Abstract:
Two separate laboratory investigations were conducted 1 to examine further the capabilities of certain selected soil additives, indicated to have potential in a previous study, to waterproof several soils ranging from a silt to a plastic, heavy clay and 2 to make preliminary evaluations of the effectiveness and potential of a number of previously untested formulations in satisfying requirements for soil waterproofers for military purposes. In the extended investigation of selected materials, both an unmodified and a chemically modified kerosene-cutback asphalt MC-O, a silicone salt, aniline-furfural, a fatty quaternary salt, and a commercial road oil were employed as treatments for five soil types. The water-resistance characteristics of compacted treated specimens were examined by means of a capillary-rise wetting test conducted through four cycles of alternate drying and wetting. The water-resistance capability of treated soil specimens of a lean and a heavy clay was determined through only a single cycle of drying and wetting. Author
