The study presents the test results of stabilizing gypseous soil embankment obtained fromAl- Faluja university Campus at Al-Ramady province. laboratory investigation was dividedinto three phases, physical and chemical properties, optimum liquid asphalt (emulsion)requirements (which are manufactured in Iraq) were determined by using one dimensionalunconfined compression strength test.in first ph...

Abstract Collapsible soils are almost found in unsaturated states and involved significant engineering problems. Geotechnical challenges of such represented by the hydro-mechanical behaviour during wetting–drying cycles due to humidity climate conditions. The main objective this paper is investigate soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) collapsible soils. In study, three types were investigate...

This study includes the effect of lime addition on engineering properties gypseous soil taken from a part Najaf- Karbla plateau (52, 48, 72% gypsum). Also this shows increase in proportion gypsum northwest direction area. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content (2.065, 2.025 2.003) at 15%, 14% 15% respectively for three samples. The maximum decrease while increases with increasing rati...

Abstract The time-dependent behavior of three gypseous soils was investigated. had gypsum content 66%, 44%, and 14.8%. mineralogical chemical properties the were determined. Two series tests performed. In first, collapsibility characteristics investigated for a long period (60 days) by conducting single double oedometer tests. second series, effect relative density on collapse with time samples...
