A Study on the Compressibility Characteristics of Kanto Loam

Abstract

Kanto Loam is softend by remolding, therefore if it is banked, fears will be entertained for the settlement in consequence of compression. We have considered by means of experiment the relation between remolding and compressibility characteristics of Kanto Loam, and this paper descrives that settlement characteristics of remolded Kanto Loam is much influenced by destruction of soil structure and transformation of confined water into free water.
