T/F Shrinkage cracks are caused by the natural curing of concrete? Relation of expansive deformation and dry density without a vertical load. The amount of damage caused by expansive soils is alarming. The diameter to thickness ratio It is recommended that basements not be finished for at least: New concrete contains considerable moisture. A low depression used in the soil for drainage. The unit mass of the solids in the soil was 0.156kN/m3, the natural water content was 27.3%, and void ratio was 0.588. This result demonstrated that there was a threshold value of initial moisture content, above which primary expansion process would be depressed. V. Sivakumar, J. Zaini, D. Gallipoli, and B. Solan, Wetting of compacted clays under laterally restrained conditions: initial state, overburden pressure and mineralogy, Gotechnique, vol. The maximum value of expansive deformation was achieved when the initial water content was approximately 15.8% for all three different dry densities. Cited by lists all citing articles based on Crossref citations.Articles with the Crossref icon will open in a new tab. Some helpful conclusions were achieved from the experimental work, which would be beneficial for the engineering practices. (2) Initial Water Content Effect. 111125, 2015. These soils are fine-grained clay minerals comprised of illites, kaolinites, or montmorillonites. While the dry density was the minimum value, expansive strain increased from 8.95% to 10.667% and then decreased to 7.35% when the initial water content increased from 10.10% to 22.19%. [5]; Adem and Vanapalli [6]; and Lin and Cerato [7]). Jayalath et al. 3.Gaps between sill and foundation 3 Background 3.1 Damages Caused by Expansive Soils 3.1.1 Structural Damages. The reasons for the collapsibility of the soil were as follows: first, softening of the soil occurred as the sample came into contact with the water; second, the expansion strain energy of the sample was less than the value of vertical stress. is transmitted to the soil specimen through the loading cap. and are the axial distortion through the second and third phases, respectively, and is the sample height at the beginning of the tests. The expansive clays increase in their volume when they come in contact with water owing to surface The magnitude of swell pressure (the minimum vertical stress required to prevent swelling), and free swell (percent swell under a pressure of 1 kPa or 20 lbf/ft 2) can also be determined from the results of Test Method A. pressure exerted by the soil specimen under zero swelling condition shall be With an increase in the vertical loading, the soil samples first expanded, and then the samples with a lower dry density collapsed; however, the samples with a higher dry density did not collapse, even under a considerable vertical loading. This difference could be explained as follows: under the same dry density, a sample with a smaller initial water content had more macropores (Tan et al. It is a good idea to inspect the neighborhood as you are arriving at an inspection. More details are explained in IS 2720 (Part 41):1977.

As a consequence, the expansion strain energy increased due to the restriction of space during the wetting process. from it as given in Para (i) above. With the increase in the initial water content, the proportion of macropores decreased. The results of the moisture content effects on the expansive pressure were not consistent in the literatures. Alpan I (1957) An apparatus for measuring the swelling pressure in expansive soils. A sufficient volume of internal pore space reduced soil swelling. Table 1 shows the swelling coefficients for different initial water contents under the same dry density. ground improvement measures may be needed before constructing embankment on such Lateral and vertical swelling pressures associated with expansive soils cause damages on structures. (Wythe). Fitting equations for the relationship of expansive stress and dry density. All Rights Reserved. Tentang Kol ; Pelajari lebih lanjut tentang teknologi kami dan seberapa banyak universitas, organisasi penelitian, dan perusahaan di semua industri menggunakan data kami untuk menurunkan biaya mereka. Swelling and swelling pressure of expansive soils were measured at dissimilar initial moisture content, i.e. The ultimate expansive stress increased with dry density under same moisture content. 24, pp. 8, no. undisturbed tube sample or from block sample, the latter generally You put water on clay and it expands. After the free swelling test, the free swelling strain was 41.17%, which classified this soil as weakly expansive. Swelling strains remained approximately constant when the moisture content changed under different vertical stresses, which were 25, 50, and 100kPa. The dial gauge readings natural scale. upon several factors namely (a) the type and amount of clay in the soil and 13111321, 2012. Joists. The diameter of the top stone A monotonous relation between the swelling pressure and swelling strain was achieved, as expressed by equation (4). Lateral and vertical swelling pressures associated with expansive soils cause damages on structures. The expansive strain under 0kPa was much greater than those for the samples under vertical stress but the same dry density. