        Soil reinforcement can be considered as the combination of two parts. One part is soil for compressive stress capacity and another part is some material such as geosynthetics such as steel belts and fibers for tensile stress capacity. Soil improvement is one of the useful methods to increase the strength parameters of the soil. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of GFRP on the bearing capacity, shear strength, and permeability of clayey soil. For this purpose, the length of GFRP is selected 10 mm and amount of GFRP are 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1% that mixed randomly with clay. Mixture specimens prepared using the optimum water content. Bearing capacity of specimens measured by unconfined compressive test and direct shear test. Also, Permeability parameter assessed based on the falling head permeability test. Results of this study showed that with mixing GFRP up to 0.8% increases the clay bearing capacity and flexibility. Although with continuing to add GFRP the bearing capacity decrease, the clay permeability using GFRP is increased. تفاصيل المقالة

        The swelling potential is the most important factor on engineering and agricultural design of foundations on fine-grained soils which it can be cause expansion problems for these structures. So, providing the suitable views of swelling condition can help to solid designs. The presented paper, tried to understand the clayey soil’s swelling potential related to Marageh city in East Azerbaijan Province, NW of Iran; by using comprehensive laboratory tests (concluded 25 samples from 10 different sampling location) which included physicochemical properties, USDA class of soil and clay mineralogical aspects. The experiment results was used by regression analysis for formulate the swelling based on laboratory indexes (i.e., water absorption, porosity, density, Gs, SO4-, Cl-, pH, Casagrande limits, UCS, XRD and clay content). According to the analysis results, the studied soil’s (where classified as clay, clay loam and silty clay) swelling status is varied and located in moderate to high potential تفاصيل المقالة

        The surface sediments in Mahshahr Port area are mainly consist of soft clayey soils. These soils have considerable strength in dray condition but as their moisture content moves up to saturated level a notable decrease in their strength is observed. This reduction, in turn, leads to decrease of California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and increase in soil settlement which consequently results in vast and destructive deformation in the surrounding buildings. In this research, the addition of cement and lime to the soil is considered to evaluate their effect of the soil strength by performing unconfined compressive (UCS) and Atterberg Limits tests. In this procedure, different ratios of lime and cement mixture (0.0 %, 2 %, 4 %, 6 %, 8 %, 10 %, and 15 %) with various curing times is considered. The results of these tests revealed that compressive strength of soft clay decreases by adding lime or cement due to disturbing its initial structure. This decrease of strength is induced by high sensitivity of the soil, however as the time passes compressive strength of the cement-added samples rapidly grows; as compressive strength in modified samples with 6 % cement and curing time of above 3 days has increased compared to undisturbed samples and their plasticity index has decreased. On the other hand, compressive strength of samples modified by lime gradually increased, as adding 6 % lime to the soil and applying curing time of 28 days did not lead to increase of their compressive strength compared to undisturbed soil samples and their plasticity index decreased. تفاصيل المقالة
