Hydraulic conductivity in loessic stabilized soil

Abstract

The loessic soils are the main geological storage available as a building material in Córdoba, Argentina. Infiltration test were done using remoulded samples and a flexible Wall permeameter. Water content, dry unit weight, and percentages of ionic stabilizer and bentonite have been studied. Experiment results were compared between mixtures with different percentages of additives. The results show the reduction of hydraulic properties of local soils to improve geotechnical structures.
