A Review Study on Gypseous Soils Stabilized with Different Additives in Iraq
Keywords:
Gypseous Soil, Irrigation Canals, Polyurethane, Cement, Acrylate.Abstract
Gypseous soils are mostly found in arid and semi-arid regions and widely distributed in Iraq. It covers 31.7% of the surface area of the country. Soils which cause large damages to the foundations of structures called problematic soil such as gypseous soil. The problem in this kind of soils is the collapsibility. This problem grows up when there is a contact between water and gypseous granules of gypseous soil. The phenomenon of the collapsibility should be controlled in the soil to give good results for the foundation. The controlling process include many ways such as replacement of the soil, chemical and physical treatments. This study presented a review of literature on gypseous soil stabilization by Iraqi researchers which applied their researches in Iraq using many additive materials.
