High-plasticity clays can be stabilized by the addition of a small percentage of sodium silicate. Sixteen mixtures of 4000 g with different concentrations of sodium silicate at difference percentage were designed, to which were carried out physical, mechanical and chemical characterization tests that allowed to analyze the behavior at intervals of time. Physical, mechanical and chemical properties of the soil were evaluated. Using stabilization with sodium silicate in high plasticity clays, changes in the physical, mechanical, and chemical parameters of the soil were achieved. Having satisfactory results with 3% saturation, optimal concentration, at time intervals of 2 days and 1 month; Then as time passes the soil tries to return to its initial properties, which establishes that the concentration of the Silicate and its effect on the physical and mechanical properties of the soil should be checked over a longer time interval. Studying the physical, mechanical, and chemical parameters of high plasticity clays by adding multiples mixtures of sodium silicate contributes to the understanding of the soil behavior on the pressure condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
