Experiment and evaluation of compaction characteristics of sodium sulfate saline soil
A proper degree of compactness is very important for reducing the dilatancy and collapsibility of sulfate saline soil foundation. To investigate the compaction characteristics
the microstructure characteristics of sodium sulfate saline soil with different preparation conditions were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is found that the compaction characteristics and microstructure characteristics of sodium sulfate saline soil after compaction are related to the state of sodium sulfate in soil. As sodium sulfate solution possesses lubrication
the compaction characteristic of sodium sulfate saline soil is significantly improved as salt content increases. After the soil is compacted
the soil aggregates are mostly thin layers with smooth surface
and the soil has a rhyotaxitic mosaic structure. However
sodium sulfate decahydrate acts like a scaffold in the soil
the increase of salt content reduces significantly the compaction characteristics of sodium sulfate saline soil. After compaction
the soil aggregates are tiny and round
and the soil has a net-like open structure. The effect of sample pretreatment method and curing time on the compactness of sodium sulfate saline soil are analyzed
and the evaluation method for the compactness is suggested.
