| Title of the article | The investigation of the effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizer on the physical and strength properties of clay soils with different mineral composition |
| Abstract. | Investigations of the influence of a number of polycarboxylate superplasticizers on the physical and mechanical properties of clay soils were done. As clay soils were considered: the silty easy loam with containing of relict minerals more than 85 % (52,49 % quartz), the kaolinic clay with containing of the mineral kaolinite up to 95 %, the bentonite clay with containing of montmorillonite up to 70 %. As the physical properties were chosen the fluidity and rolling-out limit, the optimum moisture content and the maximum density, strength – the ultimate compressive strength. Data on changes in the properties with the introduction of polycarboxylate superplasticizers was got. The most effective polycarboxylate superplasticizer showed maximum efficiency. It determined that in the ground with the most clay minerals traced greater influence these additives, especially in case of kaolinic clay. Adsorption surface-active reagents on clay minerals surfactants in clay-water system lets to reduce the surface energy on the interface, thereby increasing the density by decreasing the water requirement (optimum moisture content), lower fluidity and rolling-out limit, and ultimately increase the strength of the soil. The positive effect of polycarboxylate superplasticizers both the physical and mechanical properties of the cement stone, and on physical and mechanical properties of clay soils explains the increase in the strength and hardiness soil-cements modified such additives. |
