Influence of Magnetized Water on the Geotechnical Properties of Expansive Soil
The expansive soil is characterized by increasing its volume when subjected to water. The expansion of soil mostly resulted from the presence of clay minerals such as montmorillonite. The technology of magnetized water was used in many fields such as agriculture, industry, and other sciences. In the present study, the influence of potable water treated by reverse osmosis and passing from magnetic fields of different intensities (500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 Gauss) on the chemical and swelling properties of expansive soil have been investigated in details. Based on the results of experimental tests, the magnetized water helps in mitigating the expansion potential of expansive soil. The liquid limit was reduced from 113 to 72% and the plastic limit was reduced from 55 to 22%, free swelling of the soil was reduced from 33.7 to 25.4%, and the uplift movement of soil was reduced from 21.66 to 14.25 mm. Also, the unconfined compressive strength of soil was increased from 26.36 to 49.49 kPa at a water content of 32% and from 120 to 224 kPa at a water content of 22% with increasing the intensity of the magnetic field with a small increase in the strain corresponding to the unconfined compressive strength at failure was noticed. The technology of magnetized water is one of the methods that can be resigned within the sustainable definition to be used in geotechnical engineering.
