Provides information on physico-chemical interactions and theirtest methods. Chemical changes in soil such as pH, lime additions,salinity, and their effects on physical properties (such asmechanical behavior, swelling, compressibility, plasticity, andstrength) are discussed in detail.

14 peer-reviewed papers cover:

• lime and lime-like materials

• bentonite/natural clay

• and general soil tests.

For geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers, civilengineers, professors.
