A Study on the Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Dispersive Soils = 이산토(離散土)의 물리적(物理的)·화학적(化學的) 특성(特性)에 관한 연구(研究)

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Tests for the physical and chemical properties on the dispersive soils from the 3 selected sites in the northeast region of Thailand were carried out in the field and laboratory. In oder to find out the relationship between c1ay contents and dispersivity of the soil, some specimens are artificially mixed with a certain amount of clay in the laboratory and tested by means of pinhole tests. The artificial soils are dispersed in pinhole tests regardless of their clay contents. Chemical properties on the soil saturation extract and reservoir water are also determined by means of sodium adsorption ratio (SA,R), exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and pH. The dispersive soils in the region have ranges of 1.8~6.7 SAR, 1.4~7.9 ESP and 5.4~9.0 pH value. Namely, the dispersive soils studied have somewhat higher SAR, ESP and pH value than those of ordinary soil.
