Index qualities help with fine-grained soil identification,
categorization, and behavior assessment. The fine-grained soil's bearing
capacity, swelling, compaction, shear strength, and shrinkage characteristics
are all impacted by index properties.
This paper deals with the assessment of index properties of
artificially prepared fine-grained soil mixtures (Kaolinite- Sand Mixtures and
Bentonite-Sand Mixtures of varying proportions). The experimental data analysis
of artificially prepared soils representing the natural fine-grained soils
having extreme clay mineralogical composition is a value addition to the
existing literature and is useful in predicting data for natural fine-grained
soils having kaolinite and montmorillonite clay dominance.
An attempt to correlate the index properties with natural soil has
been made in this study. The studies showed that Atterberg limits of the soil
under study can be correlated (with respective clay size) linearly with a fair
degree of accuracy. These correlations are helpful in predicting the index
properties of soils.
