| dc.description.abstract | Environmental Geotechnology has emerged as an interdisciplinary science, aiming and forecasting, analyzing and solving the geotechnical problems involving the influence of environmental factors. Lateritic soil of west coast region of India was studied to investigate the effect of soaking on the engineering properties and chemical characteristics of soil, soaked in different pH solutions (pH = 5.0, pH = 7.0, pH = 8.0). 12 N hydrochloric acid and 15 M ammonia solution were used to monitor the pH of the solution for about ninety days. Results showed that the pH of the solution has strong influence on the chemical characteristics of lateritic soil. The engineering properties of soil are altered when compared with the initial characteristics of the soil. The reason for this observed behavior of the soil is addressed in this paper. 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. | en_US |
