Engineering Characteristics of Expansive Soil and its Improved Research Development

Article Preview

Abstract:

Expansive Soil is a kind of high plastic clay. Because it has Strong hydrophilic mineral composition, its engineering prosperities embodies that its shape contracts under dehydrating, Inflation and softening under the influence of water and the strength attenuates. This is very difficult to construct in the region of expansive soil. In the region of seasonal frozen, as capillary water rising height is larger; it is prone to phenomenon of frost boil or thawing settlement. It has important meaning to improve hydrophilic and physical and mechanical properties of expansive soil for Slope stability of embankment and cutting of highway engineering and reducing the cost of investment. The paper discusses the engineering properties of expansive soil in Detail; expound some main methods of improved expansive soil at home and abroad and compare and analysis the mechanism and characteristics of the corresponding methods. The paper introduces preliminary testing methods of Expansive soil performance and prospects improved in the future.
