- Description
- The behaviour of fine-grained soils can be attributed to their mineral composition and the amount of fines present in them. The present study aims to determine the effect of mineral composition and quantity of fines on the Atterberg limits and compaction characteristics and to determine the correlation between them. Two types of fine-grained artificial soil mixtures were prepared in the laboratory representing kaolinitic and montmorillonitic mineral compositions.The amount of fines was varied at 10% intervals, from 50 to 100%. The Atterberg limits like liquid limit, plastic limit, shrinkage limit, and compaction characteristics like maximum dry density (MDD) and optimum moisture content (OMC) for two compaction energy levels, i.e. standard proctor (SP) and modified proctor (MP) tests, were determined. The correlations were developed between percentage fines and Atterberg limits and similarly between percentage fines, Atterberg limits, and compaction characteristics for artificial mix proportions. The developed correlations were used to predict the properties of natural soil samples, and the predicted and actual values are compared. 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
