EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE GEOTECHNICAL BEHAVIOR OF CALCAREOUS SOIL IMPROVED USING DIFFERENT ADMIXTURES - A COMPARATIVE STUDY
Mona Afifi Ahmed Mohamed;
Abstract
The calcareous soil formations are commonly composed of calcium carbonates
greater than 10%. Generally, the calcareous soils are extensively found near the
coastal areas of Egypt, such as the northern coast. The fundamental geotechnical
features of calcareous sand are the structural weakness of particles, variable
cementation, and high void ratio. Accordingly, the performance of calcareous
soils is usually connected with different interdependent problems, such as
crushability, compressibility, and chemical dissolving. Furthermore, the
aforementioned problems affect the development of projects; such as soil
replacement, excavation works for water channels, roads, and railways. In
earthworks applications, the calcareous soil is unable to respond effectively to
the imposed stresses and become a dominant factor responsible for structure
