Investigation the Impacts of Fuel Oil on the Geotechnical Properties of Cohesive Soil

Abstract: The present study investigates the impacts of fuel oil (MFO) on the chemical, physical and mechanical properties of cohesive soil. The contaminant is fuel oil disposed as byproduct from the fuel feeding the electricity power plant at the campus of University of Baghdad in Baghdad/Iraq. The soil sample are obtained from the same site of electricity plant and classified according to unified soil classification system (USCS) as silty clay of low plasticity (CL). The soil samples are artificially contaminated with… Show more

“…The SS value at all depths increased for GCS at Mapo compared to CS, while a significant increase in SS value was noticed in Isolu GCS at 0.5 m depth. Our result is in contrast with reduced SS obtained by Rahman et al (2013) for surfactant-enriched silty soils as well as that of Karskush and Kareem (2017) who reported decrease in SS in fuel oil-contaminated soils.…”

“…1: Location of the Kuwait oil fields (Aldaihani et al, 2018) Fig. 2: Kuwait's ecosystem has suffered long-term damage as a result of oil lakes and fires (Aldaihani, 2017) Asem et al (2016) recognise that oil spills cause large-scale contamination of soil, altering its geotechnical properties and furthermore Karkusha and Abdul Kareemb (2017) advise that soil contamination caused by oil spills (above certain levels) leads to the loss of some of the soil's geotechnical properties, to the detriment of structures built upon it. The effect of mixing different amount of oil to sand on its internal friction angle (φ) was investigated by Khamehchiyan et al (2007), Al-Sanad et al (1995), Singh et al (2009), Taqieddin (2017) and Shin et al (1999).…”
