Study on the Compressibility of the Silt in Hangzhou, China

Article Preview

Abstract:

To investigate the compressibility of the silt, three soil samples are collected from Xiasha zone, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. The geotechnical engineering parameters of the silt soil are measured in the soil mechanics laboratory. Tests results show that the uniformity coefficient of the silt is 13.6, the natural density is 1.96t/m3, the moisture content is 17.0%, the plasticity index is 9.4, the compression coefficient varies from 0.06 to 0.40MPa-1, and the compression index varies from 0.015 to 0.108. Finally, the properties of the compression are studied, and find that the compressibility of the silt soil is very large, and the relationship between the initial void ratio and the logarithm pressure is linear.
