Study on the Geotechnical Engineering Properties of Polluted Soil

Abstract:

To investigate the geotechnical engineering properties of polluted soil, ten soil samples are collected from Anqing copper ore, Anhui Province, China. The geotechnical engineering parameters of the polluted soil are measured in the soil mechanics laboratory. Tests results show that the natural density varies from 1.56 to 2.04t/m³, the moisture content varies from 15.36% to 27.87%, the modulus of the compression varies from 1.27 to 8.10MPa, the cohesion force varies from 32 to 210kPa, and the internal friction angle varies from 25.4 to 57.9 degree. Finally, the properties of the shear strength and the compression are studied, and find that the compressibility of the polluted soil is very big, and the relationship between shear strength and the normal pressure conforms to the law of Coulomb.
