An Oedometer-Based Method for Preparing Reconstituted Clay Samples

Abstract:

It is well known that the mechanical behavior of the natural intact soft clay is usually quite different from that of the reconstituted counterpart. Hence, how to predict the influences of soil structure on the mechanical behavior of natural clays is an important issue in geotechnical engineering.The mechanical behavior of structured soils can usually be quantitatively assessed based on the mechanical behavior obtained from corresponding reconstituted clays. The preparing method for reconstituted soils will affect the quality of reconstituted samples greatly, and therefore, affect their mechanical parameter. To guarantee the quality of reconstituted soil samples, a large diameter oedometer apparatus is developed. Also, an oedomer-based method for preparing reconstituted clay samples is proposed. Typical soft Lianyungang city clay from China is chosen to testify the methods and corresponding procedures. The feasibility of the improved method is confirmed by comparing its results with those of the normal oedometer test.
