Evaluation of Change in Structure of Expansive Soils upon Swelling Using Electrical Resistivity Measurements
This paper introduces an electrical resistivity method into the microstructure study on clayey soils and evaluates its effectiveness. The swelling tests were performed on the undisturbed expansive soil samples with a modified oedometer consolidation cell, the vertical and horizontal electrical resistivity was measured at the same time during swelling. The electrical parameters, such as the average formation factor, the electrical anisotropy index and the average shape factor were then calculated and studied. Experimental results showed the effectiveness of electrical resistivity method in quantitative studying on the microstructure change of expansive soils during swelling.
