Influence of Clay Fraction and Mineral Composition on Unsaturated Characteristics of Cohesive Foundation Soil in Airports

Taking unsaturated clay foundation soil of an airport project in Hefei as the research object, the effects of particle gradation and mineral composition on the unsaturated soil properties were analyzed through two kinds of tests. The results show that there is a good correlation between the residual...

description Taking unsaturated clay foundation soil of an airport project in Hefei as the research object, the effects of particle gradation and mineral composition on the unsaturated soil properties were analyzed through two kinds of tests. The results show that there is a good correlation between the residual water content and the clay fraction or silt fraction content in the grading, and the residual water content has a significant positive linear correlation with the clay fraction content, but a negative linear correlation with the silt fraction content. Residual matric suction has a nonlinear correlation with clay fraction or silt fraction content in gradation, which has a significant nonlinear negative correlation with clay fraction content and a positive nonlinear correlation with silt fraction content. The residual water content and the residual matric suction have obvious linear relationship with the content of montmorillonite but have no obvious correlation with the content of illite. The water-storage coefficient of unsaturated airfield foundation soil decreases exponentially with the increase of clay content and montmorillonite content.
