| Abstract | The study investigate the chemical mineralogical and
physical properties of loess deposits, mudstone and grave l bed
outcropping in the sections in Khorat province . In study area
loess deposit is the youngest. deposit and is found to be ample
in the area . Th e results showed that montmorillonite was
dominant and other clay minerals occur as traces or found in
small amounts in all natural depo sits. The environment of
section No .l has a high content of absorbed cations in a
sequence o f Na+ , ca+ but low content of k+ . In section No . 2 ,
the sequence change to Na+ , Mg++ and ca++ while the content of
K+ is the same in as section No. 1 . It is noticeable that the
environments are favorable for the formation of
montmorillonite. The high content of Na+ abs orbed irons and
high content of montmorillonite result in a very high swelling
potential and high liquid limits in mudstones. |
