Abstract
:
ABSTRACT: Nearly all naturally occurring soil formations are being created from rock by weathering or are being turned back into rock by the process of lithification.The nature of lithification determines a material that may range between those of soil and rock. The literature have been directed to categorizing this transitional border line material into soil-like and rock-like types. Many of these types are unsaturated with a certain degree of lithification and associated with geotechnical problems. These problems are due to their tendency to volume change and mobilization of swelling or collapse. The present research aims at integrating the behavior of the material into the framework of unsaturated soil mechanics. Based on testing of 72 samples representing a wide range of soil properties, prediction charts were constructed. The proposed charts were investigated by testing 29 undisturbed samples representing a variety of transitional border line deposits and their deformations were measured. A very good agreement was found between measured and predicted values.
