| Abstract | Ma hasarakham claystone residual so i 1 in Khon Kaen area were
inves ti ga t ed with respect to the ir minera log i ca l, chemi ca l, and
eng inee ring properties and how these factors are affected by
weathering processes. The genera l ized weathering profile of
c lays tone in the st udy area cons i sts of mott l ed zo ne, pallid zone ,
and saprolit e zone. The montmo ri llonit e is the ma j or c l ay minera l
and the kaolinite and illit e are the minor c l ay minera l s . In
plasticity chart, the c l ay content of resi dua l soi l s which are
dominated by montmori llonit e were plotted a l ong the A- line . In the
act i v it y chart, the clay con t ent and plasticity index was plotted
in normal act ivit y zone. In the c lass ifi ca ti on chart for swe lling
pot enti a l, the residual soi l were plotted in low to medium swe lling
potential. |
