Abstract

Expansive soils are highly problematic as they have tendency to increase in volume on absorption of water and to shrink on evaporation of water. The volume increase, if resisted by any structure resting on it; then vertical swelling pressure is exerted on structure. This pressure if not controlled may cause uplifting and distress in the structure. Due to this behavior, many civil engineering structures constructed on expansive soil get severely distress. In this study effect of fine clay and silt on swelling pressure of expansive clays would be studied by performing swelling pressure on Bentonite which is a resemblance of pure clay through consolidation apparatus method on addition of silt and find sand in different proportions.
