“…The British cone [25] specifies a 30°/80 g cone and a 20 mm penetration depth at the liquid limit, while the Swedish cone specifies a 60°/60 g cone and a 10 mm penetration depth at the liquid limit. However, both types of cone penetration tests provide approximately the same results [7,26]. While the liquid limit values are calculated with greater confidence, it is hard to make same comment for the plastic limit.…”

In geotechnical engineering applications, it is very important to obtain the undrained shear strength of remolded soils accurately and reliably. This study aims to obtain a trustworthy solution to determine the undrained shear strength of remolded clay mixtures using Atterberg limit test results in various states of consistency. An experimental study was carried out involving a wide range of clay mixtures of varying plasticity and geological origin. In the analyses, the variation of the remolded undrained shear strength depending on the cone penetration depth, water content, flow index, liquidity index and log liquidity index were investigated. In the study, the highest undrained shear strength of 100% Na-montmorillonite (NaM) was obtained at 171.89 kPa at 56.60% water content, while the lowest undrained shear strength was obtained for 100% Sepiolite (S), 9.28 kPa at 31.65% water content. The results of this study revealed that the shear strength is significantly affected by soil conditions, rather than dominant clay mineral. Besides, it was observed that the undrained shear strength at the plastic limit was approximately 30-35 times greater than that at liquid limit. The equations of liquid limit-flow index and plasticity index- flow index were proposed. It was concluded that the interdependence between undrained shear strength, liquidity index, log liquidity index, and flow index is not unique due to the different physical and chemical properties of clays.

“…According to table 2, Esfarayen soil has high percentage of clay, which should have high adhesion. Due to the Table 3, PI of samples is low that shows shortage of clay percentage (Karakan, 2022). This conflict can be caused by particles in clay dimensions (Kleyn et al, 2009).…”

Abstract“Belqis” is a historical and archeological site located in Khourasan province in northeast of Iran close to the city of Esfarayen. This study was conducted to consider the composition of the soil used to make the adobe in these structures, which has been exposed to deterioration processes followed by accelerate erosion. In response to this problem, Zeolite was used as an additive to improve soil quality. The finegrained soil texture is full of sand and silt with small amounts of clay. Zeolites has been used in the study in the form of granules (maximum 5 mm). X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) used to define chemical composition and crystalline phase. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used for Determination surface characteristics and morphology. The presence of sand in the soil of the region and its decrease in adhesion is the reason for the decrease the compressive strength of clay. The results showed that the amount of 6% zeolite is most effective in improving the compressive strength of adobe. This amount of zeolite increases the compressive strength of clay compared to the samples without zeolite.

“…Several studies have been carried out in recent years to understand the plasticity behavior of clays using the Atterberg and Pfefferkorn methods (Crozetta et al, 2016;Karakan & Demir, 2018; https://doi.org/10.1180/clm.2023.9 Published online by Cambridge University Press Shimobe & Sezer, 2020;Karakan & Demir, 2020;Karakan, 2022a;Karakan 2022b) and, more recently, the indentation method. Doménech et al (1994) evaluated the plasticity of ceramic compositions using the indentation method and determined that the liquid limit (LL) and the plastic limit (PL) can be obtained for consistencies (applied force) of 1 and 46 N, respectively.…”
