| Abstract | Strength, compressibility, swell and permeability characteristics of compacted clay has been reviewed in this study. Basically, the engineering behaviour is governed by the compacted clay's structure; any alteration of the soil structure should affect the engineering properties. The stability design in terms of effective stress analysis is mostly based on saturated condition. The effective stress principle of compacted partly-saturated clays needs to be further studied. No such principle has been proven adequately to apply on partly-saturated clays. Consideration should be taken to the separate measurement of pore-air and pore-water pressure. A special reference is given to the compacted Bangkok cl ay and its engineering characteristics which has been studied in the A.I.T. |
