This study examines the brittleness index and sensitivity ratio of two gypseous sand soils under saturation conditions improved by nano-clay. The soil samples were obtained from the cities of Al-Najaf and Tikrit containing 29% and 55% gypsum, respectively. The tests were performed on remolded specimens in a direct shear box. The soil specimens were examined mainly under saturated conditions for both different soil and nano-clay contents (0, 2, 5, and 7 %) under three normal stress levels: 25, 50, and 100 kPa. Additional tests were performed under dry soil conditions for comparison. The calculations of the brittleness index and sensitivity ratio of the saturated soil specimens were dependent on the newly suggested definitions of the peak values of the shear stress. The tP is the peak value in the dry condition, whereas the tR is the peak value in the saturation condition. The results emphasize that the values of the brittleness index and sensitivity ratio require more attention to the possibility that the soil is brittle owing to increased gypsum dissolution and the demolition of the soil structure. The brittleness index and sensitivity ratio increased with increasing gypsum content and decreased with increasing nano-clay content and average stress levels. The optimum percentage of nano-clay for both soil specimens was found to be 5%.
