Research Experience (1999-2000):
Texas A&M University
College Station, Texas
Research conducted on potential mitigation of volumetric change in expansive soil stratum. Research conducted in the Texas A & M University to reduce and mitigate the shrink –swell potential problem of expansive soil in response to change in water content in the soil. Expansive soil containing fine particle like clay are subjected to change in moisture content attribute significant volumetric change of soil in the cycle of dry –wet or thaw process. The shrink and swell potential behavior cause differential settlement in the foundation leading to crack in foundation. Uneven settlement in pavement and grade on slab are predominant in the region where sub grade contains large amount of fine particle like clay and silt. The research conducted based on laboratory test and field investigation. Comparative study had demonstrated to predict the shrink-swell potential of expansive soil. Research had shown using chemical injection into soil stratum reduced the potential shrink swell behavior of the expansive soil.
Field experiment had been performed on several footings to measure the uneven settlement as a result of shrink swell due to variation of water content and chemical injection in cohesive soil. The field values are compared with laboratory test result. The variation of measured, computed and laboratory tests results are minimal to moderate.
