Grain diffusion and dispersion properties of clayey soils taken from Boğaçay Antalya

As clayey soils get compressed, settled and reach to a more compact state by means of consolidation, they are subjected to grain diffusion and dispersion. considering this phenomenon, information can be obtained on both settlement properties and time rates of settlement of soils. percentages of dry unit weight variations before and after a consolidation process and plasticity properties of soils appear to be two important aspects in dispersion and grain diffusion. in this study, clayey soils obtained from boğaçay antalya are evaluated in terms of grain diffusion and dispersion by means of performing consolidation tests. obtained results of the experiments are compared to theoretical counterparts and related comments are given. by that means, diffusive and dispersive characteristic of the region in a consolidation process is defined.
