Abstract

This paper attempts to resolve a general concept of soil rheology from the standpoint of clay mineralogy, ion-exchange, properties of clay-water systems, and volume relationships existing between clay-water systems and granular structures. Both theory and experimental data are presented.

In the experimental phase, synthetic soils of varying clay contents were prepared from carefully fractionated soil constituents. These were subjected to combined-stress analyses, tests for plasticity characteristics, and detenninations of other physical properties.