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative, Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips, Not logged in When the axial load was less than 50kPa, all samples except one presented swelling potential. either fixed or the floating rings on both undisturbed and re-moulded soils Transp Res Rec 1526:1419, Najjar YM, Basheer IA (1998) Modeling of soil swelling via regression and neural network approaches. , is known as Swelling Pressure of Soil. When dry densities were small, for example, 0.14kN/m3 or 0.15kN/m3, swelling pressure was smaller than a sample with larger dry density. 129, no. Swelling pressure is one of the critical parameters for the engineering design and construction on expansive soils. This difference can be explained as follows: under the same dry density, a sample with a smaller initial water content had more macropores (Tan et al. A. Sridharan and Y. Gurtug, Swelling behaviour of compacted fine-grained soils, Engineering Geology, vol. 4, pp. These results could be explained by the change in the microstructure with diverse moisture contents. Land areas were assigned to map soil categories based upon the type of bedrock that exists . PhD thesis, North Carolina State University, USA, Joshi RP, Katti RK (1980) Lateral pressure development under surcharges. F - There are usually no structural implications to shrinkage cracks. Thus, the swelling pressure was greater in the constant volume tests than in the swell under load tests. Please note: Selecting permissions does not provide access to the full text of the article, please see our help page 3. 30, no. What is a shrinkage crack and what causes it? There were three phrases for the swelling deformation time history on the basis of [21] and [22]. Lightweight dwellings, warehouses, garages/sheds, services and pavements are especially vulnerable to damage from swelling soils as these structures are less able to suppress the differential heave of the swelling soil than heavy, multistory structures. 653658, 2014. The soil specimen so cut shall The process of swelling deformation was recorded automatically until stabilization. 3. The interaction between light structures and expansive soils as mainly active clays was studied since the 1950's. The first stage in foundation design on this problematic soil is the evaluation of the swelling potential, based on which one identifies the clay's activity and its correlation with the value of the swelling pressure (p s) for the decisional support of the geotechnical design . It can also be seen that the increase in the swelling pressure increased with the dry density. The consolidation loads shall be applied till the specimen attains its The peak values of expansive strains were obtained for different initial water contents while dry density was 0.16kN/m3. The net effect of their constituency is such that they have the unique . Figure 16(a) shows that the maximum swelling pressure occurred when the dry density was 0.16kN/m3. The duration of test shall conform to the 20120162110023). 2. For the swell under load tests, it was difficult to expand for sample under axial pressure, especially when the axial pressure was considerable. Several smaller cracks because the indicate more movement. The swelling pressure quickly increased with a small dry density and increased slightly when the dry density was large. readings attain a steady state for each load applied over the specimen. [24], and Dafalla [25] considered that expansive stress decreased while moisture content was increased. This research was funded by the specialized research fund for the doctoral program of China (grant no. counter-balanced. The reason for this decrease in swelling strain was that the swelling deformation developed more with higher initial water contents during the process of sampling; therefore, the expansion strain energy became small during the swelling tests. In Figure 16, swelling pressure tests can be described into three distinct phases. The swelling pressure is dependent upon several factors namely (a) the type and amount of clay in the soil and the nature of the clay mineral, (b) the initial water content and dry density, (c) the nature of pore fluid, (d) the stress history of the soil including the confining pressure and (e) drying and wetting cycles to which the soils have As a result, the measured expansion strain energy and swelling pressure were small. However, the direction of friction was first opposite to the swelling direction and then along the swelling direction as the axial pressure increased, balancing the swelling pressure for the constant volume tests. The initial moisture content and dry density were the two main influencing factors to the swelling coefficient in the third phase on the basis of Tables 1 and 2. 15 minutes and moisten all surfaces of the consolidometer which are to be Nayak and Christensen [23], imen et al. The magnitude of the stresses can decrease rapidly when volume changes are partly allowed. M. V. Villar and A. Lloret, Influence of dry density and water content on the swelling of a compacted bentonite, Applied Clay Science, vol. Wang et al. The related parameters are shown in Table 5. These results could be explained by the change in the microstructure as the water content increased; this relationship could be described by a Gaussian function. The water entered into the cell until 5mm higher than the top surface of the sample. (a) 3,000 (b) 4,000 (c) 5,000 (d) 6,000, The min.

