| Abstract | Most of the collapsible soil are discovered in dry and semi-arid regions or areas. This kind of soil is unsaturated soil and it is characterized by metastable structure. When soils are experienced large volume loss during inundation with or without additional load were iden- tified as collapsible soil. These changes have caused a dangerous problem in the structures. This paper describes the outcomes of an experimental study of collapsible soils using con- solidation instruments(oedometer). The magnitude of collapse of a certain soil depends on the amount of vertical applied stress, soil composition, moisture content and dry density. Soil collapse classification based on various dry densities and vertical applied stress have been presented in this report to predict the potential for collapse. The results received from consolidation test clearly exhibit the effect of dry density and compaction energy on collapse rate and magnitude. |
