneumatic flow mixing method is a new type of the ex-situ cement stabilization techniques, in which dredged soil and surplus soil is mixed with a relatively small amount of chemical binder without any mixing paddles and blades in a pipeline. When a relatively large amount of compressed air is injected into the pipeline, soil can be separated into small blocks. When binder is injected into the pipeline, the soil block and binder are thoroughly mixed by means of turbulent flow generated in the soil block during transporting. As this method has many benefits − rapid and large scale execution can be conducted with low cost − it has been applied to many land reclamation projects, backfilling behind earth retaining wall projects and shallow stabilization projects using dredged soils and surplus soils. The Pneumatic Flow Mixing Method is a useful reference tool for engineers and researchers involved in admixture stabilization technology everywhere, regardless of local soil conditions and a variety in applications.