Shrink-swell, or expansive, soils are one of the most costly and globally widespread geological hazards, with costs estimated to run into several billion pounds annually. Expansive soils undergo large volumetric changes with change in moisture content. specimen at constant volume, the platen shall be so adjusted that the dial gauge always Comparing Figure 12(a) with Figure 12(b), the relation of expansive deformation and vertical stress was similar, although the initial water content could slightly vary this relation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00521-012-1254-1, http://www.cosis.net/abstracts/EGU04/03295/EGU04-J-03295.pdf. 3, pp. When you join you get additional benefits. show the original reading. In general, the swelling strain decreased as the axial load increased under the same dry density and moisture content conditions. Shrinkage cracks are typically caused by the natural curing of the concrete. 15%, 17% and 20%. What is an implication of improper foundation grading? Compression index was calculated according to the slope of the straight line. Preparation of Specimen from Undisturbed Soil Samples: Clean In: Proceedings of the workshop at Florida International University, North Miami, Florida, 56. The sample was saturated from the bottom to the top of the sample. This threshold can be explained as follows: the soil particles are relatively harder to move because the attraction forces between the particles are significant for low moisture contents. When the moisture content was 22.19%, the minimum swelling coefficient was achieved. Relationship of measured expansive stress and expansive stress predicted by this study. (b) Specimen Thickness: Shall be at least 20mm in all cases. Screw the holder with the dial gauge to record the progressive To learn about our use of cookies and how you can manage your cookie settings, please see our Cookie Policy. The equilibrium swelling is normally Furthermore, regarding the initial water content, there was a threshold value above which the swelling strain started to decrease again. Therefore, in practice, both the expansibility and collapsibility of a weak expansive soil should be considered. Houses on side-hill lots may be subject to cut and fill type settlement problems. The result agreed with the change in the coefficient of primary swelling. (b) Dry density of 0.15kN/m. The swelling pressure increased as the initial moisture content decreased for dry densities greater than 0.125kN/m3. [24], and Dafalla [25] considered expansive stress decreased monotonically with a rise in the moisture content. In: 12th Panamerican conference on soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering/39th US rock mechanics symposium, Cambridge, MA, USA, pp 17671772, Rizzo DM, Dougherty DE (1994) Application of artificial neural networks for site characterization using hard and soft information. Both percent swell and the swelling pressure are significantly influenced by the presence of vertical drains (facility of water availability). The authors gratefully acknowledge the support given by the Turkish Polystyrene Manufacturers Association (PUD). Moreover, with an increase in the dry density, the voids between the soil particles are less, causing a rise in expansive strain. NCHRP web document. Door openings in load bearing walls DO or DO NOT need headers. the seating load at different time intervals. The above results could be explained as follows. Therefore, samples collapsed in the course of wetting process. IS:2720 (Part-XI). For increasing initial moisture content, the swelling strain first increased and then decreased without the vertical stress, similar to the relationship of expansive stress and moisture content. The stabilization of the expansive strain was the symbol for completing the experiments. (a) Initial water content of 10.10%. and porous stones at top and bottom of the specimen, providing a wet filter The peak value of expansive coefficient in the third phase was reached while an initial moisture content was 15.8% based on Table 1. However, the thickness Google Scholar, Goh ATC (1996) Neural-network modeling of CPT seismic liquefaction data. Keep the consolidation specimen ring with the specimen between two porous Moisture content, dry density, and vertical stress effects on swelling capacity of compacted expansive soil were systematically investigated in the paper.
