Comparative Study of Various Soils Upon Addition of Different Materials on the Basis of Hydraulic Conductivity Parameter

Abstract

While selecting various additives for different soils in the process of stabilisation or reinforcement, one must also think upon the variations occurring in the permeability parameter because of the after-effect of addition of additives so as to ensure that well drainage function is being maintained within the soil mass. If not, the clogging of pores following the condition of water logging may result as the adverse effect of adding additives. In the present article, the change in hydraulic conductivity has been studied upon different type of soils with different additives.
