Influence of Drying-Wetting Cycles on the Compressibility of Clay Soils in the Commune of Houeyogbe
Abstract:This article presents the results of an experimental laboratory study carried out with the odometer and the Richards press on a class A3 clay soil sample that had undergone drying-wetting cycles. These tests allowed us to analyze in fine the influence of the drying-wetting cycles on the compressibility and suction behavior of the soil object of our study.
This study reveals that the drying-wetting cycles have a certain influence on clay soils. Indeed, the compressibility index of the soil increases while the … Show more
