Changes in the Basic Index Properties of Clays in Relation to the Content of Diatoms

Abstract:

In the framework of the research project of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic TA 02011350 “Investigation of properties of diatomaceous clays and methods for improving their structure", clay properties have been investigated depending on the content of diatoms. To investigate the effects of diatom microfossil content on the index properties of clay soils, measuring tests were performed on cohesive soils with different diatom microfossils content.
