Title

ENHANCEMENT OF COLLAPSE BEHAVIOUR OF UNSATURATED KAOLIN GRADED COMPACTED CLAY USING XANTHAN GUM

Abstract

Collapsible soils are any unsaturated soil that goes through a radical rearrangement of particles and greatly decreases in volume upon wetting, additional loading, or both. Wetting under load weakens the cementation, reduces the soil suction, and causes collapse. Collapsible potential test is performed under wet mix condition as per ASTM D533. Soil suction is one of the most important stress variables describing the behaviour of the unsaturated soils. The filter paper method calculates soil suction indirectly by measuring the gravimetric water content of filter paper as per ASTM D5298. In this study, the effect of matric suction in collapse behaviour of unsaturated compacted clay was determined and also investigates the possibility of using xanthan gum to enhance the behaviour of collapsible soil. Xanthan gum have stable behaviour under severe conditions and available with reasonable prices. It is found out that collapse potential varied inversely proportional to matric suction and flooding pressure upto OMC. It is found that xanthan gum can be used as an improving material for collapsible soil treatment. The collapsible potential has been reduced significantly when mixing the clay with 2% xanthan gum in the wet mix condition. It is found that there is a 4% reduction in OMC when xanthan gum is added, thereby suction increases with decrease in collapse potential.

Key Words
