Ability of Mixed Soil Technique

Abstract

The design of mixed soil model requires determination of appropriate quantities of various component of model, which are soils, gravels, sand and water content to get a model with desirable properties. 31 mixed soil models were developed and effect of moisture, percentage of soils, gravels and sand on unit weight, angle of friction, cohesive and bearing capacity have been evaluated. The results revealed that mixed soil behavior has direct correlation with its composition and it would control soil foundation ability
