Empirical Correlations for the Swelling Pressure of Expansive Clays in the City of Barranquilla, Colombia

Swelling behavior of clays is of great importance for numerous engineering applications due to the prevalence of expansive clays around the world. Expansive clays are present in Mexico City, United States, Australia, Africa and South America, among others. In some cases, these types of clays could p...

description Swelling behavior of clays is of great importance for numerous engineering applications due to the prevalence of expansive clays around the world. Expansive clays are present in Mexico City, United States, Australia, Africa and South America, among others. In some cases, these types of clays could present swell pressure values greater than 400 kPa. In this technical note, correlation equations are developed to estimate the swell pressure of clays using laboratory tests performed on swelling clays in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. Correlations are based on Atterberg limits and water content among other soil properties. Equations with statistically significant coefficients were selected and compared with equations found in the literature. Developed correlations evidenced that swell pressure decays quickly as water content increases. It was found that for the studied soils, Atterberg Limits did not present statistical significance in the estimation of swell pressure.

Arcillas con este tipo de comportamiento se encuentran presentes en diversas regiones del mundo como la ciudad de México, los Estados Unidos, Australia, algunas zonas de África y Sudamérica, entre otras. Este tipo de arcillas pueden presentar en algunos casos presiones de expansión superiores a los 400 kPa. En la presente nota técnica se desarrollan correlaciones para estimar la presión de expansión de arcillas con base en ensayos de laboratorio practicados a arcillas con comportamiento expansivo presentes en la ciudad de Barranquilla, Colombia. Las correlaciones desarrolladas se basan en los límites de Atterberg y contenido de humedad, entre otras propiedades de los suelos. Se seleccionaron aquellas ecuaciones que presentaban coeficientes estadísticamente significativos y se realizaron comparaciones con correlaciones presentes en la literatura. Las correlaciones mostraron que la presión de expansión decae rápidamente a medida que el contenido de humedad aumenta. Además, se observó que para los suelos estudiados los límites de Atterberg no son estadísticamente significativos para la estimación de la presión de expansión.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Ciencias - Departamento de Geocienciahttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/esrj/article/view/60226Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Earth Sciences Research JournalEarth Sciences Research JournalCantillo, Victor and Mercado, Vicente and Pájaro, César (2017) Empirical Correlations for the Swelling Pressure of Expansive Clays in the City of Barranquilla, Colombia.
