Prediction of Collapsible Behavior of Red Soils
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Red soils make the construction of foundations extremely difficult in its natural state. It may cause high differential movements in structures through collapse settlement on saturation. This phenomenon is primarily related to the open structure of red soils. Identifying these soils in the field can reduce the risk of distress usually reported in buildings and roads. These soils can withstand relatively high pressure without significant change in volume on drying, by wetting they are suspected with sudden reduction in volume. In this context an attempt was made on 6 red soils to relate the collapsibility behavior of the soils by considering initial water content, dry density, saturation moisture content, liquid limit, void ratios as parameters and compared with various exciting collapsibility theories.
