Abstract

This study employs swelling deformation test for estimating the fractal dimension of salt-modified bentonite soil by measuring the void ratio of montmorillonite (em) and the effective stress (pe). For the compacted Tsukinuno bentonite, a typical Na-montmorillonite, the fractal dimension is tested by the swelling deformation test conducted in sodium chloride solutions with different concentrations. According to the results, the fractal dimension of the specimens is essentially constant irrespective of the concentration of inundating NaCl solution. The strong correlation of the results from the swelling deformation test with those from the nitrogen adsorption test indicates that the swelling deformation test is an effective laboratory method for testing the fractal dimension of compacted bentonite in salt solution.
