Description
Summary: | Consolidation properties of bentonite-sand mixtures, as reclamation materials, were investigated in the one-dimensional consolidation test. From the relationships between the void ratio of nonclay fraction and consolidation pressure was found the existence of a threshold void ratio at which the frictional resistance becomes dominant during consolidation. The threshold value is slightly greater than the maximum void ratio of sand used for the mixtures
