Characterization of Soil Properties and the Implications for Landslide Occurrence in Rubanda District. by Ainamaani, Samuel

“…And from the plasticity charts the PI and LL results reveals that the soils are clay of high plasticity and this signals chances of landslides Soil particle distribution The clay fraction for the soil were above 10% threshold identified from the analysis of the soil samples from the respective test pits as shown in the table below, this explains higher possibilities of extreme expansion potential and hence susceptible to land slides The bearing capacity of soil was determined as 250.825 kN/M3.When compared with the safe Safe/allowable bearing capacity of Soft rock 440kN/M3, the bearing capacity of soil is too low indicating high chance of collapsible soil.…”

Effect of filling materials on reclaimed soil potassium adsorption and desorption in mining area by Kexin JING, Zhoubin DONG, Huaizhi BO, Zhiliang WANG, Shaohao HU, Xinju LI, Xiangyu MIN

“…MGS and HN exhibit greater adsorption capacity due to their larger specific surface area, clay content, and cation exchange capacity. However, they are mainly irreversible adsorption due to their high illite and —OH content, which can be mitigated by grinding and sieving the filling materials to reduce particle size and adjusting the pH appropriately; HHS has a lower adsorption and desorption capacity due to its small specific surface area, clay content, and cation exchange capacity, which can be improved by adding clay to reclamation and using —OH-rich materials such as straw to calcine and prepare HHS materials suitable for filling and reclamation.…”
