Correlating engineering properties with index properties has assumed greater significance in the recent past in the field of geotechnical engineering. Although attempts have been made in the past to correlate compressibility with various index properties individually, all the properties affecting compressibility behaviour have not been considered together in any single study to examine which index property of the soil correlates best with compressibility behaviour, especially within a set of test results. In the present study, 10 soils covering a sufficiently wide range of liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit were selected and conventional consolidation tests were carried out starting with their initial water contents almost equal to their respective liquid limits. The compressibility behaviour is vastly different for pairs of soils having nearly the same liquid limit, but different plasticity characteristics. The relationship between void ratio and consolidation pressure is more closely related to the shrinkage index (shrinkage index = liquid limit - shrinkage limit) than to the plasticity index. Wide variations are seen with the liquid limit. For the soils investigated, the compression index relates better with the shrinkage index than with the plasticity index or liquid limit.Key words: Atterberg limits, classification, clays, compressibility, laboratory tests.

The behaviour of soil is complex in a natural environment. Contamination of soil with organic and inorganic contaminants may change the properties of soil. Recent studies have shown that the heavy metal contaminants affect the plasticity and consolidation behaviours. However, little is known about the effects of heavy metals on the behaviour of different types of clay, especially how clay behaves when multiple heavy metals are present in clay. The paper will present results from tests on the effect of three different heavy metal ions used separately, and mixed together in combinations, on the liquid limit (wL), plastic limit (wP) and plasticity index (PI) of kaolin, bentonite, mixtures of kaolin and bentonite and reconstituted Lucera clay. It is found that plasticity index of bentonite is reduced significantly with the addition of heavy metals while PI increases slightly in kaolin. A 1:1 clay mixture of kaolin and bentonite showed significant reduction, while reconstituted Lucera clay has shown small reduction with the addition of heavy metals. It is found that at higher concentrations of copper and zinc cations, the effect takes reverse trend on the liquid limit of kaolin and similar behaviour was observed on the bentonite at higher concentrations of lead ion. Interestingly, lead ion exhibited a significant effect on the plasticity of bentonite when tested with NaCl solution as pore fluid.

Numerous researches on landslides have been carried out by many researches. However, studies on soil physical properties related to landslides potential in volcanic area are still rare. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of soil physical properties on landslides potential. To collect the soil sample, sampling area method was applied. The soil type used in this study was the residual soil. The values of clay liquid limit, plasticity limit, plasticity index, water content, COLE index were used to measure the physical properties of the soil. Organic material was used as the supporting data. The results showed that the soil in the command area showed high value of clay which exceeded 50%. Such high level conditions in each profile affect the liquid limit; plasticity limit, plasticity index, water content, COLE index and organic material. Based on the results, it can be concluded that residual soils with significantly high clay values illustrated the risk of landslide fields formation in Bompon sub-watershed. The clay soil layer was the controlled factor of soil movement.

Dosen Teknik Sipil Politeknik Negeri Malang Clay consists of grains - grains are very small (<0002 mm) and shows the nature - the natureof plasticity and cohesion. Cohesion indicates the fact that part - the part that is attached to eachother, while the plasticity is a trait that allows the form of the material was changed - edit withoutchanging the content or without returning to its original form, and without any cracks or brokens.And clay with high plasticity index has strong support low when used as a basic foundation of thehighway, so the need for soil improvement.From the above problems then this study aims to engineer clay with red brick powder in fourcomparisons. The first native land. Both the original soil mixed with red brick powder 5%. Thethird native soil mixed with red brick powder 7.5%. The four original soil mixed with red brickpowder 10%. Each of these sought specific gravity, liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index onthe original soil, mixing 5%, 7.5% and 10%. From the analysis of data obtained the followingconclusion: the original soil, the value amounting to 60.9 Liquid limit, plastic limit values of 42.8and plasticity index value of 18.1. The most optimal additional percentage is 7.5%. And PlasticityIndex value at 7.5% is 20,31.Key words : Red brick powder, Soil Stability, Subgrade and the Road.

Black cotton soil is one of the significant problematic soil for any civil or geotechnical engineering application in the whole world. In the past several decades, different experimental studies have been carried out on the stabilization of expansive soil and different types of stabilizers like lime, Portland cement, cement fly ash, and lime fly ash were used and applied in highway and others construction. However, those traditional stabilizers are not environmentally friendly thus further scientific study is needed to minimize the percentage of carbon-based stabilizers. The fact that Ethiopia encountered major engineering problems due to these problematic soils many researchers have been conducted a vital study using traditional stabilizers for several years however there is no significant study on the microstructural properties of stabilized black cotton soil. In this study, a scoria fines and class c fly ash are used at different blended groups, for each group, the stabilizer content ranges from 10 to 30%. The liquid limit and plasticity index of the soil has been decreased with the increasing content of class c fly ash (FA) and cinder fines (CF). Especially after the soil treated with 25% of class c fly ash and 25% of cinder fines, the liquid limit has decreased by 51.61% and, the plasticity index by 78.61%, linear shrinkage by 66.58%, and the free swell index decreased by 78.9%. The CBR and UCS value has increased by 86.2% and 83.9%, respectively, and CBR swell reduced by 61.2% with increasing stabilizer content. The microstructural properties of Raw black cotton soil and samples that are selected based on strength and index properties (BCS+FA3, BCS+CF3, BCS+CF+FA3) were observed by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imagining device, and the result clearly shows the alteration in fabric and morphology of the sample. After treatment with class c fly ash and cinder fines, the laminated configuration of black cotton soil has changed to more flocculated and coherent mass. Also, the SEM image proves that cinder fines impart a mechanical bonding that forms well-developed floccules and a more porous nature. These types of particle arrangement and clay aggregation bring the improvement in index and strength properties.

A recent effective stress model of vane shear strength testing in soils can relate measured torques to vane shear strengths using theoretical analysis in terms of effective stress parameters. The strength estimates are based on known in situ stresses and soil parameters derived from laboratory testing. The model may be applied, for example, in obtaining theoretical estimates of conventional undrained vane shear strengths for comparison with field data and for use in stability analyses. However, the model incorporates a correction factor μv, analogous to Bjerrum's field vane shear strength correction factor μ, intended to compensate for pore-pressure and shearing-rate effects. This correction factor must be evaluated before reliable torque or shear strength estimates can be made in any given case. To facilitate this, the paper presents correlations of μv with both liquid limit and plasticity index, based on world-wide data from clays and silts. The correlations are compared with independent data from Norwegian clays. Key words : clay, correction factor, effective stress, liquid limit, plasticity index, silt, vane shear strength.
