Water Content Distribution of Binary Soil Mixtures

Abstract

Binary soil mixtures are mostly used for liner materials. The most common binary mixture is compacted sand bentonite mixture; lately compacted zeolite bentonite mixture is also proposed. The major difference between sand and zeolite is that, sand is an impervious grain where zeolite is a pervious, microporous grain. Additionally, zeolite holds water whereas sand does not. Thus, when bentonite is blended with zeolite, the mixtures is expected to behave different than it’s blended with sand. Unfortunately, this major difference is rarely of interest by researchers and zeolite water content was used to be assumed to be zero like sand. This study investigates the water content distribution of components in binary mixtures namely, zeolite bentonite mixture and sand bentonite mixture. During the tests, it is assumed that sand had no water content. The saturated state water content of zeolite for varying grain sizes was found to be 28% and zeolite and bentonite are found to be in competition to hold water. Test results showed that zeolite water content increases slightly up to the optimum water content of the mixture, reaches a maximum value and then starts to decrease rapidly. The water content of bentonite in zeolite bentonite mixture and sand bentonite mixture is found to be almost the same between the dry of optimum and optimum compaction states and when the mixtures are in wet of optimum compaction state the water content of bentonite in zeolite bentonite mixture is getting to be higher than it is in sand bentonite mixture.
