Effect of Soil-Particle and Pore Orientations on Uniaxial Compressive Strength
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
The main objective in the compaction of earth dams, highway embankments, bridge abutments and fills behind retaining walls is to increase the strength of the soils. Compressive strength value of the samples is controlled by the fabric of the compacted soil. The fabric of the compacted soil is not isotropic in all directions. In this study, it has been shown the other two horizontally oriented soil fabrics perpendicular to the compaction direction were, on the contrary to popular belief, not isotropic. It has been shown that the soil fabric tends to become isotropic with the addition of more than 20% spherical fly ash and the compressive strength values depending on perpendicular directions are about equalized to each other.
