Geotechnical properties of calcrete soil (Gatch) in Kuwait
Abstract This paper presents the results of a comprehensive laboratory testing program carried out to study the geotechnical properties of gatch (calcrete soil) samples. A total of 17 samples collected from 17 different sites in Kuwait City and its suburbs were used for the study. The testing program included determination of physical, index and engineering properties of gatch samples. The sensitivity of various geotechnical properties of compacted gatch was examined by testing specimens at various moisture contents and also at different soaking periods.
