THE EFFECT OF MIXING SEQUENCE ON UNCONFINED COMPRESSION STRENGTH OF CLAYSTONE-BENTONITE MIXTURES ON HIGH DENSITY
Abstract
Claystone is generally considered a material that has poor properties. This is because the shear strength is very low when interacting with water. However, it turns out that claystone can be used as a basic ingredient for making clay liners. In addition to permeability, claystone is mixed with bentonite to increase its cohesion. However, because both samples contain clay, each sample will absorb water and affect the shear strength. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the steps of adding water on the shear strength of a mixture of claystone and bentonite compacted with different levels of bentonite at high density.
There are four combinations of claystone mixtures with different bentonite percentages namely 5, 10, 15 and 20% based on dry weight with a density above the Proctor standard (i.e. density of 1.8 gr/cm3). In mixing soil samples with water, the steps taken are (1) (claystone+water)+bentonite, and (2) (bentonite+water)+claystone. The mixture was compacted statically to form a test object with a diameter of 4.7 cm and a height of 9.45 cm. The sample was then tested for shear strength with the undrained compressive strength (UCT) test. The results were compared with other previously reported mixing methods (claystone+bentonite)+water.
From the analysis it was found that the shear strength of the samples prepared from all mixed methods at a density of 1.8 gr/cm3 met the requirements as a clay liner. The test results also show that the sample compacted by the (claystone+water)+bentonite method produces the highest shear strength. Considering these results, it is suggested that the sample mixing method is by stages (claystone+water)+bentonite.
