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...
