| Abstract | An investigation was carried out to determine the engineering properties of compacted Rangsit clay. This material is extensively used in the construction of roads, railways, embankments and earth dams . Disturbed
samples were collected from 0.2 m to 1. 0 m depth at the AIT Campus.
The effects of the dry density and the molding water content on the undrained strength of the unsoaked and the soaked samples were determined from the unconfined compression tests and the unconsolidated undrained tests. The effective shear strength parameters were obtained from the results of the isotropically consolidated undrained tests with pore
pressure measurements and the isotropically consolidated drained tests.
Comparisons have been made between the different tests results. Also included in the study was an analysis of the AIT road embankment. |
